11 Bible Verses For Troubling Times
Favim

How many times does a day start out perfectly, and after one thing goes wrong, the whole day falls apart? Or how about whenever we have something on our mind for days and weeks, and it controls our thoughts? If it is big or small, each of us has good and bad days that are caused by something that has gotten us down. Whether you grew up in church, you’re a strong believer, or you’ve never entered a church, each of these verses can provide comfort to you when you’re struggling.

No matter what mood you're feeling, what you want, or what you didn't know you needed, there's a verse in here for you.

1. Broken-hearted

“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.” Psalm 73:26

This reminds of a song we used to sing at my high school's church camp while I was growing up.

2. Stressed

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:2-4

3. Needing Faith

“And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.” John 5:5

4. Needing Forgiveness

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15

5. Insecure

“And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8

6. Happiness

“Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4

7. Hope

“Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.” Psalm 3:2-6

8. Clarity

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18

9.Wisdom

“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” 1 Corinthians 1:25

10.Salvation

“When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:25-26

11.Protection

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” 2 Thessalonians 3:3

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
