SORROWS, GRIEFS, CARES AND FEARS
Mt 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
6:25 Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall
eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on.
Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much
better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
28 And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
30 Why, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to
morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of
little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly
Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added to you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.
10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not
be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light: and what you hear
in the ear, that preach you on the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall
on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear you not therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.
13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word;
and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word,
and he becomes unfruitful.
26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to
be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then said he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death:
tarry you here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O
my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as
I will, but as you will.
Lu 6:24 But woe to you that are rich! for you have received your
consolation.
25 Woe to you that are full! for you shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now!
for you shall mourn and weep.
21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draws near.
21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so
that day come on you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the
whole earth.
Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe
also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives,
give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
16:20 Truly, truly, I say to you, That you shall weep and lament, but the
world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be
turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but
as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish,
for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your
heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.
16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In
the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.
Acts 27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I
am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, see, God
has given you all them that sail with you.
25 Why, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as
it was told me.
34 Why I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there
shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Rom 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also
bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers, my
kinsmen according to the flesh:
1 Cor 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much
trembling.
7:32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried cares
for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
2 Cor 6:10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich;
as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you:
I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were
troubled on every side; without were fights, within were fears.
6 Nevertheless God, that comforts those that are cast down, comforted us by
the coming of Titus;
7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did
repent: for I perceive that the same letter has made you sorry, though it
were but for a season.
9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed to
repentance: for you were made sorry after a godly manner, that you might
receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but
the sorrow of the world works death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that you sorrowed after a godly sort,
what carefulness it worked in you, yes, what clearing of yourselves, yes,
what indignation, yes, what fear, yes, what vehement desire, yes, what zeal,
yes, what revenge! In all things you have approved yourselves to be clear in
this matter.
Php 2:25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my
brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and
he that ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that you
had heard that he had been sick.
27 For indeed he was sick near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not
on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow on sorrow.
28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when you see him again,
you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1 Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brothers,
concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which
have no hope.
Heb 12:10 For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own
pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to
them which are exercised thereby.
13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such
things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what
man shall do to me.
Jas 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your
hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
1 Pe 1:6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if
need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet
believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may
exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you.
1 Joh 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear:
because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be
any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
1 Sam 1:9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after
they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat on a seat by a post of the temple of
the LORD.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept sore.
13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice
was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
14 And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunken? put away your wine
from you.
15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful
spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my
soul before the LORD.
16 Count not your handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the
abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken till now.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant you
your petition that you have asked of him.
18 And she said, Let your handmaid find grace in your sight. So the woman
went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
Neh 8:9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the
scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people, This
day is holy to the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people
wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and
send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy to
our LORD: neither be you sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Job 7:11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the
anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Ps 13:1 How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will
you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
30:11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my
sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O
LORD my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
31:9 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with
grief, yes, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength
fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me?
hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember you
from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterspouts: all your waves and
your billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the LORD will command his loving kindness in the day time, and in the
night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me; while they say daily
to me, Where is your God?
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me?
hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.
55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he shall sustain you: he shall never
suffer the righteous to be moved.
94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my
soul.
119:28 My soul melts for heaviness: strengthen you me according to your word.
Pr 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good
word makes it glad.
14:10 The heart knows his own bitterness; and a stranger does not
intermeddle with his joy.
14:13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is
heaviness.
25:20 As he that takes away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar on
nitre, so is he that singes songs to an heavy heart.
Ec 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a
time to dance;
7:2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of
feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his
heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the
heart is made better.
Isa 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but you have in
love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for you have cast
all my sins behind your back.
Jer 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men
and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort
them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
