Finding Hope in God’s Word

It’s been a season of many trials, but God has blessed me in so many ways. Particularly through godly friends who have become prayer partners and encouragers.

I’m anticipating a stressful day tomorrow, and a friend sent me several encouraging Bible verses. I hope these verses bring comfort and peace to you too ❤

Unless the Lord had given me help,
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me,
    your consolation brought me joy.

Psalm 94: 17-19 (NIV)

My salvation and my honor depend on God;
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, you people;
    pour out your hearts to him,
    for God is our refuge.

Psalm 62:7-8 (NIV)

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:10 (NIV)

God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
    and the mountains quake with their surging.

Psalm 46:1-3 (NIV)

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

Isaiah 41:10, 13 (NIV)

I’d encourage you to save these verses (or create your own compilation) that remind you of God’s character. He’s trustworthy, all-powerful, and loves us more than we can comprehend. His plan is best for us, even when it’s difficult to see in the middle of the storm.

Perhaps you have a friend who is going through a hard time. Sending a Bible verse, worship song, and a heartfelt message could be God’s way of strengthening them through you.

May you experience God’s peace and strength in all you face today. And tomorrow, too 😉
