What's that Bible verse you turn back to when you are struggling?

Going through one of the most difficult times in my life right now. I would like to read some of your favorite Bible verses or the ones that speak to you the most when you're feeling blue. It would mean a lot to me.

It depends on what kind of struggles I am dealing with, but one passage that means a lot to me is 2 Corinthians 7-9.

Paul writes about being given a thorn in the flesh, and how he begged God three times to have it removed, but God answered " My grace is enough for you, for in weakness power reaches perfection."

This tells me that Paul himself had his struggles. Whatever they were, it sounds as if they were never fully resolved. And yet look at how his life glorified God.

There is a resolution in the scripture 2 Corinthians 12:8-10

8 I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me. 9 But[j] he said to me, “My grace is enough[k] for you, for my[l] power is made perfect[m] in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly[n] about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in[o] me. 10 Therefore I am content with[p] weaknesses, with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and difficulties[q] for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
