Emergency Phone Numbers

Yes, this is a forward I got through e-mail. But I like it and I think it does a good job of picking out scripture to read in different situations. I am not sure who originally authored this, but it was not me.

Suffering, call 1 Peter 5:10-11, Isaiah 61:3
When in sorrow, call John 14
When men fail you, call Psalm 27
If you want to be fruitful, call John 15
When you have sinned, call Psalm 51
When you worry, call Matthew 6:19-34
When you are in danger, call Psalm 91
When God seems far away, call Psalm 139
When your faith needs stirring, Hebrews 11
When you are lonely and fearful, call Psalm 23
When you grow bitter and critical, call 1 Corinthians 13
For Paul's secret to happiness, call Colossians 3:12-17
For ideas of Christianity, call 1 Corinthians 5:15-19
When you feel down and out, call Romans 8:31-39
When you want peace and rest, call Matthew 11:25-30
When the world seems bigger than God, call Psalm 90
When you leave home for travel, call Psalm 121
When your prayers grow narrow or selfish, call Psalm 67
For great invention/opportunity, call Isaiah 55
When you want courage for a task, call Joshua 1
How to get along with fellowmen, call Romans 12
When you think of investments/returns, call Mark 10
If you are depressed, call Psalm 27
If your pocketbook is empty, call Psalm 37
If you're losing confidence in people, call 1 Corinthians 13
If people seem unkind, call John 15
If discouraged about work, call Psalm 126
If you find the world growing small and yourself great, call Psalm 19

Here are a couple of my additional scriptures for different scenarios:
If you are in need of comforting, read Psalm 91 and Matthew 11:25-end
If you are not sure of where you stand in God's eyes, read 1 John (the epistle, not gospel)
If you need reassurance of what is important to God, read Galatians
If you need comfort that God will forever love you, read John 3:16

Next week I was thinking of blogging about modesty. But if there's a different topic you'd like to hear about then let me know!!

Blessings in Christ,
