Lord God, You are my ultimate encourager — the One who lifts me when I am weary and comforts me when my heart feels heavy. I thank You for Your constant presence and tender care. Help me not only to receive Your encouragement but also to share it freely with others. Open my eyes to those around me who need a kind word or a loving gesture. Use my voice, my actions, and my heart to bring Your joy into their lives. Thank You, Lord, for the blessing of being both comforted and called to comfort others. May I reflect Your love in every interaction today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
