## About these pages

Every verse is quoted from the World English Bible, a modern English translation in the public domain, and the text on each page is copied from it word for word, never retyped. The reference sits under each quote, so you can read the passage around it in any Bible you own.

The verses are chosen for one situation at a time: what you are fighting tonight, not a general list. Each page says what the passages mean in their context, gives one verse to hold on to when you have no time to read, and ends with a short prayer you can say as it is.

These pages are a help, not a replacement for a church, a pastor or a counselor. If you feel hopeless or think about hurting yourself, call or text 988 in the United States, or your local emergency number.
