Whispers from God

Red Blood Stained

Scripture Focus: Colossians 1: 15-20 (ESV)

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”

Have you ever hurt yourself so badly that you started bleeding all over the place?

One time I was returning from shopping at a home store. I had bought a large picture frame that was shaped like an arched window and within that frame were 6 glass panels. Each panel had 2 pieces of glass and the idea was to put a picture in between the two glass panels. The plastic pieces used to secure the glass were attached to a little screw so you could move them to secure or remove your pictures from the frame. While carrying the frame into my house from the car, one of the panels had come loose and fell out. Unfortunately for me, I was wearing flip flops at the time it painfully landed on my toes and then proceeded to shatter over my tile floor. Immediately blood from the toes on my right foot began to flow.

I had to grab my 2 Corgis to get them out of the way of the broken glass before I could tend to my bleeding foot. As I moved, a trail of blood followed me. I reached for a towel and wrapped it around my foot, swept up the glass as best I could for the moment and then went to clean up and bandage my toes. It was a messy scene. I didn’t think I would ever get the red blood stains out of my towel or off my clothes.

This morning as I was praying, I was praising God for the precious blood of Jesus and thanking Him that I had been made clean, whiter than snow by His red, red blood. I started thinking about blood and what it does when it gets on fabric like clothes or towels. It can leave a stain that is hard to get out as I found out in the instance above. After multiple washes the stains faded, but the residue was still there.

Is it possible that a blood stain could be good for us, where the residue that remains, would change our lives forever—for the better?

It seems like such a contradiction that blood could make something whiter than snow. Our natural minds cannot wrap our heads around the thought. But without the stain of Jesus blood covering our lives, we would not be forgiven from sin or ever be able to enter into His Kingdom when we die. The red of His blood released His cleansing power in our lives to make us whiter than snow. Jesus’ red blood stain on our lives is what enables the Father to see us. We are stained permanently by His love and He will never leave us.

To be stained by Jesus’ blood is to be marked by the sacrifice of His love in the giving of his life for us. His blood protects us just like the blood of the perfect lamb that was killed and sprinkled on the doorposts and lentils of the Israelites homes during the Passover. It prevents the angel of death and destruction from permanently taking our lives.

Jesus’ blood seals us for eternity. It saves us from eternal death and gives us eternal life with our Heavenly Father. It permanently stains our souls, making us whiter than snow by cleansing us from sin.

Prayer:

Thank You Father for Jesus’ blood. Thank You that it has stained and sustained our lives in the best way possible because it has saved us from eternal death and given us the gift of eternal life. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to know Jesus personally and to have received the gift of His salvation because we have been red blood stained.

In the precious name of Jesus, our Savior. Amen.

Colossians 1: 13, 14

“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

1 John 1:7

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Revelation 1:5

“and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood”

Mangled or ‘Man’gled

Feeling disconnected from God? Perhaps it’s time to take an honest look at your priorities. God is always there for you, ready and waiting to be included in your life. Your part is to choose to spend time in His word, to seek Him, and to ask for His help in your times of trouble. Make your relationship with Him your first priority instead of your last.

July 24, 2026

Devotional:

Do you know God and claim to have a relationship with Him? Do you ever feel disconnected from Him? Have you skipped out on praying to Him or reading His Word? Have you been irritable or grumpy but you don’t really know why?

I know Him, but there have been times when He has not been my first priority. The other day life was getting in the way of me taking time to connect with Jesus. I didn’t pray. I didn’t read the Scripture. I just went on about the business of dealing with my life and its circumstances. But I felt this nagging emptiness and I saw myself becoming irritable and easily frustrated. I didn’t have peace. I carried guilt around on a silver platter all day long, refusing to deal with it, while knowing in my heart, that I needed to.

How easy it is for us to ignore the root of our problems. We’d rather carry our guilt around than figure out what to do about it. We’d rather handle life on our own terms than take it to Jesus, the One who can actually give us the help we need to work through our troubles.

Do circumstances in your life keep you from making a priority of connecting to the one’s that you love? Have you ever felt like you were being loved from a distance, but not from having a deep connection to that person?

This made me think about how God might feel concerning us. How many of us say we love God, yet we fail every day to engage with Him, to talk to Him? He’s provided for us to know Him through the Scriptures, through Jesus, and through His creation. Sometimes I think it is easier for people to connect with God through creation than to try and connect with His personhood—who He is and who He wants to be to us. More often than not, we put every other person or thing before Him. And He waits…

God understands the distance we feel from family and friends from time to time because He has experienced the times that we have been distant from Him. He wants to have a relationship with us and sometimes we act like we don’t feel the same about Him. Our actions and priorities get all mangled up.

‘Man’ and mangled. Isn’t that an amazing coincidence. The the first 3 letters of the word mangled are MAN.

Man always gets in the way of connecting with God because we are mangled up in our own lives and in our own turmoil and we think we can solve all of our own problems without His help. How mangled is that kind of thinking?

Jesus is here, He is with us, and He waits, more than patiently, for us to come to Him—to bring all of ourselves to Him, so He can love on us and minister to us and meet the needs He knows we have.

Prayer:

Father, help us not to be blinded by our circumstances. Help use the free will you gave us to chose to come to You and to remember that when we don’t, we are the reason that we don’t feel connected to You. You are always there waiting for us.

Help us to have a hunger and thirst for You and Your righteousness in our lives so that we will experience Your goodness, mercy and grace during our times of need. May we chose to submit to You so that our path doesn’t become mangled by our need to do life our own way. Amen

Scriptures:

“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.” Isaiah 30:18

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.” Psalm 37:5

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.” Psalm 34:17

Just God

June 18, 2026

Scripture: Luke Chapter 16

Focus Verse: 10 – “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.”

Focus Verses 19-31, the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

A beggar names Lazarus was laid outside a rich man’s house hoping for some crumbs to fall from the rich man’s table. He had wounds in his skin and dogs came to lick his sores, but he died.

Verse 22 – “So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom.”

The rich man had no mercy on the beggar, even in his abundance, he denied Lazarus food, help, kindness and compassion. Then he also died and was buried.

Verse 23 – “And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.”

The rich man wanted some relief from his torment and he spoke to Abraham asking for mercy and wanting water to cool his tongue.

Verse 25, 26 – “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’”

Pondering this, verse 10 comes to mind. The rich man who had much was not faithful with it. He was unjust in the way he treated the beggar. And his punishment came upon him in his death.

Isn’t it interesting that both the rich man and the beggar died, but for both, the outcome of their death was quite different? Angels came and carried Lazarus to Abraham’s bosom. Where was Abraham? He was in heaven with God. Where was the rich man? He was in Hades being tormented by the fires of hell.

The rich man called out for mercy when he was in Hades, but his behavior and life choices had consequences in death. As Abraham told him, there was a fixed gulf between them that no one on either side could pass through. This rich man would be separated from God’s goodness for eternity. The poor man was shown the grace and mercy of a just God and when he died, he received God’s gift of eternal life.

Like the rich man, we too have received our ‘good things’ in life. We get choose the outcome of our death by what we do with our lives in the time that we are given. We can choose the mercy and grace of a kind, generous, just God, or we can choose to go our own way living life apart from Him. There is a future point in time when it will be too late to choose God and His ways.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:21- “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven.”

He also says in Luke 13: 24,25 – “And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from.’”

I often hear the question, ‘Why would a good God, send someone to Hell?’ The answer is He never would. We do that to ourselves. God gave us free will to decide whether or not to believe in Him and enter into a relationship with Him through His Son. He knew that love demanded would not be sincere. He wants us to choose to love Him and to believe that His Son is the Christ who was sent to make us righteous before Him.

“For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,” I Thessalonians 5:9

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

“Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior; There is none besides Me.” Isaiah 45:21

God loves us, He sees our hearts. He knows what is in us. He can see if we are for Him or if we’ve rejected Him. Why should He, who is just, let us into His eternal Kingdom if we have never chosen to believe that He is who He said He is, and to love Him back?

“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” Revelation 3:8

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:12,13

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20

Father God,

You are a just God! You are the only God and Jesus is Your only Son. He says in Revelation 1:18, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

We do not deserve the grace that You’ve made available to us in Jesus. We have all acted unjustly and done things we regret. None of us is worthy and we ask You to forgive us.

Please help us to choose Your way over our own way that one day when we close our eyes on this earth, we will immediately see the door open so that we may enter into your heavenly kingdom where there is no more death—where we will be alive with You forevermore.

May we act justly, unlike the rich man, and have humble hearts to acknowledge that all the good things we’ve been given have come from You. Help us to use our gifts to love You and other’s in such a way that You will will be glorified, that many will be saved by Jesus, and that all will be blessed.

Thank You for forgiving our sins and for making our hearts new. Help us to choose to walk, talk and live with You each and every day of our lives.

It is in Jesus name we pray.

Amen

Just Persons

June 17, 2026

Scripture: Luke chapter 15 (Scriptures listed are NKJV)

Focus: verse 7: “I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.”

Standing out like a billboard are the words “just persons.” So many people think that because they are basically good people, they have good morals, they go to church, they don’t intentionally set out to harm others, and they endeavor to practice the golden rule (do unto others as you’d have done unto you); but, because of these beliefs about themselves, they don’t think they need to repent for their sins.

We can convince ourselves of anything so long as we don’t *think* we are bad people. The question is, are we living by our own view or God’s view of what it is to be just?

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:17

“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:10

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,” Ephesians 2:8

“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26

It can be pride that keeps us from thinking we need repentance. God calls pride an “abomination” and scripture says He “resists the proud.”

“Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”1 Peter 5:5

“Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.” Proverbs 16:5

“The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.” Psalms 10:4

“I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.” Isaiah 13:11

It is not our goodness that gets us into the Kingdom of God. It is our faith and we only get faith through repentance from sin and by believing that God sent His son Jesus into the world to save us from sin. When we invite Jesus to come and live in our hearts, He forgives us our sins…past, present and future. Jesus is the One who makes us “just persons” in God’s eyes.

Lord Jesus — please do not let us deceive ourselves into thinking that we are “just persons” because we believe ourselves to be good people who have good values. Help us to see who we are in the light of who You are. Our goodness pales in comparison to your perfection. It is sin that separates us from You unless we choose to change our minds and to invite You to come and live within us. You paid the price of our sins when You took them upon Yourself on the cross and crucified them with You as You shed Your blood for us all.

Please help us to understand the significance of what You did so that we can be made “just persons” when we open up our hearts to receive You as our Lord and Savior. — Amen

A Christmas Letter to all Whispers from God Friends – December 2020

“The Virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means God with us.”) Matthew 1:23

I usually start off my annual Christmas letter with the words, “Merry Christmas.” This year has not been easy and for many of us the word “merry” doesn’t seem to resonate. The words, pandemic, COVID19 and social distancing are words that sound like nails on a chalkboard to me. I wonder if they do for you as well. But for me, even beyond all of that, 2020 has not been a good year.

On May 28th, I lost the love of my life, my husband, best friend, and partner of 26 years. The one who made all the above more bearable because we were together, we had each other. Eric was killed on the job as he was driving through Virginia in the middle of the night, in the rain, on a very dark highway. Another tractor trailer at some point ahead of him had hit the guardrail and jackknifed across the road. There were no visible lights and by the time Eric was able to see him, he did not have enough time to slow his tractor, pulling two trailers behind, to avoid crashing. Thankfully, he was able to warn his co-driver, who was asleep in the bunk, to brace himself and I believe saved his life, even as he lost his own instantly.

As the pastor said at his memorial service, “Eric met Jesus in Roanoke, Texas and he came face-to-face with him in Roanoke, Virginia.” I believe that with all of my heart.

There is nothing that prepares you for a shock like this. I have come to learn that grief knows only one way. You must go through it, you can’t go around it, there’s no avoiding it and it is hard.

Here is the truth, the one truth that keeps me going now: Immanuel – God with us. God is with me, God is with you. He helps us when we embrace Him, and He has been faithful to me in this very tough time.

If you’re not feeling merry this year, it’s OK because of Immanuel, God with us. You can still have hope for better days, for better years. Just keep your eyes on the Only One who has it all in His Mighty Hands and will carry you through as you place your trust in Him. That is most certainly what I am trying to do.

In His love…Nancy

FYI

A note to all of my Whispers from God blog friends…

On May 28th, I received the tragic news that my husband was killed in a very bad accident near Roanoke Virginia. Interestingly enough, we live in Roanoke Texas. He was a long haul team driver for UPS and on his route for the week. As you can imagine, his loss has devastated me and I am going through a rough time right now.

I wanted to reach out to you because though I don’t know the ways this blog has touched you or blessed you, and that’s OK because that is between you and our Father, but I will be taking a little break from writing for awhile. I love sharing the things that God has spoken to my heart with you, for His words are a blessing of love, comfort and encouragement always. I also know that in this time, He will continue to speak his whispers to me because I love Him and I need to hear from him. I’m sure that he will do some awesome things through this tragedy and that in the future, he will give some of them for me to share with you all.

If you are so moved by His amazing Spirit, I would ask for your prayers. I think it’s the only way that I will get through this. My husband loved me. He was God’s gift to me. He was God in the flesh with his big bear hugs and his tender kisses. He was my full partner in this life and our life together has been the best part of living in this world. I was richly loved and blessed by God through him.

Please know that I will be back to share what God shares with me and in the meantime, listen for His voice as he wants to speak directly to you too.

God bless each of you and may His face shine upon you and may you feel his peace in very tangible ways.

With love in Jesus, our beautiful Savior,

Nancy Larson

a Whisper…bitter or better

jonathan-pielmayer-rgDsYC7rLno-unsplash Those who put their trust in me will be blessed. I am God, your Father and your deliverer. I do not abandon my holy ones. Though your life is but a breath, your soul and spirit will live with me forever.

The devil prowls around seeking someone to devour. He will find those whose hearts are bitter toward me – those who because of their circumstances have refused to look to me for comfort; instead, looking for a place to put their blame. My Spirit is saddened for all who reject the comfort I want to give. My heart breaks when people embrace anger and let unforgiveness control them. I feel pain when they blame me for their troubles, especially when they have no relationship with me to begin with. Without my love and forgiveness, hearts grow cold and this paves the way for the souls enemy to thrive. Yet, I continue to extend my hand of love to all.

You have experienced rejection. You know what it is like to have love given become love thrown back in your face. And while I have endured the same, I do not stop loving or trying to reach those who reject me. All things are possible for me. All things are possible for you when you embrace my spirit within you. You have the power to become bitter or better, so keep loving and trying to reach those who seem to have rejected you.

Honor me by giving thank offerings, serving others, showing compassion, and forgiving those who have hurt or disappointed you. This destroys bitterness. Be wise and avoid being judgmental, for in the same measure you judge, you will be judged. Instead be merciful, compassionate, patient and prayerful. Be an extension of my hands and feet to the world around you. This makes you better.

Live what you believe, love from the love that I have abundantly poured into your heart and give as I lead you to give. I shine the light of my love on you so that you in turn may shine light upon others. As you are faithful, I will be faithful to bless all you do for me.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. Jeremiah 17:7
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Hebrews 12:15
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:36
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3: 12-14

a Whisper…keeping watching

nasa-Q1p7bh3SHj8-unsplash

“My eyes are ever watching the world you live in. I am not oblivious to the evil plots in the hearts of some men. So many things are concealed, but nothing is concealed that I am not able to reveal. Do not let your heart be troubled by those things that you cannot fully comprehend. I am the one who sees and knows all of it. It should bring you great comfort to know that despite what is going on around you, I am still God. You may know this truth with confidence.

Do not engage in battles of will and wit. There will always be someone who thinks they are smarter than you; but, no one is my equal. You belong to me. I am your Father and you are my precious, deeply loved, child. Rest in me.

My Spirit is in you making it possible for you to have peace in times of testing and turmoil. Growth and maturity in faith will come as you exercise faith where there seems to be no understanding. In other words, you can choose to either trust your flesh and its feelings, or trust your Father’s plan. What I desire to do is more important than whatever else you are focusing on.

Believing that my eyes are watching over the world,

your eyes should be continually focused upon me. I am your hope. It is in the stillness of your heart that the peace of my Holy Spirit will keep you steady until the time of my deliverance.”

The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. Proverbs 15:3
From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on the earth – he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. Psalm 33: 13-15
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Psalm 37:7
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3
The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in times of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him. Psalm 37: 39-40

a Whisper…live in freedom

kameron-kincade-5bt7iV4G-OE-unsplash

A look back…

“Where my Spirit is, there is freedom. You have not been given a spirit of fear, but one of love, power, and a sound mind. The opposite of freedom is bondage. You can choose to live in bondage to your fears, to your circumstances, to pressure from others, or to whatever it is that you are dealing with. But, I came to give you life and to give it abundantly. Choose to live in freedom, the freedom I have made available to all of you who call me Father.

As you solidify your you position in Christ through faith, you will gain confidence in my word. You will be established in the peace that it provides and you will grow in grace and knowledge.

Your life means so much to me that I allowed my son to die for you, so that you would know what it is to really live. The cross is the way you get to the abundance I have in store for you. Take up your cross and guard your heart so that you do not allow yourself to be drowned in a sea of worry. Worry is the opposite of faith, don’t allow it to stifle my Spirit at work in you.

Feed your mind with the knowledge that comes from my word. Hide it in your heart so that when fear tries to derail you, you can confidently stand on your faith, and on the promises I give you. As my child, you may have full confidence that I am with you no matter what.

I guard and protect your life. You may live in peace because the peace I give you nullifies the effects of fear and worry. As you believe, you will receive all that you need for every situation so that you can truly live in freedom.”

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Galatians 5:13
I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments. Psalms 119:45
May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 1:2
I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. Galatians 2:21
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. Matthew 16:24
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23
How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. Psalms 36: 7 – 9

a Whisper…blessing of peace

“I know the struggles you have and I understand all of your questions. It is OK for you to come to me and to express yourself. My shoulders are broad enough to handle what ever it is you need to bring to me. I just want you to come. Release the burdens of your mind and heart to me in prayer, so that I can begin to minister to you. I want to soothe your spirit and lead you to a place of peace. What seems impossible for you is possible for me.

The blessing of peace is not something that you can manufacture for yourself any more than you can deliver yourself from the world and all of it’s woes. But I can provide it when you come to me, when you need it. Just as I have power to heal the world, I can heal you.

Healing is not just for those who are physically ill. Many times the kind of healing that is needed in your life is spiritual. It is a touch from me that renews your mind. A touch that restores your heart and allows my Spirit to work inside of you. It is a transaction that awakens your spirit and emotional senses to me. The only thing you can do to receive it, is to want it enough to ask for it, and be willing to let go of personal control so that you may receive it.

Until the condition of your heart is right, you will be influenced by the conditions of the world around you. The questions you have may remain unanswered. By surrendering to me, by acknowledging that you do not have the answers and that you need my help, answers will surely follow. Let go of your burdens, allow me to minister to you and give you the blessing of peace.”

Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Luke 18:27
“See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand. Deuteronomy 32:39
The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
