Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

    will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

    he is my God, and I trust him.

Psalm 91:1-2

Make it your goal to live a quiet life,

minding your own business…

1 Thessalonians 4:11

…Our purpose is to please God,

not people.

He alone examines the motives of our hearts.

1 Thessalonians 2:4

…looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven—

Jesus, whom God raised from the dead.

He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors 

of the coming judgment.

1 Thessalonians 1:10

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind 

and a thankful heart.

Live wisely among those who are not believers,

and make the most of every opportunity.

Let your conversation be gracious and attractive

so that you will have the right response for everyone.

Colossians 4:1, 5-6

Give thanks to the LORD

and proclaim his greatness.

Let the whole world know what he has done.

Exult in his holy name;

rejoice; you who worship the LORD.

Psalm 105:1, 3

Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth!

Worship the LORD with gladness.

Come before him, singing with joy.

Acknowledge that the LORD is God!

He made us, and we are his.

We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

go into his courts with praise.

Give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the LORD is good.

His unfailing love continues forever,

and his faithfulness continues to each generation.

Psalm 100:1-5

Lord, through all the generations

you have been our home!

Before the mountains were born,

before you gave birth to the earth and the world,

from beginning to end, you are God.

Psalm 90:1-2

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

“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.

Remind me that my days are numbered—

how fleeting my life is.

You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.

My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;

at best, each of us is but a breath.”

Psalm 39:4-5
