Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly equipped to perform every good work.

Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God (Yahweh), the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall; but those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

Psalms 126:5-6 Those who sow in tears will reap a harvest of joy; for though they may weep while going forth to plant their seed, if they persevere, they will undoubtedly return rejoicing—bringing their sheaves with them.

Isaiah 43:1-3 Now thus says Yahweh, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon you. For I am Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your stead’.

John 16:33 I have told you these things so that you would find comfort in Me. In this world, you will suffer; but be courageous, for I have overcome the world!

Revelation 14:12 Here is the perseverance of the saints: they keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to enable them to fulfill the purpose for which they are called.

Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw new heavens and a new earth, for the first ones had passed away; and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, that is, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And then I heard a great voice from heaven, which said, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them, and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither will there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away.

Blessed be the Lord in the highest. I have been very encouraged by the verse from Psalm 119:105, which said that His word is a lamp for my feet and light for my path. So whatever I am going through, He will guide me well and show me the way, even in the darkest hours, because He is the light.

Many times I thought God had forsaken me, and I used to believe He never answered my prays fast enough. There were days when I got so sad I just didn’t feel like going on. But after reading these verses, I can now put a smile on my face (something I have not done for a long time). I now realize that God will never forsake me nor leave me. He will do all things in His time, not mine.

I too love this verse in Psalms 27:13-14 that says, “I would have fainted, unless I had believed I would see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. Wait on Yahweh; be courageous, and He will strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on Yahweh.”

Thank you once more for these encouraging Bible verses; they give hope when someone is lost in thoughts.

For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’” Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel!I will help you,” says the LORD And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

I became a Christian last year on the 28th of May (2011).
Jesus has been with me all my life while i made decisions – some wrong, some right.. i was too stubborn to listen to him until last year when i found myself going to “regular church” for the first time. I am 40 years old.
On the night of my baptism, i took my soon-to-be wife to church for the first time. We were married in October. We are now struggling to build our life together.
Jesus has saved me!
Thank you Jesus.

I need prayers because am carring hurt and pain and are showing and reacting to other pple. all this is because of my boyfriend whom i loved veri much, He betrayed me and then he left. at sometimes i feel like i can commit suicide. i always pray but it seems my prayers are not answered.

Reply

78 Chris Esty July 19, 2012 at 1:11 pm

Mary, don’t give up. God can bring good out of your circumstances; for the Bible says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28 NKJV)

Notice how the verse I quoted says, “according to His purpose.” We have a tendency to make our own plans, while not taking time to make sure our thoughts agree with God’s purpose for us. Thus, we end up living in a whole lot of hurt, because we do the opposite of what God wants us to do with our lives.

Remember, God wants the best for you. Sometimes that means He won’t give you what you ask for; yet, He will always do that which will ultimately lead you to happiness. Of course, you won’t see this unless you trust Him.

Be faithful to God. Cast your cares on Him. In due time you will get answers; you will realize that God was always with you, guiding you to something better. God loves you. Continue to love Him by putting your trust in Him.

No matter how things appear, always remember this promise: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28 NKJV).

I found your website this morning as my daughter had texted asking for much prayer and support. She is struggling with finances and needs to feel that God hears and sees her needs and that he will answer. I sent her some of your encouraging scripture and I know that God hears her cries, feels her pain and will answer in his time, only he knows the future. My husband and I help her and her 3 beautiful children as much as we can but sometimes the devil plays with my head and I wonder if God hears my prayers. Please pray for her family. Thank you

I’m glad you found my website and hope that it will continue to be a blessing to you. Your daughter is blessed to have you as a mother. Keep reaching out to her. God hears your prayers. Answers don’t always come in ways we expect, but God has a plan for each one of us, and He will always do what is best.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5 NKJV)

Serve God where you are able, and He will reward you for your faithfulness. You may be poor in this world, but you are rich in heart, because Jesus abides in you. Continue to follow His example of love.

Thanks.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. All the above verses and comments are an encouragement to anyone who will take time to read them. The Lord said we will have trouble in this world. And then HE said, “Take heart for I have overcome the world.” Have Faith, and God will see you through anything in this world.

Thank you for posting these verses. I’m at work but needed encouragement because I was missing my boyfriend. He is away at school (which I am very happy about) but I really miss him. The distance causes me to doubt if our relationship will last. I know that to everything there is a season and that our season together may not be as long as I hope. Yet, I am choosing to be thankful for our current season together. Thank you for posting these verses as they have lifted my spirit. Bless you and continue to do God’s work.

So I’m literally here in tears. So long I think I’ve been angry, thinking that God has also forsaken me. I was wrong. Just recently I have opened up and drawn closer to him and need him now more then ever. These Scriptures are really helping me at a desperate time. Thank you for posting them. And thank you Yahweh for not turning your back on me when I had turned mine on you.

Hello, I have been going through some things in life and it happen recently and I started to over think all the time and some I heard like there someone else talking in my head and just be saying negative things about everyone n everything and it’s make me feel bad bc I know that’s not me and I wouldn’t even do those things but just the thoughts are just kinda painful, it make me feel like someone that i know truthfully that i am not!! I honestly think the devil be putting evil and non appealing thoughts in my head n thry seem to get stuck in my head and it be all u think bout sometimes. I turn my life to God and read the Bible and pray everyday . Things are getter better and I have n will not loose my faith in him. Just like to hear some advice from other Christian believers. Thanks for reading and listening and hopefully that others have some problems and can be help too!

Hi Lawrence,

When I first gave my life to Christ I went through something similar; but, as I drew closer to God the bad thoughts decreased and eventually went away.

Continue to serve God and He will give you strength to overcome evil. Keep reading your Bible daily, and pray often. Remember, being in Christ means you are under His protection. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Be faithful.

God bless you.

I know what it’s like to lose a mother, and I know what it’s like to go through hard times. Be encouraged, my friend, for you are not alone in your suffering. God is with you. And you have a family in Christ. Indeed, you are beloved of God!

God will give you strength to overcome the world. Keep the faith. Don’t let anything nor anyone hinder your growth in Christ. Remember, not only are these Bible verse encouraging, what is promised in them will come true.

Believe in God’s promises. He has something wonderful to give you in heaven, but you must remain faithful to Him. Don’t give up.

God bless you,

I’m a teen…and sometimes I feel lost. I’m afraid to live every day, thinking that I’m going to die and being sick to my stomach about it, and haven’t lived a single day without that feeling. I have Jesus Christ in my heart and constantly say to myself “Why am I afraid of the future?” HE is in control!! I have trouble staying persistent in my devotions, and have this weight of sickening guilt if I don’t do them. I know that God may be preparing me, or maybe testing me, but it really is hard. Verses like these are the only thing that give me hope, thank you.

Libby, I can’t explain why you feel the way you do, but, you don’t have to be afraid. Nothing can stop God from doing His will. He has wonderful plans for you. Keep following Jesus: read your Bible daily, believe what it says, pray without ceasing, and share your faith.

By the way, I’m glad you found this post to be encouraging!

We may not understand why certian things happen but he does. My advice to anyone going through a hard time is this. Trust God. Give him your worries and He will take care of them. Read your bible because every question has an answer and it can be found within those pages if you just take the time to look. God Bless!
