Final words for encouragement
1. Psalm 88:13 on being thankful in the morning
But I, O Lord, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you
No matter the situation, it still does not change the fact that God exists. He knows what you are going through, and he is working out a solution for you.
The prophet David said I would cry to you in the morning. He recognizes that God wants us to praise him. He wants us to be humble and content. “The Almighty” wants us to appreciate the little he has blessed us with.
Therefore, as a Christian, don’t just wake up in the morning without showing thanks. He kept you alive. He fought unseen battles throughout the night to keep you safe. The least you can do is say “Thank you, Lord,”
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words. Psalm 119:147
When you are thankful, God opens the heavens to bless you. So, when you sleep, be anxious for your next morning prayer.
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
2. Psalm 56:3-4 on trusting God
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
This is one of my favorite bible verses. It makes you realize God is always watching. He knows your troubles. He knows you are sick. God knows you are still searching for a Dream Job. He knows your life is under threat by the Evil world.
Whatever it is, never lose hope. Trust in God because “what can flesh do to me.”
The devil will only try to harm you, but only if God allows. He can try to make you miserable, but only if God allows. He will try to make you sick, only if God permits. Then, God will make your infirmities go away.
Therefore, do not be afraid. But instead, rejoice and be thankful.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4
3. Proverbs 3:5 on the mysteries of God
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
The ways of God are mysterious to man. He can make the blind see. He can make the dumb speak. God can make the deaf hear.
He can make a virgin pregnant with a baby (the birth of Christ). God can do all things.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. Psalm 37:5
Limiting God’s powers because of your human understanding is not a sign of a faithful Christian. Even in apparent human impossibilities, put your trust in God.
The Apostle Paul said
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13
4. Ephesians 4:1 behaving like Jesus Christ
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called
Being called into the fold of Christ requires steadfastness and patience. Since we have been called, God requires that we continue to serve him. This may come with difficulties, but don’t lose hope.
whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2:6
So, how can you walk like Jesus Did?
Walking like Jesus means professing Godliness and righteousness through all actions in life. The holy spirit is there to comfort you and lead you.
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit Galatians 5:25
Therefore be kind to all men, humble, steadfast, show love, build your faith, and wait on the lord
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control Galatians 5:22-23
5. Psalm 37:25 Trusting God to provide
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread
Sometimes, you’ve awakened up not knowing what the day brings. You don’t know where to get the first client. You even don’t know how to get breakfast.
But do not panic!!! From his youth until his old age, David said he had never seen a righteous man forsaken by God. These tribulations may arise, but God creates an escape route all the time.
For the Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself. 1 Samuel 12:22
6. Hebrews 12:1-2 on focusing on the future
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Living in sin can affect our commitment to God. Therefore, we must run away from sin, forgetting our past and thinking about our future.
Christ has called us and forgiven our sins. We should, therefore, stay faithful and obedient to his calling and do things that are pleasant in his sight.
Do not let your past ways draw you back. Instead, stay firm in Christ forgetting things that have transpired and working towards perfection.
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus Philippians 3:13-14
7. Ephesians 6:10-18 on putting on the Armour of God
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
This is a warning from Paul, the apostle of Christ. He understood the difficulties of latter-day Christians. That we fight against the wicked, the devil, and all forms of evil.
However, don’t lose hope. Rather stand firm using God’s Armour (the word of God) and be faithful.
Continue to live a righteous life whatever the circumstances. Fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on the eternal blessing that Christ promises.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12
8. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 on trusting God with your future
For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
It is funny how we allow minor issues to take hold of our happiness in Christ. We get bothered about our present difficulties. We are worried about making money, getting well, getting a high-paying job, and so many good things in the world.
These things are transient and can never supersede eternal glory. We must, therefore, sow our treasures in heaven for eternal glory in Christ.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Romans 8:18
9. Psalm 40:5 on acknowledging God’s blessings
You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.
It is difficult to understand what God does for us daily. But here’s a quick way to know and appreciate God.
You can stand – so your legs are okay. You can raise your hands – so your hands are okay. You can breathe and not on oxygen – so your lungs are working fine. Your kidneys are in good shape because you can pee easily.
Whatever the situation, you must be thankful. No man can count God’s blessing on his life. It is endless.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
10. Psalm 119:133
Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me
This is another good bible verse to strengthen your faith in God. He will not allow the evils in this world to overcome you.
