I tried today to choose some lesser-known verses that help me through the tough times. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that most focus on Jesus. Seems pretty right to me. May they encourage you as well…
Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love. – 2 John 1:3
This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers. – 1 Timothy 4:10
For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. – Psalm 100:5
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. – Philippians 1:6
And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. – 2 Corinthians 1:10
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. – 1 Peter 1:6
But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. – 2 Corinthians 2:14
But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name. – John 20:31
Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. – Hebrews 10:36
We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy. – James 5:11
Dear Lord, the blessing of Your word is priceless. Thank You, a million times, thank You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen…

Enduring trials/troubles for a little while sounds to me a lot like our other verse about the “light” afflictions being just for a moment…it seems to me it all depends on whether we are looking at things from our perspective or God’s .
Loved this song…beautiful voice, accompaniment and words….making all things new…we come in pieces, we come discoloured to the foot of the Cross….indeed, indeed. I need to hear more from this lovely artist.
My verse about coming in pieces is:
Psalm 18 20-24 God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I got my act together,
he gave me a fresh start.
Now I’m alert to God’s ways;
I don’t take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works;
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. The Msg:
That speaks to me of authenticity….admitting all my thoughts and attitudes…..and laying the whole lot on the altar and asking Him to fix this very broken and damaged woman who has no hope of sorting herself out!
Mary, what a perfect verse! I love you. Heart Hugs <3
