Old Testament Verse

Surely it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but you have held back my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
Isaiah 38:17

New Testament Verse

By this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
1 John 3:19-20

Prayer

Thank you, God, that although you never promised I wouldn't know suffering, you do promise to hear my prayers and console me. The enemy within condemns me, but you use all things to your glory. Quiet my inner critic. Entice my ears to listen to your precious promise of hope. Shine in my life to bring hope to others. Amen.
