2. Sacrifice

Romans 3:25—Whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be reeived by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

3. Freedom

2 Corinthians 3:16—Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. This verse specifically reveals the freedom we have because of Christ’s sacrifice. Because of this

4. Comfort

Deuteronomy 31:8—It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

5. Trials

James 1:12—Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

6. Creator of Everything

Colossians 1:16—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.

8. Friends

Proverbs 18:24—A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

9. God’s Word

Hebrews 4:12—For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, or joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

10. Strength

Isaiah 40:29—He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

11. Prayers

Psalm 145:18—The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

12. I Cannot Be Separated From God

Romans 8:37-39—No, in all theses things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
