Reconciling with God after a bout of loving discipline sometimes seems like the hardest hill to climb.

But it's not all that difficult if we just pay attention to what He's told us about Christ. 

The Bible says that Jesus always prays for us, but sometimes it's hard to tell if that's really true.

Maybe it would help if we could just see it with our own two eyes. 

It's hard to believe that a prophecy about widespread death & destruction; one which predicts the total annihilation of kingdoms and empires by God's burning wrath; it's hard to believe that words like those would be "good and comforting" to anybody.
I guess it all depends on who you talk to.
