“The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your needs in parched places and make your bones strong, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail. Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.”
– Isaiah 58:11-13
“Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice. Be restored; encourage one another; agree with one another; live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”
– 2 Corinthians 13:11
