Despair
"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down,
but not destroyed."
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though
our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by
day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight
of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are
seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
"Make sure that your character is free from
the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself
has said, 'I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,' so that
we confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will
man do to me.'"
Hebrews 13:5-6
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden,
and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for
I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-29
"For His anger is but for a moment, His favor
is for a lifetime; weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy
comes in the morning."

I called, and to the Lord I made supplication: What profit is there in
my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare
Your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be my helper.
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, that my soul may sing
praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever."
Psalm 30:8-12
"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever
is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy
of praise, dwell on these things."

"For if you return to the LORD, your brothers
and your sons will find compassion before those who led them
captive and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and
compassionate, and will not turn
His face away from you if you return to Him."
2 Chronicles 30:9
"He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens
are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear
Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions
from us."
Psalm 103:10-12
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil."

due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because
the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the
afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty
to captives and freedom to
prisoners."

"He gives strength to the weary, and to him
who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired,

gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will
run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."
Isaiah 40:29-31

wounds."
