Do you know someone whose words came at just the right time and made you feel seen, understood, and stronger? This prayer is a gentle reminder that the encouragement we’ve received is something we can also pass on to others in simple, meaningful ways. Pray this with me.

Dear God,

I want to thank you for all the people you’ve placed in my life who have encouraged me and built me up, especially in times when I really needed it. Their words and actions have been strengthening me for the journey ahead.

Sometimes I fail to offer that same love and encouragement to others, so today I ask for your help to be more intentional in encouraging others and building them up, just as your Word instructs us. Allow me to find simple yet meaningful ways today to support, help, or comfort someone that I love, whether through my actions or my words.

Help me to see encouragement not just as a nice gesture but as a spiritual responsibility that contributes to others’ well-being and growth. Thank you for using me as a vessel to foster spiritual growth, not just for myself, but for the community around me. May we continue to encourage one another and build each other up, just as we are already doing.

Amen.
