My goal is that their hearts would be encouraged and united together in love, so that they might have all the riches of assurance that come with understanding, so that they might have the knowledge of the secret plan of God, namely Christ.

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart. . .

Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

Are any among you suffering? They should pray.

Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
