¹ Vindicate me, O God, 
       and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; 
       rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.

 ² You are God my stronghold. 
       Why have you rejected me? 
       Why must I go about mourning, 
       oppressed by the enemy?

 ³ Send forth your light and your truth, 
       let them guide me; 
       let them bring me to your holy mountain, 
       to the place where you dwell.

 ⁴ Then will I go to the altar of God, 
       to God, my joy and my delight. 
       I will praise you with the harp, 
       O God, my God.

 ⁵ Why are you downcast, O my soul? 
       Why so disturbed within me? 
       Put your hope in God, 
       for I will yet praise him, 
       my Savior and my God.

-Psalm 43

²⁸“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

-Matthew 11:28-30

Note: It seems like a lot of people are burdened or downcast by current circumstances in life (midterms/papers, job search, physically ill, loss of family members, break ups, financial situations, etc.). Reading these verses always gives me hope or just a fresh breath of God-given life. I hope these verses will provide all of us the strength to persevere in our personal storms. God is good =) All the time =)
