You have started living a new life. Your knowledge of how that life should have the Creator’s likeness is being made new.

But those who trust in the Lord will receive new strength. They will fly as high as eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not grow weak.

He gives strength to those who are tired. He gives power to those who are weak.

Deep inside me I find joy in God’s law.

So because of God’s mercy, we have work to do. He has given it to us. And we don’t give up.

Don’t live the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.

I pray that he will use his glorious riches to make you strong. May his Holy Spirit give you his power deep down inside you.

He saved us. It wasn’t because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.

Here is something I am still sure of. I will see the Lord’ s goodness while I’m still alive.

You were taught to be made new in your thinking.

My body and my heart may grow weak. God, you give strength to my heart. You are everything I will ever need.

Instead, your beauty comes from inside you. It is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Beauty like this doesn’t fade away. God places great value on it.

My dear brothers and sisters, remain strong in the faith. Don’t let anything move you. Always give yourselves completely to the work of the Lord. Because you belong to the Lord, you know that your work is not worthless.

So I will be very happy to spend everything I have for you. I will even spend myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?

God, create a pure heart in me. Give me a new spirit that is faithful to you.

Those who are right with God die. And no one really cares about it. People who are faithful to the Lord are swept away by trouble. And no one understands why that happens to those who do what is right.Those who lead honest lives will enjoy peace and rest when they die.

Though my skin will be destroyed, in my body I’ll see God.I myself will see him with my own eyes. I’ll see him, and he won’t be a stranger to me. How my heart longs for that day!

I deeply long for you to save me. I have put my hope in your word.

Give us each day our daily bread.

If your right eye causes you to sin, poke it out and throw it away. Your eye is only one part of your body. It is better to lose an eye than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. Your hand is only one part of your body. It is better to lose a hand than for your whole body to go into hell.
