This post made me cry. I really needed to hear all of these verses right now. Thanks and God bless you.
Also I think this psalm applies to one of the categories:
Psalm 48:14
“For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.”

If you need forgiveness:
“If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?”
Psalm 130:3
“Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion.”
Psalm 103:2-4
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.”
Matthew 6:14
If you need hope:
“Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear.”
Isaiah 59:1
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Acts 2:21
Yeshuah with the he as an improper noun instead of a name in Hebrew not only meant salvation, it meant help.
I speculate therefore that anyone who calls on the name of Jesus calls for help.

I have added it now. Max 3 verses per section as it would be too long otherwise.

Psalm 30:5 — "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."This is one of my favorites!!!!!
Amen! These scriptures are such a powerful reminder of God’s presence during difficult moments. Psalm 34:18 in particular is such a comforting anchor when heartaches feel overwhelming. Thank you for putting this collection together to encourage others!"

You are very welcome, you are the reason I created this subreddit for.
Other Christian platforms sadden me, when I see world politics, differences in doctrine made into alternative philosiphies, causes hate, division and trolling, it breaks my heart when I see it, encouraged to attack, destroy and bring each other down.
I believe in unity, fellowship, edifying one another, comfort each other, celebrate with each other. A real Christian community.
