Here’s how you can help spread hope.

HE WILL ACHIEVE INFINITELY MORE
than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!

Ephesians 3:20

You’re staying inside as much as possible, practicing social distancing, and checking in on family, friends, and neighbors. We’d love to suggest an additional way you can extend your care for others.

Something historic is happening.

While we’re all facing challenges in the middle of a global pandemic, what you may not realize is that we’re also experiencing a season of great spiritual awakening. All over the world, people are searching for answers and hope. And what millions are finding is an invitation into a relationship with God.

During the past six weeks we’ve witnessed God moving in amazing ways as we saw the largest engagement increase ever, with more people searching the Bible for hope and peace, sharing Bible verses and Verse Images with others, and engaging in God’s Word with their families through the Bible App for Kids. And we’ve seen more than 1.6 million prayers added in just the last month. Our volunteer community is more involved than ever too, offering their time and talents to serve the global YouVersion Community.

“YouVersion has given me access to the Bible, increasing my relationship with God and allowing me to connect with His Word every single day. It’s such a blessing to have and I’m so thankful to be reminded of good messages in troubling times.” – Imani S

But it’s only the beginning.

We know that God wants to do so much more as He continues to draw people closer from all over the world. So many people will point back to this chapter in history as a defining moment in their relationship with God. This work matters now, and it matters in eternity.

And you can be a part of it.

We wholeheartedly believe that a daily rhythm of seeking intimacy with God has the power to transform lives. Our hope is that each person in our community is on a vital journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him, and drawing closer every day. We recognize that there are many needs in our communities today, and we’re continuing to pray together for our world and for people who are struggling financially.

We also recognize that many are looking to support work that is giving hope to people. We’d be honored to partner together in this mission as we help guide people from every country on Earth to seek our amazing, loving God every single day.

A Prayer for the Financially Hurting

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory - Philippians 4:19 - Verse Image

God, You know what we’re going through. And we’re thankful You can take the hardest circumstances and turn them around for our good and Your glory.

You can restore all things—so we’re asking You to restore lost jobs, finances, relationships, resources, and hopes.

Show anyone struggling financially that You hold them close, and surround them with people who will help them through this time. Please meet their immediate needs as they trust You for long-term solutions.

Turn fear into faith as Your good plans for them unfold. As they wait on You, renew their hope and give them the courage to dream again. Remind them of their value, and fill them with peace.

Our God, come and do what only You can do.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Living Hope - A Countdown to Easter

No matter what you’re facing today, Jesus’ resurrection means evil doesn’t win — even when you find yourself surrounded by darkness.

Over the next 3 days, discover how to hold onto hope by immersing yourself in the Easter story with this YouVersion Originals Plan.


Day 1: “Why have You forsaken me?” Imagine you’re watching Jesus hang from the cross. The only way He can breathe is by pushing Himself up using the nails in His wrists and ankles. As the day draws to an end, He musters what little strength He has left to pull Himself up again so that He can cry out: “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” If we’re being honest with ourselves, we’ve all probably had moments where we’ve asked God, “Where are You in this? Why have You forsaken me?” How should we respond when we find ourselves in situations where we feel alone, anxious, or forsaken?
