Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭24-25‬

“Whoever hears these teachings of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. But it did not fall because it was built on rock. (‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭24-25‬ ERV)

Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭6-8‬

But when you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Then pray to your Father. He is there in that private place. He can see what is done in private, and he will reward you. “And when you pray, don’t be like the people who don’t know God. They say the same things again and again. They think that if they say it enough, their god will hear them. Don’t be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. (‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭6-8‬ ERV)

Psalms‬ ‭7‬:‭10-13

God helps people who want to do right, so he will protect me. God is a good judge. He always condemns evil. If the wicked will not change, then God is ready to punish them. He has prepared his deadly weapons. His sword is sharp. His bow is strung, drawn back, and ready to shoot its flaming arrow. (‭Psalms‬ ‭7‬:‭10-13‬ ERV)

Psalms‬ ‭3‬:‭1-6

Lord, I have so many enemies. So many people have turned against me. They say to themselves, “God will not rescue him!” Selah But you, Lord, protect me. You bring me honor; you give me hope. I will pray to the Lord, and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah I can lie down to rest and know that I will wake up, because the Lord covers and protects me. So I will not be afraid of my enemies, even if thousands of them surround me. (‭Psalms‬ ‭3‬:‭1-6‬ ERV)

Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭1-6‬

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly. For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
(‭Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭1-6‬ NLT)

Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭12-13‬

Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ). [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. (‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭12-13‬ AMP)

Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬

Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. (‭Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬ NLT)
