We feel the love…

We have been so surrounded by the support of our friends and family!  Have I mentioned that before?  :)  Every day we check our mail and there are many many sweet cards, we check our email with encouraging emails and blog comments, we have phone calls and texts, flowers and plants being delivered to our house, meals being dropped off…I really am in awe of the people God has brought into our lives.  I just wanted to pass on some scripture that others have shared with us.  Was the whole Bible written for me??  :)  Amazing how Scripture speaks to each of us in whatever situation we might be facing.  I love how God gave us His word and uses it to comfort us and bring us healing.

Isaiah 26:3-4 (ICB)  “You, Lord, give true peace. You give peace to those who depend on you. You give peace to those who trust you. So, trust the Lord always. Trust the Lord because he is our Rock forever.”

Philippians 4:7 (Living Bible) “Peace which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand; that will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus."

Psalm 22:24 “For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.”

Romans 8:26 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans and moans that words cannot express.”

Romans 8:28  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Psalm 46:1-2 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”

Jeremiah 17:7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.”

Psalm 71:20-21 “Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.”

Psalm 138:7  “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.”

Psalm 143:8 "Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you."

Isaiah 40:18-31 “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Nahum 1:7 “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.”

Revelation 21:4  “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
