James 4:7-10
So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you.Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you double- minded.Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter into mourning and your joy into despair.Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

Isaiah 55:6-7

Job 22:21-30
“ Reconcile yourself with God, and be at peace with him; in this way your prosperity will be good.Accept instruction from his mouth and store up his words in your heart.If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; if you remove wicked behavior far from your tent,and throw your gold in the dust– your gold of Ophir among the rocks in the ravines–then the Almighty himself will be your gold, and the choicest silver for you.Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face toward God.You will pray to him and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him.Whatever you decide on a matter, it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.When people are brought low and you say‘ Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast;he will deliver even someone who is not innocent, who will escape through the cleanness of your hands.”
