Most Comforting Bible Verses

Posted by tom | Sep 14, 2008

I'm part of a list in which several participants posted their most comforting bible verses.  Below's one extended set of contributions.  I return again and again to Psalm 23 in my daily walk through physical issues of my own and Eden.  When stepping back, the bigger picture of what I live in are the passages mentioned below from John, Hebrews 12, and the later passages from Revelation giving a picture of the new heavens and new earth, i.e., our destination after all the trials of this broken world.  Do you have particular texts to which you return in a time of difficulty, distress, testing?
