Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all

ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ."

trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear
fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV)
"Oh, the depth of the
riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who

has ever given to God, that God should repay him?” For
from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory
forever! Amen. (Romans 11:33-36 NIV)
"For my thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.

LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." (Job
