Questions About The Bible

Absolutely. Healing isn't the absence of sadness; it's the process of the pain becoming less overwhelming. There will be good days and bad days. Feeling sad is a normal part of grieving what was lost. Be patient with yourself and trust that God is binding up your wounds, even on the days it doesn't feel like it.

Absolutely. In fact, that's the best time to use them. Verses like 2 Corinthians 12:9 are powerful because they remind us that God's strength works best when we feel weak. Think of these verses not as something you have to live up to, but as a source of power you can draw from, especially on tough days.

That's something we all struggle with. The Bible's answer is that we can't do it on our own. 1 John 4:19 says, "We love, because he first loved us." By focusing on and accepting God's agape love for us, He gives us the ability to show that same love to others, even when it's difficult.

‍

That's a struggle we all face. Verses like 1 John 4:7 remind us that "love is of God." This means we can ask Him for His love for that person, because our own love runs out. It's about letting His love flow through us.

When a relationship is struggling, the Bible gives us a clear path forward. Verses like Colossians 3:13 remind us that forgiveness is not optional, but essential. It calls us to be humble, patient, and to bear with one another, even when it's difficult, modeling the same grace God has given us.

The Bible gives us a bigger "why" for our work. A great verse for this is Colossians 3:23, which encourages us to "work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." This reframes our perspective: our effort in studying isn't just for a teacher or a grade, but it's an act of worship and a way to honor God with our abilities.

The Bible gives us a few clear steps. First, we can read His promises in scripture to remind our hearts of His power and presence. Second, we can pray, turning those verses into a direct conversation with Him. Finally, verses like Isaiah 40:31 teach us the importance of "waiting on the Lord," which means actively trusting in His timing and character, knowing that He will renew our strength when we rely on Him.

The Bible helps by giving us hope and perspective. It reminds us that our feelings are valid, that God is with us in our pain (Psalm 34:18), and that this life is not the end (Revelation 21:4). It provides a solid foundation of hope that helps us move toward healing.

This is one of the toughest questions we face. In the Bible, especially in the life of Jesus, we see God's desire for wholeness and healing. Jesus healed almost everyone who came to him. But we also live in a broken world, and we don't always understand God's timing or His full plan. Our part is to trust His goodness, keep praying for healing, and hold onto His peace, no matter what the outcome looks like right now.

Yes. We see so many people in the Bible, like Job and David (in the Psalms), who were honest with God about their anger and confusion. He is strong enough to handle our real feelings. He would rather us be honest with Him than pull away from Him.

Yes, absolutely. The Bible is full of examples of people asking God for physical healing, and it's something we are encouraged to do. The book of James specifically tells us to "pray for one another, that you may be healed."

All scripture is valuable, but some verses are especially direct and bold in their promises. We call them "powerful" because they are great for speaking out loud (declaring) when you're feeling fearful or need a boost of confidence. A verse like Romans 8:31—"If God is for us, who can be against us?"—is a powerful truth that helps silence doubt.

That's a very common question, as those verses are near some of these. The main theme of the entire passage is mutual respect. That's why we included Ephesians 5:21 ("Submitting to one another") in this list. It sets the stage for a partnership where both people humbly love and serve each other.

Waiting is often the hardest part. The Bible encourages us to keep praying and to be honest with God about our feelings. He can handle our frustration and fear. It's also a time to stay close to a supportive community and to keep reading His promises. It's an active process of building our trust and learning to lean on His strength, not just our own.

It means that when we are in pain, God doesn't stand far off. He draws closer to us. We can experience His nearness as a feeling of peace, a sense of comfort, or just the strength to get through another day. It's an active, personal presence, not just a nice idea.

It means that love is His main characteristic. Everything He does (His patience, His forgiveness, His sacrifice) comes from His loving nature. It's not just one of His qualities; it's who He is at His core.

The Bible shows us that a healthy relationship (whether friendship or marriage) is built on mutual respect, kindness, and forgiveness (Ephesians 4:32). It’s about "preferring one another" (Romans 12:10) and helping to make each other better, like "iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17).

The Bible has a lot of encouragement for when we feel overwhelmed. A powerful promise is found in Isaiah 40:29, where it says, "He gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might he increases strength." This is a solid reminder that when our own energy and motivation run out, God is ready to provide the strength we need to keep going.

‍That's a very real and common feeling, so please know you're not alone in that. Our emotions can be all over the place, especially when our heart is broken, and they don't always line up with the truth. The most important thing to remember is that God's promises (like "He is near") are true even when we don't feel them. Our job isn't to force a feeling; it's just to hold on to the truth. Keep reading one small verse. Keep talking to Him, even if you just say, "God, I'm not feeling you right now." Trust that He is at work, binding up your wounds, even when you can't see or feel it.

A really helpful verse for dealing with the stress of exams is Philippians 4:6, which tells us not to be anxious about anything, but to bring our requests to God. It's a practical reminder to turn our worries about grades and performance into prayers, trusting that God will give us the peace we need to focus.

Song of Solomon 2:16 ("My beloved is mine, and I am his") is a beautiful, short, and popular choice. Proverbs 18:22 ("He who finds a wife finds a good thing") is also a wonderful, positive option.

A really good one to start with is 1 Corinthians 16:14: "Let all that you do be done in love." It's short, easy to remember, and it gives us a clear goal for our entire day.

Biblical love is very different from the world's. It's not just a feeling; it's a selfless action. Verses like Ephesians 5:25 (for marriage) and 1 John 3:16 (for friends) define love as a willingness to sacrifice for the other person, putting their needs and well-being first.

Many people would point to John 3:16. But when Jesus was asked a similar question, he gave two verses: to love God with all your heart (Mark 12:30) and to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31). He called these the greatest commandments.

While many people find incredible power in verses like Isaiah 41:10, the "most powerful" verse is often a personal one that speaks to your specific situation. Many also lean on Philippians 4:13. We encourage you to read through the full list to find the promise that resonates most deeply with you.

This is one of the hardest parts of faith. While the Bible shows us that God has the power to heal, it doesn't always happen in the way or on the timeline we expect. In these moments, verses about perseverance and trust are just as important. We are encouraged to keep praying and to find our peace in His presence, knowing He is still with us in the midst of our suffering.

That is a completely normal feeling, and it's okay. God understands our pain. On days when reading feels like too much, try just listening. You can find audio versions of the Psalms. Or, just pick one single short verse, like "The LORD is near," and hold onto that one thought. Be gentle with yourself.

A simple and powerful verse is 3 John 1:2, which says, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, even as your soul prospers." It's a warm, caring, and direct prayer for their total well-being, which makes it a wonderful message of support.

A great, practical tip is to pick just one verse that stands out to you. Write it down on a sticky note and put it on your bathroom mirror, your car's dashboard, or make it your phone's lock screen. Seeing a powerful promise like Isaiah 41:10 throughout the day is a simple way to keep it in your mind for when you need it most.

That's a great question. We see the Bible talk about both. Physical healing is about our bodies, being cured of sickness or pain, like when Jesus healed the blind. Spiritual healing is about our inner selves, being healed from sin, shame, or disconnection from God. The great thing is that God cares about both. He wants us to be whole, in body and spirit.

While promises of God's strength are found throughout the entire Bible, two books are especially powerful for this topic. The book of Psalms is filled with personal prayers and cries for strength in the midst of trouble. The book of Isaiah is packed with bold, prophetic promises of God's power to uphold and strengthen His people. Exploring both is a great way to get a well-rounded view of biblical strength.

You can find beautiful verses in many books, but Proverbs and Ephesians are two of the best. Proverbs is full of wisdom for building a life together (like Proverbs 3:3-4). Ephesians gives a clear and beautiful picture of what a patient, loving, and unified partnership looks like (like Ephesians 4:32).
