What are your "Go to" Scriptures?


I have found gem after beautiful gem in the scriptures when I was least expecting it. Due to the circumstances in my life at those times, they spoke to me with greater power and, really, changed my life. They are now my go-to scriptures!
What are your go to scriptures? The ones that you go to when you are feeling troubled or need a pick-me-up? When you need perspective?
Here are a few of mine. Please, share yours!

Hebrews 11:39-40
(Speaking of those who were faithful, righteous and endured much hardship) "And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better things for them through their sufferings, for without sufferings they could not be made perfect."

Hebrews 10:32, 35
"But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions...
"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward."

Doctrine and Covenants 6:14
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, blessed art thou for what thou has done; for thou hast inquired of me, and behold, as of often as thou hast inquired, thou hast received instruction of my Spirit. If it had not been so, though wouldst not have come to the place where thou art at this time."

Phillippians 4:12-13
"I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound; every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
"I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me."

Mormon 9:21
"Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this is the promise unto all, even unto the ends of the earth."

Cheers!
