Verses to hold when you're fighting something you can't seem to put down, and when you just want to get closer to God.
When You Feel Bound
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
"He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains."
For the Battle With Addiction
"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out."
"For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace."
"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
When You Need a New Start
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"
Drawing Closer to God
"Come near to God and he will come near to you."
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
