Proverbs 3:5-6. I kow it is a favorite of a lot of people, but that doesn't matter to me.

"Jesus wept" (John 11:35)

It's easy to memorize and it really tells a lot about Jesus in a very few words.

Psalms 37: 

1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou aenvious against the workers of iniquity.
  2 For they shall soon be acut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
  3 aTrust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
  4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the adesires of thine heart.
  5 aCommit thy bway unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
  6 And he shall abring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
  7 Rest in the Lord, and wait apatiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
  8 aCease from banger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
  9 For evildoers shall be acut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the bearth.
  10 For yet a alittle while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
  11 But the ameek shall inherit the bearth; and shall cdelight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Rev 3:19-21. 

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

 

I don't have a favorite, but this is certainly one of my favorites.

Isaiah 53: 3-5

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Favorite from the D&C:

Do not run faster or labor more than you have strength and means.”

—D&C 10:4

Favorite BoM Scripture:

Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast.”

Ether 12:4

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

One favorite verse??

So many verses, so little time....

Depends on my need... comfort, encouragement, faith, love, simple pleasure...

King Benjamin's sermon... Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life... Christ weeping as he blesses the children when he appeared in the new world... the comfort found in John 14:27... the promise of lst Cor 11:11 (marriage)... Heb 11:1-10 (faith)... D&C 58:42 (forgiveness)... and so many more...

I use my favorite scripture citations as my tech passwords.   Easy to remember and hard to figure out if you don't know the code.

Too many to choose from.

I really like this one: 

Ecc. 3:11

"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."

Doctrine and Covenants 6:36

Quote

36 Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.

But the context of this is essential: Jesus Christ confirming by revelation to Oliver Cowdery by way of Joseph Smith that the peace Oliver had experienced earlier -- at the time known only to Oliver -- while he was praying to know the truth of the Restoration did indeed come from Christ.

I didn't fully appreciate the profundity of this verse until a couple of years ago in a Gospel Principles class when a class member outlined the context.  This was right before he brought Lazarus back from the dead.  Jesus knew exactly what he was going to do, knew that the reason Mary and Martha were weeping would soon be rectified, and yet he still took time to stop and mourn with the family.  What was important to them was important to him.

My favorite verse changes from time to time, depending on where I am in my life.  For the last year or so it has been Alma 22:18

"O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and if there is a God and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me, and I will give away all my sins to know thee."

In the last couple of years, my thoughts have kept coming back to this verse, and reflecting on what is holding me back from truly knowing God and feeling Him manifest in my life.

"...Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am." (3 Nephi 27:27)

Pretty much sums up everything.

Mine is "I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you" spoken by Jesus in the New Testament.

2 Nephi 9: 41. Also least we forget 2 Nephi 9-10, and most all of the Book of Jacob, within the Bood of Mormon. Matthew 5, 6. 7, and 8...most the Book of Acts of  the Apostles.And all of the Book of John, 1 Corinthians 7 and 15 and Hevrews 11. In the D&C, section(s) 20, 84 and 120-122.
