    Why this printable matters

    The Bible takes encouragement seriously. The Greek word — parakaleo — means "to call alongside," and it's the same word used for the Holy Spirit (paraclete). When you encourage another believer, you are doing the Spirit's work in their life. That's not poetic — that's literal. These 30 verses are the ones the Spirit has been using to encourage God's people for centuries. Joshua heard them on the eve of battle. David sang them in caves. Paul wrote them from prison. They have lifted millions of broken-down saints — they will lift the one you give them to. Print a stack for your small group. Put one in every get-well card. The world is loud with discouragement; the Word of God is louder.

    How to use this printable

    1. 1

      Print on cardstock

      Standard printer paper works, but 65–110 lb cardstock makes the cards durable enough for daily wallet carry.

    2. 2

      Cut along the dotted lines

      Each sheet contains 8 cards. Use scissors or a paper cutter — no special tools required.

    3. 3

      Place them where they're needed

      Bathroom mirror, car dashboard, kitchen window, work monitor, child's lunchbox, sympathy card.

    4. 4

      Read aloud

      Speaking Scripture engages a different part of the brain than silent reading. Read each card aloud, slowly.

    5. 5

      Give extras away

      Print two sets — one to keep and one to give. A handful of cards in a card or care package can be a profound gift.

    6. 6

      Pair with prayer

      Use each card as a prayer prompt. Talk to God about whatever the verse stirs up.
