Nourishment for Thought

As I was reading today's devotion in the book of II Timothy dealing with the application of scripture; I couldn't help but think about how important the Bible is to our whole life. 
"All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."(II Timothy 3:16-17) How truly wonderful it is to know that we can go to our Heavenly Father through His Word for guidance in our lives. Finding comfort and instruction gives us the strength to keep going, like finding water in a desert. "As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."(Ps. 42:1-2) When we come to the place where we truly have absorbed who God says He is, the peace and reassurance we feel is like finding fresh water in a barren desert. God's Word is nourishment to every vein of our existence.
What scripture passages do you find refreshment and comfort in your everyday life?
