Well if I'm being honest my life verse is this:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD

I've raised my children on that one.

Jeremiah 29:1 wrote:This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.

Hehe:

In all seriousness though, I do consider this to be my "life" verse.

While I understand that the verse itself has a different biblical context than what I'm using it for, I still take inspiration from that verse, as a personal quote.

While at that level I'm sure it (and other verses like it) could easily be abused ie: robbing the local gas station because "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" LOL, but there is a positive/uplifting practical application with using that quote as well.

When I first got diagnosed with cancer, my grandmother bought me this high end "robot candle" - looks like a real flame, but it takes batteries - and there's an ornate inscription of the Philippians 4:13 on it.  More than a time or two when I was feeling sorry for myself, I'd look at that candle on my fireplace mantle and those words helped inspire me not to give up...

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
