1. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.”

2 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

3 “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”

4 “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect”
