When you are down, what’s your favorite bible verse(s) to read or remember?

There are so many verses in the Bible that can apply to any negative situation that it’s hard to pinpoint one that consistently comes to mind whenever I’m going through. But when I’m down, it helps me to remember Philippians 4:4-7—“Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do no be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

This scripture reminds me that regardless of what I’m going through, I should always praise God and not allow the situation to stir my emotions out of control. When dealing with hardships in school or drama with friends, family, or guys, I try to remember that God has everything in control. Once I understand that, I’m at peace, knowing things will work out in His favor, which means they’ll work out in my favor as well.
