Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
