Need Some Encouragement?
/
Storms may come, but we serve the God who says, "Peace be still," and the wind and waves obey.
Let’s face it—life can be chaotic, discouraging, and stressful. But we don't have to be in chaos, discouraged, or stressed out! We may not be able to do life on our own, but that's a good thing. We need Someone Greater. When our minds get bogged down with the pressures and the problems and the pursuits of living, we must run to the calm of our Father God's arms.
That’s why reading scriptures out loud is like a drink of cold water on a hot day. The refreshing power of the promises of God can sustain us when all else feels dry. It may not seem like a big deal, but let me tell you, reading the Word of God out loud is a GAMECHANGER. It is what changed my mindset and helped me truly believe for my physical healing, even in the face of pain and circumstances.
So here are some scriptures on encouragement and peace. May they sustain you on a dry day. Remember, you are never alone. You are loved and more valuable to God than you’ll ever be able to fathom.
You can do this through HIM.

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”
Romans 5:1-2, 5-6, 8-11 NIV
