There are many verses that God uses at different times to speak to us - verses of comfort, verses of hope, verses of encouragement, verses of instruction, verses of revelation, etc.
So 'Which is your favourite verse of the Bible, and why?'
Here are the top 5 so far:

4. Philippians 4v12-13

5. Romans 8v38,39
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.(NLT)
