Comforting scriptures for when life hurts.

Please continue praying for me, its better but im still struggling to learn and keep up with everybody else.

Are you feeling 'left-behind' ?
We are all individuals
having all 'arrived' by different-routes and inertias

Mine, is currently the Slowly-Slowly Shuffle
I am not, in the hurry ~that I seemed to feel when I was younger
But, when the mountain doesn't come to me
If you believe that we may have your answer, just 'ask'

 

[DavidFirth]

Well, Everybody else already knows the job while I'm new and struggling to learn it.

I feel more left out than left behind.

It is said, that the answer to most questions, can be found in the question

Everybody else already knows the job
~can the student not enquire of the 'teacher' "How Best, to perform job please Boss"
I'm new and struggling to learn it
~and, you have all of that experience surrounding you, ~just waiting
for you to reach out
and 'pick' from 'the crop'
of their knowledge and wisdom

The LORD has brought you to mind a number of times and I've been praying for you, David. How are things going with the job?

Thank you so much for praying for me, much appreciated!

Things are getting slowly better but I'm still struggling. It's a lot to learn in a short period of time.

Will continue to pray for God's blessings on your absorption, retention and recall of the material-- that He will connect the dots in a way that will make learning and assimilation of the information as quick and easy as possible.

Thank you!

It must be hard being the only one new to it. I'm praying for your job too, David, and trust that it won't be long before you are competent in it, can enjoy it and converse with the others as a trained and experienced member of the team.

Much appreciated!

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. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be comformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Romans 8 v 28-30

As the OP I "stickied" this thread so that we would have a resource of God's word for difficult times in our lives. Please feel free to post any scriptures, from the Bible, so that we can rely on the Lord's word to us. (Ensuring that they are not taken out of context, of course.)

This is a familiar verse but means a lot at the moment,
Deuteronomy 33
27 The eternal God is your refuge,
and his everlasting arms are under you.

Psalm 18 is special to me at the moment

1 I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.

2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.

 

[musicalpilgrim]

Part of Psalm 16 has been good today

5 Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
What a wonderful inheritance!


7 I will bless the Lord who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.


9 No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
