This group came up with so many ways to fight for grace, I separated out the verses and songs to a second blog. I know this will be a post that I’ll return to for these encouraging words of God’s grace. Thank you for contributing these ideas!

Scripture:

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ. Philippians 3:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

But now, this is what the Lord says — he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:1-3

"Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." Psalm 46:10

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. Psalm 40:1-3

Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved. Romans 10:13

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekial 36:26

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:1

The joy of the LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Psalm 103:1

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26

For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. Isaiah 44:3

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 43:5

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. –The Serenity prayer
