Zechariah 10:12

I will make them strong in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, says the Lord.

In this chapter, the Prophet expresses his conviction it is God who controls both history and nature, and will gather the redeemed, even though, at present, they wander like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus looked at the people of his time and saw them in the same way. God is compassionate, and the ultimate sign of that compassion is Christ. God's people will "pass through the sea of distress."

That's good news.
