I hope that this guide will serve you well when you need scripture to direct and encourage you in the upcoming year (and beyond). It provides references, sorted by relatable common circumstances. I pray it will push you to read further and dig deeper. Maybe some will be committed to your memory.
To my friends who are new to all of this:
You can copy/paste and search any of these references (maybe try BibleGateway.com). There are also many (free) Bible apps. But if you would like an actual hard copy of the Bible and don’t have one, please let me know. I would be happy to help you get one!
