I have two favorite scriptures, the first is Psalm 23 because it says that if we believe on him we shall not want and that HE will guide us on the path. There is much more packed into these short verses, but the original said it best.

"Psalms 23 

¹ The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

² He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³ He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵ Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

My other favorite is commonly referered to as the "beattitudes" which are often just referred to as Matthew 5: 3 - 11. I believe that more verses are relevant and should be included. It's hard to choose where to stop since it continues to build on what is before. I recommend that you read the entire chapter a few times and let it's message sink in carefully. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." - this doesn't say poor, but meek which means quiet or gentle. 

"Matthew 5 

¹ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

² And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

³ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

⁵ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

⁶ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

⁷ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

¹² Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

¹⁵ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

¹⁷ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

¹⁸ For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

¹⁹ Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

I can't recite scrioptures, not even the ones I have cited here. But I don't believe we are expected to learn them like that. I believe we are supposed to learn the meaning in each scripture when we are moved to read them. I believe the Holy Ghost comes and gives us the prompting on what to read at a specific time, because that scripture is the one that most closely matches our current situation. Frequently we receive such promptings in response to fervent prayers, but we don't recognize them as such because we don't realise that we received the answer and the asnwer is no or not now or something else other than yes. Quite often the best answer for our lives is anything other than yes. But us mere mortals have a hard time acceptings the answer is not yes when we so desperately want it to be for whatever we are praying for answers on.
