Psalm 40:1-17 LSB

I hoped earnestly for Yahweh; And He inclined to me and heard my cry for help. [2] He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a high rock, He established my steps. [3] He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in Yahweh. [4] How blessed is the man who has made Yahweh his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who stray into falsehood. [5] Many, O Yahweh my God, are the wondrous deeds You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. I would declare and speak of them, But they are too numerous to recount. [6] Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. [7] Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. [8] “I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my inner being.” [9] I proclaim good news of righteousness in the great assembly; Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O Yahweh, You know. [10] I do not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I speak of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I do not hide Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly. [11] You, O Yahweh, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually guard me. [12] For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me. [13] Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me; Make haste, O Yahweh, to help me. [14] Let those be ashamed and humiliated together Who seek my life to sweep it away; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in evil against me. [15] Let those be appalled because of their shame Who say to me, “Aha, aha!” [16] Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Yahweh be magnified!” [17] As for me, I am afflicted and needy, May the Lord think of me. You are my help and the One who rescues me; Do not delay, O my God.

Romans 5:1-11 NLT

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. [2] Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. [3] We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. [4] And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. [5] And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. [6] When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. [7] Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. [8] But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. [9] And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. [10] For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. [11] So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Matthew 6:33-34 GW

But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you. [34] “So don’t ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Romans 8:14-17

Certainly, all who are guided by God’s Spirit are God’s children. [15] You haven’t received the spirit of slaves that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the spirit of God’s adopted children by which we call out, “Abba! Father!” [16] The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. [17] If we are his children, we are also God’s heirs. If we share in Christ’s suffering in order to share his glory, we are heirs together with him.

1 Peter 2:25 GW
You were like lost sheep. Now you have come back to the shepherd and bishop of your lives.

Ephesians 2:1-22 GW

You were once dead because of your failures and sins. [2] You followed the ways of this present world and its spiritual ruler. This ruler continues to work in people who refuse to obey God. [3] All of us once lived among these people, and followed the desires of our corrupt nature. We did what our corrupt desires and thoughts wanted us to do. So, because of our nature, we deserved God’s anger just like everyone else. [4] But God is rich in mercy because of his great love for us. [5] We were dead because of our failures, but he made us alive together with Christ. (It is God’s kindness that saved you.) [6] God has brought us back to life together with Christ Jesus and has given us a position in heaven with him. [7] He did this through Christ Jesus out of his generosity to us in order to show his extremely rich kindness in the world to come. [8] God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God. [9] It’s not the result of anything you’ve done, so no one can brag about it.

[10] God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do. [11] Remember that once you were not Jewish physically. Those who called themselves “the circumcised” because of what they had done to their bodies called you “the uncircumcised.” [12] Also, at that time you were without Christ. You were excluded from citizenship in Israel, and the pledges God made in his promise were foreign to you. You had no hope and were in the world without God. [13] But now through Christ Jesus you, who were once far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ. [14] So he is our peace. In his body he has made Jewish and non-Jewish people one by breaking down the wall of hostility that kept them apart. [15] He brought an end to the commandments and demands found in Moses’ Teachings so that he could take Jewish and non-Jewish people and create one new humanity in himself. So he made peace. [16] He also brought them back to God in one body by his cross, on which he killed the hostility. [17] He came with the Good News of peace for you who were far away and for those who were near. [18] So Jewish and non-Jewish people can go to the Father in one Spirit. [19] That is why you are no longer foreigners and outsiders but citizens together with God’s people and members of God’s family. [20] You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Jesus himself is the cornerstone. [21] In him all the parts of the building fit together and grow into a holy temple in the Lord. [22] Through him you, also, are being built in the Spirit together with others into a place where God lives.
