Psalm 23
God Bless you

Last night Pastor was talking about the names of God and when he came to Jehovah Rapha (The God who heals), he reminded us that God is also capable of healing emotional wounds.

I am so glad to hear you are experiencing great healing. I can't think of any specific scripture, but I keep feeling prompted to tell you about an author I especially like. Her name is Stormy Omartain.

Here is a link to her website: http://www.stormieomartian.com/powerofprayer/

Wow thanks everyone, This has already been helpful! I am excited to look into these and study them.

Kathilee- I am sorry you experienced so much pain. If you dont mind me asking, what happened that caused you so much pain? Did you go through a process of healing with God? Thanks for the link!

Beddii- Psalm 23 is such a big one! In the midst of my situation I think I overlooked it. Its a good reminder and very helpful.

Misred- I wanted to go into a study about the names of God 3 months ago and never got to it. Its nice that you brought this up! PTL, He is our Jehovah Rapha. I will look into the link, thankyou.

I really appreciate all you!

Hi Razzy. Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Here's one I find helpful.

I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do Not Fear; I will help you.

-Isaiah 41:13

Here's something I like to say to myself in times of challenge, borrowed from Peter: GIRD YOUR LOINS!

You made me laugh, Gird your loins, I was not expecting that. I love it!

I really like how simple the verse your referenced is. There are times in this process where I dont have a ton of energy to fight. SO I just hold on to Jesus. This def. helps thanks!

I cried like a swift or thrush,
I moaned like a mourning dove.
My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens.
I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”
Isaiah 38:14

for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.
Philippians 4:16

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble
Psalm 46:1

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Hebrews 4:16

I will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 13: 5
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 NIV
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, whoi have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV
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. 10That 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. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV

Psalm 121 - I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore

Isaiah 26:4 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
4 “Trust in the Lord forever,
For in [a]God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.

Listen to a Joel Osteen sermon, 30 minutes will lift you up.

Colossians 3:13

Those verses are inspirational to me ,also

Thanks for the help brothers and Sisters

Some really great scriptures everyone!!!

Here's one from me:

Romans 8:37-39 (NLT)

37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Romans 8:37-39 (KJV)

37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE than conquerors through him that loved us.

You guys are awesome! I am very encouraged.This gives me a lot to work with.

Thank You :)

Here is a great one from the Apostle Paul which is a real Swiss Army Knife in every troubling situation...

1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (King James Bible)
