Will we trust him with them? Think back on a previous, fear-free season of your life, when your trust in the Lord was absolute. The most comforting promise we can cling to right now is that God is holding our future in his steady hands. His comfort is a mere moment away and will envelop you with delight.īut I am trusting you, O Lord, saying “You are my God!” My future is in your hands. Talk to him today and confess aloud the thoughts you don’t even want to admit to. If hope and cheer seem painfully unattainable, take heart: Scripture tells us that in his presence, they’re here for the taking. He comforts and lifts our spirits if we will run to him with our doubts, worries, and fears. Often the terrain of our minds is more overwhelming than what we’re facing in “the real world.” So how do we rid ourselves of unwelcome thoughts? Our hope is found in the Lord. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. Allow your anxious mind to trust in God, and you will experience his peace. Comfort and renewed hope don’t have to be far off, out of reach. That might sound impossible right now, but be encouraged: we can choose to live this way today. In the dark, uncertain moments of life, here’s what we’re told to do: rejoice, be patient, and pray. If you’re wondering what God would say to us in this current moment, look no further than his word. We shouldn’t just take these words from Romans as a suggestion-they are directions for divine soul care. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. Friends, he is faithful to accompany us through every turbulent moment life could ever throw at us-including the unprecedented one we are living in right now!

He assures us that when we walk in step with him, nothing can overwhelm us. When you see the threat of illness looming, it is comforting to know that the Great Physician himself promises nearness. What’s truly beautiful about these verses isn’t that God prevents the elements from encountering us, but that he walks committedly through them with us.

For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up the flames will not consume you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. If you are desperate for comfort and hope, tuck these words into your heart and ask God for them to take root. We can find solace in the safety of his presence. Isn’t it comforting to know that we have a God who welcomes the outpouring of our hearts? A God who cares enough to hear every anxious thought that stirs within our minds? He is a sanctuary for his people.

Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Here are a few Bible verses for comfort and hope: O my people, trust in him at all times. Wading into God’s word, we find ourselves connected not only with our Father in Heaven, but with all our brothers and sisters around the globe who are clinging to the same truths. Especially when facing a state of widespread panic, immersing ourselves in Scripture is one of the best disciplines we can practice. It reminds us of God’s promises and refreshes our spirits when hope feels hard to find. In good times and bad times alike, the Bible is a constant resting place for our weary hearts.
