My favorite Bible verse is one that got me through one of the toughest times of my life...my miscarriage. I would read it and know that there was hope that I would have another child. In fact, the time around the miscarriage is when I felt closest to God.
A few days after the whole ordeal, I was on my way to our church for a meeting about my oldest son's upcoming preschool class. I was praying to God on that ride and telling him that I had hope that I'd have another child and that this would never happen again. After having that thought, I came upon my church and saw a rainbow over it. I was moved to tears. I knew this was God telling me it would NOT happen again. Just as it was his promise once before. And the funny thing was that it hadn't rained that day.
Two months later I got pregnant with my son Maddox.
So here is my favorite verse:
"And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:2-5
