There are so many many more though (statements, along with verses)!
- We can trust Jesus as our Savior (John 3:16).
- We can trust that so long as we hand Him over all our storms in this life He will take care of them (Psalm 107:29).
- We can trust that God is a just judge (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
- His word stands forever (Isaiah 40:8).
- We can trust that He thinks of us kindly, with love and that when we call, He will answer (Jeremiah 29:11-13).
- That when all our friends aren't living right, we can through Him; by standing firmly on His word (Psalm 119:9).
- We can trust the Word of God is our sword. Our weapon in battle against the forces we cannot see (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:12).
- When we have confessed our sins, noting the wrath of God Jesus endured while on that cross and accept Him into our hearts, we can trust He's always with us, even to the end of age (Matthew 28:20).
God has shown me how to take hold of promises like these and make them my prayer during hard trials, or even joyous occasions!
During a hard time for example, one verse was Proverbs 3:5. Because "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" became so ingrained on my heart, Satan absolutely could not use the trial I was going through to bring me down.. my King was too busy using it to bring me closer to Him!
And for a joyous moment was the last part of Psalm 33:1. I was just skimming through my bible one day (quite recently) and came across it: "For praise from the upright is beautiful."
How could I not absolutely melt at that? Through Jesus I am made righteous; and to think that when I praise God, He condsiders the words of appreciation and song on my lips... beautiful? Well hallelujah!
I'm sure you've got a favorite verse that God has opened your eyes to at some point, feel free to share them in a comment!! I love sharing testimonies!
