One of our journals that we had to write was about our favorite verse in the Bible. The one passage that never fails to comfort me is Psalms 23:
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
The thing I like about this chapter is the promises that God gives us. He promises that He'll always be with me, no matter where I go. Overall, this chapter in Psalms describes God's overwhelming love for each one of us. Whenever I'm feeling a little sad or frustrated about anything, I just need to read this passage in the Bible and I'm reminded of just how much God cares for me. If God is with me, and if He's always looking out for me, then nothing else can overwhelm me.

Great, Jeremy! It is amazing how the Bible offers so much comfort, if we will take the time to get into it - which you do, I see! Well done!
