Philippians 4:9:
KEEP putting into practice all you have learned and received from me - everything you heard me and saw me doing. THEN, the God of peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 - Berean Standard Bible
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. 10 That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.

2 Peter 1:1-11
Simon Peter, am a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. I write this to you whose experience with God is as life-changing as ours, all due to our God’s straight dealing and the intervention of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Grace and peace to you many times over as you deepen in your experience with God and Jesus, our Master. Don’t Put It Off. Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.
5-9 So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, ( the fruits of God’s spirit we have been looking at) spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can’t see what’s right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.10-11 So, friends, confirm God’s invitation to you, his choice of you. Don’t put it off; do it now. Do this, and you’ll have your life on a firm footing, the streets paved and the way wide open into the eternal kingdom of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 3:5-7,8: NLT
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 -Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 7- Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Verse 8 -Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.
Psalm 46:10 - Be still and know that I AM GOD
