Mine is the entire chapter of Isaiah 54 (The Message):

"Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby.
Fill the air with song, you who've never experienced childbirth!
You're ending up with far more children
than all those childbearing women." God says so!
"Clear lots of ground for your tents!
Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big!
Use plenty of rope,
drive the tent pegs deep.
You're going to need lots of elbow room
for your growing family.
You're going to take over whole nations;
you're going to resettle abandoned cities.
Don't be afraid—you're not going to be embarrassed.
Don't hold back—you're not going to come up short.
You'll forget all about the humiliations of your youth,
and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory.
For your Maker is your bridegroom,
his name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!
Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel,
known as God of the whole earth.
You were like an abandoned wife, devastated with grief,
and God welcomed you back,
Like a woman married young
and then left," says your God.

7-8Your Redeemer God says: "I left you, but only for a moment.
Now, with enormous compassion, I'm bringing you back.
In an outburst of anger I turned my back on you—
but only for a moment.
It's with lasting love
that I'm tenderly caring for you.
9-10"This exile is just like the days of Noah for me:
I promised then that the waters of Noah
would never again flood the earth.
I'm promising now no more anger,
no more dressing you down.
For even if the mountains walk away
and the hills fall to pieces,
My love won't walk away from you,
my covenant commitment of peace won't fall apart."
The God who has compassion on you says so.
11-17"Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied:
I'm about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,
Lay your foundations with sapphires,
construct your towers with rubies,
Your gates with jewels,
and all your walls with precious stones.
All your children will have God for their teacher—
what a mentor for your children!
You'll be built solid, grounded in righteousness,
far from any trouble—nothing to fear!
far from terror—it won't even come close!
If anyone attacks you,
don't for a moment suppose that I sent them,
And if any should attack,
nothing will come of it.
I create the blacksmith
who fires up his forge
and makes a weapon designed to kill.
I also create the destroyer—
but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.
Any accuser who takes you to court
will be dismissed as a liar.
This is what God's servants can expect.
I'll see to it that everything works out for the best."
God's Decree.
What's yours?

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. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Isaiah 40:30-31[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]"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." Jeremiah 29:11[/FONT]



[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][SIZE=-1]22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Ephesians 5:22-33[/FONT]

Wow, so many...

Ps 27:14 "Wait on the Lord. Be strong and of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord."

Romans 8:28 "For we know that all things work together for good, to them that love the Lord; to those who are called according to His purpose."

Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."

Zechariah 2:5 "'For I,' declares the LORD, 'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.'"

And lots more!

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

the one i keep coming back to as reminder of His sovereignty and wisdom over every situation is:

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct[a] your paths.- Prov 3:5-6

That one is mine too! Great minds think alike :D

Phil 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

I just like the one because I'm a chronic worrier and this one reminds me that He's in charge and in control, even if it doesn't always feel that way.
