He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.

The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD accepts my prayer.

“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.”

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep his commands.

As I have designed, so shall it be; and as I have planned, so shall it come to pass.

O LORD of hosts, happy is everyone who trusts in you.

Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in you I put my trust. Teach me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all day long?

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
