We all have days when everything goes wrong, and we feel there’s nothing we can do to pull ourselves out of what seems to be a dark abyss. Times like these call for an all-encompassing wisdom that can only be found in the Holy Bible.
The Holy Book is brimming with words of love meant to guide and inspire as we navigate through life. Here are some that uplift our spirits!
John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace . In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Comforting the hearts, we are reminded that the troubles of the world are nothing to be overwhelmed by. We must always practice gratefulness and be happy knowing full well that God alone can truly grant us victory over the chaos disturbing our lives.
Romans 15:13 “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."
Our hearts and minds are always in need of some solace. This powerful verse does more than enough to remind us that God is ultimately the one in charge, and all hope lies with him. Keeping him in our thoughts will benefit us and be a source of comfort unlike any other.
Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Facing the trials of this world day in and day out can levy a heavy burden on the heart. These beautiful words offer consolation, and guide us to always do good, no matter what. We must demonstrate a beautiful patience and know in our heart of hearts, that God sees all.
Psalm 46:1-3 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”
If we ever find ourselves struggling in our affairs, we must gently remind ourselves of God’s omnipotence. He is no more than a heart-felt prayer away from fixing whatever it is that troubles us. We must seek inspiration through God and he will not turn us away empty-handed.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
Finally, we have this succinct reminder that when we have God by our side, we are in need of nothing and nobody else.
The Holy Bible is a powerful tool, and one that promises to guide us through the tribulations of this world.
