became a man, I put childish
ways behind me. (1 Corinthians
13:11)

righteousness, so that the man
of God may be thoroughly
equipped for every good work. (2

For
the word of God is living and
active. Sharper than any
double-edged sword, it

attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews

So
I strive always to keep my
conscience clear before God and
man. (Acts 24:16)

Create
in me a pure heart, 0 God, and
renew a steadfast spirit in me.
(Psalm 51:10)

who live in accordance with the
Spirit have their minds set on
what the Spirit desires. (Romans

will keep in perfect peace him
whose mind is steadfast, because

me, 0 LORD, and try me, examine
my heart and my mind; for your
love is ever before me, and I
walk continually in your truth.

you know me, 0 LORD; you see me
and test my thoughts about you.

mouth speaks.

extremes. (Ecclesiastes 7:18)

the words of my mouth and the
meditation of my heart be
pleasing in your sight, O LORD,

at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to
you. (Psalm 116:7)
