2 Corinthians 7:10–11 (NLT)

10For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. 

11Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.

2.  TRUST THAT WHILE WE CONTINUALLY HE’LL CONTINUALLY . 

: Anything that brings separation from God 

2 Corinthians 1:3 (ESV)

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)

28Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 

29Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 

30For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

3.  LET OUR MOURNING US.

1.  Remove  

Isaiah 57:14 (ESV)

14And it shall be said, “Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people’s way.”

2.  Get in word. 

Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)

12For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

3.  Pray for a heart.

Psalm 51:17 (ESV)

17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

4.  Seek for our sin. 

James 4:8–10 (ESV)

8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 

9Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 

10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Matthew 5:4 (ESV)

4“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
