Philippians 4 and all of Romans

 

[El Torito]

In the Old Testament, I am always drawn to Psalm 139. In the New Testament, read Mark 10:13. Its just that simple.

I like a little humor in my religion, so I would recommend 2 Kings 2:23-24:

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

[S.A.Diva]

Psalm 37 with special emphasis on the following:

7 Stay quiet before Yahweh, wait longingly for him, do not get heated over someone who is making a fortune, succeeding by devious means.
8 Refrain from anger, leave rage aside, do not get heated -- it can do no good;
9 for evil-doers will be annihilated, while those who hope in Yahweh shall have the land for their own.
10 A little while and the wicked will be no more, however well you search for the place, the wicked will not be there;

 

[OldHippie]

That which acts on all and meddles in none is heaven . . .
The righteous man realizes this, hides it in his heart,
Grow's boundless, wide-minded, draws all to himself.
And so he lets the gold lie hidden in the mountain.
Leaves the pearl lying in the deep.
Goods and possessions are no gain in his eyes.
He stays far from wealth and honor.
Long life is no ground for joy, nor early death for sorrow.
Success is not for him to be proud of, failure is no shame.
Had he all the world's power he would not hold it as his own.
If he conquered everything he would not take it to himself.
His glory is in knowing that all things come together in One.
And life and death are equal.
