We all have seasons in life where we need a little bit of help. Here are a few verses from the Bible for those times, for times when you need something to make you feel understood.
When you can't help but feel stuck in the past...
Isaiah 43:18
God declares that he is doing a new thing: “Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already—you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there”
When you question your faith...
Isaiah 41:10
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.
When you simply can't shake the bad feelings...
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.”
When you see injustice and feel hopeless...
Ecclesiastes 3:16-17
Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.
When you question if you should act on your anger...
Proverbs 14:29
Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.
One thing to remember during this post-election period….
Matthew 5:44-45
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
