Seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness

It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young.

Let him sit alone in silence,
for the LORD has laid it on him.
Let him bury his face in the dust--
there may yet be hope.
For men are not cast off by the Lord forever.

Lamentations 3:26-29, 31 NIV

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:10-12 KJV

Luke 6:22,23 RSV
