Encourage The Christian

Encouragement for Christians Struggling to Trust God (Proverbs 3:5–6)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”

Sounds simple, right? But let’s be real—trusting God is hard when fear, anxiety, and control are screaming louder than faith.

In this devotional, I’m not pretending it’s easy. I’m being honest about the paranoia that comes with letting go, the flesh that resists surrender, and how trust is often a fight—not a feeling.

Proverbs 3:5–6 isn’t about ignoring your fear—it’s about choosing trust in the middle of it.

Be encouraged: wrestling to trust is still trusting.

Encouragement for Christians to Walk in the Fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10)

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…” — Proverbs 9:10

True wisdom doesn’t start with clever thoughts—it starts with reverence for God.

When we truly know who God is, that knowledge produces fear—not terror, but awe. That awe produces obedience, and that obedience is what wisdom really is.

In this episode, we unpack how fear, knowledge, and obedience work together to grow us in wisdom—not just in what we say, but in how we live.

Let this encourage you: Wisdom is not just knowing—it’s doing.

Encouragement for Christians to Remember God’s Authority (Romans 9 & Matthew 9)

God is sovereign. He chooses to show mercy as He wills. Romans 9 reminds us: we are the clay, not the potter.

And yet, in Matthew 9, we see the heart of that same sovereign God when Jesus says, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”

This devotional holds both truths together: God has absolute authority, and His desire is mercy.

When life feels unfair or confusing, remember—you don’t have to understand His decisions to trust His character.

📖 Romans 9:15 – “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy…”
📖 Matthew 9:13 – “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”

Encouragement for Christians Yearning For More (Numbers 11)

In Numbers 11, the Israelites craved more—more than manna, more than what God had already given. They grumbled for quail, and when they got it… it came with judgment.

This devotional is a warning wrapped in love: our cravings can lead to our undoing if they pull us away from contentment in Christ.

Be careful what you're demanding from God. Contentment isn’t settling—it’s recognizing that what He’s already done is enough.

📖 Numbers 11 – The people craved, grumbled… and were struck down.

Let this be your encouragement: Let gratitude replace grumbling. Let contentment guard your heart.

Encouragement for Christians Who Misread God’s Will (1 Samuel 16:6–7)

Have you ever been sure about something—convinced it was God’s will—only to realize later… you got it wrong? You’re not alone.

In 1 Samuel 16:6–7, even the prophet Samuel assumed Eliab was God’s chosen king based on what looked right. But God corrected him:

“Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

This devotional is a reminder that missing it doesn’t mean you’re disqualified. It just means we’re still learning to discern. God doesn’t shame us—He redirects us.

📖 1 Samuel 16:7 – “The Lord does not look at the things people look at…”

Let this encourage you to keep trusting Him—even after a misstep. He’s still guiding you.

Encouragement for Christians at the End of Their Strength (2 Corinthians 1:8–10)

If you're at the end of your rope—emotionally exhausted, spiritually drained, and barely holding on—this word is for you.

In 2 Corinthians 1:8–10, Paul says he was under such pressure that he despaired of life itself. But it was in that place of total weakness that he discovered a deeper truth:

“This happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God…”

This devotional is your reminder: God does His best work when we have nothing left. When you're out of strength, He becomes your strength.

📖 2 Corinthians 1:9 – “But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”

Encouragement for Christians in Spiritual Warfare (Judges 3:1–2, 4)

Spiritual warfare isn’t always an attack—it may be an assignment. In Judges 3:1–2, God allowed certain nations to remain so that Israel could learn to fight.

God may be allowing opposition in your life not to defeat you, but to train your hands for war—to sharpen your obedience, grow your discernment, and teach you how to stand.

In this devotional, we connect that truth to the Armor of God from Ephesians 6—reminding believers that our greatest weapon in battle is obedience to the Word.

📖 Judges 3:2 – “He did this only to teach warfare to the descendants...”
📖 Ephesians 6 – “Put on the full armor of God…”

Let this word strengthen your spirit: God is preparing you, not punishing you.

Encouragement for Christians to Stand Firm (1 Corinthians 15:56–58)

In a world full of discouragement and spiritual fatigue, this is your reminder: you can stand firm because Christ has already won.

1 Corinthians 15 tells us that death has lost its sting and victory belongs to Jesus. That victory isn’t just theological—it’s fuel for your faithfulness.

Your labor is not in vain. Your obedience, your sacrifice, your endurance—it all matters, because the outcome is already decided.

📖 “Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…” — 1 Corinthians 15:58

Let this devotional encourage you to stay grounded, keep going, and trust that your faithfulness matters.

Encouragement for Christians Learning to Trust God (2 Kings 18–19)

When Hezekiah faced the threat of Sennacherib and the Assyrian army, the odds were stacked against him. The enemy mocked God, tried to intimidate His people, and made trusting the Lord seem foolish.

But Hezekiah chose faith over fear. He took the enemy’s threats and laid them before the Lord. And God answered.

If you're learning to trust God right now—in uncertainty, fear, or overwhelming pressure—this devotional will encourage you.

📖 2 Kings 19:14 – “Hezekiah went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord.”

Let this word remind you: when you trust God with what’s threatening you, He fights the battle for you.

Encouragement for Christians Struggling to See God in Their Trials (Genesis 28:16)

When you're going through pain, confusion, or silence—it can feel like God is nowhere to be found. But in Genesis 28, Jacob had a dream, woke up, and said:

“Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”

This devotional is for anyone who feels forgotten or overlooked by God in the middle of their trial. Just because you don't see Him working doesn't mean He’s not there. His presence isn’t always loud—but it is always faithful.

📖 Genesis 28:16 – “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”

Let this message remind you: He is near—even here.
