A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. 

Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water.’‘ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 

I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass. 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
