Some months ago, my sister shared a list of encouraging bible verses with me. When she made this list of verses as part of therapy led by a Christian counselor. These verses were of great encouragement to me at that time. Yesterday I found these verses and encouragements again. I've translated these, added some of my own favorite verses and encouragements, and reorganized them a bit. I hope that these are of as much help to you as they have been to me.
Finding so much strength, encouragement, and self-worth in such an old but precious book is beautiful. If there are verses that speak especially to you, please add them as comments.
