Bible Verses, Some of my Favorite

I'm always awed by the fact that the Bible has the right words for any and every situation, emotion, and happening in my life. 

Here are a few of my favorite Bible verses:

• When I am sad: "Praise the Lord! He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:1,3
• When I am afraid: "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31
• When I am tempted to say something negative: "Set a guard, Lord, over my mouth;
  
  keep watch over the door of my lips." Psalm 141:3
• When I'm thinking of the past: "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19 (these are my anchor verses for 2014)
•  When I am going through a difficult time: "Consider it all joy, my brethren,when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4
