PROVERB

The Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked, but those of the pure are pleasing to Him. Proverbs 15:26

PROMISE

Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. Isaiah 55:7.

PRAISE

I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me! Psalm 66:17-20.
