Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Galatians 5:24
“I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Thank You, Lord!
And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5,6
“Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word, just to rest upon His promise; just to know, thus saith the Lord. I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; and I know that Thou art with me, and will be with me to the end. Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, how I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er, Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus! O, for grace to trust Him more.”
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3
“O God, you have prepared for those who love you, such good things as surpass our understanding. Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises which exceed all that we can desire or ask.” Favorable hear us good Lord, for we are forever grateful for your goodness towards us.
Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, live peaceably with all men. Romans 12
“Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord’.Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him, if he is thirsty, give him a drink, for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
“Now honor the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and do his will. I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow Your laws. I will hurry, without delay, to obey Your commands.”
Do not be conformed to this world, do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romand 12:2
Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. Psalm 66
“You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs, you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you, vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.” Help us, Lord, to keep the vows we make to you when we were in trouble and called out to you for help and you heard us.
Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. Romans 6:13
Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:16
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1
“ You were bought at a price, therefore glorify God with your body. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is; his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
