Life can get pretty crazy, right? We all know it, Jesus even acknowledged it when he said we would face troubles in this world.
My journey has included it’s fair amount of loss and disappointment. In each dark season I have found that Christ was there. Over the years I have collected bundles of bible verses. On nearly every topic.
The list of scriptures I would collect would served as my foundation when everything else was falling. Today I am sharing my favorite list of encouraging scriptures.
Why do we need the Bible to carry us through hard times?
Because that’s is how we find the strength to carry on. Also known as faith. When the seed of faith is sown it grows the fruit of encouragement that feeds our souls.
When that seed of faith fills your heart, you have all the encouragement you need. So that even when life does not feel good we know it will end good.
Where does the seed of faith come from? The Word of God.
With that in mind, I want to share with you 15 encouraging Bible verses.
Theses are the very verses, that have carried me through some of the hardest times of my life. These bible verses calmed my anxiety.
Grab you Bible and a good notebook, it’s time to look at:
