Godly Sorry...

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. ~ 2 Corinthians 7:10 (NIV)

According to HIS Word

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. ~ Psalm 119:28 (NIV)

Strength from HIS Word

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. ~ Psalm 119:28 (NIV)

He Shows Compassion

For no one is abandoned
    by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion
    because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
33 For he does not enjoy hurting people
    or causing them sorrow. 

~ Lamentations 3:31-33 (NLT)

Godly Sorrow Brings Repentance

For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death]. ~ 2 Corinthians 7:10 (AMPC)

He's Close to the Brokenhearted

17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.

18 The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent.

19 Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

~Psalm 34:17-19 (AMPC)

Keep Watch

34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”

35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. ~ Mark 14:34-35 (NIV)

Reaffirm Your Love

5 If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you to some extent—not to put it too severely. 6 The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient. 7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:5-8 (NIV)

Watch and Pray

32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.” ~ Mark 14:32-35 (NIV 1984)

Are You Weary?

My soul melts away for sorrow; strengthen me according to your word! ~ Psalm 119:28 (ESV)

Repentance Leaves No Regret

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. ~ 2 Corinthians 7:10 (NIV 1984)

Joy comes in the Morning

For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. ~ Psalm 30:5 (ESV)

HE Was Bruised

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. ~ Isaiah 53:4-5 (KJV)

His Strength

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. ~ 1 Chronicles 16:11 (NIV 1984)

Call and He Will Answer

In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. ~ Psalm 120:1 (ESV)

God had mercy...

Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

~ Philippians 2:27
