Uplifting Bible Verses for Women 1: Faith & Strength

In my life, I have moments when faith feels fragile and strength seems far away - perhaps other women can relate? Even in these times, God’s Word reminds us that we are never left to navigate life in our own power. These uplifting Bible verses for women reveal a God who keeps His promises, clothes His daughters with strength, and stays close to us in every season. If you are seeking renewed courage, deeper peace, or reassurance that God is with you, I hope these Scriptures will encourage and uplift you as they do for me. These uplifting Bible verses for women remind us that strength and faith come from God’s promises, His presence, and our identity in Him.

Uplifting Bible Verses for Women: Trusting God’s Promises in Seasons of Waiting and Believing God Will Fulfill His Word

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.”  

Luke 1:45

These encouraging words from Elizabeth to Mary encourage me today.  Mary visits a dear friend while she herself was in a season of uncertainty.  Elizabeth praises Mary for having faith in advance: “she who has believed that the Lord would”.  Look at the tenses here: Mary “believed” (right now, already believing) that the Lord “would fulfill” (He hasn’t fulfilled His promise just yet). Mary hasn’t seen the fulfillment of the promise yet, but has no doubt that He will come through.

Have you ever found yourself in that “in-between” time? Oh friend, I have. The Lord spoke, the Lord gave guidance, the Lord gave assurance through His Holy Spirit - but the evidence of His hand has not yet been revealed in the natural. You know the in-between: a prayer for healing that has not yet come, a prayer for the prodigal who has not yet returned home, a prayer for peace in a time of transition before the next season is fully revealed….

While you are in-between, know that you are blessed in the believing even before the fulfillment! Your God is faithful and the fulfillment of His promise to you is coming! This is the time to lean in to the Scripture, find and confess those uplifting Bible verses for women.

How Faith Strengthens Women Through Uncertainty

I am also encouraged by Mary’s response to Elizabeth’s encouragement (go on and read Luke 1:46-56!). When Elizabeth reminds Mary that there is a blessing to believe the Lord in certainty and uncertainty alike, Mary’s faith is strengthened again. Don’t miss verse 56: “Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.” If you need community, find it.  Help is not less valuable if you have to ask for it.  Friendship is not less valuable if you have to ask for it. In an uncertain time, Mary exercised her faith AND sought out community to strengthen her. 

God sees your need.  His plans for you are good.  He cannot lie.  ““Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.” Make that statement personal, re-write it with your name. Luke 1:45-56 is a passage of powerful and uplifting Bible verses for women who want to strengthen their faith during seasons of waiting.

Bible Verses for Women: Embracing God-Given Strength and Dignity; Confidence Rooted in Identity, Not Circumstances

“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.” 

Proverbs 31:25

I like how the Amplified translates this: “Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; And she smiles at the future [knowing that she and her family are prepared].” 

The “Proverbs 31 woman” is sometimes comfort and sometimes challenge to me, LOL!  In this verse, I am encouraged, and I notice the same future tense that we see in Luke 1:45 - she is smiling during the “in-between”.  She is dressed and prepared in advance of the promise fulfilled, smiling at a future that is yet unseen and has not come to pass. 

In certain times and uncertain times alike, our Proverbs 31 woman prepares in advance, dresses in strength and dignity in advance, and is able to smile in the in-between. Ask yourself: are you smiling at the future?  To be honest, I love when the Lord reveals a new season - and also I feel the in-between keenly. I’m rarely the one to initiate change - I generally get happy where I am and enjoy a routine.  However, (I didn’t know I was gonna quote Will Smith,  but here we are), “if you stay ready, you ain’t got to get ready”. In a change of season, Scripture is an anchor for us, a place to stand.

In this way, we can live anchored in God’s promises rather than anxious in circumstances.  We can carry ourselves with God-given identity. We can face the unknown with a peaceful heart.  We can smile at the future, even when the only surety is that God’s plans are good. Again: lean in to the Scripture, find and confess those uplifting Bible verses for women.

Laughing at the Future Because God Holds It

In smiling at the future like our friend in Proverbs 31:25, this uplifting Bible verse for women encourages us to embrace our God-given purpose with confidence - whether or not we know exactly what the future holds! Stay in the Word at all times - stay ready so you don’t have to get ready! 

Anchored by God’s Presence When Life Feels Overwhelming; Learning to Rest in God’s Ever-Present Help

“God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.”

Psalm 46:5 

Before I lose you here, I know that the “she” in this verse refers to a city. However, it works for our purposes and doesn’t damage the integrity of the Word. Psalm 46:5 is a favorite, possibly one of the most comforting Bible verses for women seeking reassurance of God’s nearness and support. God is in your midst!  Another favorite verse with that phrase: 

“The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17

Look at all these references to the future: she shall, God shall (Psalm 46:5); He will, He will, He will, He will (Zeph. 3:17). While we are in our in-between, God’s promises stand. His presence is a source of unshakeable strength - if we accept it! 

Another point to note: even in chaos, God upholds and steadies. Nothing is uncertain to Him, even when times may feel uncertain to us. One more maybe even more important point to note: “She will not fail” because God holds her, not because she strives harder. (I need to spend more time on this one in a future blog - let’s put a bookmark there for another day!) This is the Lord’s work - trust Him as He cares for you and your in-between.

Walking in God’s Promises Every Day

As you continue reflecting on these uplifting Bible verses for women, remember that spiritual strength grows the same way physical strength does — through consistent, intentional practice. Faith isn’t about having everything figured out; it’s about choosing to trust God in the small moments just as much as the big ones. Whether you’re believing for a promise, navigating change, or simply trying to stay encouraged, God meets you in the everyday places. His Word gives you wisdom for decisions, peace for anxious thoughts, and courage to keep moving forward. When you return to Scripture again and again, you’ll find that God steadies your heart and reminds you of who you are in Him: chosen, loved, and never forgotten.

Strength, Faith, and Peace That Lasts Through Every Season

In every season, God equips His daughters with faith, strength, and courage. His Word anchors your heart and reminds you who you are in Him. As you reflect on these Bible verses for women, may your heart be steadied by the truth that God is within you, strengthening you, guiding you, and speaking His promises over your life. Whether you are waiting, rebuilding, hoping, or simply trying to stand strong, He is faithful. Let His Word anchor your identity and remind you that in every moment, you are held, supported, and deeply loved by the One who calls you His own. Isn’t that a treasure?
