However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
    he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

 

 

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

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

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
    when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

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

Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
    lead me on level ground.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,

“Hosanna!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

“Blessed is the king of Israel!”

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.

You are my refuge and my shield;

    I have put my hope in your word.
