1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? 3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, 4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall. 5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. 6 I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me. (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭13‬‬:‭1-6‬ NIV)

“Blessed be  the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies  and the God of all comfort.  He comforts us in all our affliction,  so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as the sufferings  of Christ  overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.  If we are afflicted,  it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.  And our hope  for you is firm, because we know that as you share  in the sufferings, so you will also share in the comfort.” (‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭7 CSB‬‬)

“The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭18‬ ‭CSB‬‬)

“He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; he gives names to all of them. Our Lord is great, vast in power; his understanding is infinite. The Lord helps the oppressed but brings the wicked to the ground.” (Psalms‬ ‭147‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭CSB‬‬)

on this episode we’re discussing:

• ​constant remembrance of who God is

• ​if i never heard another person’s testimony, my faith wouldn’t waiver because he’s already shown me who he is

“So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.” (Hebrews‬ ‭6:18-19‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

“For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.” (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:33‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.” (John‬ ‭15:4-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬)
