Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:2)

Father, help me to resist revenge. My old life is gone & I am a new creation. I won't go back. I trust You. I will decide to mimic Jesus & other God fearing people & refuse to mimic evil ones. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen; We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed we bless; when we are persecuted we endure it; when we are slandered we will answer kindly. (1Corinthians 4:12)

Fear God & keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecclesiastical 12:13)

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. (1John 4:18) You alone are to be feared. Who can stand before You when You are angry? (Psalm 76:7) Fear of man will prove to be a snare,  but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. (Proverbs 29:25) Do not be afraid of them,  for I am with you & will rescue you, declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 1:8) Do not be afraid of them or their words.  Do not be afraid,  though briers & thorns are all around you & you live among scorpions.  (Ezekiel 2:6) For great is the Lord & most worthy of praise;  He is to be feared above all gods. (1Chronicles 16:25) Have I not commanded you? Be strong & courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged,  for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9) Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord,  who is great & awesome,  & fight for your brothers, your sons, & your daughters, your wives & your homes.  (Nehemiah 4:14) Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours,  but God's.  (2Chronicles 20:15) Do not be afraid; you will suffer no shame.  Do not fear disgrace, you will not be humiliated.  (Isaiah 54:4) Be strong & courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.  (1Chronicles 2:13)

The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. (James 5:11)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful & just & will forgive us of our sins & purify us from all unrighteousness. (1John 1:9) The Lord is gracious & compassionate,
slow to anger & rich in love. (Psalm 145:8) Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. (Lamentations 3:22) You are a gracious & compassionate God, slow to anger & abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. (Jonah 4:2) If anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. (1John 2:1) We all stumble in many ways. (James 3:2) He is kind to the ungrateful & wicked. (Luke 6:35) Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared, go now and leave your life of sin. (John 8:11) You are forgiving in good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to You. (Psalm 86:5) Although our sins testify against us, O Lord, do something for the sake of Your name. (Jeremiah 14:7) 

He does not treat us as our sins deserve, or repay us according to our iniquities

Think of what you we're when you we're called. Not many of you we're wise by human standards; not many we're influential; not many we're of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. (1Corinthians 1:26-27)

The Word of God Stands forever (1Peter 1:25)

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent & praiseworthy think about such things. (Philippians 4:8) God's Word is not chained. (2Timothy 2:9) For God does not show favoritism. (Romans 2:11) You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for & certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1) Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that you have done the will of God, you will receive what was promised. (Hebrews 10:35) Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists & that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) In all things we are more than conquerors. (Romans 8:37) As the scripture says, "Anyone who trust in Him will never be put to shame." (Romans 10:11) For God's gifts & His call are irrevocable. (Romans 11:29) God has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord is faithful. (1Corinthians 1:9) And God is able to make all grace abound to you. (2Corin 9:8) You are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26) Be confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6) I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13) Be strong in the Lord in His mighty power. (Ephesians 6:10) If you belong to 
Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
(Galatians329

Do not give the devil a foothold.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. (1Peter 4:8) No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. (Isaiah 54:17) If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of God rests on you. (1Peter 4:14) If God is for us who can be against you? (Romans 8:31) As the scripture says, "anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame. (Romans 10:11) We walk by faith, not by sight.(2Corinthians 5:7) But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. (2Corinthians 12:9) I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. (Phillipians 4:13) Never will I leave you;never will I forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) And we know in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)




Because it is by faith that 
I stand firm.

How great is our God?

I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. Correct me, Lord, but only with justice-not in Your anger, lest You reduce me to nothing. Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the peoples who do not call on your name. (Jeremiah 10:23-25)

All I need is Love.

God is love. (1John 4:16) and we love because He first loved us. (1John 4:19) He has given us this command:Whoever loves God must also love his brother. (1John 4:21) He who conceals his hatred has lying lips. (Proverbs 10:18) And a lying tongue is detestable to Him. (Proverbs 6:16) If anyone says, "I love God, yet hates his brother is a liar. (1John 4:20) And it is the Spirit who testifies because the Spirit is the truth. (1John 5:6) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perserves. Love never fails. (1Corinthians 13:4-8)

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. (John 17:16)

Don't run from God!

My relationship with Him is personal.

I am confident that He lives in me because, I love all--for love comes from God, everyone who loves has been born of God. Whoever does not love, does not know God, because God is love. (1John 4:7-8) I obey His commands and those who obey His commands lives in Him, and He in them and this is how we know that He lives in us. I know it by the spirit He gave me. (1John3:24) I do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. (3John 11) I am truly blessed because I trust in the LORD and my confidence is in Him. (Jeremiah 17:7) I let love and faithfulness never leave me; I bind them around my neck, and write them on the tablet of my heart. (Proverbs 3:3) I'm pressing for the approval of Christ, I am not trying to win the approval of men, if I we're still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10) I can not do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. (2Corin. 13:8) I carry others burdens, and in this way-I fullfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2) I rejoice with those who rejoice; and mourn with those who mourn. (Romans 12:15) I love my friends at all times. (Proverbs 17:17)  Above all, I love others deeply because love covers a multitude of sins. (1Peter 4:8) I bring peace because peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. (James 3:18) I refuse to let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29) I will not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is my strength. (Neh. 8:10) I make it my business to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. (James 1:19) I will work hard at doing the good, for it is God's will that by doing good, I should silence the ignorant talk of of foolish men. (1Peter 2:15) My love is sincere and I hate what is evil; I cling to what is good. (Romans 12:9) I try my best to be devoted to others in brotherly love and I honor everyone above myself. (Romans 12: 9-10) I clothe myself with the LORD JESUS CHRIST and I do not think about how to gratify the desires of my sinful nature. (Romans 13:14) I do not allow what I consider good to be spoken of as evil. (Romans 13:16) If I speak, I do it as if I'm speaking the very words of God. (1Peter 4:11) Because the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart and that can make a man clean or unclean. (Matthew 15:18) I pay attention to what the LORD says and I listen closely to His words and I do not let them out of my sight and I keep them in my heart  (Proverbs 4:20-21) Above all else I guard my heart for it is the well-spring if life. (Proverbs 4:23) Because out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immoraluty, theft, false testimony and slander. (Matthew 15:19) Now that I have purified myself by obeying the truth so that I have sincere love for my brothers and so I can love others deeply from my heart. For I have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring Word of God. (1Peter 1:22-23) So then, if I'm deceitful, I will have to give account of myself to God. (Romans 14:12)
