List prepared by Mary Katherine May

From experience I know that keeping Bible verses that talk about strength, encouragement and trusting God in my heart and mind will see me through dark, hard days. It isn't usually an automatic thing, though. I repeat them to myself, over and over, and tell God I do trust him and believe He will give me peace.
