These are some of the bible verses that have comfort
me in time of needs and given me guidance in the way I should go. It has
defiantly helped me in more ways then one. I hope these can help you too.
Comfort
John 14:1-3
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust
in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not
so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me
that you also may be where I am.
Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There
will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of
things has passed away."
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and
your staff,
they comfort me.
Worry
Matthew 6:25-34
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about
your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than
they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field
grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all
his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the
grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry,
saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that
you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to
God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Psalm 46
"God is our refuge and strength,
an
ever-present help in trouble.
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."
Jeremiah
29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,
says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future
and a hope."
Guidance
Romans 12:1-2
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view
of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to
God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the
pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then
you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing
and perfect will."
Psalm 32:8-10
"I will instruct you and teach you in the
way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you."
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no
understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will
not come to you.
Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing
love
surrounds the man who trusts in him."
Philippians 4:4-7
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it
again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not
be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus."
Proverb 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Illness/Pain
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
"But he said to me, "My grace is
sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I
will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may
rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in
insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak,
then I am strong."
Mark 4:37-41
"A furious squall came up, and the waves
broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern,
sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't
you care if we drown?"
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be
still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his
disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" They
were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the
waves obey him!"
Psalm 103:1-4
Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost
being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not
all his benefits- who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and
compassion.
New Life
Romans 10:9-11
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus
is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you
will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,
and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture
says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
Ephesians 2:4-9
But because of his great love for us, God, who
is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in
transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with
Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order
that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have
been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
- not by works, so that no one can boast.
Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that brings salvation has
appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and
worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this
present age, while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our
great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from
all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager
to do what is good.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with
Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved
me, and gave himself for me.
Prayer
Luke 11:1-13
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place.
When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to
pray, just as John taught his disciples.
"He said to them, "When you pray, say:
"
'Father, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
Give us each day
our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone
who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation."
Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes
to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a
friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before
him.'
"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already
locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you
anything.' I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because
he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness[e] he will get up and give
him as much as he needs.
"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks
receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a
snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then,
though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask
him!"
John 14:12-14
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me
will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these,
because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so
that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my
name, and I will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks
in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Jealousy
Luke 15:25-32
"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field.
When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of
the servants and asked him what was going on. 'Your brother has come,' he
replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back
safe and sound.'
"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father
went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, 'Look! All these
years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never
gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this
son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you
kill the fattened calf for him!'
"My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything
I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of
yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'
Galatians 5:19-26
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred,
discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and
envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that
those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there
is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature
with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step
with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
James 3:13-18
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him
show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast
about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from
heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and
selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
But
the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving,
considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
Failure
Hebrews 4:14-16
Therefore, since we have a great high priest
who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to
the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to
sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every
way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of
grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us
in our time of need.
Jude 1:24-25
To him who is able to keep you from falling and
to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy -
to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through
Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
Psalm
73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my
heart
and my portion forever.
I hope
these can help you find some guidance and love scriptures as much as I do.
