As I read my bible daily, I also search out for many of the scriptures and passages that I've marked or underlined that seem to help me through the bad days. The Psalms are always my first to turn to, then I make my way through the rest of the books that I've marked in to remember. And after reading a few of them, I find myself saying, I can make it through this day because God has heard my cry, God has seen my suffering, and God is carrying me through.
Psalm 116 1-4
I love the Lord for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. then I called on the name of the Lord. OH LORD SAVE ME!
Psalm 118: 17, 18
I will not die but live, and I will proclaim what the Lord has done. The Lord has chastened me severely but he has not given me over to death.
Psalm 121: 1-8
I lift my eyes to the hills--where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and earth. he will not let your foot slip--he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you--the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm--he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit that make you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba Father."
Romans 8: 37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of god that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Corinthians 4: 8, 9
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 12: 7-10
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
