These are verses that while I've been reading, have spoken and stood out to me. I've found comfort and strength and love in the pages of God's word. God gave us His word to help us understand Him and who He is. It's there to strengthen us and to encourage. It's there to help us point others towards Him. I'm so glad God gave us His word. I know that God's word was not always a priority in my life, and it's unfortunate that it takes trials in this life to realize that we can't get through life without it. It's so important that before trials come, to be committed to reading and understanding the word of God.
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. ~Romans 15:4~
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. ~Psalm 130:5~
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had it's foundation on the rock. ~Matthew 7:24~
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgements, and his path beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them? For from him and through him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen ~Romans 11:33-36~
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. ~Psalm 143:10~
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ~Matthew 6:33-34~
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness; and the darkness has not overcome it. ~John 1:4-5~
We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. ~1 John 5:19-20~
In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
~1 John 5:3-5~
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said "why did you doubt?"
~Matthew 14:30-31~
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ~Romans 15:13~

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; ~Psalm 37:7a~
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ~Romans 12:12~
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. ~John 1:12-13~
Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you. ~Psalm 84:12~
