Getting older, while fun, is very challenging. Each day brings new situations and new choices that may or may not affect you later on in life. Whenever I am having a rough time dealing with change, day to day life, or specific problems turning to scripture always helps me remember that it will all work out in the end exactly how it's supposed to. Here are 7 of my favorite verses to get me through the bad days:
1. 1 Peter 4:8 NIV
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
2. 1 Peter 5:7 NIV
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
3. Philippians 4:6 NIV
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. "
4. Proverbs 31:25 NIV
"She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come."
5. 2 Peter 1:5-7 NIV
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love."
6. Psalm 46:5 NIV
"God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day."
7. Psalm 27:14 NIV
"Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord."
