Life isn’t always easy. Jesus knew this and told us as much in John’s Gospel, telling “In the world, you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” When we remember that Jesus has conquered the world, it can help remind us that whatever issue we need help with, it’s in the context of Jesus conquering the world and loving us so much. Spend time with these Bible verses to hopefully feel the encouragement that only God can offer.
Let Hallow help you pray when you’re seeking Bible Verses for encouragement.
No matter what you’re facing or what you’re feeling, God is not far from you. We draw especially close to God when we spend time reflecting on Scripture.

If spending some time with these bible verses for encouragement sparked a desire inside of you to dive more deeply into God’s Word, consider exploring Hallow’s guide to Lectio Divina.
Lectio Divina is a meditative way of reading the Bible where we open our hearts and minds to try to understand how God is speaking to us personally through the Scripture we read.
It’s not Bible study or simply analyzing text. Rather, Lectio Divina recognizes that Scripture can become God’s living Word for each of us.
