PHILIPPIANS 4.6-7Scripture that inspires
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the centre of your life. (from ‘The Message’)

2 TIMOTHY 2.22-25Scripture that inspires
“...chase after justice, faith, love and peace; you’ll be in the company of all who call on the Lord from a pure heart.... And the Lord’s servant mustn’t be a fighter, but must be gentle to all people, able to teach, able to bear evil without resentment, able to correct opponents with a meek spirit...” (from ‘The Message’)

they form one body.1Corinthians 12.12 (NIV)
