Patient in tribulation.

“It is the Lord. Let him do what seems good to him.”—“Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him; I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.”—“The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”—“Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”

Jesus wept.—A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. . . . Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.

“The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” . . . For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.—May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy.—“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
