Rest for Your Soul

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yes, even, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for You are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.

You  prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Revelation 3:20

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me." - Jesus Christ

The Lord's Prayer
Matthew 6: 9-15

After this manner therefore pray:

"Our Father which is in heaven, Holy, honored and beautiful is your name.

May your kingdom come. May your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen."

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if you forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 22:36-40

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Matthew 19: 16-19

And someone came and asked Jesus, "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

And Jesus said unto him,  Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments."

The man said to Jesus, "Which?" Jesus said, "You shall do no murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness."

"Honor your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself".

John 3:16-18

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Whoever believes in Jesus is not condemned: but he that does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

 John 14:6 

Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."

Matthew 5:3-9

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Matthew 11:28-30

Come unto me, all of you that labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take it upon yourself to learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 16:26

For what good is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? What could a man offer to buy back his soul once he had lost it?
