I have heard all about you, 

Lord.
    
I am filled with awe by your amazing works.

In this time of our deep need,
    
help us again as you did in years gone by…

Habakkk 3:2

The Lord is good,
    
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
    
He is close to those who trust in him.

Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good to those who depend on him,
    
to those who search for him.

Lamentations 3:25

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
    
His mercies never cease.

Great is his faithfulness;
    
his mercies begin afresh each morning.

I say to myself, 

“The Lord is my inheritance;
    
therefore, 

I will hope in him!”

Lamentations 3:22-24

For since our friendship with God was restored 

by the death of his Son 

while we were still his enemies, 

we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 

So now we can rejoice 

in our wonderful new relationship with God 

because our Lord Jesus Christ 

has made us friends of God.

Romans 5:10-11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    
do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do,
    
and he will show you which path to take.

Proverbs 3:5-6

(Stockholm, Sweden)

How amazing are the deeds of the Lord!

All who delight in him should ponder them.

Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.

His righteousness never fails.

He causes us to remember his wonderful works.
    
How gracious and merciful is our Lord!

Psalm 111:2-4

My heart is confident in you, 

O God;
    
no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!

Wake up, 

lyre and harp!
    
I will wake the dawn with my song.

I will thank you, 

Lord, 

among all the people.
    
I will sing your praises among the nations.

For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Be exalted, 

O God, 

above the highest heavens.
    
May your glory shine over all the earth.

Psalm 108:1-4

There once was a man named Job 

who lived in the land of Uz. 

He was blameless—

a man of complete integrity. 

He feared God and stayed away from evil. 

…Job would purify his children. 

He would get up early in the morning 

and offer a burnt offering for each of them. 

For Job said to himself, 

“Perhaps my children have sinned 

and have cursed God in their hearts.” 

This was Job’s regular practice.

Job 1:1, 5

How lovely is your dwelling place,

O Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

I long, 

yes, 

I faint with longing
    
to enter the courts of the Lord.

With my whole being, 

body and soul,
    
I will shout joyfully to the living God.

Psalm 84:1-2
