10 Bible Verses for Encouragement
1. Hope
Psalm 42:5, “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.”
God is our hope. No matter our circumstances or trouble we can place our trust in God and know He is our one and only hope.
2. Peace
Numbers 6:24-26, “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
Our peace comes from the Lord. In days of happiness or days of sadness and trouble, He is with us and will be gracious to us and give us peace. We can calm our troubled and distracted hearts with His peace.
3. Joy
Psalm 4:7, “You have put more joy in my heart …”
Our joy comes from God and the hope that He gives to us. We cannot trust the world, a person or our possessions to give us joy. True joy endures long after people and things are gone.
4. Deliverance
Psalm 32:7, “You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.”
God is our deliverance. He will give us a hiding place and a place of safety from all of our troubles in life. Ask him to save and deliver you today.
5. Purpose
Psalm 138:8, “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.”
The God who created and sustains the universe has a plan and purpose just for you. Every day He is working to fulfill that plan for you.

7. Courage

8. Comfort
Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
When you are in a time of mourning or sadness, you will receive comfort. Trust in the promise of comfort. There will come a day when God will wipe away your tears and sadness will be no more.
9. Rest
Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Are you weary and tired? You don’t have to carry your burdens alone. Lay your burdens at the feet of Jesus and find the rest you need.
If you have difficulty falling asleep at night, I find that prayer smoothes my active mind and calms me so that I can sleep well. Give it a try on the nights you are restless.
10. Assurance
Philippians 1:6, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
Rest in the assurance that God has a plan for us. Every day of our life as long as we live He continually works out this amazing plan in our lives.

Hi Aurie, you are not alone – being a mom is one of the hardest jobs (but also has the greatest rewards). Don’t quit doing all the wonderful things you do! Remember these promises when you need a little inspiration.
Beautiful verses! Always in time!
I love to have special verses like these to remind me of God’s promises to us.
Heehee…I hopped right over from #ThisIsHowWeRoll the second I saw “tired moms.” Having been awake at 4 a.m. the last couple mornings (and, let’s face it, having been tired for the last 17 or so years…ever since the doctor said that, “It’s a girl!” thing), I was, er, “drawn” to your post. But what a lovely and right way to start my day! Thank you for compiling these beautiful promises…so many of my favorites. I also love the passionate compassion of God expressed in Isaiah: “In all their distress, He too was distressed, and the angel of His presence saved them. In His love and mercy He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them” (Isaiah 63:9). Thank you for sharing your words and God’s heart!
Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for visiting. Being a mom is hard work. Thanks for sharing the words from Isaiah, it’s assuring to know that our God feels our distress and will protect us.
