Verses for the Wilderness & Rebuilding
These are scriptures I return to often. Verses for the wilderness seasons, the rebuilding seasons, and the days when you need strength to keep going.
Some are for healing.
Some are for courage.
Some are for peace.
Some are for remembering that God is still working, even when you cannot see it yet.

Note on Bible Translations
For this page, I use short scripture excerpts with references rather than long full passages.
Some Bible translations have copyright guidelines, so when using translations like: NIV, AMP, NLT, NKJV or TPT, it’s best to use shorter excerpts, include the reference, and/or add a personal reflection in your own words.
The goal of this page isn’t to overwhelm you with long passages. It’s to give you a place to begin, return, reflect, and let God’s Word meet you in the season you are walking through.
