10 Bible Verses That Prove Your Life Has Value

Welcome to Day 3 of 31 Days of Battling Anxiety with Biblical Truth!

Your life has value. Your life has value. Your life has value.

I hope you have been repeating yesterday’s truth to yourself often. Today will be a quick post, because I am on the way to Connection Ministry at East Carolina University to deliver this very message tonight. I covet your prayers for these dear college students as they soak up the truth that their lives matter.

But as you and I battle on in this series, here are ten verses that prove you are loved, chosen, and valuable.

Read them throughout the day. Return to them when you feel anxious. Share them with a friend who needs to hear these words for herself. Enjoy!

Curious about this 31 Days thing? There are hundreds of other writers joining the challenge to write every day for the month of October. The topics range from faith and inspiration to home and family to everything under the sun. Every few days during our anxiety series, I’ll be introducing you to some of these amazing writers.

Today, I’d like you to meet my friend, Meredith. She’s writing about finding peace in the chaos of our lives. If you are seeking anxiety-free living, I think you’ll enjoy what she has to offer.

For now, I’m off to ECU! Until tomorrow, carry on warriors!
