Foreword  
Many years ago I began reading “The Upper Room” as a daily devotional. I soon found numerous Bible passages spoke to me, like a primer or a guide. When I am weak Paul tells me in Philippians 4:12b-13 ‘I have learned the secret, so anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or to little. I have the strength to face all conditions by the power Christ gives me’. In Psalms 24:12-14 David asks ‘Do you want long life and happiness? Then keep from speaking evil and do good; strive for peace with all your heart’. I began categorizing passages like these and that is where this collection of verses comes from. Now, more than 20 years later the book has grown as I have and is still growing.
In God’s Love,
Nancy

4)   Isaiah 55:6-7 Turn to the Lord and pray to him, now that he is near. Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the Lord, our God; he is merciful and quick to forgive.

8)   Romans 14:8-9 If we live, it is for the Lord we live and if we die, it is for the Lord we die. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For Christ died and rose to life in order to be the Lord of the living and dead.
9)   Matthew 9:12-13 Jesus heard them and answered, “People who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick. Go and find out what is meant by the scripture that says: ‘It is kindness I want, not animal sacrifices.’ I have not come to call respectable people, but outcasts”.
10)    Psalms 51:1 Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away all my sins.
11)    Matthew 4:4 But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Man cannot live on bread alone, but needs every word God speaks’”.

Yet God is actually not far from anyone of us, as someone has said, ‘In him we live and move and exist’.

15)   Joshua 1:9 Remember I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, and with you wherever you go.
16)   Isaiah 43:1b …the Lord who created you says, “Do not be afraid–I will save you. I have called you by name you are mine.

26)   Galatians 4:4-7 But when the right time finally came, God sent his own son. He came as the son of a human mother and lived under the Jewish Law. To redeem those who were under the Law, so we might become God’s sons. To show you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries out, “Father, my Father.” So then you are no longer a slave but a son.
