This is intended to be a discussion on the Bible. If you do not subscribe to the Bible or Christianity - please move on to the next post. I respect your right to believe as you will - please respect mine.
We all have our highs and lows as we wore or are still wearing the cloth of our Nation. During the tough times, i.e., deployments, family separation, divorce, loss, or many other things that affect so many - what particular Bible passages sustained you and helped you through it?
During my combat deployments, Psalms 91 was a passage I would frequently read. When I was going through a divorce, Revelations 21:1-4 was something I read everyday.
What particular Bible passages have you held close during your tough times?

IS 40:31 "Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary."
has helped me through many circumstances. The Lord has brought that verse to my mind many times over the decades. In recent years, I have seen Him heal my wife of Lyme disease after doctors and insurance gave up hope. He has healed her scalp and also one infected fingernail. He has been telling me to wait since June 17, 2013. In that time I have seen Him resurrect three hopeless marriages. I have learned to ask Him to do what it takes since He knows exactly what each of us needs and He is perfect in Love, Grace, Mercy and Justice.
When I have been bombarded in my thoughts I have pleaded for the Helmet of salvation to protect my mind.
PHIl 4:8 is also very useful when battles of the mind are looming "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."

What I like about the words renew and restore in the Old Testament is that it didn't mean being refurbished - but that we would be taken back as if the damage was never done at all. Psalms 23:3 says "He restoreth my soul..." - that word means "rolled back" to a brand-new status.
