Psalm 90:12,14,17 So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart. 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 17 Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the work of our hands—O prosper the work of our hands!
Isaiah 58:6, 9-11 Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? 9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, 10 if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday. 11 The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.
Philemon 15-16, 18 Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for ever, 16 no longer as a slave but as more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 18 If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.
