I've compiled a list of 10 verses I wanted to share with others who are struggling to know God better.
1. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
This has always been one of my favorites. It reminds me to trust in God's plan and His perfect timing.
2. Romans 8:31 "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
We need to remember that God is on our side.
3. Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
This is so important. I am a person who is big on forgiveness because God forgives us every single day. We should be able to forgive other imperfect humans.
4. Luke 6:31 "And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them."
Everyone knows the golden rule, but I think a lot of people take it too lightly. God is serious when he says to treat others as you want to be treated.
5. Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice."
Ah yes. Rejoicing. We must remember to thank God for all that he has done for us. Praise him for his gracious works.
6. Romans 12:12 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
I like this verse because it is so truthful. If you do these things your life will get so much better.
7. Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
I suffer from anxiety, so this is a good reminder that God is protecting me at all times. He gives us strength and the amour of his love to shield us.
8. Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Everyone experiences brokenness at different points in their lives. If we turn to God, healing will come.
9. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, a I will give you rest."
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with school that I just need to sit and rest in God. He will restore your energy and motivation.
10. 1 Chronicles 16:34 "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"
The Lord is SO good. Take a look at your life and make a list of all the good things God has given you because He loves you. His love will never end.
