Philippians 3:13-14

Philippians 3:13. “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Jesus Christ.”

Lamentations 3:37-42

Lamentations 3:37. “Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? 38. Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? 39. Why should the living complain when punished for their sins? 40. Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. 41. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say: 42. “We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.”
