These are great! Saving this for future reference!
A verse that makes me feel better is Jeremiah 29;11 because it gives me hope and I know for a fact that he has a plan for my future. When things get tough I usually lean on God he is my strength and friend and the only true friend I can rely on for solid Godly advice and wisdom. When I look outside and see Gods beautiful creation it gives me hope and joy and peace. I like to think if I just have faith as a mustard seed I can say to this mountain move and it will in Jesus name. I think that God is bigger than all my problems and it truly shifts my way of thinking. God conquered death so if he can do that, make the blind see, get water from a rock, part the sea he can handle my little problems and that gives me hope!
That verse got me through so much!
