I have to be honest and say it's just about impossible for me to choose one. There are two bible verses that I consider my "life verses", that I strive to live by. The first one is "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will be added to you". I have found if I put my eyes, mind and heart on the things of God, He orders everything else about my life.
The second is, "he who seeks to keep his life will lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it". (Jesus speaking). That is truly the ultimate goal for me, as a Christian, to totally abandon my own agenda and give my life over to Him, completely. Haven't done it yet, by the way. It's funny, though. I find the more of myself I "give up", the more my "true" self I become.

No weapon that is formed against they shall prosper and every tongue that rises against thee in judgment will be condemned. I take confort in this verse because no matter what is going on in my life, God knows about it. Not only does He know but He has promised that it won't prosper. I used to have a thing that I wanted to be liked by everyone and if I thought someone was talking about me or didn't like me, it would hurt me. But God let me know that I cannot control what others do or say. What He has promised is that not only will it not hurt me but it wlll be brought to the light and crashed. I live by this in yea though I walk thru the valley of shadows of doubt, I will fear no evil. I live my life trying to do as Jesus did. Because I do satan will try everything he can to steal, kill and destroy me. But God......................................................He said it would not prosper. May God Bless U.

Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any present powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
I love this verse, because it's one of the only things that keeps me going. It makes me realize that the love of God overpowers everything else.

Psalms 19:14 to the end.
It explains how broken we are.
As any Christian would, I do my best to live by the word. As fractured human beings, we are destined to fail. God does not care how many times we fall, he just loves to see us run :)

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always: pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
These verses remind that I don't have to worry about things because God is in control, even in the hard times. Because of this, I know that God is always with me, so I might as well talk to Him and thank him for his constant presense, even in the bad times.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18Now the Lord is the and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
Because this verse is the powerhouse of the Spirit, who imparts spiritual life to those who believe, that God can empower them to live Christ-like holy lives, and this in ever increasing glory and this in ever increasing glory and this in ever increasing glory ... ... ... ... ... ... which comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit. No matter how much we have recieved from the LORD there is always more spiritual growth to be had, always greater maturity to possess and greater life to share and overflow, no matter who you are or where you are - God wants to increase in your life to prove to the world that He truly did send His Son into the world by the evidence in your life.
Daily walking in the Spirit, daily falling in love with God, daily renewing my life with God, daily being transformed into his glory from one glory to the next. Daily asking and daily by faith recieving. Daily showing that it is God and not me, daily show that it is His power not mine, Daily declaring the works of Christ that are made manifest in my life.

Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
Romans 6.14
Why? Helps me to understand that its OK not to be perfect.
How do you live by it? By trying to move on to perfection.

matthew 6:33
seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the things shall be added unto you
why?
because when we have knowledge about God (how he help other people long time ago before i was born) we will have faith in him,and we will believe in him that he will be there for us no matter what.. and we can ask anything from him (example : make me smarter please).
IF we KNOW and BELIEVE in GOD, GOD will provide everything that we need
and because we are his creation, automatically we shud know him and surrender our problems to God

Philippians 2:10-11
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Hard to live by a prophesy, but it helps me know that eventually all will confess. Its up to them if its now or later.
