Isaiah 41

1 Keep silence before Me, O coastlands, Keep silence before Me, O coastlands, And let the people renew their strength! Let them come near, then let them speak; Let us come near together for judgment. 2 Who raised up one from the east? Who in righteousness called him to His feet? Who gave the nations before him, And made him rule over kings? Who gave them as the dust to his sword, As driven stubble to his bow? 3 Who pursued them, and passed safely By the way that he had not gone with his feet? 4 Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? I, the Lord, am the first; And with the last I am He. 5 The coastlands saw it and feared, The ends of the earth were afraid; They drew near and came. 6 Everyone helped his neighbor, And said to his brother, Be of good courage! 7 So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith; He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil, Saying, It is ready for the soldering; Then he fastened it with pegs, That it might not totter. 8 But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. 9  You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. 11 Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. 12 You shall seek them and not find them Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing. 13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, Fear not, I will help you. 14 Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you, says the Lord And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 15 Behold, I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth; You shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, And make the hills like chaff. 16 You shall winnow them, the wind shall carry them away, And the whirlwind shall scatter them; You shall rejoice in the Lord, And glory in the Holy One of Israel. 17 The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water. 19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, The myrtle and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine And the box tree together, 20 That they may see and know, And consider and understand together, That the hand of the Lord has done this, And the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Romans 8:24-25

For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

Psalm 71

1 O LORD, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced.2 Save me and rescue me,
for you do what is right.
Turn your ear to listen to me,
and set me free.3 Be my rock of safety
where I can always hide.
Give the order to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,
from the clutches of cruel oppressors.5 O Lord, you alone are my hope.
I’ve trusted you, O LORD, from childhood.6 Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.
No wonder I am always praising you!7 My life is an example to many,
because you have been my strength and protection.8 That is why I can never stop praising you;
I declare your glory all day long.9 And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside.
Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing.10 For my enemies are whispering against me.
They are plotting together to kill me.11 They say, “God has abandoned him.
Let’s go and get him,
for no one will help him now.”12 O God, don’t stay away.
My God, please hurry to help me.13 Bring disgrace and destruction on my accusers.
Humiliate and shame those who want to harm me.14 But I will keep on hoping for your help;
I will praise you more and more.15 I will tell everyone about your righteousness.
All day long I will proclaim your saving power,
though I am not skilled with words.t16 I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign LORD.
I will tell everyone that you alone are just.17 O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood,
and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do.18 Now that I am old and gray,
do not abandon me, O God.
Let me proclaim your power to this new generation,
your mighty miracles to all who come after me.19 Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens.
You have done such wonderful things.
Who can compare with you, O God?20 You have allowed me to suffer much hardship,
but you will restore me to life again
and lift me up from the depths of the earth.21 You will restore me to even greater honor
and comfort me once again.22 Then I will praise you with music on the harp,
because you are faithful to your promises, O my God.
I will sing praises to you with a lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.23 I will shout for joy and sing your praises,
for you have ransomed me.24 I will tell about your righteous deeds
all day long,
for everyone who tried to hurt me
has been shamed and humiliated.

On days like this, I wonder what can be done to feel better. Random, nonsensical thoughts are just running through my head.
