2023 Verse of the Year

The Bible verse shared, bookmarked, and highlighted most often by the global YouVersion Community during 2023 is…

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10

As you look back on this year, think of a time when you needed to be reminded of God’s Presence, His love, and His strength.

Maybe you need those things right now.

You’re a part of a global Community experiencing the same hope in different languages and countries around the world.

You’re not alone.

Think of someone in your life who needs to hear that God is with them today, and encourage them with this special Verse Image.

Thank you for helping us reach our goal this Giving Tuesday!

Family smiling

We’re grateful for our Community!

We are amazed at what God can do through the generosity of our global Community when we all come together.

This year, we had over 78,000 people give during Giving Tuesday!

Together, we exceeded the US$2 million match.

By giving to YouVersion, you help get the Bible to even more people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to it. People like Yamil, who say:

“The app as a whole has been nothing short of a spiritual anchor in my life. It provides both solace and guidance, always pointing me towards deeper communion with God.”

YAMIL, PUERTO RICO

We are so thankful for a Community that chooses to live generously and be part of this Giving Tuesday movement!

And, we believe God is still going to do infinitely more to reach people around the world.

Let’s reach millions this Giving Tuesday!

God can do more with your generosity than you imagine

When you give a gift today, it could double.

Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar given by our Community this Giving Tuesday will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to US$2 million total. So if we reach US$2 million today, it automatically becomes US$4 million!

Whether it’s US$10, US$25, or US$100, whatever you’re able to give will have twice the impact, helping millions of people around the world experience God’s Word.

Imagine what could happen if everyone in our Community gave a gift today!

A Prayer for Giving Tuesday

Together, let’s impact the world.

When we choose to live generously, we can make a difference in the lives of millions of people around the world.

As Giving Tuesday approaches, imagine what could happen if the entire global YouVersion Community —made up of millions of people—joined together and leaned into generosity.

As we enter a season of giving, let’s pray and ask God how He is inviting us to be generous right now.

God,

Thank You for inviting us to share Your love with the world by living generously—just like You.

Show us how we can be generous with what You’ve given us right now. Remind us that it is not about how much we give but about surrendering to Your Spirit so You can work in and through us.

Help us to surrender everything to You because everything we have comes from You.

May our faith grow as we lean into Your generosity.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen.

Save Prayer

As you continue to pray, if you want to prepare to give this Giving Tuesday, you can schedule your gift for Tuesday, November 28.

And, when you give on Giving Tuesday, your gift goes even further. Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar given will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to US$2 million total.

Together, let’s lean into the gift of generosity!
