Even you who are bad know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father knows how to give the Holy Spirit to the people who ask him.
Luke 11:13
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Colossians 3:13
Change your hearts! And show by the way you live that you have changed. I know what you are thinking. You want to say, ‘But Abraham is our father!’ That means nothing. I tell you, God could make children for Abraham from these rocks.
Matthew 3:8-9
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
Psalm 68:5-6
If you wander from the right path, either to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice behind you saying, “You should go this way. Here is the right way.”
Isaiah 30:21
The Lord is my light and my salvation. I fear no one.
The Lord protects my life. I am afraid of no one.
When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall.
Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear.
Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.
I have asked the Lord for one thing—this is what I desire!
I want to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.
He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home.
He will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.
Psalm 27:1-5
Great blessings belong to those who suffer persecution for doing what is right.
God’s kingdom belongs to them.
Matthew 5:10
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come, neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great! For in the same way, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12
