- Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
- As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
- What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
- When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. - Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
- And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
- So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
- For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
- He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
- Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
- For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us.
- Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins,
for your name's sake! - By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
- For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
- Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
- And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
- No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
- Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
- Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
- My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? - For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
- These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
- God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him!
Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
