Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be known to all men.

The Lord is at hand. ⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in all things let your requests be made known to God, in prayer and supplication with giving of thanks. ⁷ And may the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸ Furthermore, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honourable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things belong to love, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtuous thing, if there be any praiseworthy thing: these same have in your minds. ⁹ The things you have both learned and received, heard and also seen in me, those things do, and the God of peace will be with you.
