This post will mean more to those of you who are
religious or identify with some sort of religion, but these passages have brought
me comfort so I figured I would share. Hopefully some of you will be able to
appreciate these the way I do and maybe even apply them to your own lives as
well.
Deuteronomy 31:8- The
LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor
forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Psalm 23:4- Even
though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with
me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Jeremiah 1:8- "Do not be
afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the
LORD.
Jeremiah
29:11- 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.
Romans
8:28- For those who love God and
are called in his plan, everything works out for the good.
1 Peter 5:6-7- Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that
he may life you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares
for you.
The second Jeremiah verse is my favorite of all
time, and the verse from Romans is from Father Flynn. I hope you can take from
these what I did: strength, hope and faith.
