This is a good question as there are so many.I don't know if I can answer.I mean I can even look back at certian situations i was in and needed a word from God.I've actually been in situations where i would just quickly open the bible and start reading hoping to get a word from God and alot of times I would,or other times I would pray for an answer or word from God then a preacher would preach a message that was my answer.Lke for instance one time it was 2nd Chronicles 20:12-17.another time it was Psalm 34 and 35.

Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

Matthew 23:11
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

The parable of the prodigal son
The parable of the Good Samaritan
The parable of the pharisee and tax collector.
And the parable of the lost sheep.

The words of Jesus have always impacted me the most.
I have been the prodigal son.
The Good Samaritan
The Pharisee
The tax collector
And the lost sheep.

So I guess in these lessons, I have heard Him speaking to me.

So many to choose from and I'm not good at remembering or quoting them (working on that though). I love the passage that mentions the hurt, the sinful, the meek. The one that expresses that God loves and wants the broken souls. I will see if I can find it.

psalm 51:17

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

ST, This is almost surely not it but it's one of my favorites. When I first found God, all I had to give was a broken heart and it was accepted and cleaned.
Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love, and the future to God’s providence. -St Augustine

I'd love to say it was that one, that is absolutely beautiful, really moving.

I think it is in Matthew.

Got it!
