Brokenheart

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

We fight with weapons that are different from those the world uses. Our weapons have power from God that can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments and every proud thing that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ.

The Lord will save me when anyone tries to hurt me, and he will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Glory forever and ever be the Lord’s. Amen.

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well, the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him:

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor, He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, he rescues those whose spirits are crushed

The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart
