John 16:33 (NKJV)

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

NLT:  “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.”

Psalm 42:5 (NASB)

Why are you in despair, O my soul?  And why have you become disturbed within me?  Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.

NLT:  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 my God!

John 16:22

“So with you:  Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”

NLT: “So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.”
