Isaiah 26:3a; Psalm 139:12; 1 John 1:5b; Psalm 119:175a; Matthew 6:13b

³Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

¹²Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

⁵This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

¹⁷⁵Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
