This Sikh Leader’s Favorite Bible Verse

Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.”

When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place.

The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The Lord is with me; he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. (Ps. 118:2–8)

This is my favorite verse because it is comforting to know that when I am going through difficult times, God is carrying me in his arms. During pleasant times, I am always happy, but in times of trouble, it is reassuring that God is with me and that although I cannot see him, he is helping me. God loves me always and his love endures “forever.”

Whenever I have asked Christians to pray for me, their prayers have always worked. I have felt peace every time, a kind of peace that I never experienced before.
