My Favorite Bible Verses For Encouragement
On faith:
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” – Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
On hope:
“(1)Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2)through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. (3)Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; (4)perseverance, character; and character, hope. (5)And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” – Romans 5:1-5 (NIV)
On worrying:
(22)Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. (23)Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. (24)Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! (25)Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (26)Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
(27)“Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. (28)If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! (29)And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. (30)For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. (31)But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. – Luke 12:22-31 (NIV)
On God’s plan for us:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

I am thankful for your words of encouragement. I am not sure where I am supposed to be or what I am supposed to be doing in my life at this particular time. I have worries on my mind that I know God will take care of, but I can’t seem to shake this feeling of unknowing what or where I need to be, the only thing I am sure about right now is that I love God and all that he has in store for me.

Thanks to this site. it has been so encouraging for me.The whole of last week I have been so broken hearted.I separated from my husbands many years ago becopuse of his violence, heavy drinking and lack of responsibility. I have five kids which I am struggling to get through high school and college education. My salary is not enough. Last week one of my sister promised to help me raise fees for one of my sons who was joining campus.After receiving the letter I approached her and she became v wild and really humiliated my status. I felt v hurt and I cried the whole lwhole week. I blamed God and started questioning him. Things were so tough and life has been so tough. But after visiting your site, I got relived and encoauraged. i realised that God is the best father,who will never part from his children no matter what. he has good ,plans for us and he will never forsake us. cheers
Sometimes the difficulty of the fight seems to be stronger than the glory of the reward; these passages remind me that it is only a fight if I allow myself to struggle. Thank you.
truly, God’s word is living. He’s powerful and He knows what’s best for us. And i do believe in the bible. He is such a living God.Praise to God!I worship Him..=)

Thanks for the word of encouragement, As since few days i was worried of my job stability will i be in the same job or will i be getting the same salary what i am drawing regularly and like wise many things was going through my mind.I was feeling very lonely and upset because of these question arising in my mind at that time i felt that i should go through the bible verses and i got your site and got my answer how your hope should be and by taking tension you cannot add a single hour to your life i am touched by these words and all of the sudden my hopes have become high and that same mind which was thinking all negative thoughts became positive. I am thankful to the allmighty who has given me everything but still i was worried and tensed, but now i am free from those problems,Once again thanks to the entire team of word of encouragement.
“Today is the day that the LORD has made. Let us rejoice & be glad.” I can’t remember where in the bible that is found, but I will praise GOD for all that I have & I will lay down my heart, my life, my family & all my concerns at HIS alter. I too have been struggling to get back on the right path. I find that sometimes the lines are a bit fuzzy, but I will be patient & listen for HIS guidence. I will pray for those that I know & all those that I don’t if they have given their worries to GOD. My faith is strong but my flesh is weak, & I could use some prayer as well. My family is struggling with addictions, at risk teens, health issues, & finances. I thank GOD for whoever created this site & also for those that have posted comments. You are all such a blessing for me & others who may not feel comfortable leaving their woes here. Keep teaching others & praising JESUS!
In GOD’s Hands!
I am currently waiting at home,getting ready to go over to the airport. I have a flight to take back to my hometown. I have aerophobia (fear of air travel). However, after reading God’s words and comments left by all of you, i realize that my problems are nothing compared to the others and yet from time to time i complained and doubt God.
please send words to my mail id daily is very useful for me
thank you
im thankful to have found this site-i am going through a situation where i feel the devil is hard at work trying to discourage me, whatever i try seem not to fall into place-but as hard as it is-after feeling worried and stressed i still find it in me to know that the lord has declared that he has plans for me, plans to prosper me not to destroy me, plans to give me hope and a future-im trying to start a business, i already started now the devil wants to come into my business and wants to destroy it-however i pray that this devil be defeated in jesus’s name, i serve a living God and i cannot be struggling to please the devil. please keep me in your prayers
