Here are some quotations from the Bible which many people have found helpful, comforting, or encouraging in difficult times.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2
A note from the site author: There's an old saying: "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." Well, I Peter chapter 1 is the "knot in the end of my rope," especially the following passage:
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
I thought it might encourage others as well.

4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you,
5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last
time.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7 These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be
proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled
with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. I Peter 1: 3-9, NIV
