Mine is where Jesus teaches us to love his God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength!
1 John 3:1–3 (NASB 2020): See how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called children of God; and in fact we are. For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
these are just some that i find power to reflect on

To offer my own favorite verse from the Mem revised edition Mem 1:1, "In the beginning...the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen."
But I realize that the OP was asking about actual existing verses with their current notation so I'd say, Rev 22:21, leaving out the brackets and differences in translations.
"The grace of the Lord Jesus with you all."

One of my favorites has always been:
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matt 11:28-30 (KJV)
I like 'easy'.

this is a little like asking me which of my kiddos is my favorite, and there are only six of them.

Yeah, I always found it interesting that people can have favorite singular verses. There's so many verses in the Bible that it seems almost impossible to just have one favorite. My readthrough of the Bible has been slow going so I can't yet say I have found a favorite singular verse but Romans has been my favorite book. I started with the NT and am reading through the OT now, so I'll see if Romans stays the favorite or not once I finish the whole thing. The OT has a lot of amazing things in it, but some parts feel like they're going to fry my brain lol.
my husband will be 75 Wednesday, and he's read the Bible for decades, so he's been all the way through a number of times. he's doing this new thing now, and i intend to try it.
he reads the same book a number of times in a row. one month he read Romans and Hebrews, a chapter of each every day. (he also throws in some of Psalms and Proverbs for good measure lol.) a few months ago, he read Ecclesiastes in the same manner. our kids call him the walking concordance-- "hey, dad, where's the one about 'heirs according to promise' ?"
just throwing it out there, you know. and yes on the brain burn!

That's pretty cool. I'm planning to finish the OT and re-read the NT and then do a sort of bible study thing of connecting scriptures. I may or may not change my mind or just forget the plan by the time I'm done but as of right now it seems like the ideal thing to do. Re-reading one book for a whole month also seems like a good thing to do. I'll just have to figure it out when the time comes.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Psalm 1:
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

1 Peter 5: 7 "casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
I have a tendency to carry a lot of stress and worries and feel like I have to figure everything out on my own. I'm embarrassed to say that it can be very easy for me to forget how much God cares and provides for His kids. This verse brings me back to His love.
Sometimes when I'm feeling stressed, I will go through everything I can possibly think of that's bothering me and mentally hand each thing over to God as it comes to mind. Works pretty well for me!

this is the first psalm we had our kids memorize. of course, it's about Christ.
He lived Psalm 1 for us, and is creating Psalm 1 in us. Glory to God!
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
This verse shows how much our God loves us and despite the sin and suffering we endure in this life as Christians, God will weave it all together into a new creation in Jesus Christ our Lord.
