Powerful Bible Verses for Empowering Women

Life has not been easy lately. From starting my own business with two other partners, (while we all three work other jobs), to relearning how to incorporate fitness and nutrition into my life in the season I am now in, I have had to HEAVILY lean on the Lord.

My world was completely rocked on February 12, 2024, when the agency I was working for changed the course of my path. And PRAISE GOD that it did.

Although it has been hard, and I have had a ton of ups and downs battling the enemy and navigating essentially a whole new life these past few months, I continuously remind myself to lean on the Lord to carry me through.

No matter what season you’re in, I encourage you to constantly lean on your faith in the Lord to guide and empower you. His word provides us with the strength and inspiration we need to face each day with courage and grace.

Verses like Proverbs 31:25 and Philippians 4:13 remind me of the inner strength and dignity that come from a life rooted in faith.

Joshua 1:9 and Esther 4:14 encourage me to be bold and courageous, knowing that God is always by my side.

Save these for later: write them on a note card and put them on your mirror in your bathroom, on your computer on your desk at work, as your screen saver on your phone.

Take what you need:

1. Proverbs 31:25

   - "Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come."

2. Philippians 4:13

   - "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

3. Joshua 1:9

   - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

4. Esther 4:14

   - "For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

5. Psalm 46:5

   - "God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns."

6. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

   - "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love."

7. Isaiah 40:31

   - "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

8. Psalm 139:14

   - "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well."

9. Romans 8:31

   - "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"

10. 2 Timothy 1:7

    - "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."

As you reflect on these powerful verses, I pray you find renewed hope and confidence, assured that with God’s presence, you can overcome any challenge and fulfill your purpose with love and determination.

It feels good to be back to what I have for so long felt the Lord call me for.

You got this, friend.
