Life verse? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I was wondering how many of you have a 'life verse' or chapter that you have found to be the most helpful for you? Your favorites or whatever God leads you to share with us all would be great.
Here is one of mine: I think it should be named "King David Sings the Blues" It gets me through- especially verse 8.

PSALMS CHAPTER 42

1 Â¶ To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6 Â¶ O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Great idea for this post.

My Life Verse has changed from time to time, but for the past 7+ years it has been Jeremiah 29:11

" For I know the Plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your benefit,
not to harm you."

That has been what I have clung to as I began my journey into recovery and the unknown of what my life was going to become. I still hold strong onto it as the challenges life brings my way. No matter what, I know He is in control and if I listen to Him, and follow His leading, I will be OK!

Psalm 40

Pulled me from the muck and mire
Set my feet upon the rock (that which is Jesus)
Placed a new song on my lips (from the lips comes what is in the heart)
Many are the things the Lord has done for me and if I had eternity, I still wouldn't have enough time to tell of them all.

This has been my thought as I go through schooling.
If I am where I should be, He wil continue to give me strength and wisdom to get the job done.

so far, so good
here's another good one:
Isaiah 40: 29
"He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power."
this will be my new 'workout and power walking' verse!!!!!!
