Yes — I tend to return to verses that focus on transformation rather than mere restraint. Passages about renewing the mind or asking God to create a clean heart resonate because they shift the focus from willpower alone to inner re-orientation.
What helps most are verses that combine honesty with hope, acknowledging struggle while also pointing toward change that is possible over time. They function less like rules and more like reminders of direction and identity.
I’ve noticed that repeating the same verses over seasons gives them a kind of familiarity that steadies the mind. It’s not just the wording itself, but the rhythm of returning to something that consistently redirects attention and intention.
