Here are some scriptures I’ve come across for when I feel scared, alone, uncertain, tired or hopeless. I hope it could mean something to you. Let me know if it does!

During these uncertain times, there is only one Person we could really turn to and that is God. Who else knows our hearts better than He does? Who listens better than He does?

When you’re scared, read:

Deut 1:21, 29

“Look! He has placed it in front of you. Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don’t be afraid! Don’t be discouraged!”

“But I said to you, ‘Don’t be afraid! The Lord your God is going before you. He will fight for you just as you saw Him do in Egypt. And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you again and again here in the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child.’”

Deut 20:1,3

“When you go out to fight your enemies and you face horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, do not be afraid. The Lord your God, who brought you safely out of Egypt, is with you!”

“He will say, ‘Listen to me, all you men of Israel! Do not be afraid as you go out to fight today! DO not lose heart or panic! For the Lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and He will give you victory!’”

Ps 27:1

“The Lord is my light and my salvation – so why should I be afraid? The Lord protects me from danger – so why should I tremble?”

“But when I am afraid, I put my trust in You. O God, praise your word. I trust in God, wo why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?”

Heb 13:6

“That is why we can say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helpter, so I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

When you are uncertain, read:

Hab 2:4

“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked; but the righteous will live by their faith.”

“Then Jesus told them, ‘I assure you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, May God lift you up and throw you into the sea, and it will happen. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Acts 3:16

When you are tired, read:

Heb 11:1

“What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.”
