Anxiety threatens to hold women captive and keep them from having the precious peace of Jesus. In the Bible, there are verses that provide instruction for overcoming anxiety and leaning into the peace of God. Women do not have to carry their burdens, but can come to God for consolation, peace, and to lay everything at His feet.

“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken” (Psalm 55:22).

“When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul” (Psalm 94:19).

Like many believers, Christian women may struggle to feel and believe that they are truly forgiven. The enemy may try to keep women down through shame and regret. Sometimes, women may feel that their sins are just too big for God to actually forgive. Scripture teaches that when we confess our sins, God will forgive! Jesus went to the cross and paid the debt for humanity. Scripture teaches to walk in the ways of forgiveness because we are forgiven.

“Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.’ And you forgave the guilt of my sin” (Psalm 32:5).

“The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him” (Daniel 9:9).

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (Colossians 3:13).

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

Verses for Hope

When life gets tough, when a woman goes through a tough season, or when her life takes an unexpected turn, it can be hard to keep hope. Scripture teaches that God is a God of hope! Women can pray for hope – God will hear their prayers and fill them to overflowing with hope. Women can put their hope fully in God, knowing they can depend on Him and that they have been brought into His kingdom.

“But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me” (Micah 7:7).

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people” (Ephesians 1:18).

Women sometimes struggle with accepting God’s grace. At times, they expect too much of themselves and try to achieve perfection, which leaves little room for understanding. Scripture teaches that God is gracious. God wants woman to approach His throne of grace and He will give them grace in times of need. God’s grace will give women the strength they need.

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love” (Psalm 103:8).

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

“Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:1).

“All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5).

Verses for Purpose

Women may feel like they do not have a purpose when they get caught up in their day-to-day life and responsibilities. It is easy to feel directionless when a woman is in a job she does not like, is waiting for clarity from God, or living out the various tasks of motherhood or caretaking. The Bible teaches that all believers have gifts to use, have plans and purposes from God, and can meaningfully serve God in any and every season of life. Even if she can’t see it at the time, God has hopeful plans for her.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms” (Ephesians 4:10).

The Bible covers a wide variety of themes, circumstances, and teachings. It helps women understand who God is and their identity in Him. Women of faith can find inspiration and motivation in their walk with Jesus through these and many other Scripture verses that promote truth, wisdom, and demonstrate God’s goodness.
