>> Verses to Scan (NIV)
- Psalm 30:5b Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
- Lamentations 3:19-26, 31-32 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord . . . For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.
