Psalm 126:5-6
King James Version
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
I so dearly need strength, from the LORD.
Grief is a hard cross to bear, but I must keep going.
As born again, a Bible believer, and a follower of JESUS, I must derive peace from His WORD.
And here's where the LORD's SPIRIT led me to -- verses that fill that wide gap in my heart.
This is for you who need strength, healing, and courage.
That you may be able to bear your own cross, too.

with so great a cloud of witnesses,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,

such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
