Your Verse of Strength

I want to know which verse in the Bible comforts you the most. I dont want ANY negative stuff here, this is simply a self-healing blog, so if you don't believe, or feel like bashing... GO AWAY!!! Now, my favorite is Psalm 23:4 "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for thou art with me" Your turn!!! What verse brings you strength, comfort, understanding??

Psalm 131
Oh Lord my heart is not proud, nor are my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters or things too difficult for me.
Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me.
O Israel hope in The Lord
from this time forth and forever.

Not a bible quote, but 'footsteps' is one of the best. I think,
Aling with 'friendship'

This third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.' "

Zechariah 13:9

I once read a commentary where a bible study group found a silversmith and inquired further. One rule of thumb is the silver is ready when you can see your reflection in it...
