I think at some point in our lives, there will be times when we will all feel a little lost and helpless. Sometimes it is difficult to see past the hardship you're going through and to look at the bigger picture. For me, I find comfort in my faith. Here are some of my favorite Bible verses that give me comfort in times of need, and I hope that you can find comfort in them, too.
When you feel like giving up
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11
When you are going through a break up
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
AND
Jesus replied, "You do not know what I am doing, but someday you will.- John 13:7
When you lose a loved one
For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. - Romans 14:8
When you are feeling worried or anxious
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? - Luke 12:25
When you need strength and courage
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. - Isaiah 43:2
When you can’t see the greater plan
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs. 3:5-6
I keep these bible verses close to me to remind me that I can overcome anything; failures, heartbreak, loss, and even when I need a little reassurance and strength.
Faith is not believing that God can, It's believing that God Will.
