We are in uncharted waters in this country. In a sense, yes, there is "nothing new under the sun" (Eccl. 1:9), but many of us have not seen our world turned upside down like it seems to be today.
But, this shouldn't surprise believers. Christ said, "In the world you will have tribulation" (John 16:33). What Scripture or promise of God gets you through difficult situations?
Here are 20 Bible verses that will comfort you.

2. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jer. 29:11).

7. "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?" (John 14:1-2).
8. "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7).
9. "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness." (James 1:2-3).
10. "Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you." (Ps. 56:1-3).
11. "I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me." (Ps. 3:5).

13. "I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!" (Ps. 27:13).
14. "But 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.
