Morning:
As thy days, so shall thy strength be.
When they shall lead you, and deliver you up, be not
anxious beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye
premeditate: but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that
speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. Be
not anxious for to morrow: for to morrow will be anxious for the
things of itself. Sufficient to the day is its own evil.
The God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power to
his people. Blessed be God. He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made
perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory
in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong. I can do all things
through Christ who strengtheneth me. O my soul, thou hast
trodden down strength.

Evening:
Awake, O north wind; and . . . blow upon my garden,
that its spices may flow out.
No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but
grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit
of righteousness to them who are exercised by it. The
fruit of the Spirit.
He stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD
pitieth them that fear him.
Though our outward man is wasted, yet the inward man is
renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for
a moment, worketh out for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen.
Though Jesus was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the
things which he suffered. In all points tempted as we are,
yet without sin.
