Isaiah 41:10…So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my right hand.

Romans 8:38-39…For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 34:18…The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 

Romans 8:26… The moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our condition, and keeps us present before God.

You are loved by and matter to God.

No crisis will last forever.

There is always hope, even if it’s hard to see.

Others can help, just ask.
