Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a lovely morning, afternoon, or evening! Over the past year, I’ve been running to scripture for encouragement and lifelines time and time again. Turns out, you become well-acquainted with God and His promises when you turn to Him; who would’a guessed?
Now, I have a lot of passages that I found, so I’m splitting this into two parts, this one has passages and verses from the Old Testament. Enjoy!

Psalm 16:6, 10-11

"The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance... For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let Your holy one see corruption.

May He remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! May He grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! May we shout for joy over Your slavation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions! Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving might of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright."

Psalm 30

"I will extol You, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You have healed me. O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. Sing praises to the LORD, O you His saints, and give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, and His favor is for a lifestime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. As for me, I said in my prosperity, 'I shall never be moved.' By Your favor, O LORD, You made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face; I was dismayed. To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the LORD I plead for mercy; 'What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it tell of Your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be meriful to me! O LORD, be my helper!' You have turned my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing Your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever!"

Psalm 143

"Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In Your faithfulness answer, in Your righteousness! Enter not into judgement with Your servant, for no one living is righteous before You. For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that You have done; I ponder the work of Your hands. I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Answer me quickly, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of Your steadfast love, for in You I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul. Deliver me from my ebemies, O LORD! I have fled to You for refugre. Teach me to do Your will, for you are my God! Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground! For Your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life! In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble! And in Your steadfast love You will cut off my enemies, and You will destroy all the adversaries of my soul, for I am your servant."
