Whenever I feel negative emotions, I try to focus on positive things. I believe in the power of the mind and affirmations are crucial for me to feel better and redirect my thoughts. Reading the scriptures makes me feel good and when I put myself in the place of the persona in the verses I read, I feel that I am the one directly being taught or comforted.
There are many wonderful verses in the scriptures* but the following are my favorites. I repeat these affirmations to myself especially when I feel sad, worried, nervous, angry, or afraid. You can also personalize your favorite verses.
