We have all seen the lists
that are often titled “what to do when” or “Bible verses for special
times”. In what I do these things come
up very often. That is why I am taking
some time to share some of my favorites with you today.
The following is not an
exhaustive list of Bible verses to use in all cases. These are verses that I have found myself
clinging to when I am struggling with various things or verses that I share
with people when they are going through specific tough times.
As you read through these I
pray that God will use some of them in your life and even allow you and me to
share them with the people we come in contact with that have something going on
in their life that God has encouragement for.
Read on, pray through and
seek God …
When you feel like you are carrying heavy burdens
Matthew 11:28 NLT
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of
you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.
When you are
stressed or worried
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God
what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which
exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus.
When you have doubts
and need faith
Trust in the
Lord with all your heart; do not
depend on your own understanding. Seek
his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
When we don’t think
we are forgiven
Ephesians 1:7 NLT
He is so rich in kindness and grace
that he purchased our freedom
with the blood of his Son and forgave
our sins.
When we need strength
Isaiah 40:29 NLT
He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
When we need wisdom
James 1:5 NLT
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will
not rebuke you for asking.
When we question if
God can
Romans 4:21 NLT
He was fully convinced that God is able to do
whatever he promises.
That is just a few verses that can give us direction when we need
it. God desires to use us to encourage
others, but if we are not encouraged, it is hard to speak in to the lives of
others.
May God give us courage and strength today to hear from Him for us and
to share with others!
Joshua 1:7 NLT
Be strong and very courageous. Be
careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them,
turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.
