Lamentations 3:54-57
The water rose and covered my head. I thought I was going to die.Lord, I called out to you. I called out from the bottom of the pit.I prayed,“ Please don’t close your ears to my cry for help.” And you heard my appeal.You came near when I called out to you. You said,“ Do not be afraid.”

2 Timothy 4 16-2 Timothy 4 17
The first time I was put on trial, no one came to help me. Everyone deserted me. I hope they will be forgiven for it.The Lord stood at my side. He gave me the strength to preach the whole message. Then all the Gentiles heard it. I was saved from the lion’s mouth.

John 18:25-27
Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself by the fire. So they asked him,“ You aren’t one of Jesus’ disciples too, are you?” He said,“ I am not.”One of the high priest’s slaves was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off. He said to Peter,“ Didn’t I see you with Jesus in the garden?”Again Peter said no. At that exact moment a rooster began to crow.

Jonah 2:2-7
He said,“ When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord. And he answered me. When I was deep in the place of the dead, I called out for help. And you listened to my cry.You threw me deep into the Mediterranean Sea. I was deep down in its waters. They were all around me. All your rolling waves were sweeping over me.I said,‘ I have been driven away from you. But I will look again toward your holy temple in Jerusalem.’I had almost drowned in the waves. The deep waters were all around me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.I sank down to the bottom of the mountains. I thought I had died and gone down into the grave forever. But you are the Lord my God. You brought my life up from the very edge of the pit of death.“ When my life was nearly over, I remembered you, Lord. My prayer rose up to you. It reached you in your holy temple in heaven.

Then the men arrested Jesus and led him away. They took him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed from far away.Some people there started a fire in the middle of the courtyard. Then they sat down together. Peter sat down with them.A female servant saw him sitting there in the firelight. She looked closely at him. Then she said,“ This man was with Jesus.”But Peter said he had not been with him.“ Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.A little later someone else saw Peter.“ You also are one of them,” he said.“ No,” Peter replied.“ I’m not!”About an hour later, another person spoke up.“ This fellow must have been with Jesus,” he said.“ He is from Galilee.”Peter replied,“ Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.The Lord turned and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had spoken to him.“ The rooster will crow today,” Jesus had said.“ Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.”

Peter was below in the courtyard. One of the high priest’s female servants came by.When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.“ You also were with Jesus, that Nazarene,” she said.But Peter said he had not been with him.“ I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,” he said. He went out to the entrance to the courtyard.The servant saw him there. She said again to those standing around,“ This fellow is one of them.”Again he said he was not. After a little while, those standing nearby said to Peter,“ You must be one of them. You are from Galilee.”Then Peter began to curse. He said to them,“ I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”Right away the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had spoken to him.“ The rooster will crow twice,” he had said.“ Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Peter broke down and cried.

2 Corinthians 12 7-2 Corinthians 12 10
God has shown me amazing and wonderful things. People should not think more of me because of it. So I wouldn’t become proud of myself, I was given a problem. This problem caused pain in my body. It is a messenger from Satan to make me suffer.Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me.But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

Peter was sitting out in the courtyard.

There another servant saw him. She said to the people,“ This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”Again he said he was not. With a curse he said,“ I don’t know the man!”After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter.“ You must be one of them,” they said.“ The way you talk gives you away.”Then Peter began to curse and said to them,“ I don’t know the man!” Right away a rooster crowed.Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said.“ The rooster will crow,” Jesus had told him.“ Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Peter went outside. He broke down and cried.

Psalms 107:27-30
They were unsteady like people who have become drunk. They didn’t know what to do.Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And he brought them out of their troubles.He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.The people were glad when the ocean became calm. Then he guided them to the harbor they were looking for.
