Where to Find Help When:

Afraid

   The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?  Psalm 27:1

   You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.  Psalm 91:5-7

 Anxious

   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.  Philippians 4:6

 Discouraged

   Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.  Psalm 55:22

 Friends Fail

   The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.  Deuteronomy 31:8

 Facing Danger or Disaster

   He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  Psalm 91:1

 Weary

   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”  Matthew 11:28-30

 Sick or in Pain

   He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.  Matthew 8:17b

   Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.  James 5:14-15

In Need of Peace

   Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  John 14:27

 Leaving Home

   The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.  Psalm 121:7-8

 Facing a Crisis

   Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.  Hebrews 4:16

 Facing Temptation (Desire to do Wrong)

   No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.  1 Corinthians 10:13

 In Trouble

   But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.  Job 23:10

   For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.  Psalm 27:5

 Feeling Restless

   Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.  Psalm 46:10

   When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.  Psalm 94:19

 Grieving

   Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows.  Isaiah 53:4a

   Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.  Matthew 5:4

   Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.  2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Physically Tired or Exhausted

   Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;  but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.  Isaiah 40:30-31

 Feeling Far from God

   Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.  James 4:8-10

 Conscious of Sin and Guilt

   “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”  Isaiah 1:18

   If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.   1 John 1:9
