Psalm 55:22 (NIV) Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
John 16:33 (CEB) I've said these things to you so that you will have peace in me. In the world you have distress. But be encouraged! I have conquered the world."

2 Corinthians 1:5 (NKJV) For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
Every night my 6-year-old, Julie, and I thank God for one thing about the day. One evening Julie was breaking out in chicken pox, I had the flu, and my husband was out of town. As I tucked Julie into bed, she said, "Mommy, I can't think of anything to thank God for today. It was a horrible day." We thought for a while more and she finally said, "I know. We can thank him that the day is over." So we did. "Thank you, Lord, for the gift of life. No matter how difficult it is, we take comfort knowing you are there to help us make it through horrible days."—Pamela Curry, San Rafael, CA, Today's Christian Woman, "Heart to Heart."
