Week 44: Friday Discipleship

  • 2 Corinthians 1:3-7

    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

  • Psalm 145:14-21

    The Lord upholds all who are falling
        and raises up all who are bowed down.
    The eyes of all look to you,
        and you give them their food in due season.
    You open your hand;
        you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
    The Lord is righteous in all his ways
        and kind in all his works.
    The Lord is near to all who call on him,
        to all who call on him in truth.
    He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
        he also hears their cry and saves them.
    The Lord preserves all who love him,
        but all the wicked he will destroy.

    My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
        and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

  • Psalm 34:17
    “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.”
