The words that come out of our mouths are powerful. We all struggle at times and long for words of encouragement. It’s important to stay in tune with others so you can bless others with words of encouragement.

We all face trials. Some are expected and some are not expected. They are both hard and using encouraging Bible verses can help. The first thing we need to acknowledge is God’s love for us. He loves us and works everything for our good (Romans 8:28).

Learning how to trust God through these situations is important. Allowing ourselves to worry about life or stress about a situation will bring us down even more.  One of God’s many promises in the Bible tells us that God will supply all our needs (Phil 4:19). This, of course, is according to His will.

God’s will is the best thing for us. He knows what’s best for us in every situation, God’s timing is always right. Praying to God for wisdom should be your top priority. He can speak to you and give you words of encouragement right from the Bible.

The purpose of this post is to help you share words of encouragement. You can use these encouraging Bible verses as words of encouragement. These encouraging Bible verses are perfect for any man, woman, kid, or friend that needs encouragement.
