Encouraging Bible Verses

Here are some short Christmas Bible Verses that are easy to memorize. We are soon in the middle of November and for the first year since I moved to Sweden we are actually planning on celebrating Christmas here, in Sweden this year. Usually, we travel to Colombia or Finland for Christmas to visit our families. Even during the pandemic, we traveled to Finland, we had to spend 12 days in quarantine in my parent’s summer house but even that year we chose to travel to Finland for Christmas. But this year, my parents and at least one sister will come to Sweden and we will get to enjoy a Swedish…

Here are some Bible verses on loneliness to remind you that you are not alone. One of the lies I think our enemy wants us to believe in is that we are alone. That we need to manage everything in our own strength and that we stand alone in our struggles. We all face different kinds of struggles and challenges and in times when it feels like one challenge is followed by another, life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes life can feel intense, it feels like there is no time to stop and reflect and there is no space to recharge and rest. A couple of weeks ago I had a…

Reading some encouraging Bible verses when stressed can be a good way to remember what the Bible says about peace and how God sees us. Before becoming a mom I used to be annoyed about how living in constant stress seemed to be so normalized. When I studied at the university it felt like everyone seemed to be expected to be stressed. Stress seemed to be something everyone just had to deal with. Even if I do agree that all of us face stressful situations that are challenging in many ways, I feel like something is very wrong if we need to live in constant stress every day. I don’t…

Something that all of us always will benefit from if we choose to live by it is the power of gratitude. Here are some Bible verses about gratitude that teach us different things about thankfulness. What Is Gratitude? According to Oxford Languages, gratitude is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Being thankful is such a good quality that prevents us from complaining and keeps us from focusing on the negative things in life. Thinking thankful thoughts can change our attitude and can really make a challenging day so much easier to go through. I have realized that when I choose to be thankful…

Here are some wallpapers with Bible verses that you can download and use on your phone. Our phones have become very important items we use so many times during our day. On our phones, we receive and respond to messages, and call people, and we also use them for so many other things. I am a person who really likes paper calendars and notebooks but slowly I have started to use the apps on my phone more for planning my days as well. Most of us look at our phones many times throughout our days so having an encouraging wallpaper can be a good way to stay encouraged during our…

We are now in the middle of September and that means that some of us have entered a new school year and some of us have returned from our summer vacations and are back at work. Or maybe you continue everyday life at home with your children just like me. September doesn’t bring new projects for all of us but here in Sweden where we live, we experience changing seasons from sunny summer to the colder weather that the fall season brings. When entering a new season there is so much wisdom that can be found in the Bible. Reading and meditating on God’s word helps us to keep our…

Here are some encouraging Bible verses about the goodness of God. There is so much in the Bible that tells us about who God is. Through the things he does, we can see who he is. We can also read about people who have walked with him and obeyed him and who testify of how they have experienced his goodness. When God created the earth he said when it was finished that the creation was good. He created so much beauty and he also created us in a way so that we can enjoy all the things that he created. When we continue reading we can see how Adam and…

Here are some Bible verses about dreams and goals, that can be an encouragement when entering a new season. We are at the end of August and here where we live in Sweden, that means that we are approaching fall. The beginning of fall is such a nice time of the year. The temperature is going down a little bit, which I really like. It is a very cozy season when we get to light candles again and bring out the blankets. So, I am excited! I hope that you are too. If not, I hope I can pass on some of my excitement through this blog post. 😉 Fall…

When this blog post is published we are in mid-August and I think it is okay to start thinking about fall. Fall is and has always been the best season of the year if you ask me. So when fall is getting closer I tend to be very excited and I start looking forward to it way too soon. 😀 I love that the days get cooler and that the trees are full of color. At least the first months of fall are beautiful, November might not be my favorite month of the year as it gets so dark and rainy where we live. But anyway, right now, in the…
