Scripture to pray with
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”
