These are a few suggestions of phrases to meditate on:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.  Mark 12:30

Love your neighbor as yourself   Mark 12:31

I and the Father are one.    John 10:30

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus.            Apostle Paul – Philippians 4:6-7

Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, your are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.                  Psalm 139:7-10

Son, thou art ever with me and all that I have is thine.    Luke 15:31

My kingdom is not of this world.  John 18:36

“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. After a little while the world will behold Me no more; but you will behold Me; because I live, you shall live also. In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose Myself to him” (John 14:18-21).

One with God becomes a majority.
