So tired....

There seems to be a lot of things that I am getting 'tired' of...and I'm struggling to hold on to God's promises and I'm struggling to persevere in many areas. So instead of listing all the things that have got me feeling down, tired, and spread like butter I'm going to make a list of verses that bring me comfort and enough peace to get through moment of doubts...

Hebrews 12:11 "No discipline at the moment seems pleasant but painful. However, in the end it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those that have been trained by it."

Romans 5:3-5 "More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
  
Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

Romans 8  
28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

1 Peter 1: 6-9
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

I"m sure that if I took o find them all I would fined many many more verses that give promises of hope and encouragement
