5 Encouraging Notes for Strangers

"What on earth do I write?" What started out as a good idea to touch a stranger's heart ended with the pen hovering above a piece of paper. Yeah. I've been there before. Actually, almost every time I've sat down to write an encouraging note. But why am I writing the notes in the first place?

Regardless how comfortable you feel talking to people, writing personal notes and decorating them are a great way to touch someone's heart. And the Bible says: 1 Thessalonians 5:11: "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." These are just some ideas below, and they were harder to come up with than I thought they would be. You can either use these, but I also encourage you to come up with your own or even use these as prompts!

1) Keeping it Simple

"I am praying you have an amazing day! Even if you don't think anyone sees the work you put in for others, God does 💕 Have a blessed day!

2) God is seeking them

"I am praying you have a blessed day! The Lord is seeking after you and will give you wisdom, comfort and peace if you seek after Him in return 💕 Have a blessed day friend!

3) They're not alone

"No matter how alone you might feel, the Lord is with you wherever you go! I am praying you have a blessed day and know that not only God loves you, but I do too!"

4) Calming the anxiety

"In God there is peace and no anxiety if you choose to lean on Him. You don't have to handle life on your own! Praying you have a blessed day!

5) Bible verses to add at the end of the note

Psalm 34:6-8: This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

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.

2 Timothy 1:7: For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Psalm 34:4: I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

I hope you found these helpful! Put in the comments any other encouraging notes we should include so we call can help each other!
