7 Bible Verses To Encourage Your Heart

by | Apr 12, 2016 | Encouragement

Finding yourself a bit discouraged today?

Has life, full of twists and turns, got your down?

Is your path full of detours, and stops, and roadblocks?

Are your circumstances beyond your control?

Is what you see transpiring around the world causing you to feel unsettled and disheartened?

Friend, I’m sorry you’re discouraged. May it help you to know you’re not alone.

Many understand discouragement, including me.

Discouragement happens to us all, and I find it can be subtle and sneaky. It can appear when we least expect it, and it can knock the wind right our of our sails.

You probably know what I’m writing. What do you do in times like these to lift your spirits and encourage your heart?

When I get discouraged, I cling to a few Bible verses that I purposely embedded in my mind. They help me so, and I pray they encourage your heart today, too.

Do you have a word for the year?

We held our Coffee and Calling event on Saturday where we learned and embraced the concept of choosing a word for 2025. Many women left with a word in their hearts and with hope in their souls. 

They wrote their words down on a card, and that card is now sitting on my desk. I'll be praying for them and their words all year long. 

Do you have a word for 2025? 

If so, share it below, and I'll pray for you and your word throughout the year, too.

I can't wait to see what God will do in and through these words!

(And if you'd like to attend an online version of this Coffee and Calling event, let me know that in the comments, too.)

Happy 2025!
