I really like Philippians 4:6-9
Do not 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. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. |

good one, sandy! and thanks austin. :]
i said i liked micaiah jabez, so here's my scripture for jabez:
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. - 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
i read a book last year called "the Prayer of Jabez for Teens". it basically commentated on those specific verses. most of you can agree that chronicles are REALLY boring books, haha. and, by the name, it really only chronicles the lineage of the kings. so you're reading through it, mulling along, and all of a sudden, jabez pops up. and (the book i read put it well) the writer immediately says to himself, "i better put down more about this guy, he was a good one." and i love that jabez cried out, he didn't just ask. he pleaded with God.
so my first son's name will (probably, considering i'm doing 9/10 of the work, i'd say i have a pretty good chance on naming rights!) be micaiah jabez. outspoken, unashamed, and honorable.

I love so many verses I cant pic a fav - but one of mine is Phil. 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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." - I freak out about EVERYTHING so this verse keeps me going through it all

I love all these verses, especially the one in Philippians. I have a lot of favorite verses but here's one i really like: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings as eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint"- Isaiah 40:31
I also like the one from Jeremiah 29:11, the one that talks about the plans that God has for your life, and the verse where God tells you that: "For surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age."  It is so comforting |

| My friend just told me this one: Galatians 2.20, "My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." |

Don't even start me on baby names!! I have 3 pages written in my diary (yes, first and middle names)..........
My favourite verse....
Ezekiel 36:26 - "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh..."
I really liked that one. |

There's just a couple. I have WAY more girl's names than boys. Guess I plan on lots of girls!  And some of them I wrote down about 2 years ago - when I had a phase of making up names. Seriously, some of them are REALLY far out!!

my fav is probably psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
and i also like the Prayer of Jabez. It's really cool because your not just asking god for one thing but for him to do whatever he wants with your life.
"think of it this way: instead of standing near the river's edge, asking for a cup of water to get you through each day, you'll do something unthinkable- you will take the little prayer with th giant pize and jump into the river!
Chap 1
Prayer of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson

What's another word for "thesaurus"?
Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs.
What disease did cured ham actually have?
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
these are the questions i'll ask when i get to heaven |

that's Isaiah 6:8:
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Oh man, there's some amazing verses here. I love seeing how the Word affects people differently. It shows God's personal relationships with us, I think.
My life verse changes about every week. Right now: "Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:8. Really just allowing God's will in our lives. I try to control my life a little too much sometimes.
I also really communicate with God through music. It's huge to me. MewithoutYou songs like "Four Word Letter (Part Two)" and "Carousels". Ugh, so many. I would post lyrics, but it would take up everything. Music is amazing, that's all. [= |

| Aw I love that verse Lydia-jayne! It reminds me of the Donut Man! Did any of you every watch him when you were little? There was this one time that they visited a potter and they started singing that song, "You are the Potter, I am the clay, make me and mold me, this is what I pray." And I absolutely love that song cuz it just brings me back to being a little girl. That song had such an impact on me when I was really really young and I just love to see how God was with me even before I really understood Him. He comforted me with that song when my world was perfect as an innocent little girl. We acutally sang the song at a school retreat ( i go to a Christian School btw) and I sang each word as my prayer. When I first heard the song I didn't understand what it meant to let the Potter truely mold you, I didn't really know what I was singing, but when we sang it then I could just see the video playing in my mind and just thought, "God, yes, this really is my prayer." So totally amazing verse! THankyou!!! |

i also love:
1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.
~ Psalm 13
absolutely love it, because it's basically been my life story over the past 9 months. :] |

@MyLifeHisWill - Haha, no I have never heard of the Donut Man. I'm sorry, it sounds great though. [=
That's awesome that you had that song (and verse) with you since you were so young! That's comforting because I teach three and four year olds once a week at church and I get so discouraged that they're not learning. Obviously, some things stay with us and that's awesome that you can still apply that to your life now. It's the Living Word. Truly amazing!
Thanks for sharing that story.

| Aw no problem. I've gone to a Christian school my whole life, and I teach lil kids too and sometimes I feel like they get it for five minutes and then thier attention span is gone and they forget, however, I love to see how God did impact me through what i've been taught. I know Psalm 23 by heart because we memorized it in 1st grade and now it gets me through so much and I'm so glad I was taught it way back then. I still have songs from VBS, that are corny and childish, that I STILL sing sometimes because those songs really spoke to me! This year I had the 1st and 2nd graders in my VBS class and the music was my favorite part, even tho the songs were very childish, the truths they had spoke to me, even at 14! It was so great to get all the little girls dancing with me too, becuase i know that one of these days God will use that lil silly song to really speak to them. So yea, little kids really do hear from God, sometimes they dont get it, but its those little seeds that will be with them when thier older that are so so so important. |

I have a few.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:6-7
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
James 1:12
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve if what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2
And sooo many more but there are a few!  |
