Isaiah 30:18-21 Nevertheless, the Lord is waiting to be merciful to you, and will rise up to show you compassion. The Lord is a God of justice; happy are all who wait for him. People in Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. God will certainly be merciful to you.
Hearing the sound of your outcry, God will answer you. Though the Lord gives you the bread of distress and the water of oppression, your teacher will no longer hide, but you will see your teacher. If you stray to the right or the left, you will hear a word that comes from behind you: “This is the way; walk in it.”
John 14:25-29 “...I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you. The Companion, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I give to you not as the world gives.
Don't be troubled or afraid. You have heard me tell you, 'I am going away and returning to you.' If you loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than me. I have told you before it happens so that when it happens you will believe...”
Hebrews 4:14-16 Also, let's hold on to the confession since we have a great high priest who passed through the heavens, who is Jesus, God's Son; because we don't have a high priest who can't sympathize with our weaknesses but instead one who was tempted in every way that we are, except without sin.
Finally, let's draw near to the throne of favor with confidence so that we can receive mercy and find grace when we need help.
Psalm 66:8-12 All you nations, bless our God! Let the sound of his praise be heard! God preserved us among the living; he didn't let our feet slip a bit. But you, God have tested us—you've refined us like silver, trapped us in a net, laid burdens on our backs, let other people run right over our heads—we've been through fire and water. But you brought us out to freedom!
