HA! take that bible discussion forum not so many threads to scare away ppl now huh?
So basically the idea is to post encouraging sayings words scriptures even songs and videos.

Here is mine- You try you fail you try you fail but the only true failure is when you stop trying

Psalm 31:24

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!

Galatians 6:9 ESV /

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Matthew 11:28-30

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
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.”

I don't remember the exact verse, but I always remember "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and "Greater is He who is in me than he that is in the world."

One response in 37 views. How disheartening.

There are so many uplifting verses in Scripture it is difficult to list them. When it comes down to it, my favorite Scripture is Matthew 11:28-30. For me it sums up God's love for us. His arms are wide open to us. :)

When times are tough I tell God, "Lord, into Your hands, I commit my spirit." Psalm 31.5

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

My, my....that disheartens you? What will you do when things get tough?
Jeremiah 12:5 "If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?"

One of my personal favorites is Jeremiah 29:11 it's justa friendly reminder that God is holding us and He is in control so we don't need to have any worries or doubts. It's a waste of our time :):

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Isaiah 54 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, says the Lord that has mercy on you.

' ... Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And He that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because He maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose. ...'
(Rom 8:26-28)

Praise God!

Hi there,

I would just like to echo the words of Thomas,
when He saw the Lord, after the resurrection:-

'And Thomas answered
and said unto Him,
"My Lord and my God."'

Praise His Holy Name!

:)

You know this is always an encouragement to me. When I am down and out when I am broken beaten sad hurt and alone I always seem to imagine being in his arms. I imagine the warmth and love the understanding of my pain and sadness to the point where he himself has tears. He isn't simply simply encouraging me isn't simply making me strong he is right there with me feeling and knowing and concerned about all I am feeling inside.

This is one of the rare times where i feel he and I are one heart one mind one soul, no longer Blain and Jesus but somehow one being

I love this song which was written and performed (originally) by Van Morrison when he as said to have found God. I find it uplifting and when I sing along with it in my heart I'm singing it to God. I hope this makes someone smile:

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

"Have I told you lately that I love you,
have I told you there's no one above you,
you fill my life with gladness -
take away all my sadness,
ease my troubles that's what you do...

There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine -
like the sun.
At the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray -
to the one."

Just seeing this now - great thread!

A couple of favorite Scripture passages on perspective:

“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.

2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare.

3 Give ear and come to me;
listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David. (from Is. 55)

​
And:


14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (from Eph. 3)
