A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. (Pro 17:22)

Answer 2

John 3:16

Answer 3

I feel you. I know I come from a different perspective but God really is there all you have to do is reach out and touch Him. Remember the good things to come and what motivates you? Loving God and His love for you, Sometimes I need to be reminded of what I live for and that is the gifts God has given me-dance, creativity, my job (boy I can sell lol) and other important things that I tend to forget. It'll pass just keep loving God and others, you will see that God is right beside you.

Answer 4

A time to be born and a time to DIE?? Yeah, that'll make ME feel good when I'm down. ¬_¬ How about a Bible joke?

Did you know that cigarettes are mentioned in the Bible? Gen.24:64 "And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off her Camel." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Okay, I guess it was a lot funnier when I was 9.

Answer 5

Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

That is my favorite bible verse. It has comforted me in many trying times. However, God may have a message for you in another verse. Just pick up your bible and read. Let the spirit of God direct.

Answer 6

Romans 8:28 All things work together for good for those that lovethe Lord and are called to His purpose.

Jeremiah 7:14 For I know the plans I have you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you;... plans to bring you to an expected end

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

God is able and He won't fail. Trust in the Lord and look to the hills from whince comes your help from Him. He will never leave you nor foresake you. You are the head and not the tail. You are blessed coming in and going out. Have faith. God loves you.

Answer 7

these always help me feel better :)
Psalms 4:8 - In peace i will both lie down and sleep, For you yourslef alone, o Jehovah, make me dwell in secutirty.

Psalms 3:4-7

Psalms ch 18

** just about the whole book of psalms is awesome for when you are feeling down***

Answer 8

"For the Lord hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (I believe it's 1 Tim. 4)

"I am that I am, for the grace of God that was bestowed upon me, was not in vain." (sorry, don't remember the reference)

Even in the dark periods of our lives, God sees, but waits. Know that a heartfelt prayer is heard. "Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven, and all other things shall be added unto you."

Seek out ways that you can help someone less fortunate than yourself. Also, Psalm 19 (you can google it) is very beautiful. God's handiwork is all around us; He is a LIVING God.

Answer 9

For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under heaven:
2 a time to be born,
and a time to die;
a time to plant,
and a time to uproot what is planted. (3:1-2)
Ecclesiastes

Answer 10

Read some of the Psalms very comforting. May try Psalm 51 it always a good one fore me.

Answer 11

the bible does that to people read a funny story instead ok since you want bible quotes here goes:

Psalms 137:9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)

"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)

matthew:
Jesus says that most people will go to hell. 7:13-14

Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn't the slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament. 5:17

Those who fail to bear "good fruit" will be "hewn down, and cast into the fire." 7:19

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

[The Lord speaking] "The one who has stolen what was set apart for destruction will himself be burned with fire, along with everything he has, for he has broken the covenant of the LORD and has done a horrible thing in Israel." (Joshua 7:15 NLT)

As for you, son of man, prophesy: Thus says the Lord GOD against the Ammonites and their insults: A sword, a sword is drawn for slaughter, burnished to consume and to flash lightning, because you planned with false visions and lying divinations to lay it on the necks of depraved and wicked men whose day has come when their crimes are at an end. Return it to its sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you. I will pour out my indignation upon you, breathing my fiery wrath upon you, I will hand you over to ravaging men, artisans of destruction. You shall be fuel for the fire, your blood shall flow throughout the land. You shall not be remembered, for I, the LORD, have spoken. (Ezekiel 21:33-37 NAB)
