What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?—Mark 8:36 (NIV)
What shall I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done it. I walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.—Isaiah 38:15 (ESV)

Lord, when bitterness consumes me, I will call out to You, the only One who can fill me with Your grace.
