For everything there is a season,

        A time for every activity under heaven.

A time to be born and a time to die.

    A time to plant and a time to harvest.

A time to kill and a time to heal.

    A time to tear down and a time to build up.

A time to cry and a time to laugh.

    A time to grieve and a time to dance.

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.

    A time to embrace and a time to turn away.

A time to search and a time to quit searching.

    A time to keep and a time to throw away.

A time to tear and a time to mend.

    A time to be quiet and a time to speak.

A time to love and a time to hate.

    A time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

The time is coming when everything that is covered up 

will be revealed,

and all that is secret 

will be made known to all.

Whatever you have said in the dark 

will be heard in the light,

and what you have whispered 

behind closed doors

will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!

Luke 12:2-3

My heart is confident in you, O God;

my heart is confident…

Psalm 57:7

…I look to you for protection.

I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings

until the danger passes by.

Psalms 57:1

Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God…

Then call on me when you are in trouble,

and I will rescue you,

and you will give me glory.

…giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me.

Psalm 50:14,15, 23

God is our refuge and strength,

always ready to help in times of trouble.

So we will not fear when earthquakes come

and the mountains crumble into the sea.

Let the oceans roar and foam.

Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!

Psalm 46:1-3

For that is what God is like.

He is our God forever and ever,

and he will guide us until we die.

Psalm 48:14

If anyone is ashamed of me and my message,

the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person

when he returns in his glory

and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. 

Luke 9:26

Be still in the presence of the LORD,

and wait patiently for him to act.

Psalm 37:7
