Psalm 27:1 -“The LORD is my light and my
salvation whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life of whom
shall I be afraid?”
Luke 12:22-34 - “Then Jesus said to his
disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you
will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and
the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they
have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you
are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since
you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? "Consider
how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even
Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God
clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown
into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do
not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For
the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need
them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. "Do
not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the
kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for
yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be
exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your
treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Isaiah 55:6 - “Seek the LORD while he may be
found; call upon him while he is near.”
Ephesians 3:20-21 - “Now
to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in
Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
2 Corinthians 9:8 - “And
God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in
all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”
Colossians 1:13 - “He
has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom
of his beloved Son.”
James 1:12 - “Blessed is the man who
remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive
the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:2-4 - “Count it all joy, my
brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing
of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full
effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
Romans 5:2-5 -“Through him we have also
obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in
hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings,
knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character,
and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s
love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given
to us.”
Romans 8:28 - “And we know that for those
who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called
according to his purpose.”
