The best list of Bible verses about being positive to last you a lifetime
I always turn to Jesus and the Bible when I am in distress. The book of Psalm is incredibly comforting to me. I have found so many verses that help me every day! When I was going through a particularly hard time, one of my pastors suggested that I use note cards to 3write down a verse that brought me comfort and keep it in my purse. She gave me an index box and some cards and said, “Fill ’em up!” The box got all worn out, and I found a pretty box on Amazon that I HAD to have for my Bible cards. I purchased it and a bunch of colored index cards. I use this box to this day. It is strictly for Bible-related stuff. Sometimes prayer requests, sometimes verses, or something from a Bible study. Of course, it is my favorite color!
The site that I use to find Bible Verses is BibleGateway
Below you will find some verses that I find comfort in. They are in no particular order, nor is there any reason they are listed as they are. All the verses are in the ESV Bible (English Standard Version). It is just a collection that I thought might help someone today! Enjoy!
