I hope these verses helps you.
2 Corinthians 4,8-9
We are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed.
Hebrews 12,12
Lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees.
We all have our ups and downs. You might not believe this but what has kept me going all these years is poem by Rudyard Kipling. It is said that when Kipling was composing this poem he was thinking of what God the Father might have said to Jesus before sending him to us. Here it is.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
--Rudyard Kipling
Grace and peace to you!

Today's the day, we're out to play
And lost our way, it's always the same - oh baby now
Climbed the trees, swan the seven seas
We've grazed our knees and no-one's to blame
Come and sit beside us
We'll give you such a thrill
We're not nice we're cool as ice
We'll give you quite a chill
Let your imagination take over on this ride
Out of sight - all right
(Hold on tight)
Come on
Come on
Get it on
Riding in our rollercoaster
Come on
Come along
Get it on
Riding in our rollercoaster of love
So don't be shy
You'll soon be high
We'll touch the sky
You'll never believe oh baby now
Go round and round
But don't look down
We won't be found
You'd better believe it
Bwitched, Roller Coaster

I don't know exactly what you are looking for , what kind of inspiration or maybe encouragement, but there is a scripture in Revelation that is very soothing to the soul especially in these turbulent times that we are living in these days(Revelation21:4)you might find it good too so look it up you might be glad you did.

I always remember what my friend told me..."Whenever we come to the end of a rope, God is there to take over!" :)
I have been in Christ for 7 years now,
Gone through alot, good and bad times... but through it all, God show me His Faithfulness... really.. many times i really feel like giving up.. but because I know He love me and He want me to be someone great in His kingdom...
He transformed my life, from a nobody, He transformed me to a somebody right now...
I cant imgine my life without Him... it will be really terrible...
Whatever problems you may be facing, or your are feeling abit tired, REST if you need.. but dun you quit! =)
I Know you can overcome anything, any problem in life because you have Him in you!
Dun let go of His hands, because He will never let go yours.
TAKE CARE!

My lesson in this life, is never give up, and don't expect. Never give up, but to keep trying. If I loose the will to keep trying, and loose the courage to keep trying then I have a problem.
Never regret a day in you life.
Good days give you happiness;
Bad days give you experiences;
Both are essential to life.
Keep going....
Riding the waves of life, be Mindful, Be Happy

Here is a Bible passage I preached on in my church's youth group recently~
His divine power has bestowed on us EVERYTHING necessary for LIFE and GODLINESS through the rich knowledge of the One who called us by His own glory and excellence. Through these things He has bestowed on us His precious and most magnificent promises, so that by means of what was promised you may become partakers of the divine nature, after escaping the worldly corruption that is produced by evil desire. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence (moral excellence), to excellence, knowledge; to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, brotherly affection; to brotherly affection, unselfish love. For if these things are really yours and are continually increasing, they will keep you from becoming unproductive in your pursuit of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ more intimately. But concerning the one who lacks such things - he is blind. That is to say, he is nearsighted, since he has forgotten about the clensing of his past sins. Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to be sure of your calling and election. For by doing this you will NEVER stumble into sin. For thus an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be richly provided for you.
~2 Peter 1:3-11
Note that it is through the "rich knowledge" of the One who called us (namely, Jesus the Christ) that He has bestowed on us everything we need. This rich knowledge is (you guessed it) the Bible! There is so much good stuff locked away in these 9 verses that I could go on about it all night... but I'll spare you :p
God bless!

"When did I realize i was God? i was praying, and i realized i was talking to myself." If god is real, he's in your desires (what you pray for, etc). Whatever you want to do, do it. just don't be preachy about it. that's really annoying.
