From the Bible
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 19:1
Drawing straws is one way to settle a difficult case. Proverbs 18:18 (CEV) (other translations replace "drawing straws" with "casting lots" or even "casting dice"
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16–19
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16
The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faith. Galatians 5:22 (HCSB)
Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2
With God, all things are possible. Matthew 19:26b
