Psalm 44:17–19
All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant. / Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path. / But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
Romans 8:35–37
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? / As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” / No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
1 Thessalonians 3:3
so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.
