John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have troubles. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
--Jesus--
Matthew 10:27
"What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops."
Philippians 4:7
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Haha, one of my all-time favorites right here. Great verse.
2 Corinthians 5:13a
"If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God."
Telling others about Christ:
2 Corinthians 5:11,14-21
11
Since then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade me.
14
For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
15
And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
16
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
18
All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
19
that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: be reconciled to God.
21
God made Him who had no sin to be a sin offering for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
The Bible:
"It does not give us answers fitted through our smaller-minded questions, but truth beyond what we even know to ask."
---Rich Mullins---
"Humility is the acknowledgement of our need for God."
---Pastor Russ Eggert---
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and The God of all comfortwho comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any troubles with the comfort we ourselves have received of God.For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Philippians 3:7-10
"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ."
"What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things."
"I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ --- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith."
"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death."
Genesis 4:7b
"Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."
Five of my all-time favorites right here. . .
"What then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? " Romans 8:31
"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." Romans 8:26
". . .I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have belived, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day." 2 Timothy 1:12
"In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37
". . . because God has said
"Never will I leave you; Never will I forsake you." Hebrew 13:5b
"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." Philemon 1:6

Which Star Wars Jedi/Sith are you?
Qui-Gon Jin
You are the original mentor and the original one who screwed over the galaxy by finding Anakin. Don’t worry, no one’s really holding it against you. You are very monk-like in your demeanor, calm and sure of yourself, but not arrogant. Looking at Obi-wan, you must have been a great master, and you were the one who discovered the secret to immortality. You have to be proud of yourself, but you are probably to humble to do so.
