sadness

¹⁹The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit.

¹“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.

²³Cast your cares upon the Lord, and he will nurture you. He will not allow the just to be tossed about forever.

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

¹¹For I know the thoughts that I think over you, says the Lord: thoughts of peace and not of affliction, so that I may give you patience and an end.

³The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my liberator. My God is my helper, and I hope in him: my protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my support.

¹³Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he even-tempered? Let him sing psalms.

⁷If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

¹⁰But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering.

¹⁸I will not leave you orphans. I will return to you.

⁴Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.

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.”

¹⁵For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation. ⁴He consoles us in all our tribulation, so that we too may be able to console those who are in any kind of distress, through the exhortation by which we also are being exhorted by God.

⁶For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness.
