Ecclesiastes 4:4 does it for me. Whenever I'm getting too anxious, I just read it and remember that things often don't matter much in the grand scheme of things. All is vanity.

Hmmm. How badly we need help when feeling inadequate! And how soothing it is to actually find someone who could lend a helping hand!

Exactly. Not having to worry is so important that it almost cannot be overemphasized.

Hmmm. This is nice. Knowing when to keep silent and when to speak can be tricky. It's a skill.

Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. This has been very comforting to me during this great time of unrest in our country.

I can relate. A reassurance that it isn't bad to be a peacemaker.

This part of the book was encouraging. A verse that has personally carried me through was mentioned in this book as well. Romans 8:28. My paraphrase: God will work ALL things out for the good of those who love him.

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

A very popular one is also Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13 is my favourite one

It's the favorite of many.
