For #13, I picked one that is short and direct:
Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. Jonah 2:8 NIV.
It reminds me that as long as I whine and complain about things, I am putting the importance of that stuff before God and the work He would like to do. Maybe certain situations exist for the sole purpose of me getting to see His grace in action. If I stop coming up with my own idea of perfect and striving for that, God is free to offer His grace that is more than enough to cover anything.
