James 1:5-8

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

1 Thes 5:16

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Psa 66:10-12

For you, O God, tested us; you refined 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 water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

Psa 73:23-26

Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh & my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart & my portion forever.

Psa 89:30-34

If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.

1 Tim 6:9-11

People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. People, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

Neh 8:10

Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

1 John 2:3-5b

We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him.

Matt 10:16

I am sending you all like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

Matt 11:28

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

Matt 7:7-8

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matt 6:33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Psa 73:26

My flesh & my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart & my portion forever.

1 John 3:1

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

2 Cor 12:9-10

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

1 Thes 2:8

We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you have become so dear to us.
