Fathers commandments and abide in his love.

of those who love him, who have been called according
to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
If God is for us, who can be against us? Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble
or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness
or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him who loved us. For
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

which surpasses all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved,

is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is
any excellence and if there is anything worthy of
praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:6-8)

(2 Timothy 1:7)
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to
sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who

sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace

grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal
glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen,
and establish you. (1 Peter 5: 7-10)

me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against
me, even then will I be confident. One thing I ask
of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell
in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him

me you can do nothing. If you abide in me, and my
words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and
it will be done for you. If you keep my commandments,
you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my
Fathers commandments and abide in his love.
(John 15:4-5, 7, 10)
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead
dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead
will give life to your mortal bodies also through
his Spirit that dwells in you. (Romans 8:11)
I consider that the sufferings of this present time
are not worth comparing with the glory about to be
revealed to us. (Romans 8:18)
And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love him, who have been called according
to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
If God is for us, who can be against us? Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble
or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness
or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him who loved us. For
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:31b, 35, 37-39)
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your
feet. (Romans 16:20)
No testing has overtaken you that is not common to
everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you
be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing
he will also provide the way out so that you may be
able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
For we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we
despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we
had received the sentence of death so that we would
rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
He who rescued us from so deadly a peril will continue
to rescue us; on him we have set our hope that he
will rescue us again. (2 Corinthians 1:8b-10a)
But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it
may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs
to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted
in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not
driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck
down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body
the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may
also be made visible in our bodies. (2 Corinthians
4:7-10)
So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature
is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed
day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is
preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond
all measure, because we look not at what can be seen
but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is
temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. (2
Corinthians 4:16-18)
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation:
everything old has passed away; see, everything has
become new! (2 Corinthians 5:17)
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so
that in all things at all times, having all that you
need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians
9:8)
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9a)
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer
live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the
body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the
proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give
up. (Galatians 6:9)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in
the heavenly places. (Ephesians 1:3)
Do not worry about anything, but in everything by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known to God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved,
whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever
is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is
any excellence and if there is anything worthy of
praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:6-8)
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it
is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being
content in any and every situation. I can do everything
through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:12a,13)
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things
that are on earth, for you have died, and your life
is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your
life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with
him in glory. (Colossians 3:2-4)
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. (Colossians
3:15a)
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and
protect you from the evil one.
(2 Thessalonians 3:3)
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at
all times and in every way.
(2 Thessalonians 3:16)
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but
a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
(2 Timothy 1:7)
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and
will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him
be glory for ever and ever. (2 Timothy 4:18)
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to
sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who
in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without
sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace
with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find
grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:15-16)
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and
the love you have shown him as you have helped his
people and continue to help them. (Hebrews 6:10)
Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be
content with what you have; for he has said, I
will never leave you or forsake you. So we can
say with confidence, The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?
(Hebrews 13:5-6)
If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives
to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be
given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the
one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and
tossed by the wind. (James 1:5-6)
Let those suffering in accordance with Gods
will entrust themselves to a faithful Creator, while
continuing to do good. (1 Peter 4:19)
Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for
you. Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring
lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking
for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your
faith. And after you have suffered for a little while,
the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal
glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen,
and establish you. (1 Peter 5:7-9a, 10)
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives
out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We
love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:18-19)
For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This
is the victory that has overcome the world, even our
faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he
who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
(1 John 5:4-5)
