Feel Encouragement In These 5 Scriptures

      Over the last few weeks, after welcoming a new baby boy into our family, my life has been quite chaotic. I'm overwhelmed with so much love, but also with so many responsibilities. Sometimes I find myself stressed and discouraged, and ready to give up. Turning to the bible always seems to give me a warm feeling in my heart, and it takes away some of my overwhelming frustration. These are a few verses that stand out to me, and seem so comforting and encouraging.

"Though an army besiege me,
 my heart will not fear;

though war break out against me, 
even then I will be confident.
One thing I ask from the Lord,
 this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life, 
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and seek him in his temple. 
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling."

-Psalm 27:3-5-

"May the God who gives endurance
 and encouragement 

give you the same attitude of mind

toward each other that Jesus Christ had."

-Romans 15:5-

"And let us consider how 
we may spur one another on 

toward love and good deeds,

not giving up meeting together, as some

are in the habit of doing, 

but encouraging one 
another - and all the more

as you see the day approaching."

-Hebrews 10:24-25-

"The humble will see their
 God at work and be glad.

Let all who see their God's help

be encouraged."

-Psalm 69:32-

"We do not lose heart,
 but though our outer 

man is decaying, yet our
 inner man is being renewed day by day.

For momentary, light affliction
 is produced for us an 
eternal weight of glory

far beyond all comparison."

-2 Corinthians 4:16-17-
