DAY 22 – WRITE A NOTE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO SOMEONE
THEME: THE MINISTRY OF WORDS
FOCUS: SMALL GESTURES WITH LASTING IMPACT
PRACTICE:
Today, take a few minutes to write a short note of encouragement to someone. It could be a friend who’s having a hard time, a coworker doing good work behind the scenes, a family member who could use a reminder of their worth, or even someone you admire from afar. This could be a handwritten card, a quick email, a thoughtful text, or even a voice message—what matters is your intention.
You don’t need to have the perfect words. Just speak from the heart. Tell them what you see in them. Remind them they are not alone. Offer hope, affirmation, or even just a simple thank-you.

SCRIPTURE:
“Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NRSV)
In a weary world, encouragement is a sacred act. Words spoken in love carry the Spirit’s breath.
Even the smallest kindness can become a lifeline of hope.
PRAYER:
God of compassion and connection,
Give me eyes to see who needs a kind word today.
Let my message carry grace.
Use my simple encouragement to remind someone they are deeply loved,
and help me remember that love multiplies when shared.
Amen.
