John‬ ‭6:27-29‬

“But earthly food spoils and ruins. So don’t work to get that kind of food. But work to get the food that stays good and gives you eternal life. The Son of Man will give you that food. He is the only one qualified by God the Father to give it to you.” The people asked Jesus, “What does God want us to do?” Jesus answered, “The work God wants you to do is this: to believe in the one he sent.””

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:16-19

“The Lord is making roads through the sea. He is making a path for his people, even through rough waters. The Lord says, “Those who fight against me with their chariots, horses, and armies will be defeated. They will never rise again. They will be destroyed. They will be put out like the flame in a lamp. So don’t remember what happened in earlier times. Don’t think about what happened a long time ago, because I am doing something new! Now you will grow like a new plant. Surely you know this is true. I will even make a road in the desert, and rivers will flow through that dry land.”

Isaiah‬ ‭1:4-6, 18, 27-28

“Oh, what a sinful nation! Their guilt is like a heavy weight that they must carry. They are evil, destructive children. They left the Lord and insulted the Holy One of Israel. They turned away and treated him like a stranger. What good will it do to keep punishing you? You will continue to rebel. Your whole head and heart are already sick and aching. From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head, every part of your body has wounds, cuts, and open sores. You have not taken care of them. Your wounds have not been cleaned and bandaged.

“I, the Lord, am the one speaking to you. Come, let’s discuss this. Even if your sins are as dark as red dye, that stain can be removed and you will be as pure as wool that is as white as snow.

God is good and does what is right, so he will rescue Zion and the people who come back to him. But all the criminals and sinners will be destroyed. Those who stopped following the Lord will be removed.”

It broke large rocks in front of the Lord. But that wind was not the Lord. After that wind, there was an earthquake. But that earthquake was not the Lord. After the earthquake, there was a fire. But that fire was not the Lord. After the fire, there was a quiet, gentle voice.”

Isaiah‬ ‭43:1-5, 23-25

“Jacob, the Lord created you. Israel, he made you, and now he says, “Don’t be afraid. I saved you. I named you. You are mine. When you have troubles, I am with you. When you cross rivers, you will not be hurt. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not hurt you. That’s because I, the Lord, am your God. I, the Holy One of Israel, am your Savior. I gave Egypt to pay for you. I gave Ethiopia and Seba to make you mine. You are precious to me, and I have given you a special place of honor. I love you. That’s why I am willing to trade others, to give up whole nations, to save your life. “So don’t be afraid, because I am with you. I will gather your children and bring them to you. I will gather them from the east and from the west.

You have not brought your sheep as sacrifices to me. You have not honored me with your sacrifices. I did not force you to give gifts to me like slaves. I did not force you to burn incense until you became tired. So you did not use your money to buy things to honor me. But you did force me to be like your slave. You sinned until the bad things you did made me very tired. “I, I am the one who wipes away all your sins. I do this to please myself. I will not remember your sins.”

“Praise the Lord! He is my Rock. He prepares me for war. He trains me for battle. He loves me and protects me. He is my safe place high on the mountain. He rescues me. He is my shield. I trust in him. He helps me rule my people.

Lord, tear open the skies and come down. Touch the mountains, and smoke will rise from them. Send the lightning and make my enemies run away. Shoot your “arrows” and make them run away. Reach down from heaven and save me! Don’t let me drown in this sea of enemies. Save me from these foreigners. They are all liars, even when they swear to tell the truth. God, I will sing a new song for you. I will play a ten-stringed harp and sing praise to you. You are the one who gives victory to kings. You saved your servant David from the sword of his enemy.

How wonderful to have such blessings! Yes, great blessings belong to those who have the Lord as their God.”

Habakkuk‬ ‭2:18-20‬

“Their false god will not help them, because it is only a statue that someone covered with metal. It is only a statue, so whoever made it cannot expect it to help. That statue cannot even speak! Look at them! They speak to a wooden statue and tell it, “Get up! Rescue me.” They talk to a stone that cannot speak and say, “Wake up!” Don’t you know those things cannot help you? That statue may be covered with gold and silver, but there is no life in it. But the Lord is in his holy temple, so the whole earth should be silent in his presence and show him respect.”

Lamentations‬ ‭3:20-33‬

“I remember well all my troubles, and I am very sad. But then I think about this, and I have hope: We are still alive because the Lord ’S faithful love never ends. Every morning he shows it in new ways! You are so very true and loyal! I say to myself, “The Lord is my God, and I trust him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him. He is good to those who look for him. It is good to wait quietly for the Lord to save them. It is good for a man to wear his yoke from the time he is young. He should sit alone and be quiet when the Lord puts his yoke on him. He should bow down to the Lord. Maybe there is still hope. He should turn his cheek to the one who hits him and let people insult him. He should remember that the Lord does not reject people forever. When he punishes, he also has mercy. He has mercy because of his great love and kindness. He does not enjoy causing people pain. He does not like to make anyone unhappy.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:4-6, 15, 18

“We can say this, because through Christ we feel sure before God. I don’t mean that we are able to do anything good ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do. He made us able to be servants of a new agreement from himself to his people. It is not an agreement of written laws, but it is of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

Yes, even today, when they read the Law of Moses, there is a covering over their minds.

And our faces are not covered. We all show the Lord’s glory, and we are being changed to be like him. This change in us brings more and more glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”

Psalms‬ ‭34:4-10, 17-20, 22

“I went to the Lord for help, and he listened. He saved me from all that I fear. If you look to him for help, he will put a smile on your face. You will have no need to be ashamed. As a poor, helpless man I prayed to the Lord, and he heard me. He saved me from all my troubles. The Lord ’S angel builds a camp around his followers, and he protects them. Give the Lord a chance to show you how good he is. Great blessings belong to those who depend on him! The Lord ’S holy people should fear and respect him. Those who respect him will always have what they need. Even strong lions get weak and hungry, but those who go to the Lord for help will have every good thing.

Pray to the Lord, and he will hear you. He will save you from all your troubles. The Lord is close to those who have suffered disappointment. He saves those who are discouraged. Good people might have many problems, but the Lord will take them all away. He will protect them completely. Not one of their bones will be broken.

The Lord saves his servants. All who go to him for protection will escape punishment.”

Psalms‬ ‭103:1-13

“My soul, praise the Lord! Every part of me, praise his holy name! My soul, praise the Lord and never forget how kind he is! He forgives all our sins and heals all our sicknesses. He saves us from the grave, and he gives us love and compassion. He gives us plenty of good things. He makes us young again, like an eagle that grows new feathers. The Lord does what is fair. He brings justice to all who have been hurt by others. He taught his laws to Moses. He let Israel see the powerful things he can do. The Lord is kind and merciful. He is patient and full of love. He does not always criticize. He does not stay angry with us forever. We sinned against him, but he didn’t give us the punishment we deserved. His love for his followers is as high above us as heaven is above the earth. And he has taken our sins as far away from us as the east is from the west. The Lord is as kind to his followers as a father is to his children.”

John‬ ‭21:4-9, 11-12

“Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore. But the followers did not know it was Jesus. Then he said to them, “Friends, have you caught any fish?” They answered, “No.” He said, “Throw your net into the water on the right side of your boat. You will find some fish there.” So they did this. They caught so many fish that they could not pull the net back into the boat. The follower Jesus loved very much said to Peter, “That man is the Lord!” When Peter heard him say it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself. (He had taken his clothes off to work.) Then he jumped into the water. The other followers went to shore in the boat. They pulled the net full of fish. They were not very far from shore, only about 100 yards. When they stepped out of the boat and onto the shore, they saw a fire of hot coals. There were fish on the fire and some bread there too.

Simon Peter got into the boat and pulled the net to the shore. It was full of big fish—153 of them! But even with that many fish, the net did not tear. Jesus said to them, “Come and eat.” None of the followers would ask him, “Who are you?” They knew he was the Lord.”

Or when you ask, you don’t receive anything, because the reason you ask is wrong. You only want to use it for your own pleasure.

Come near to God and he will come near to you. You are sinners, so clean sin out of your lives. You are trying to follow God and the world at the same time. Make your thinking pure.”
