Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:4-6
In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul refuses to be comforted.
Psalm 77:2
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
Lord, I come to you giving thanks today that you help me fight the good fight. I do not walk alone through my grief or sorrow, but you walk with me. I am victorious in all of the battles of this life because I have you, my loving Father. You are my shield and my protector, and I am victorious over all of life’s challenges because I have you. Amen.
Praise: Praise god, from whom all my blessings and my healing come. He takes away my grief and replaces it with hope.
