"So that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises

"My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance...

"The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love

"Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you men of double mind

"He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake

Wait for the Lord , take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the Lord
