He Comforts Us

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her that her
hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from
the LORD's hand double for all her sins.

Isaiah 40:1,2 NIV

Though the LORD be high,

but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
thou wilt revive me:
thou shalt stretch forth thine hand
against the wrath of mine enemies,
and thy right hand shall save me.

Psalm 138:6,7 KJV

I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

John 16:32,33 RSV

Teach me to follow your laws

Teach me your decrees, O Lord;
I will keep them to the end.

Give me understanding and
I will obey your instructions;
I will put them into practice with all my heart.

Make me walk along the path of your commands,
for that is where my happiness is found.

Give me an eagerness for your laws
rather than a love for money!

Turn my eyes from worthless things,
and give me life through your word.

Reassure me of your promise,
made to those who fear you.

Help me abandon my shameful ways;
for your regulations are good.

I long to obey your commandments!
Renew my life with your goodness.

Psalm 119:33-40 NLT
