Life is tough, I know it is. If you’re reading this maybe you feel like your life is falling apart. Maybe you just lost a family member, got fired, lost a baby, etc. I can say one thing for sure, God is near to you. Even in the midst of our darkest days, God is there.
I have been where you are, and still am in many ways. Whether you are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, pain…these verses are for you. So often we look to friends or family to “say the right thing” when the only things that can help are written in the Word of God. The Bible is full of peace and strength for us if we use it.
These are verses that have helped me and my family. I have prayed them in the shower, on my knees in an ICU room, and in my mind every time Satan tries to bring anxiety into my heart. I personally am trying to teach myself to turn to God first, and one of the ways to do that is to constantly be thinking about His word. These verses are verses that have got me through the last year. Only God. I pray that these help you as well. If you feel like your life is falling apart, turn to God. Claim these verses over your life and situation.

What verses do you turn to when life is hard and feels overwhelming? These verses are full of Gods peace and comfort- let those sink into you today!
Thank you. Great verses I needed to hear tonight.
I needed this tonight. Thank you. May the lord continue to use you to spread the word of God.
I’m so glad it helped you. 💜 thats my goal with this is to spread His word!
I really need these verses. I have lost everyone in my life including my only child and husband! I have chronic illnesses now. How can a loving God allow all this suffering and become ill? Have no money? So despondent.
First off I’m so sorry for all your suffering, I can’t imagine. I have faced a lot of loss as well and I can admit it made me question the same thing you mentioned. I just know that God isn’t spiteful or hateful. He doesn’t do thing to hurt us. We live in a fallen world and because of sin in our world we face hard times. But God offers such comfort and peace when we truly seek Him. It’s a hard question to answer and I’ll admit I don’t have the exact answer to explain. But I do know that God has never abandoned me even in the midst of my suffering. And my suffering has brought me even closer to Him.
Prayers to you my friend. I hope you find peace in Him tonight.
Thank you for your scriptures and your words may God bless you
God will come through for you and meet you at every points of your needs, amen. And surely, He will restore your lost causes and reshape you back to perfection. Amen.

I’m so sorry you’re struggling. I’m glad this post helped you 💓 it’s exactly why I try to share these posts. I’m blessed to know God is using my little blog to help others.
To all those on this platform thank God today for the wherewithal to share with one another. Each story is different and allows us all to feel we are not alone. Thank you for the scriptures they strengthened me. I can’t sleep 🛌 feel like my life is not worth living. My joy is numb. I can hardly enjoy the few things and people I have left In my life. But I don’t blame God. Thank just wish things were much more fruitful for me like I see in everyone else’s life. This life can be hard and acceptance can be a test we have to take until we pass without bitterness. I’m hurting but I want to help someone else who’s hurting too. God bless everyone especially the host of this platform. You are all in my prayers going forward.
Thank you so much, i recently found a job, and soon after, my husband lost his..so frustrating because i thought things were starting to look up for us. i’ve got 3 kids still attending with my 1 daughter in grade 12 next year. i dont know how to deal, at work i got a promotion, but still very inderpaid, its just one dissapointment after the other, i know i should trust God,, but the worrying and the anxiety is getting to me,, i just read meditated on these bible verses, and it really is calming.
Thanks for the tools to gear up i was really feeling low and this for sure helped .
Thank you for this. So much coming at me right now; going through a divorce I did not want; putting up with slander and gossip; having my own kids being turned against me, and feeling powerless to do anything about. Then worst of all, I started feeling SORRY for myself, which is the absolute worst…so I googled this. And then I felt mildly ashamed for having been tempted to despair. You chose your verses well, for I was reminded of God’s promises to those who remain faithful to Him. God bless you.
Thank you! Brother-in-law recently loss his wife. Married 50 tears. I was looking for scriptures to send him for encouragement! Thank you again!

I got a job overseas last year, did my training and everything n life was becoming just fine then boom, my visa got rejected so I had to fly back home in January.
Ever since I got back, I have been crying day n night asking God questions 😭
Thank you so much for this beautiful, soulful, wonderful, blessed worshipful place! I feel so blessed that I happened upon this! Such peace just reading along that I just want to keep reading for a bit. I want this to be my relaxing place that I go to after a long busy day. I was looking for the Biblical topics for my granddaughter to help her find Bible references to read. I found this and I will refer her to this instead. This is so nicely done! God bless you for being a blessing to so many.
