6 Biblical Ways to Encourage Yourself and Others

Living a life of encouragement means intentionally helping yourself and others find courage, hope, truth, and strength, especially during difficult times. When we encourage others, we often get encouraged, too.

1. Begin Each Day With God Through Prayer

Encourage someone by calling, sending a thoughtful note, providing a meal, offering transportation, helping with a task, or praying together. Treat others as you would want to be treated.

2. Encourage Others Through Meaningful Christian Actions

Call someone, send a note, provide a meal, offer transportation, help with a task, or pray with someone. Do to others as you would want them to do to you.
