Praise the LORD; praise God our savior!

For each day he carries us in his arms.

Our God is a God who saves!

The Sovereign LORD rescues us from death.

Psalm 59:19-20

Look! The LORD is about to destroy the earth

and make it a vast wasteland…

Then the glory of the moon will wane,

and the brightness of the sun will fade,

for the LORD of Heaven’s Armies

will rule on Mount Zion…

Isaiah 24:1, 23

A final word:

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Put on all of God’s armor 

so that you will be able to stand firm

against all strategies of the devil.

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies,

but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,

against mighty powers in this dark world,

and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 6:10-12

Don’t sin by letting anger control you.

Think about it overnight and remain silent.

Psalm 4:4

If you need wisdom,

ask our generous God,

and he will give it to you.

He will not rebuke you for asking.

James 1:5

This is what the Sovereign LORD,

the Holy One of Israel, says:

“Only in returning to me

and resting in me will you be saved…

So the LORD must wait for you to come to him

so he can show you his love and compassion.

For the LORD is a faithful God.

Blessed are those who wait for his help.

Isaiah 30:15, 18

“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars.

On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity

at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

Men will faint from terror,

apprehensive of what is coming on the world,

for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

At that time they will see the Son of Man

coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

When these things begin to take place,

stand up and lift your heads,

because your redemption is drawing near.”

Luke 21:25-28

“So I say to you:

Ask and it will be given to you;

seek and you will find;

knock and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives;

he who seeks finds;

and to him who knocks,

the door will be opened.

Luke 11:9-10

Teach me your ways, O LORD,

that I may live according to your truth!

Grant me purity of heart,

so that I may honor you.

With all my heart I will praise you, 

O Lord my God.

I will give glory to your name forever,

for your love for me is very great.

You have rescued me from the depths of death.

Psalm 86:11-13

(Sedona Airport Loop Trail, Sedona, AZ)

The LORD is compassionate and merciful,

slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

He will not constantly accuse us,

nor remain angry forever.

For his unfailing love toward those who fear him

is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

He has removed our sins as far from us

as the east is from the west.

Psalm 103:8-9, 11-12
