So encourage each other and give each other strength, just as you are doing now. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort.He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
Since we have a great high priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has gone into heaven, let us hold on to the faith we have. For our high priest is able to understand our weaknesses. He was tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin. Let us, then, feel very sure that we can come before God’s throne where there is grace. There we can receive mercy and grace to help us when we need it. (Hebrews 4:14-16)
