Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” ‭

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

For dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations.

You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

And this is what he promised us–eternal life.

Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them.

Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

Stay away from every kind of evil.

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.

Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
