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

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

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

5 This 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.

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

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

Isaiah 40:11; Matthew 11:28-29

11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
