How to Use These Verses
Write a few of these verses on index cards or in a notes app, and place them somewhere you will see them, such as your bathroom mirror, your desk or the inside of a planner. Choose one verse each week and return to it several times, so that it becomes familiar rather than a one-time read.
Pair your reading with prayer. Read the verse, pause, and speak back to God what it stirred in you, whether that is gratitude, grief or a request. Over time you may find these verses ready at hand on the evenings and mornings when comfort is most needed.
