I thought it would be helpful to those that come here for prayer when they are discouraged, to be able to take a bible verse or two and be encouraged by God's Word.
Just post a verse from the Bible that you use when you are down and need to be encouraged. Here, I'll start...
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness" Isaiah 41:10 KJV
Genesis 1....In the beginning....where it all started (smile)...that makes me happy! encouragement thread is a great idea soulsisterclaire! love, blessings, and peace to you!

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to his eternal glory by means of Jesus Christ. After you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. All power is his forever and ever. Amen."
1 Peter 5:7-11
Excellent idea..and I'll just say read my signature! 2 of my favorite. Right now I'd just like to say I'm also praying for our president, leaders, military, and all involved in the war against terrorism, as yet another warning has been issued for the NE US. Thank you God that we as believers have a face to face meeting with you in glory to look forward to, no matter what!
