The Christians First Aid Kit
Go to Scriptures in times of trouble
More than likely you have some kind
of First Aid kit. They are certainly handy and convenient to have around the
house or when you go on vacation or some other outing away from home. There are
a few basic items in my First Aid kit that I have found helpful: Bandages of
various sizes, antiseptic cream, tweezers, gauze, scissors, tape, painkiller, Benadryl,
and alcohol wipes. When you have some type of emergency, these are life savers!
As a Christian you need a spiritual
first aid kit of sorts, you need some “go to” Scriptures that can readily be
prayed in your time of need or trouble. Following are ten (10) Bible passages
that every Christian should become very familiar with and to hide in your heart
so that you can access them and pray anytime, anywhere, and in any situation. They
are life savers!

sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from
all unrighteousness.”
