PonderingGod - A Pretzel of Encouragement

Life can be hard sometimes, but it can also be wonderful. God calls us to encourage one another on this journey. Sometimes encouragement is given, and sometimes it is needed.  Today I share ideas on How to encourage one another and ways that I have been encouraged. So don't give up! Keep trusting him, and look for the pretzel!

He promises never to leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), to give us strength and courage (Joshua 1:9), to work all things for our good (Romans 8:28), to supply all our needs (Philippians 4:19), to forgive our sins (1 John 1:9), to heal our wounds (Psalm 147:3), to comfort us in our sorrows (2 Corinthians 1:3-4), and to give us eternal life (John 3:16). Whenever you feel discouraged or hopeless, remind yourself of these truths and claim them by faith.
