2020 verses

Here's a reminder of the verses I'm holding on to for 2020 - this is a reminder for me more than anything...




Hebrews 13:5 I will never leave you nor forsake you.


Deuteronomy 31:8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.


Matthew 7:7-8, 9-11 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for.
Keep on seeking, and you will find.
Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives.
Everyone who seeks, finds.
And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

“You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?
Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.


I have 2 translations for this one...

1 Peter 5:6-7 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God,

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We are pressed on every side by troubles,
but we are not crushed or broken.
We are perplexed
but we don't give up & quit.

but God never abandons us.
We get knocked down
but we get up again & keep going.
Through suffering, these bodies of ours constantly share in the death of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.


Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek His will in all you do,

Instead, fear the Lord & turn your back on evil.
Then you will gain renewed health & vitality.


Ephesians 3:20 By His mighty power at work within us,

leading me to a glorious destiny.

My health may fail,
& my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
He is mine forever.
