Time to Forgive
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving.—Ephesians 4:31–32 (NIV)
Courage
Having courage means facing your fears, making difficult choices, and staying true to yourself and your faith at all times.
The Power of Personal Experience
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NIV)
Release Your Fear of Failure
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.—2 Corinthians 4:16–17 (NIV)
Grow into Your Dreams
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.—Psalm 37:4 (ESV)
Trust the Lord
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.”—Luke 1:30–31 (NIV)
The One Who Serves
But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.—Luke 22:26 (NIV)
When You Are Afraid
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.—Psalm 34:4 (NIV)
Bold in Faith
Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.—Mark 15:43 (NIV)
Strength for the Day
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
Take Your Trials in Stride
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.—Matt hew 4:1–2 (NIV)
Set Your Mind on Things Above
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.—Colossians 3:1–2 (NIV)
