Encouragement for the Weary

Psalms 42:5-6

"Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil
within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise
him,
my salvation and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and Hermon
from Mount Mizar."

The Beatitudes

"And he opened his mouth and taught
them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they
shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
for righteousness' sake, for theirs in the kingdom
of heaven.
Blessed are you when other revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:2-12

My friends, my prayers are for you! I love you all exceedingly as my sisters and brothers in Christ and want to encourage you!
