Favorite Passage College Days
But now, this what the Lord says - He who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by my name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..." Isaiah 43:1-3
This last passage is one that I relied heavily on during the early years of my marriage. We had friends with serious needs and we ourselves struggled with wanting a child in the worst way. After 5 years of struggle God blessed us with Molly Katherine, and then 6 months after she was born we found out we were pregnant with Wes. Our 2 miracles! This passage got me through all of that and continues to sustain me.
Be joyful ALWAYS; pray CONTINUALLY; give thanks in ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. I Thessalonians 5:16-18

Now I understand why Matt wants everyone at FBC Waco to share the passages that we find important. I'm like you; I couldn't narrow it down to one. So I picked the 7 or 8 that I'm clinging to this summer during my job search. :)
