God Cares

For Your Afflictions

• “As one, whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”—Isaiah 66:13
• Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.— Psalm 103:13

For Your Protections

• As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.—Ezekiel 34:12

For Your Affections

• “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!—Matthew 23:37
