  30. The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, "The LORD is my Lamentations 3:19-25 (NLT)

  39. get up again and keep going… For our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever! So we don't look at the troubles we 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, 17-18 (NLT)
