9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you,for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
The Macedonia church family loved each other as we see in the verse above. Yet Paul, who wrote this letter, felt the urge to encourage them to have even more love for each other.
Hannah prayed in 1 Samuel 1:10 for a child and even made a vow to God to give her son to Him.
Paul and Silas were in prison and chained but found encouragement in their prayers and singing.
Acts 16
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
I Googled “encourage yourself in the Lord” and a website came up with 100 Bible verses with encouragement.

Sometimes we just need to do it for ourselves. There might be a situation where no one is around or we don’t want to share with others that we need encouragement. Depending on yourself to turn toward God for the answers grows with us in maturity and understanding.
I can’t go wrong with God. He is there for me always. He is never too busy or distracted to take the time to listen and give me encouragement.
May God Bless
