Morning:

Where shall wisdom be found?

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to
all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given
him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that
wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and
tossed.--Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not
unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.--The only wise God.--Be not wise
in thine own eyes.

Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child. But
the LORD said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt
go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee
thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with
thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give

[it] you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye
shall receive, that your joy may be full.--All things,
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Evening:

I would not live alway.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would
I fly away, and be at rest. . . . I would hasten my escape from
the windy storm [and] tempest.

In this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with

our house which is from heaven. . . . For we that are in [this]
tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be
unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed
up of life.--Having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ;
which is far better.

Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who
for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of
God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
