Hello ladies.... Just curious what your favorite bible verse is? I have several.
Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.
Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

My favorite right now is Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
I do need to remember to give my heartache up to God!!

Here is another one I turn to often; it gives me strength.
Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me..."

These are a few that I like:
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my preace I givve you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
I really enjoy reading all of the favorites.

I Thessalonians 4:11 - Make it your ambition in life to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and you won't be dependent on anyone.
And I love the entire 4th chapter of Phillipians: 4. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5. Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Thanks for starting this post! I'll be looking up several of these, just to keep me grounded!
Thanks for Their Gifts
10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

I found others that I like.
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

Oh Julie I have so many!!!
A couple:
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.
(this is one I always turn to before getting stressed out :))
Habakkuk 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation.
(I really like how the word joy is used as a verb here. It is a decision that we make even when times are tough, I will 'joy' in the God of my salvation)
Many of the verses listed above are favorites. Actually I LOVE my Bible as a whole and am so thankful that I have God's word to cling to and hide in my heart :)

"There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to rebuild. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and atime to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to lose. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak up. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace."

"Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint". Isaish 40:31
This helps me focus every minute of every day . . . there are SO MANY things that are apparently out of control. Focusing on Him and what He gives me gives me what I need . . . moment by moment.

Ecclesiastes 7:11-22
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, yea better. It shelters from the storms and scorching heat of trouble. Wealth will not lengthen out the natural life; but true wisdom will give spiritual life, and strengthen men for services under their sufferings. Let us look upon the disposal of our condition as the work of God, and at last all will appear to have been for the best. In acts of righteousness, be not carried into heats or passions, no, not be a zeal for God. Be not conceited of thine own abilities; nor find fault with everything, nor busy thyself in other men's matters. Many who will not be wrought upon by the fear of God, and the dread of hell, will avoid sins which ruin their health and estate, and expose to public justice. But those that truly fear God, have but one end to serve, therefore act steadily. If we say we have not sinned, we deceive ourselves. Every true believer is ready to say, God be merciful to me a sinner. Forget not at the same time, that personal righteousness, walking in newness of life, is the only real evidence of an interest by faith in the rigorousness of the Redeemer. Wisdom teaches us not to be quick in resenting affronts. Be not desirous to know what people say; if they speak well of thee it will feed thy pride if ill it will stir up thy passion. See that thou approve thyself to God and thine own conscience and then heed not what men say of thee; it is easier to pass by twenty affronts than to avenge one. When any harm is done to us, examine whether we have not done as bad to others.
"The best mirror is an old friend."
- George Herbert

Julie,
I have several, but one of my favorite scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the Lord... Thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope.
Blessings...

Julie, I have 2 favorites right now.
Micah 7:8- Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me!
And Psalm 65: 9-13 talks about how God waters the earth and provides the grain. He blesses it's growth. Our paths drip with abundance. The pastures are clothed with flocks. It's just great verses for gardeners and farmers. I love it.
