…in my distress I cried out to the LORD;
yes, I prayed to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
my cry to him reached his ears.

Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you.
Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God.
Bend down and listen as I pray.
(Hubbard Glacier)
…to you who are willing to listen,
I say, love your enemies!
Do good to those who hate you.
Bless those who curse you.
Pray for those who hurt you.
I will bless the LORD who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the LORD is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
The LORD’s promises are pure,
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.
