A popular Protestant bible app reveals the most read bible quote of 2025 for it's app.
Isaiah 41:10
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Tells me perhaps a lot of people are going through difficult times.
That's what life is all about .... suffering and what you do with it.
Seems to be.
So ... do you have a scripture (bible, quran, etc) quote (or quote of any kind) that is your 'go to' or favorite for 2025 ???
HERE
Quote:A scripture about God's provision, comfort, and divine protection has again become the most shared, bookmarked, and highlighted verse across the globe, according to YouVersion, a top-rated mobile Bible app.
Isaiah 41:10 has earned the top spot as YouVersion's 2025 Verse of the Year. It reads:
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
This year marks the fourth time in six years the verse has claimed the top spot, which YouVersion notes is a "testament to the enduring need for God's reassurance in uncertain times."

Quote:I am the All. Cleave a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up a stone, and you will find Me there.
Not the Bible per se, but the apocryphal Gospel of St Thomas.
One of my favorites, all the same.
"Yet so it is, we see the illiterate bulk of mankind that walk the high-road of plain common sense, and are governed by the dictates of nature, for the most part easy and undisturbed. To them nothing that is familiar appears unaccountable or difficult to comprehend."

I like this hadith in the Quran "My mercy prevails over my wrath"
There is one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind.

Yes, the Quran has many inspiring quotes:
"“And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].” Ayat 42"
"The only journey is the one within."

I cansee why that quote would be popular.
I'm still reading and still in the OT, Samuels 1-2. But that quote from Isiah is a keeper.

Matthew 15:21-23, In most ancient cultures calling someone a dog is about as bad as it gets for a dog does not know who it's father is. Fighting words.
Quote:The Canaanite Woman's Faith[sup]21[/sup] Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. [sup]22[/sup] A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly." [sup]23[/sup] Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us." [sup]24[/sup] He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." [sup]25[/sup] The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. [sup]26[/sup] He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs." [sup]27[/sup] "Yes it is, Lord," she said. "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table." [sup]28[/sup] Then Jesus said to her, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed at that moment.

So what makes Thomas your favourites, never read it or wanted to for no reason, anything in there you would recommend?

Or maybe
She was a Canaanite woman, seems dogs in the house under the meal table were not uncommon to speak of - so we must presume, Canaanite’s liked dogs like people do today, possibly represented part of a Canaanite family.
Jews called Canaanite’s dogs because they despised how they lived

Will a song work?
For 2025 there was a lot to make me cringe and sometimes lose it, and I cant say secular social role-reversal was much fun... but up to 3 more years may be like social calluses that harden to withstand much more pain then ever thought possible?
But overall, I'm trying to still look at the brightside of things for 2026... like "it really could've been a lot worse."

It's a collection of sayings, as opposed to a story where Jesus speaks in riddles Creaky.
That's just one that always stuck in my head for some reason, as it appears to make a modicum of possible sense to me.
There can be a lot of beauty and hidden wisdom in religious scriptures.
