If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
Matthew 10:39
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
Psalm 23:4
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
Great Shepherd, we give you thanks for walking with us every moment of our lives, and for lifting us from the despairs of this world. May we find true comfort and peace in you, our ever-present Lord and Savior. Amen.
