son comforting father who is sad

 Psalm 40:1-3 NLT

1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. 3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.

Psalm 42:5, 8 NLT

5 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again my Savior and 6 my God! 8 But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.

John 16:33 NLT

33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

2 corinthians 3-4 nlt

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
