Whether you are religious or not, the Bible is a good resource to fall back on when dealing with any situation. It is a wealth of knowledge that explains how to deal with any given situation-- a true treasure to anyone who chooses to read it, skim it, or live by it. People always say that your bible should be tattered, written in, worn out, as though it has been through battle because that shows that you are using it, and it is going through life with you. Although the Bible can be used for guidance during any situation, most turn to their faith during difficult times. This is where the Bible can change our perspective on a situation and make anyone feel as though they are not alone. Here are five bible quotes for those rough times in life

1. "The pain that you've been feeling cannot compare to the joy that's coming." - Romans 8:18

2. "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." - 2 Corinthians 12:9

3. "He rescues those whose spirits are crushed" - Psalm 34:18

4. "She is clothes in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future." - Proverbs 31:25

5. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13

I purposefully did not explain these verses or their background because they are for the reader to interpret. Each story and idea is meant for you to apply personally to your life. When times are tough and it seems as though there is no light at the end of the tunnel, take a deep breath, reflect and maybe even dust off your bible....
