When You are down, what Bible verse do you read ?

[eric]

1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Welcme to worthy boards. Sarah. I hope you make many friends here.

The verse you quoted although might not be my favourite, I would say it's the one I use the most when I'm having my quiet time with the Father, when myself or my family are struggling with worldly problems.

enjoy your stay with WB,

eric.

Micah 7:8

[FaithfulFollower]

Awesome, but also interesting post.

Truthfully, though it may sound strange whenever a bad time comes my way and the good word is to simply read from wherever the good lord may take me.

The last time the hubby and myself had a spat over something small, the two of us decided to go for a walk and with the bible in hand God brought me to a verse that not only pointed out that I was wrong, but also that my faith needs to be further put in Him.

Amen?

With Love In Christ,

Psalm 25 is where I seem to be drawn to in times of sadness.

"Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." ( 2 Corinthians 12:10 KJV )

[Guest Thomas I believe]

"Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."  ( 2 Corinthians 12:10 KJV )

Zeph 3:17

"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, He will save, He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over you with singing."

Psalms 30:5

"...weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning."

Psalm 126:5

"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goes forth and weeps bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing in his sheaves with him."

2Corinthians 4:8-9,17-18

"We are troubled on every side, BUT not distressed, we are perplexed BUT not in despair, persecuted BUT not forsaken; cast down BUT not destroyed....for our light afflection, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

Psalms 91:14-16

"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me and I will answer him; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation."

Hard to pick just one. I usually either turn to these to read or the Holy Spirit brings them to my mind and I am encouraged as I look them up to study further and sit in the Father's presence.
