- “Even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning.” - Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.Next verse!With image
