5 Bible Verses to Steady Your Soul on Hard Days

May 17, 2025

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. – Psalm 34:18

If your heart feels weary today—if you’re carrying more than you can hold, or waking up with a grief that doesn’t seem to lift—I want you to know: you are not alone.

I’ve walked through hard stories I never would have chosen. I’ve cried out for strength I didn’t have. And through it all, there were five verses I returned to again and again—verses that reminded me God is still near, still good, and still working.

Today, I’d love to gift them to you.

These are the words that have steadied my soul when life unraveled. Print them. Tape them to your mirror. Read them aloud when your breath is short and your heart is overwhelmed.

And if your soul is hungry for even more daily peace and grounding, I’d love to invite you to explore something I created just for you.

The Daily Hope Journal is a 30-day printable devotional designed for women walking through grief, anxiety, chronic illness, or any kind of heartache.


It’s Scripture. It’s prayer. It’s one small step of hope—every day

You don’t have to have it all together. You just need a place to start.

And sometimes, hope begins with one verse.

I’m rooting for you, always.

Heather
