Sometimes we just need to hear something that instantly uplifts us and refreshes us in our faith. I love that if we are feeling happy and strong in the Lord, these verses only add to our joy & exhilaration, giving us even more energy to continue on in faith. These verses are just as refreshing in a different way when we are feeling slightly off course or are experiencing a low mood. We can be invigorated so quickly by focusing on the Lord & if we haven’t slipped very far, He gets us right back on track.
Here are some verses that I always find exhilarating and encouraging:
Take My yoke and upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:29-30

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law He meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not whither; and whatever he does shall prosper. Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. Psalm 2:12

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, You have set Your glory above the heavens! When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of Him, and the son of man that You visit Him? Psalm 8:1, 3-4
