Morning

I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them.

A new heart . . . will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.--Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

I . . . beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, . . . endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.

Jer 32:39 Eze 36:26 Ps 25:8-10 Joh 17:21 Eph 4:1-6

Evening

They that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength.

When I am weak, then am I strong.--My God shall be my strength.--He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.--Let him take hold of my strength.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee.-- The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob.

I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.--Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
