Scripture

For God so loved the world that, he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 

 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 

 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.  

 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy. 

 Anxiety weighs down the heart,
but a kind word cheers it up. 

 For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.  

 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 

 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 

  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
