The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.

 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!
    For each day he carries us in his arms.   NLT

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

"For no word from God will ever fail.”

Search me, God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

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

Be strong and take heart,
    all you who hope in the Lord.

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield[a] and the horn[b] of my salvation, my stronghold.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

"The grass withers and the flowers fall,
    but the word of our God endures forever.”

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much".

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
    the righteous run to it and are safe.

My comfort in my suffering is this:
    Your promise preserves my life.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

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