Scriptures to Comfort Weary Pilgrims...

May these inspired words of the Scriptures breath strength, hope, and charity into the souls who are suffering along the Narrow Way of Yeshua Ha’ Mashiyach (Jesus, the Christ):

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?  Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?  O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.  I am feeble and sore broken:  I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.  Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.  I am poured out like water; my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.  My heart panteth, my strength faileth me:  as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.  My tears have been my meat day and night.  My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.  Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.  And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.  Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness.  I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.  Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears.  As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.  O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.  I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.  I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.  I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.  Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.  But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.  I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.  Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.  Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.  Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.  Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly.  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thy right hand shall save me.  The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:  thy mercy, O LORD, endureth forever:  forsake not the works of thine own hands.  O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.  Thou compasseth my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.  Whither shall I go from thy spirit?  Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?  If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:  if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.  Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day:  the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.  Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward:  they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:  if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.  I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name forever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name forever and ever.  I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.  While I live will I praise the LORD:  I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.  The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind:  the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down:  the LORD loveth the righteous.  The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.  The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants:  and none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate.  The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.  Even so, in Yeshua Ha' Mashiyach's name (Jesus the Christ's name) Amen.
