this too shall pass bible verses quotes

Whenever you see small problems starting to ruin a great day, say to yourself – THIS TOO SHALL PASS. Read some Bible verses and quotes to inspire you. Pray and believe that even the most terrible storms shall pass away.

“God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” – 1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB

There are times when we give up not because we cannot bear the present pain, but because we think that our difficulties will no longer come to an end and we feel afraid of facing our future suffering.

Try not to worry about the things yet to come. Bear only the present troubles, pray, and receive the grace to overcome your present trials.

Though your problems be great, think how God’s power is greater. Though your troubles seem endless, think how God is so merciful that He will not let you face more pain than you can bear. God is compassionate and loving. He watches over us, supports us though we cannot see Him and gives us always the grace to overcome the challenges coming our way.

“Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.”
– Teresa of Ávila

for the first things have passed away.”

Poems by Jocelyn Soriano related to “This Too Shall Pass”

“Darkness Fades”

Darkness comes
But it will pass
It cannot last
It can never prevail.

Only light endures,
Only love.
And in the end,
There is only light.

We weep now,
But we hope.
We groan in pain,
But we carry on.

We work in the dark,
But we shall reap in the light.
And though we die, we live.
And we shall always rise.

“It’s Just a Matter of Time”

When grief looms over like a cloud,
and your heart gets broken,
and your spirit’s down,
When it seems like happiness
is but a distant dream,
and it loses its meaning
where it cannot be seen.

And we are lost where it’s dark,
without a song in our hearts,
and we couldn’t believe
it would all pass away.
If we could only hold on to a rhyme,
which could make us remember the light,
then morning might not be so far away,
it’s just a matter of time.

If we could imagine once more,
what joys are in store
with the rising of another day,
If we could only hear again
that gentle voice in the wind
reminding us that dawn is already near,
Won’t we break out into songs
and cheer each other on
and say it’s just a matter of time?
Won’t we be able to bear
the darkness we are in,
knowing it couldn’t help but end
and it’s just a matter of when!

And though the dawn is yet to come,
and the night is yet to end,
though our pain still lingers,
and our wounds are yet to heal,
We rejoice with our hopes,
as though they’ve already come,
certain that our prayers were heard
and it’s just a matter of time.

“Passing Through”

When I lose my courage
He gives me hope
when I lose my footing
He gives me steady ground.

Whenever I stumble
He is there
whenever I’m weak
He becomes my strength.

Who am I
without Him,
What do I do
without His love?

This terrible longing within me
is killing me
this aching for true love
bids me to come home soon.

O how sick am I with love
how the desire for His vision consumes me!
When will my suffering ever end,
when shall love be mine forever?

Yet let me not depart
for mine own good alone
and let me not forget
this valley of tears.
Let my pain be a balm to the wounded
and let my wounds bring life to the faint.
Heal me and sustain me that I may yet smile also in joy
and that I may bring some light to those living in the darkness.

In sorrow do we journey forth
yet in hope do we trust and regain our strength.
In weeping do we remember our afflictions
yet in prayer do we rejoice for our eternal home!
