I absolutely love the entire month of December! I love decorating for Christmas, shopping for gifts to buy my family and friends, looking at Christmas lights, Ugly Christmas Sweater parties, gift exchanges, ice skating, drinking hot chocolate, spending time with loved ones, and the list could go on forever! With all the craziness that the holidays bring, it can be easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas- the birth of our Savior!
Today I wanted to take the time and share with you my favorite bible verses. These are great for when you need strength, when you feel alone, when you are struggling, when you are afraid, when you’re uncertain, when you are nervous, when you’re looking for comfort, or when you’re looking for hope. I find myself constantly going to these verses in particular because they are so empowering and comforting to me. Whenever I am in a situation that causes me great anxiety, I recite Isaiah 41:10 (my absolute favorite verse) in my head. I encourage you to memorize a few of your favorite bible verses so that you will always have them with you! Here are mine:
Isaiah 41:10
Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Please share your favorite bible verses in the comments below or on my latest instagram so we can all see them! It’s such an amazing feeling when you read a verse and it just speaks to you and what you’re going through. The other day I saw a bible verse on someone’s instagram story and after reading it, I thought wow this is exactly what I needed to hear! It’s incredible.
I hope everyone has an amazing week! And don’t forget the true meaning of this holiday season!
