Y’all, it has been a hard week. I mentioned here that we are currently trying to sell our home, and I am finally feeling the wear and tear from daily staging and caring for my toddler alone. Mi Amor has been traveling for 2 weeks, and while keeping the home clean with one less person is helpful, I am really feeling exhausted. So where do I turn to in times of distress? God’s Word.
Don’t get me wrong – I am still struggling. If I have learned anything in 2017 it is that God’s plan is so much better than mine. But in the thick of it, it can be challenging to be patient. Waiting on God can feel like being on the phone with no one on the other end. But I know He’s there, listening and working to make everything better than I can imagine.
So prayer it is. I need to be in His Word, in relationship with Him to get through this tough season.

If you are feeling anxious about selling your home (or going through something similar), I’ve put together these 6 scriptures to give you peace. I encourage you to use these in your prayers – there is nothing more powerful than using God’s Word when speaking directly to him!
I’ve included some pretty graphics. And, of course, these are all from my favorite Bible, She Reads Truth Bible (CSB).
Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.
Galatians 6:9
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
Psalms 55:22
Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28

She evaluates a field and buys it; she plants a vineyard with her earnings.
Proverbs 31:16
Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
The Lord brings poverty and gives wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
1 Samuel 2:7
I hope these can help bring you peace as they do for me. I need to constantly remind myself that my perfect timing isn’t HIS timing. And that’s a good thing.
What is something you are currently challenged with?
I love all of these scripture choices. They’re so relevant to anyone going through any sort of change or season of worry! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Kelsi! They are definitely helping me during this challenging season.
Thank you so much for providing these powerful verses. I am in the process of selling my home and the anxiety level is very high. I will be putting them into my prayers as well. I really like with what you also said that it is using God’s words in speaking directly to Him. Have you sold your house yet?
Hi Phyllis! I am so glad that they can help you. I know that using His verses make such a difference in my prayer life. As for our home, God set everything up perfectly and we sold and relocated in April. We couldn’t even find a home in our new town, and God directed us to the perfect place – and we even saved $10K. God is SO good. Many blessings to you and I pray you can find peace in this very stressful season.
Hola! I’ve been following your web site for some time now and finally got
the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Humble Tx!
Just wanted to tell you keep up the good work!
Thank you! I appreciate your comment.
Amazing blog. Thanks for sharing these scriptures.
Howdy! This post couldn?t be written any better! Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He always kept talking about this. I’ll send this
information to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a very good read.
Many thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing, I am glad it can help.
Thank you for these powerful words. I’ve been so stressed about selling our house and relocating. These verses put my soul to peace. I will be sure to read them daily.
Hi Amber! Thanks for commenting. It was just a few weeks ago this year that we put our home on the market, and looking back I am so grateful and blessed with the life we have built since relocating. It didn’t come without a lot of stress and moments where I was just DONE, and these Scriptures really helped. I am so glad they can give you peace. Many blessings with your next adventure.
Hello, I enjoy reading all of your post. I like to write a little
comment to support you.
Thank you! I appreciate your support.
Thank you Holy Spirit for leading me to this post, and thank you Lisa (I stumbled across this on Google, I’m pretty sure I saw Lisa somewhere on here so hopefully it’s the right name); thank you for creating this. My house has been on the market for a few months now and it’s been stressful, especially since I’ve had two offers that have fallen through. I questioned myself, was my faith not strong enough? Was I supposed to have done something differently? The scriptures you’ve provided are perfect. Reading them, I felt an instant calmness. Again, thank you for sharing. God bless!
Hi Tori! I really appreciate your comment, and I am so glad you found some encouragement in these scriptures. That season is now a distant memory, but it definitely came with so many hurdles (and many after I posted this). I pray these scriptures continue to speak life into you, and that your home sells soon! God bless!
