Encouraging Bible Verses for Kids


Many kids today need encouragement from the Bible and people who love them. Here are some verses that kids who need encouragement may find helpful. Keep in mind that simply citing verses or providing a printed list by itself is not nearly as powerful as reinforcing the Scripture with genuine love.

In many instances only a phrase from the verse has been included to make it easier for younger children to develop the skill of memorizing Scripture. Links to relevant activities for each verse are included that may help reinforce the learning process. Verses are listed in biblical order.
