The sovereign LORD has given me the capacity to be his spokesman, so that I know how to help the weary. He wakes me up every morning; he makes me alert so I can listen attentively as disciples do.

A person has joy in giving an appropriate answer, and a word at the right time– how good it is!

For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not to make you sad, but to let you know the love that I have especially for you.But if anyone has caused sadness, he has not saddened me alone, but to some extent( not to exaggerate) he has saddened all of you as well.This punishment on such an individual by the majority is enough for him,so that now instead you should rather forgive and comfort him. This will keep him from being overwhelmed by excessive grief to the point of despair.

The LORD then addressed good, comforting words to the angelic messenger who was speaking to me.

A person’s spirit sustains him through sickness– but who can bear a crushed spirit?

I am dazed and completely humiliated; all day long I walk around mourning.

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

The heart knows its own bitterness, and with its joy no one else can share.

All the days of the afflicted are bad, but one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast.

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skillfully spoken.

Then in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought to me, I took the wine and gave it to the king. Previously I had not been depressed in the king’s presence.So the king said to me,“ Why do you appear to be depressed when you aren’t sick? What can this be other than sadness of heart?” This made me very fearful.

He took Peter, James, and John with him, and became very troubled and distressed.He said to them,“ My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay alert.”
