Life is full of stress and challenges. They come in many forms but if you are reading this, I'm guessing that there is something in your life that is difficult from a human perspective. Over the past year there have been certain scripture passages that have been encouragement to my soul. The Bible is the best place to turn when you are feeling down and I just want to leave you with a few of my favorite passages. Take comfort in God's promises! If you have any favorite verses of comfort, please leave them in the comment section.
Psalm 4:7-8 You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Habakkuk 3:17-19 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
Hebrews 5: 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.
Matthew 11: 28-30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
