““And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:5-6, 14-15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Romans 12:14-18

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never repay evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all people. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people.

The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked:
who can know it?
I the Lord search the heart,
I try the reins,
even to give every man according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 17:9-10

Wisdom from God
…26Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,…

[Prycejosh1987]

a cousin emailed me and suggested that I read Scripture for the next 90 days, and try to remember verses that I can apply when the enemy (and...in my case...much of my community, lol) attack. and so...

yeah. I'm on it! I thought I'd post to also encourage some of you who have encouraged me to do the same, or maybe to encourage other struggling believers out there to give it a try. I think it's gonna be -awesome-

Any verse in proverbs does the trick for me.

To the Church in Laodicea
…19Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me. 21To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.…

because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example,
