He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword…it exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Be very careful about what you think. Your thoughts run your life.

Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.

We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.

Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; for the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught.

For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace.

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven’s armies! the whole earth is filled with his glory!”

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
