Psalm 34:17-18
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them
from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and
saves those who are crushed in spirit.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power
is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more
gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults,
in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak,
then I am strong.
1 Peter 4:7-8
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind
so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because
love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:12-13
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come
on you to test you, as though something strange were happening
to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of
Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father
of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all
our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the
comfort we ourselves receive from God.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting
away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light
and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that
far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is
unseen is eternal.
Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for
us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For
the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and
sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who
endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow
weary and lose heart.

Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting
God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or
weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength
to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths
grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those
who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on
wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk
and not be faint.
1 Peter 5:7-10
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and
of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring
lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the
faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the
world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all
grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have
suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong,
firm and steadfast.
Romans 5:3-18
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know
that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and
character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s
love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,

who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we
were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will
anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone
might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for
us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we
have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be
saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s
enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son,
how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through
his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord
Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death
through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all
sinned— To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given,
but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no
law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time
of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command,
as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come. But the gift is
not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one
man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by
the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor
can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin:
The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the
gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by

the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man,
how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision
of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the
one man, Jesus Christ! Consequently, just as one trespass resulted
in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in
justification and life for all people.
