Read some of the most influential quotes and scripture that offer deep encouragement.
If people are kicking you in the behind, at least you’re in front of them.
Billy Graham
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything you gave me.”
Erma Bombeck
Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Proverbs 16:3, NIV
am not discouraged because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
Thomas Edison
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9, NIV
God has created me to do him some definitive service. He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission.
John Henry Newman
In this crazy world, there’s an enormous distinction between good times and bad, between sorrow and joy. But in the eyes of God, they’re never separated. Where there is pain, there is healing. Where there is mourning, there is dancing. Where there is poverty, there is the kingdom.
Henri Nouwen
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11, NIV
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose . . . to be conformed to the likeness of his Son . . .
Romans 8:28-29, NIV
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
Betty Reese
am not what I ought to be;
I am not what I would like to be;
I am not what I hope to be.
But I am not what I once was,
and by the grace of God, I am what I am.
John Newton

I was searching for some encouraging quotes for a friend when I found your page. I had to share them. Thank you so much and may God richly bless your site so that His words will flow through you, to the world to increase His kingdom and bless all who stumble upon your site. I truly feel that others will not just stumble, but be led here. You are a vessel that He wants to use.

I received a prayer request from a friend in the UK. Her name is Wendy Sparkes and her father is going through Cancer treatment. I have never met Wendy in person, we are both aspiring Christian authors and have only communicated via e-mail. As a friend, I wanted to send Wendy some encouraging words during this difficult time for her and her family. God led me to your blog. I just wanted to leave you a note and share that I was blessed by visiting here and know you will continue to touch others through this site. Please also pray for Wendy’s family:
Michael & Rosalind (Dad & Mum)Wendy (me), Lynne (sister), Fiona & Roy (sister & brother-in-law), Karen (sister).
Wendy’s specific prayer requests were:
Please pray that: (1) he has a swift recovery, (2) he adapts well to his revised condition, (3) any pain is kept under control (4) Mum and we girls are given the strength and wisdom to aid him as he needs, (5) the assembly continues to be well provided for during his absence, and (6) his testimony throughout continues to bring glory to the Lord.
Thank you for the encouraging note Gary. Wendy and her father are in my prayers. He will keep them in the palm of his hand during this difficult time, and provide encouragment and love all around them. God is always faithful!
