Grief

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, And give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.

For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

“Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”

Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.”’

Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
