All sixteen moments and their verses

Every verse is quoted word for word from the World English Bible (public domain), checked on November 10, 2026. The WEB uses “Yahweh” where many translations print “the LORD”. The short readings and steps were written by Honest Little Apps; they are a plain reading of each verse, not counselling and not a statement of any church’s teaching.

A verse in 90 seconds, when you need one.

Lampstep is a daily Bible verse app for iPhone built around real moments: the text you shouldn’t send, the coworker who took credit, the 3 a.m. worry. Each day gives one real-life moment with honest choices, then the exact verse, a plain-English why and one small step.

Its SOS feature is always free: if you are anxious, angry, tempted, can’t sleep or grieving, it offers a breathing pause, then one verse, one next step and one short prayer. Crisis moments show 988 and emergency resources first.

Questions

What is a good Bible verse for anxiety?

Philippians 4:6-7 is one of the most used: “In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” It goes on to promise the peace of God guarding your heart and thoughts.

What does the Bible say when you are angry?

James 1:19-20 says to be swift to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger, and Proverbs 15:1 says a gentle answer turns away wrath.

Is there a Bible verse for when you can’t sleep?

Psalm 4:8: “In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.”

Which Bible translation is used here?

The World English Bible, a modern public domain translation, so the verses can be copied and shared freely.
