Psalms 1:1-3
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,nor stands in the way of sinners,nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that [...]

My heart stopped cold on that fateful day,

Psalms 69:3
I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.

Mark 9:36
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
