Psalm 112:7 

He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

NLT:  They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.

1 Corinthians 13:11 

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.  When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

NLT:  When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child.  But when I grew up, I put away childish things.

Psalm 139:23-24 (NASB)

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

NLT:  Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
