heartache

¹⁸The just cried out, and the Lord heard them, and he freed them from all their tribulations. ¹⁹The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit. ²⁰Many are the afflictions of the just, but from them all the Lord will free them. ²¹The Lord preserves all of their bones, not one of them shall be broken.

⁷Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.

⁴And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”

²⁸And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.

³He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.

⁴And so shall you discover grace and good discipline, in the sight of God and men. ⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.

⁷The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

¹³No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.

¹³A rejoicing heart gladdens the face. But by the grief of the soul, the spirit is cast down. ¹⁴The heart of the wise seeks doctrine. And the mouth of the foolish feeds on ignorance.

¹If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal. ²And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing. ³And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing. ⁴Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. ⁵Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. ⁶Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.

¹³Temptation should not take hold of you, except what is human. For God is faithful, and he will not permit you to be tempted beyond your ability. Instead, he will effect his Providence, even during temptation, so that you may be able to bear it.

⁷Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

¹²There is a way which seems just to a man, but its conclusion leads to death.
