Helping Those Who Hurt

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, …

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.

So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak. …

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
