Scripture passages aren’t band-aids for gaping wounds or platitudes to bypass difficult realities, but these verses can serve as a drumbeat of daily life and battle cries when trials try to cloud God’s goodness.

​

Learn these verses, repeat them as prayers, and meditate on them when trials threaten to consume you.

 

Here’s a sample prayer based on Psalm 107:9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things:

 

Thank you, God, that satisfaction comes from your infinite resources, compassion, and steadfast love. I’m waiting and aching for an unfulfilled longing, but you fill my life with good things. Let me trust you while I wait and help me see the good things you’ve already brought into my life. Amen.
