10 Verses For a Bad Day

Sometimes we don’t just have bad days but we have bad weeks, bad months, bad years or bad seasons of life.  During these times, we can feel out of control and in need of encouragement to make it through another long day.

God’s Word is alive and active – it speaks into the darkness and brings light to our soul, joy to our sorrows, hope in despair and strength to our weary bones.


Here’s 10 Verses For When You Are Having a Bad Day

1.) Remember, the Lord is near.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
    and saves the crushed in spirit.
~Psalm 34:18
2.)  God is with you and He loves you.
The Lord your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
~Zephaniah 3:17

3.) You are in a spiritual battle – be strong in the Lord!
Be strong in the Lord
and in the strength of his might.
~Ephesians 6:10
4.) You are not alone.
It is the Lord who goes before you.
He will be with you;
he will not leave you or forsake you.
Do not fear or be dismayed.
~Deuteronomy 31:8
5.)  Give your worries to Jesus.
Cast all your anxieties on him,
because he cares for you.
~1 Peter 5:7

 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
~Matthew 11:28-30

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

We rejoice in our sufferings,
knowing that suffering produces endurance,
and endurance produces character,
and character produces hope.

that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation.
But take heart; I have overcome the world.
~John 16:33
10.)  God is present with you. Let Him be your refuge and strength.
God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
