Encouragement in Isaiah

Today, I think I found a piece of the encouragement that I was looking for. Not the whole answer, but simply encouragement.
I saw some verses from Isaiah on a friend's facebook status, and opened my Bible to look up the passage. As I opened to Isaiah, I turned to Isaiah 38. It tells the story of Hezekiah, the king of Judah at the time, who fell extremely ill, and was going to die. He cried out to God, and the Lord heard him. He saved Hezekiah from his illness, and added many years to his life. I thought it was incredible that this was the story that I opened to, and encouraging because I have never read this before.
Following that story, I read many other verses that filled me with peace. I really think that the Lord gave me these verses, knowing that I so desperately needed peace and encouragement.

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding no one can fathom. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:28-31)

"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)

"And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know; in paths that they have not known, I will guide them. I will turn darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them." (Isaiah 42:16)

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name and you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." (Isaiah 43:1-3)

"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Isaiah 43:18-19)

"In repentance and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." (Isaiah 30:15)

Despite the fact that none of these are my words, I felt that I needed to post them. They have greatly encouraged me, and so hopefully they can encourage others too. The Lord is at work, even in the darkest of times.
