  1. Psalms.8.1
    1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.
  2. 2From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.
  3. 3When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—
  4. 4what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
  5. 5You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.
  6. 6You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:
  7. 7all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,
  8. 8the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
  9. 9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
  10. 13For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
  11. 14I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.
  12. 15My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
  13. 16Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
  14. 17How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!
  15. 18If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.
  16. 1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  17. 2He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
  18. 3He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.
  19. 4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
  20. 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
  21. 6Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
  22. Isaiah.41.10
    10Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
  23. 11Behold, all who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will be reduced to nothing and will perish.
  24. 12You will seek them but will not find them. Those who wage war against you will come to nothing.
  25. 13For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.
  26. Mark.10.13
    13Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
  27. 14But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
  28. 15Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
  29. 16And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
  30. Matthew.6.25
    25Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
  31. 26Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
  32. 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
  33. 28And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
  34. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
  35. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
  36. 31Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
  37. 32For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
  38. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
  39. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.’’
  40. 24Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
