I've always found Psalm 4:8 very comforting.

Also, I particularly like the perspective given in Isaiah 40 -- God is so far above us, we are so small, and He is so great and sovereign.

God be with you, friend.

The traditional John 3:16 is always a comforting phrase.
Revelation 3: 16 as well.

I don't have my bible handy, I'll check later.

I thank everyone here for the helpfull posts. Just been trying to get over stuff in life right now. Mostly been trying to focus on college and that has been tuff. Had to make sacrifices but school is the most important thing right now for me. Thanks again for the posts, i'll be checking back later.

Food for thought!
John 20:29
Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

Wow, isn't that great!
This is after meeting the diciples and Jesus is talking to "doubting" Thomas. We havn't met Jesus in person and we are already blessed!

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Very comforting. By now, you realize my post is about belief and faith. Carry on Christian soldiers.

1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaked you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it.

Fellow Christians, steel yourself against people such as these who would try to steer you away from God trying to use word tricks and stirring up things that are explained in the bible. Even so, it is comforting to know that God will not tempt us past what we as Christians can handle.

Matthew 5:38-42 The law of non-resistance
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth', but I say to you, do not resist him who is evil, but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn him the other also. And if anyone wants to sue you, and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. And whoever shall force you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you."

I'll post more over the course of time.
Hope this helps!
