When life gets hectic, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. Luckily, there is a book that has every possible solution for this: the Bible. God’s word is there to provide comfort and reassurance for you in every situation. These verses will remind you that you’re not alone and offer advice in your times of trouble.
When You’re Worried Or Stressed
“I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.” – Psalm 34:4-6 NLT
God doesn’t want you to feel worried or stressed. He wants you to come to Him with your troubles so that He can help you, just like your earthly father would do. Turning to the Lord will not only give you peace of mind, but also provide you with guidance and comfort.
When You Feel Pressured
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” – Romans 12:2 NLT
In our world, we’re put under a lot of pressure to look and act a certain way. This verse is a reminder not to fall into society’s trap, but to follow God’s will. Being yourself is much more rewarding and gratifying than trying to become someone else.
When You Feel Defeated
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.” – Romans 5:3-4 NLT
It’s difficult to be positive when you’re going through hard times, but this reminds us that there is good to be found in every situation. Even if your troubles make life difficult now, they are strengthening you and will help you in the future.
When You’re Mad At Someone
“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you.” – John 15:12 NLT
As humans, we repeatedly let God down by sinning, yet He continues to forgive and love us unconditionally. This verse reminds you to treat others in the same way. Love others despite the fact that they will inevitably wrong you.
When You Need To Feel Inspired
“You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” – Matthew 5:14-16 NLT
God has given you what you need to be a light in this world. You have the ability to be a model of the Lord’s grace and glory. Use this gift and act as a disciple of the Lord!
When You’re Feeling Lost
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart… Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
Trust that God has a great plan for your life. He loves you more than you can understand and, therefore, wants you to succeed. Ask Him to show you His will and strive to follow Him, and He will guide you through both the good times and the bad.
When You Need Confidence
“Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!” – Hebrews 10:35 NLT
The key to being confident in yourself is being confident in the Lord. You must trust that He will not let you fall, but will strengthen you and lead you to accomplish great things.
Even the simplest of verses come with deep power and meaning. Remember that God’s word is always with you and there to help you.
