35. Lamentations 3:31-62
“For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.  To crush underfoot all prisoners in the land, to deny people their rights before the Most High, to deprive them of justice would not the Lord see such things?  Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? Why should the living complain when punished for their sins? Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say: We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven. You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you have slain without pity. You have covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through. You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.  All our enemies have opened their mouths wide against us.  We have suffered terror and pitfalls, ruin and destruction.  Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.  My eyes will flow unceasingly, without relief,  until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees. What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.  Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird.  They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me; the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to perish. I called on your name, LORD, from the depths of the pit. You heard my plea: Do not close your ears to my cry for relief. You came near when I called you, and you said, Do not fear. You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life. LORD, you have seen the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause! You have seen the depth of their vengeance, all their plots against me. LORD, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me  what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.”

36. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-- A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.”

37. Nahum 1:7
“The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble, And He knows those who take refuge in Him.”

38. Zephaniah 3:17
"The LORD your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

The Lord has a number of promises that covers multitudes of fears, troubles and anxiety. Whenever you are discourages just go on to the Word of God and everything will be alright.
