JEREMIAH 33:6

 

Nevertheless,

I will bring health and healing to it;

I will heal my people

and will let them enjoy

abundant peace and security.

LUKE 18:10-14

10  “Two men went up to the temple to pray,

one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

11  The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed:

 ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other

people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers

—or even like this tax collector.

12  I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

13  “But the tax collector stood at a distance.

He would not even look up to heaven,

but beat his breast and said,

‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

14  “I tell you that this man,

rather than the other, went home justified before God.

For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled,

and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

 

Psalm 46:1-3

 

1 God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam
    and the mountains quake with their surging.

ROMANS 12:9

 

Love must be sincere.

Hate what is evil;

cling to what is good.

PHILIPPIANS 2:3

Do nothing

out of selfish ambition

 or vain conceit.

Rather, in humility

value others above yourselves,

 

JAMES 1:19

 

My dear brothers and sisters,

take note of this:

Everyone should be quick to listen,

slow to speak and

slow to become angry,

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8

 

    There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity
under the heavens:

 

    2 a time to be born and a time to die,

    a time to plant and a time to uproot,

 

    3 a time to kill and a time to heal,

    a time to tear down and a time to build,

 

    4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,

    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

 

    5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

 

    6 a time to search and a time to give up,

 a time to keep and a time to throw away, 

    7 a time to tear and a time to mend,

    a time to be silent and a time to speak,

 

    8 a time to love and a time to hate,

    a time for war and a time for peace.
