Go-to Verses

I don't really like the idea of a favorite verse or life verse.  There is just so many amazing, wonderful verses in the Bible that I don't see the point in saying, "this one is my favorite."  Instead, I like to have lots of different verses I can turn to in certain situations.  Here are a few of my go-to verses:

When I need a reminder of the importance of God's Word I turn to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

I have found great comfort in almost any situation in life in Psalm 19:12-14 "Who can discern His errors? Forgive my hidden faults.  Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.  Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.  May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."

One verse that often I use to remind me to turn to God is Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men."


I really love the promises God makes to us.  When can't understand why something is happening or times are tough I often turn to Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."


I don't have a favorite verse.  I have go-to verses (and much more than just these four).
