Encouraging Bible Verses

Hi,

I am new here, but felt like maybe I could get some encourgement! I just left my job after 7 years; It was life changing to say the least! Anyways, I felt God leading me to do something from home and have found what I believe He wants me to do! The difficult part is that I have to push forward every day in discipline and faith. And it is not the type of job where I am guaranteed a set amount of money, you know, one based on my effort and time. I am a sensitive person, so it is hard to handle the ups and downs sometimes. I would like to put some encouraging scriptures up on my wall so when I feel discouraged or am simply not having a good day, it will remind me that God leads and is in control of the good and the bad! Anyone have any scripture suggestions?

Thanks so much!!!

Psalm 15:4-5 -
Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths;guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long.

Isaiah 41:13 -
I am holding you by your hand - I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, "Do not be afraid, I am here to help you."

I also have a business I run from my home. It means I have to be pretty disciplined. But I get up very early every morning, spend my quiet time with the Lord for 15-30 minutes then I'm off and running. He grounds my day, keeps me focused and helps me with my patience levels. When my patience levels run completely dry with my customers, it's time to take a day or two off.

Hi I am new here also. I searched and found quite a few Scriptures that I found very encouraging. I really hope they help you in your journey. First of all every word of John 14 has always been very encouraging to me, read it maybe you can pick out the parts that are best for you and your situation:
These are a couple that were in line with obeying God which is what you are doing so i thought you might find them helpful...
John 8:31-32 ..."If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free."

James 1:25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.

Alot of the Psalms are very encouraging but these two really stood out to me. Psalms 103 & 107
God Bless you and I will pray that you find mych encouragement in the Lords word.
