Passages by situation
Gathered by hand, not by matching words.
Each of these is a set of passages chosen for a situation. They are not search results, and the word you are looking for may not appear in any of them.
- FearPassages people have turned to when they were afraid, and when they needed to be told not to be.
- Worry and anxietyThe word anxiety does not appear in the King James Version. These are the passages about carrying what you cannot put down.
- GriefPassages for mourning. Several of them are simply God being near, without an explanation attached.
- LonelinessPassages about being alone, and about not being.
- Being forgivenPassages about forgiveness received. Kept separate from forgiving somebody else, because they are different burdens.
- Forgiving someonePassages about forgiving another person. Hard ones, mostly, and none of them say it is easy.
