heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of
great kindness, and repenteth Him of the evil.

Who knoweth if He will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind
Him..."

We may
weep over sins that have tripped us up, or we may weep over tragedies
that come our way.
In the
one case, our Lord encourages our weeping, and in the other, he
encourages us and takes our weeping and sorrow away..

God
Will Take Care Of You
Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.
Chorus:
God will take care of you,
Through every day, o’er all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.
Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.
All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.
No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon His breast,
God will take care of you.
