    You could try a Bible search for the topic "encouragement" or "hope" use the Topic Guide and add verses to a Passage List to share. If it's helpful, here's a Passage List for comfort and encouragement I keep handy, not necessarily in a specific order: Psalm 34:18 Psalm 46:1 Isaiah 41:10 Psalm 147:3 Psalm 40:1–3 Matthew 11:28–30 Romans 15:13 Psalm 30:5 Jeremiah 29:11 Lamentations 3:22–23 Nehemiah 8:10 Deuteronomy 31:8 Joshua 1:9 Psalm 23:4 Psalm 31:24 Psalm 32:8 Psalm 121:1–2 Isaiah 40:31 Isaiah 43:2 Isaiah 51:12 Luke 12:6–7 John 14:27 John 16:33 Romans 8:31 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 2 Corinthians 1:5 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 Revelation 7:16–17
