I pray that God,
the source of hope,
will fill you completely with joy and peace
because you trust in him.
Then you will overflow with confident hope
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

…I will show my greatness and holiness,
and I will make myself known
to all the nations of the world.
Then they will know that I am the LORD.

…at just the right time
Christ will be revealed from heaven
by the blessed and only almighty God,
the King of all kings
and the Lord of all lords.
He alone can never die,
and he lives in light so brilliant
that no man can approach him…

Fight the good fight for the true faith.
Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you,
which you have confessed so well before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12

…the LORD’s delight is in those who fear him,
those who put their hope in his unfailing love.

…we brought nothing with us
when we came into the world,
and we can’t take anything with us
when we leave it.
So if we have enough food and clothing,
let us be content.

I will bless my people and their homes
around my holy hill.
And in the proper season
I will send the showers they need.
There will be showers of blessings.
Ezekiel 34:26

I myself will tend my sheep
and give them a place to lie down in peace,
says the Sovereign LORD.
I will search for my lost ones who strayed away,
and I will bring them safely home again.
I will bandage the injured and strengthen the weak…

For this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
I myself will search and find my sheep.
I will be like a shepherd looking for his scattered flock.
I will find my sheep and rescue them from all the places
where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day.
I will bring them back home…

As surely as I live,
says the Sovereign LORD,
I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people.
I only want them to turn from their wicked ways
so they can live.
Turn!
Turn from your wickedness…
Why should you die?
