Shreadstruth

Life is hard. We go through struggles every single day. We are stressed. We are tired. We are depressed. We are in pain. We get betrayed by those we thought we loved. But the one person we can always trust, we can always love and count on, is Jesus. He is our strength when we are weak. He is our happiness when we are sad. He is the light in our darkness. He died for our sins and loves us over all else. Everything that happens in our lives happen for a reason because God has a plan for us. Our time here on Earth is short, but our time in Heaven is for eternity. We should trust in our God, for He is good and loves us. When you are feeling down, here are 30 bible verses that you can turn to, to be reminded of how great our God is:


1. James 1:2-4

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Do not conform 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.

10. 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.


11. Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
