The Lord is my shepherd; I shall
not want. He makes me lie down in
green pastures. He leads me beside
still waters. He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for you are
with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. You prepare a
table before me in the presence of
my enemies; you anoint my head
with oil; my cup overflows. ...
(Psalm 23:1-6)
ESV
When the righteous cry for help,
the Lord hears and delivers them
out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to the
brokenhearted and saves the
crushed in spirit. Many are the
afflictions of the righteous, but
the Lord delivers him out of them
all. He keeps all his bones; not
one of them is broken.
(Psalm 34:17-20)

And we know that for those who
love God all things work together
for good, for those who are called
according to his purpose.

all joy and peace in believing, so
that by the power of the Holy
Spirit you may abound in hope.

that is not common to man. God is
faithful, and he will not let you
be tempted beyond your ability,

that you may be able to endure it.
(1 Corinthians 10:13)

We are afflicted in every way, but
not crushed; perplexed, but not
driven to despair; persecuted, but
not forsaken; struck down, but not
destroyed;
(2 Corinthians 4:8,9)
ESV
But he said to me, “My grace is
sufficient for you, for my power
is made perfect in weakness.”

more gladly of my weaknesses, so
that the power of Christ may rest
upon me.

And my God will supply every need
of yours according to his riches
in glory in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:19)
ESV
For we do not have a high priest
who is unable to sympathize with
our weaknesses, but one who in
every respect has been tempted as
we are, yet without sin. Let us
then with confidence draw near to
the throne of grace, that we may
receive mercy and find grace to
help in time of need.
(Hebrews 4:15,16)

Submit yourselves therefore to
God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you.

Casting all your anxieties on him,
because he cares for you.

their eyes, and death shall be no
more, neither shall there be
mourning, nor crying, nor pain
anymore, for the former things
have passed away.
