Bible Verse ABCs

A friend of mine is making a photo book with Bible verses using each letter of the alphabet for her toddler.  She asked if I had any suggestions for verses, and the "challenge" got stuck in my head and I couldn't quit until I'd come up with some.  Here's a quick list.  Does anyone have good ones to add?  I'm thinking of making a notebook of mine, and as my kids learn new memory verses, letting them make a page of their verse and putting it behind the appropriate letter's divider.  I think it would be neat to have a visual reminder of how many verses we've studied together.  Here's a starter list...add some in the comments and I'll add them to the list. :)  If you want the word document of these, let me know!
