Season 1 Episode 7: "So You Had a Bad Day"
One of the strategies we discussed was meditating on Scripture. I asked some friends for verses that they turn to during a bad day & received a LOT of suggestions. Hopefully, these will help you as much as they have me!
~Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath~Philippians 4:8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.~2 Corinthians 12:9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.Colossians 4:5-6~Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.2 Corinthians 10:5~We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,~James 1:2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,~Galatians 6:9And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.Ephesians 4:26~Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,Ephesians 4:29~Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.~Psalm 61~Psalm 46:10“Be still, and know that I am God.I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth!”~Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me.~Joshua 24:15But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.~John 14:1Let not your hearts be troubled.
