*1.* “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” *2.* “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Your sun shall no more go down, or your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended.” *3.* “Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” *4.* “O sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.”
