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 30:18

A single day in your courts

is better than a thousand 

anywhere else!

I would rather be a gatekeeper in the

house of my God

than live the good life in the homes

of the wicked.

For the LORD God is our sun and

our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,

what joy for those who trust in you.

Psalm 84:10-12

Because God’s children are human beings—

made of flesh and blood—

the Son also became flesh and blood.

For only as a human being could he die,

and only by dying could he break the power of the devil,

who had the power of death.

Only in this way could he set free

all who have lived their lives as slaves

to the fear of dying.

Hebrews 2:14-15

I love you,

LORD;

you are my strength.

The LORD is my rock,

my fortress,

and my savior;

my God is my rock, 

in whom I find protection.

He is my shield,

the power that saves me,

and my place of safety.

Psalm 18:1-2

I am praying to you because I know you will answer,

O God.

Bend down and listen as I pray.

Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.

Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

Psalm 17:6, 8

Keep me safe,

O God,

for I have come to you for refuge.

I said to the LORD,

“You are my Master!

Every good thing I have comes from you.”

Psalm 16:1-2

…I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me

if I could not be found.

I,

the LORD,

speak only what is true

and declare only what is right. 

Isaiah 45:19

“I am the LORD;

there is no other God.

I have equipped you for battle…”

Isaiah 45:5

…the one who formed you says,

“Do not be afraid,

for I have ransomed you.

I have called you by name;

you are mine.

When you go through deep waters,

I will be with you.

When you go through rivers of difficulty,

you will not drown.

When you walk through the fire of oppression,

you will not be burned up;

the flames will not consume you.”

Isaiah 43:1-2

For I hold you by your right hand—

I,

the LORD your God.

And I say to you,

‘Don’t be afraid.

I am here to help you.’

Isaiah 41:13
