I'm so tired of everyone(me included) being stressed out and down in the dumps lately! Even though there's a LOT going on in all of our lives, we still need to try our best to stay encouraged and remember that we all have a greater goal; To help others and to serve God as best we can.
How about we all leave a comment with a Bible verse that we feel can help us out some? I'll start right after I post this. Let's get upbeat again, ok? =]

1. Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
ReplyDelete2. Many are they who say of me, "There is no help for him in God."
3. But You, O Lord, are a shield for me. My glory and the One who lifts my head.
4. I cried to the Lord with my voice and He heard me from His holy hill.
5. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
6. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.
7. Arise, O Lord; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies of the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people.
PSALM 2:1-8 (it's such a great thing! Especially if you think of the people in the chapter being instead troubles in life. made me feel a little better, at least.)
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. -Psalm 9:9-10
ReplyDeleteCast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:7-10

God is our refuge and strength,

Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam and the
mountains quake with their surging.
(Psalm 46:1-3)
It is the Lord who goes before you.
He will be with you;
he will not fail you or forsake you.
Do not fear or be dismayed.
(Deuteronomy 31:8)
