God brings scriptures to our attention to encourage us. When this happens, those scriptures are chosen by God for us to fit our need. It is important to collect these scriptures and to keep them before us day and night to strengthen us and encourage us in our assignments.
In the late 1970's, a woman prophesied over me and delivered to me the following instruction which I believed to be from God: "Joan ... I don't know how I know this, but God is going to mightily use you. You are going to have to stay very close to HIM."
I know it requires special daily attention for me to hang on and deliver all these exhortations to the church.
I find many scriptures needed daily for me to do this work and to continue doing this work especially as we draw nearer to the return of Jesus.
I will share with you my personal collection of scriptures which I keep on my Kindle photo album for easy access.
Hopefully these will encourage you to pay close attention to the scriptures God brings to you daily for the times will get more difficult as we draw nearer to the return of Jesus.
But you can be assured that God will bring you that which you need to be able to endure. All you must do is pay attention when the Holy Spirit speaks to you and be sure to keep scripture and other things, like dreams, before you, meditating day and night for a season on each word that you receive from God.

II Timothy 1:6;8-9 ... stir up the gift of God, which is in thee ... Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me HIS prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

II Peter 3:10-14 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
