My latest favorite verses are Ephesians 3:14-21:
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith- that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."I try to repeat these words to myself everyday to remind me that the biggest thing I need to focus on is being grounded in love and filled with the fullness of God. If I stay strong in my faith then nothing else will seem important to me because I'll know that God is the only One who needs to be in control!!!
