Hello
@larryman210, first off,
WELCOME TO CF
I will pray that the Lord will see your girlfriend though this extremely important and stressful time in her life, and that He will help you know how to be even more of an encouragement and help to her than you already are.
I see that you are a Christian. Is she a Christian also? If so, some of these verses and quotes may prove to be helpful/comforting to her ..
Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 40:31, 41:10, 43:1-2; Jeremiah 29:11; Romans 8:28.
Also, here is a short video that may be encouraging to her as well. It's an excerpt from a sermon that was given a few years ago at Dallas Theological Seminary (by the pastor whose face and quote you see below in the graphic in my signature line) called
Trust God. (Pastor Swindoll's quote, the one below in my signature line, is something that she may want to consider and remember during these times too)
Finally, here are the Christian quotes I mentioned. Most are by missionary/author Elisabeth Elliot, the last two however are by theologian/pastor Charles Spurgeon (with a Scripture verse in between). Hopefully she will find one or more of these to be helpful and/or comforting as well
"Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you"
"The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances"
"Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering…. The love of God did not protect His own Son…. He will not necessarily protect us – not from anything it takes to make us like His Son."
"God is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will, a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to."
"You are loved with an everlasting love, that's what the Bible says, and underneath are the everlasting arms."
The Bible tells us that there was never a time in eternity past, even before we were born, when God did not love those of us who were to become His own children.......
Jeremiah 31
3 I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.
............nor will there ever be such a time, now, or forevermore
"Everlasting love shall be the pillow for my head this night." ~Charles Spurgeon
"I've learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages." ~Charles Spurgeon (Romans 8:28)
God bless you (and her)! (
Numbers 6:24-26)
--David
p.s. - please tell her not to despair, that the Lord is watching over her, and that we are praying for her, for her health and safety and peace, and that we are thankful for her, for all that she is doing to help, comfort and save the lives of the sick and dying, especially during this present crisis.
Lamentations 3
21 This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
22 The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Thy faithfulness.
24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”
1 Thessalonians 5
23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body
be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.
