The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not be in want

'...I am with you and will save you,' declares the Lord.
'Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only with justice;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.'

This is what the Lord says:

'Your wound is incurable,
your injury beyond healing.
There is no one to plead your cause,
no remedy for your sore,
no healing for you.

All your allies have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy would
and punished you as would the cruel,
because your guilt is so great
and your sins so many.

Why do you cry out over your wound,
your pain that has no cure?
Because of your great guilt and many sins
I have done these things to you.

But all who devour you will be devoured;
all your enemies will go into exile.
Those who plunder you will be plundered;
all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
But I will restore you to health
and heal your wounds,'
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 30:11-17a
.................................................................................................................
When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
I was senseless and ignorant,
I was a brute beast before you.

Yet I am always with you;
You hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
And afterward you will take me into glory.

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:21-26
.................................................................................................................
"...For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:11-14a
.................................................................................................................
Though you have made me see troubles,
many and bitter,
you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.
Psalm 71:20-21

Heal me O Lord, and I will be healed;
save me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.
Jeremiah 17:14
.................................................................................................................
All beautiful you are, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.
Song of Songs 4:7

"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, ...

... Again you will take up your tambourines
and go out to dance with the joyful."
Jeremiah 31:3b-4
.................................................................................................................
Teach me your way, O Lord,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
Psalm 86:11

My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress and I will never be shaken.
Psalm 62:1-2
.................................................................................................................
Take heart, Szehui. And have faith :)
