Best Bible Verses for Serenity
Life can be very tough sometimes. Right now especially. Many people are juggling either multiple jobs or unemployment, unfamiliar work-from-home challenges, innumerable financial, familial, and relational pressures — all while navigating through a global pandemic and civil unrest. It is no wonder we find ourselves begging for a moment of peace and tranquility.
Well thank goodness that, come rain or shine, we’ve got the Word of God — the Holy Bible — to lift, comfort, and give us the mental and emotional rest our soul requires. The divinely inspired Word of God offers a vast array of hope-filled and encouraging verses that fill us with an inner peace and quiet we can’t find elsewhere. According to Jesus, this kind of peace is not like what the world gives (Jn 14:27). It is a divine peace – a supernatural peace that transcends the world’s capabilities and our own limited understanding. And, this kind of peace is also God’s deepest desire for every one of us to behold. The overall message is clear: Slow down, My Child, and take a deep breath. Open your heart and trust Me. As you seek Me, I will reward you with an inner peace that will transform your life.
When you have a few extra minutes, find a quiet room and read through these verses. Spend time prayerfully meditating on them. And pay attention to the ones that speak peace and calm to your Spirit; the ones you feel connected to. It will be these verses that lead you in the way in which you should go. The way of serenity. A place we so desperately need to visit from time to time.
So, sit back, relax, and allow your Heavenly Father’s divinely inspired Words to engulf your Spirit, guide you, and fill you with His presence, promises, and, yes, His peace.
Best Bible Verses for Serenity
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely He will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in You.
Your Word, Lord, is eternal;
it stands firm in the Heavens.
Your faithfulness continues through all generations;
You established the earth, and it endures.
Blessed are the gentle [peaceful], for they shall inherit the earth.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
for You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be His people and God Himself will always be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, [for] the old order has passed away.” The One who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write these Words down, for they are trustworthy and true.”
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the Light [God’s children] and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have gained access [by faith] to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.
[B]ecause of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from Heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His love endures forever.
Job 22:21-22
Yield now and be at peace with Him;
thereby good will come to you.
Please receive instruction from His mouth
and establish His Words in your heart.
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His Name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
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 receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.
Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
Final takeaways from Heaven:
“Beloved, do not be surprised that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as if something strange were happening to you. But rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when His glory is revealed you may also rejoice exultantly” –1 Peter 4:12-13.
“Finally, brothers [and sisters], rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you” –2 Corinthians 13:11.
