Sadness - Christian e-cards

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You will endure;
Yes, they will all grow old like a garment;
Like a cloak You will change them,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will have no end.

God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us,
Selah.

The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies.

Casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.

As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.

But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary
,They shall walk and not faint.

The LORD lift up His countenance
upon you, And give you peace.

The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;

The LORD bless you
and keep you;

Come to Me,
all you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.

But You have seen,
for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.

And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in You.

For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Remember that Jesus Christ,
of the seed of David,
was raised from the dead.

Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.
I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien to my mother’s children;

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God.

I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.

Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
I am He who lives, and was dead,
and behold, I am alive forevermore.
Amen.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness,
though we have rebelled against Him.
