Home is where we do life. It’s where we wake up, tuck little ones into bed, and make a thousand tiny choices each day. And for me, I want every room in our house to whisper something deeper than just "style" I want it to reflect peace, warmth, and God’s presence. That’s why when I decorate, I start with two things in mind: God’s Word and a soft, gentle palette. Over the years, I’ve found that a framed Bible verse in a quiet corner or a soft cream-colored throw on the couch can do more for my soul than a trendy piece of furniture ever could. Our homes should be places where the Spirit of God is felt in the calm, where children and guests feel a sense of belonging, and where every detail invites us to slow down and remember what matters most. Here are a few of my favorite ways to bring that gentle spirit into every room—along with the verses that guide me. The Living Room – A Space for Peace and Presence This is where we gather. Where we fold laundry, talk through hard days, and share laughter. I want this space to say: you’re safe here. It’s the heart of the home, where the light comes in and life happens. More than any other room, this is where I want the atmosphere to reflect both joy and calm, a place where we can feel God’s goodness on ordinary days. Living room Christian wall art is a wonderful element to begin the journey of turning your home into a living inspirational source of light. Decor Tip:Stick to warm neutrals, like oatmeal, linen, and soft whites. Add cozy textures, pillows, woven throws, maybe a wood-framed verse on the wall. A simple framed print with elegant lettering can be the focal point above the mantle or near the family photos. Verses to Feature: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” – Psalm 136:1 “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” – Isaiah 32:18 Psalm 136:1 reminds me to center the living room on gratitude. It’s easy to get caught up in the mess, the laundry piles, the noise. But when I see that verse each day, I remember: God’s love is constant, even in the chaos. Isaiah 35:1–2 reminds me that even dry places can blossom with joy. And when paired with Isaiah 32:18, it paints a fuller picture: our kitchens can be peaceful dwelling places too. It’s not just about flowers blooming in the wilderness, but about creating a space where hearts feel secure and loved. Even during a busy dinner prep or a morning rush, this verse encourages me to bring a quiet spirit into the room, making the kitchen a place of rest, not just routine. The kitchen, though often busy and full of chores, can be a place of growth, joy, and life when we let God bring beauty into our routines. The small daily acts of cooking and cleaning become holy when they are done in His name.   The Kitchen – A Place of Gratitude The kitchen is more than a place to cook. It’s where we gather, chat over coffee, and serve one another. It holds the rhythm of family life. I want it to reflect gratitude and grace. When I prepare meals, I often whisper prayers over the stove, thanking God for daily bread, for the chance to serve, for nourishment. If the living room is the heart of home, decorating your kitchen with Christian wall art is the secret sauce that makes that heart shine even more. Decor Tip:Choose simple artwork, for example a small wooden sign near your pantry or stove. Creams, soft greens, or buttery yellows bring light without chaos. Open shelving can hold more than dishes. Think framed verse cards or mini Scripture signs tucked between jars and mugs. Verses to Feature: “Give us today our daily bread.” – Matthew 6:11 “The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.” – Isaiah 35:1–2 Matthew 6:11 reminds me that every meal prepared, every plate washed, and every bite shared is a reflection of God's daily care for us. It's easy to overlook how sacred the kitchen really is. This verse brings me back to the simplicity of trust. To wake up, prepare food, and thank Him for what we have today. Not tomorrow. Just today. It helps me stay present, and it makes the small acts of service in the kitchen feel holy. Isaiah 35:1–2 reminds me that even dry places can blossom with joy. The kitchen, though often busy and full of chores, can be a place of growth, joy, and life when we let God bring beauty into our routines. The small daily acts of cooking and cleaning become holy when they are done in His name.   The Bedroom – A Sanctuary of Rest In the bedroom, I want to create peaceful surrender. A place to lay down burdens, not just our heads. It should be a refuge from the noise and demands of the day. It should be a space where we can meet God in stillness and be reminded that rest is holy. Decor Tip:Stick with soft bedding in whites, dusty blues, or blush. Keep wall art simple. Maybe one powerful verse above the bed or a small frame on the nightstand. Candles, soft lighting, and natural textures create a space that calms the senses. Verses to Feature: “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” – Psalm 4:8 “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” – Matthew 5:44 I’ve read Psalm 4:8 aloud more than once when I’ve had a heavy heart at bedtime. It reminds me that no matter what the day held, I can trust Him to watch over me and bring me peace. And Matthew 5:44, though challenging, calls me to release bitterness before sleep. To let go of any tension I carry and offer forgiveness and prayer. Decorating with this verse reminds me to end each day with love, even when it’s hard. I’ve read this aloud more than once when I’ve had a heavy heart at bedtime. It reminds me that no matter what the day held, I can trust Him to watch over me and bring me peace. Decorating with this verse as bedroom Christian wall art reminds me to end each day with love, even when it’s hard   The Bathroom – Small but Sacred It may sound funny, but I believe even our bathrooms can hold peace. That quiet moment brushing teeth or washing your face is a chance to pause and breathe. These spaces may be small, but they can carry sacred reminders. Decor Tip:A single verse by the mirror or soft print on a shelf is enough. Keep colors pale and calming, like water itself. Soft mint, dove gray, or warm white tones create a fresh, serene atmosphere. Verse to Feature: “Create in me a clean heart, O God.” – Psalm 51:10 It’s perfect for the space. A quiet, lovely way to pray as you start your day. Even simple self-care becomes an act of renewal when Scripture is present. Psalm 51:10 reminds me that God doesn’t just care about what’s seen on the outside. He is always at work in our inner world. As I wash my face or brush my teeth, looking at this verse nudges me to ask: Lord, not just a clean body, but a clean spirit too. It transforms my routine into a moment of surrender, where I let go of yesterday’s mistakes and ask for a heart renewed by grace. A clean heart is a fresh beginning, and what better place to be reminded of that than in the first moments of a new day? A quiet, lovely way to pray as you start your day. Even simple self-care becomes an act of renewal when Scripture is present.   The Kids' Room – Truth from the Start Children’s rooms should feel joyful, but also rooted in truth. I want my little ones to grow up with Scripture not just in their heads, but on their walls. Their bedrooms are their first sacred spaces—where they begin to understand who they are and who God is. Decor Tip:Choose pastel tones or warm neutrals. Soft animal prints, gentle patterns, and verses they’ll come to love. Frame verses in childlike fonts or artwork that speaks to who they are becoming. Let the room reflect not just whimsy, but purpose. Verse to Feature: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” – Psalm 139:14 Hang it where they can see it often, above their bed or changing table. It plants identity deeper than any trend ever could. This verse reminds our children (and us) that their value isn’t based on performance or appearance. It’s based on being made by a loving Creator. I love including this verse in their room because it affirms them in truth every single day. On difficult mornings or uncertain days, it gently whispers, “You are wonderfully made.” And when we surround them with that message visually, it becomes part of how they see themselves and how they see God. Above their bed or changing table. It plants identity deeper than any trend ever could.   The Hallway – A Path with Purpose Even a simple hallway can become a moment of reflection. These spaces connect the rooms where life unfolds—why not use them to connect our hearts to truth? Decor Tip:Use vertical space for a gallery wall of framed verses to remind your family of what truly matters as they walk from room to room. Mix photos with Scripture for a personal, meaningful look. Verse to Feature: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” – Proverbs 3:5 Let the hallway itself become a path of truth, from one room of grace to the next. With every step, we are reminded to trust, to follow, to walk in love. This verse is a daily invitation to surrender our worries and plans to the Lord. Hallways are places of transition, and Proverbs 3:5 reminds us that no matter where we’re going or what lies ahead, we are not walking alone. Decorating with this verse helps me slow down and remember that God's wisdom is greater than mine, and His path is always worth following. itself become a path of truth, from one room of grace to the next. With every step, we are reminded to trust, to follow, to walk in love.   Final Thoughts: Let Scripture Be the Centerpiece You don’t need expensive furniture or perfect paint colors to make a house feel like home. What brings real peace is the presence of God and His Word filling the quiet spaces of your life. When guests step into your home, may they feel comfort. When your kids look around, may they see truth. And when you sit down with your coffee in the morning, may your eyes land on something that reminds you: He is here. This home is His.  

As a Christian mother, I’ve always believed that our homes should reflect the peace and purpose we carry in our hearts. That’s why I love decorating with Bible verses wall art. Each framed verse becomes more than decor, it becomes a reminder of God’s presence in our daily lives. Let me take you through how I use Christian wall art to bless every room in our home, from the kitchen to the nursery. Christian Wall Art for the Living Room  Rooted in Gratitude "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever."  Psalm 136:1 Our living room is the heart of the home, where we gather as a family to talk, rest, and share stories. I chose Psalm 136:1 as the verse for this space and framed it in soft oak. It reminds us daily to carry a spirit of thankfulness. When guests visit, they often comment on the warm feel of the room. That’s the beauty of Christian wall art for the living room: it turns a space into a sanctuary of grace. Christian Wall Art for the Kitchen  Nourishment and New Life "Give us today our daily bread."  Matthew 6:11"The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom."  Isaiah 35:12 The kitchen is where life happens, meals, snacks, and long talks over coffee. Christian wall art for the kitchen helps remind me that God is in the small things too. Matthew 6:11 grounds me in gratitude for daily provision. And Isaiah 35:12, placed above the windowsill, speaks to me during those moments when life feels dry. Even in busy or hard seasons, God brings blooming. Christian Wall Art for the Bedroom  A Place to Lay It All Down "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."  Matthew 5:44 I’ll admit, this verse surprised me when I felt led to place it in our bedroom. But the truth is, this room is where I ask God to soften my heart each night. Bible wall art for the bedroom brings that gentle whisper from God: forgive, let go, trust Me. I paired it with calm blues and soft lighting to create a space where peace can settle in. Christian Wall Art for the Nursery  Loved and Wonderfully Made "I praise You because I am fearful and wonderfully made."  Psalm 139:14 When preparing the nursery, this verse was the first thing that came to mind. Scriptures wall art for the nursery should be sweet, true, and filled with love. I framed Psalm 139:14 above the crib and added soft watercolors around it. As my little ones grow, I pray this verse is planted deep in their hearts a lifelong reminder of their worth. Bathroom  Cleansing Inside and Out "Create in me a clean heart, O God."  Psalm 51:10 Each morning, I start the day brushing my teeth and reading this verse above the mirror. It centers me in a quiet, personal way. The bathroom may be small, but it’s still a place where God meets me. This verse makes the ordinary moment sacred. Hallway or Entryway  Trust for the Journey "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."  Proverbs 3:5"My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest."  Isaiah 32:18 Our hallway is a space of transitional bridge between home and the outside world. I chose Proverbs 3:5 as a verse we see right before stepping out. It’s our reminder to walk by faith. And Isaiah 32:18, hanging near the coat rack, reaffirms that this house is a place of peace. Office or Workspace  Grounded in Purpose "Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord."  Psalm 119:12 In my work corner, this verse gives clarity and purpose. Even when I’m tackling spreadsheets or writing out meal plans, I want to honor God in it. A simple frame, clean desk, and this Scripture for the office creates a space where I can focus and stay grounded. Bible verses wall art isn’t just about decoration, it's about truth woven into everyday life. Whether you’re refreshing your kitchen or preparing a nursery, Christian wall art helps center your home in faith. Each room becomes more than a space; it becomes a reflection of your walk with God. And when others walk through your door, they can feel it too.  

“Should I let this go—or do I need to take a stand?” I’ll be honest—this is something I still wrestle with. There are moments when someone hurts me, and I wonder: Should I show grace, or speak up and be firm? With my kids, too—some days I feel soft-hearted and quick to forgive, and the next I wonder if I’ve been too gentle and should’ve been stronger. It’s confusing, isn’t it? We’re called to be merciful like Jesus, but we also know that love sometimes means setting boundaries, correcting gently, or even walking away when something isn’t right. What I’ve learned is that mercy and justice aren’t opposites. In fact, God calls us to both. And when I look to Scripture, I see example after example of a loving God who corrects in love and forgives in compassion. That balance inspires how I want to live and parent and love. So today I want to share seven Bible verses that have helped me walk this fine line between mercy and justice—with God’s guidance. Micah 6:8 “…And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” This verse is like a compass for my heart. It reminds me I don’t have to choose between justice and mercy—God asks us to do both. When I discipline my children or make a hard decision in a relationship, I try to check my motives: Am I walking humbly? Am I choosing justice with compassion?   Proverbs 3:12 "For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights." This verse helps me reframe discipline. Correction isn’t rejection—it’s care. I’ve learned that firm boundaries don’t mean I’m unloving. Quite the opposite. When I correct my kids calmly and with purpose, I’m imitating the Father who lovingly guides us, even when it’s hard. See our Proverbs Wall Art.   James 2:13 "Mercy triumphs over judgment." This verse has saved me from saying words I’d regret. When I’m angry or tempted to judge, I remember—God’s mercy wins. Even when I need to be firm, I can still speak gently. Even when I’m hurt, I can lead with grace.   Ecclesiastes 3:1,3 "There is a time for everything… a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build." This verse helps me pause before reacting. Not every moment is the time for confrontation. And not every offense should be overlooked. God gives us wisdom to know the season we’re in. Sometimes, it’s a time to be quiet and let love cover a fault. Other times, it’s a moment to lovingly speak the truth.   Luke 6:36 "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." This is the tone I want in my home—mercy first. I want my kids to know that yes, we have rules and structure, but also open arms. God’s mercy is our model. When I’m tempted to be cold or strict just for control’s sake, I return to this: Be merciful. Like Him. See our Luke Wall Art.   Isaiah 1:17 "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." Justice isn’t just for courtrooms—it’s for kitchens and classrooms and sidewalks. This verse reminds me that being just often means being bold. It means stepping in, protecting others, standing up for truth—even when it’s uncomfortable. It means raising my children to see fairness as a holy calling. Proverbs 21:3 "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice." God values our integrity more than our performance. This verse keeps me grounded when I feel like I’m “doing all the right things,” but not walking in love or fairness. He wants our hearts, not our routines. He wants our yes to justice, even when it costs us. I used to think mercy and justice were opposites. Now I see they’re partners in love. Some days you’ll be called to show compassion that surprises others. Other days you’ll have to stand firm, even when your voice shakes. Both can be acts of love. Both reflect the heart of our Father. So when you’re unsure, go to His Word. Let Scripture shape your response. And trust that He will lead you with both gentleness and strength.

Every day we face decisions—some small, like how to spend our time, and others that feel life-changing. Whether it’s a parenting choice, a financial crossroad, or something weighing heavy on your heart, wisdom is one of the greatest gifts we can ask from God. And thankfully, the Bible is full of guidance for making choices with clarity and faith. Here are 12 verses I turn to when I need direction, discernment, and a reminder that I don’t have to figure it all out on my own. God’s Word has a way of speaking right into the confusion and calming the swirl of options.   1. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This is my anchor when I’m tempted to rely only on what I see. His wisdom surpasses mine, and that’s a comfort. See our Proverbs 3:5-6 Prints   2. James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." I have whispered this verse so many times before making a hard choice. God wants to help us—He is not withholding clarity.   3. Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." God not only gives direction, He does it with love. I picture Him gently guiding me with a Father’s care. See our Psalm Wall Art   4. Isaiah 30:21 "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’" This verse reassures me that even when the path looks unclear, His Spirit will whisper the right way in my heart.   5. Proverbs 16:9 "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Planning is wise, but I’ve learned to hold my plans loosely. God always sees the bigger picture.   6. Colossians 3:15 "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace." I’ve come to see that peace is often the clearest indicator of the right decision. If there’s no peace, I wait.   7. Proverbs 19:20 "Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise." This verse reminds me not to shut out wise counsel. Sometimes God speaks through the people He’s placed around us.   8. Ecclesiastes 7:12 "Wisdom preserves those who have it." This is short, but powerful. Wisdom is protection. Choosing carefully often saves us from regret.   9. Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." When I’m overwhelmed with options, this verse gives me courage to pause and pray. God wants to show us more than we can imagine.   10. Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God... will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I turn here when I feel frozen in indecision. This verse helps me take the pressure off and hand it all to Him. See our Philippians 4:6-7 Prints   11. Proverbs 4:7 "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." It’s a reminder to value wisdom above convenience. Sometimes the right path takes effort, but it’s worth it.   12. Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." When the next step feels uncertain, His Word gives just enough light to keep walking in faith. See our Psalm 119 Prints We don’t have to make decisions alone. The Lord is ready to guide us, to give wisdom when we ask, and to shape our hearts along the way. If you’re in the middle of a decision today, take a breath, open your Bible, and invite Him in. His direction might not always come instantly, but it will always come with love. And if you’d like to keep one of these reminders close—perhaps by the coffee maker or in your workspace—our scripture prints are a beautiful way to surround your home with peace and clarity.

When our hearts are hurting, our bodies are tired, or we feel emotionally worn thin, the Word of God becomes a balm for the soul. I’ve had seasons where I didn’t have the words to pray, but I could hold onto His promises. Healing and restoration may not always come in the way we expect, but God is faithful. These verses have brought me comfort in difficult times and reminded me that God is the ultimate healer, restorer, and redeemer. Here are 10 beautiful verses that speak healing over our lives, many of which we have featured as framed artwork at Prayers and Prints. Surrounding your home with these reminders brings peace not only to your heart, but to your family too. 1. Jeremiah 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord." I keep this one close during times when healing feels far away. It's a promise—not a maybe, but a declaration from God that He will restore. I’ve clung to it in quiet moments, and it never fails to bring a calm strength to my spirit. This verse was a lifeline for me during a recovery season. It reminded me to hold on, even when I couldn't see the end of the road. 2. Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." This verse speaks to every tender part of me. God sees the hidden pain, the ache that doesn’t show on the outside, and He gently tends to it. (You’ll also find this verse in one of our prints—it’s especially meaningful as a gift for someone in a season of grief.) After a close friend passed, I read this every day. It gave me the words I couldn’t say and reminded me that God was tending to the ache. 3. Isaiah 41:10 "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." In times of illness or emotional struggle, this verse reminds me that I’m not fighting alone. God promises not only to heal, but to uphold and strengthen. He is present through every stage of the journey. When someone in my family faced surgery, I wrote this on a sticky note and placed it by the kitchen sink. Reading it brought steady peace through long days. 4. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Healing often starts with rest—deep, spiritual rest. Jesus invites us to come to Him, just as we are. No need to have it all together. If you feel weighed down, this verse is an open door. There were mornings when I felt too exhausted to pray, but this verse reminded me that simply coming to Him was enough. 5. 1 Peter 5:10 "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." This one gets me every time. God is not distant from our pain—He sees it, walks with us through it, and then rebuilds us with His own hands. (This verse is also available in our collection as a framed reminder of His grace.) It was during one of my loneliest seasons that this verse reminded me restoration was coming. I just had to hold on. 6. James 5:15 "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up." Prayer has such power. This verse encourages me to keep praying, especially for those who are sick—physically, emotionally, spiritually. God hears, and He moves. I remember placing my hands on my child's feverish forehead and quietly whispering this verse. It gave me strength in the waiting. 7. Psalm 23:3 "He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake." Even before physical healing, sometimes our souls just need refreshing. I think of this verse often when I go for a walk or sit quietly with a cup of tea. (It’s also one of our most peaceful, calming prints.) This is my go-to when my heart feels restless. It helps me breathe again. 8. Exodus 15:26 "I am the Lord, who heals you." What a beautiful truth. God names Himself our healer. It is not just what He does—it’s who He is. When I read this, I remember that I don’t need to search for peace or healing elsewhere. I speak this verse out loud when I need to remember where my true healing comes from—not doctors, not solutions, but the Lord Himself. 9. Romans 8:11 "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you." This verse reminds me that resurrection power is already at work in us. Even when we feel weak, God’s Spirit breathes life, renewal, and strength. There is always hope. Whenever I’ve felt depleted and dry, this verse spoke life back into my bones. 10. Isaiah 58:11 "The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." I’ve returned to this verse so many times in hard seasons. It paints a picture of restoration that is ongoing and overflowing—like a spring that never dries up. It’s one of my favorite verses to gift in print form, especially to dear friends who need encouragement. I once gave this verse to a friend after she had a long, hard year. It was like speaking new life into her spirit—and into mine too. These verses are more than encouragement; they are invitations into deeper trust. God never promises a life without pain, but He promises His presence, His power, and His peace in the middle of it. Healing comes in layers—sometimes physical, often emotional, and always spiritual. If you’re walking through a hard season right now, let these scriptures be like cool water to your soul. Print one out. Tape it to your mirror. Send one to a friend. Or let one of our framed prints serve as a daily reminder in your home. You are not alone. He is restoring you, one promise at a time.

Every spring, as the first little buds start to appear on the trees outside my kitchen window, I feel something shift in my heart. It is like a deep breath after a long quiet winter. The air gets a little softer, the days a little brighter, and my soul begins to stir. Spring always feels like a promise—a reminder that even what looked dry or forgotten can come back to life. In our home, spring is not just about deep cleaning closets or planting herbs on the porch. It is also about refreshing our hearts with God's Word. I find myself drawn to scriptures that speak of new beginnings, of hope pushing up through the soil of discouragement. These verses become the background music of our days, whether they are printed and framed on the wall or simply whispered during a morning coffee. Here are seven Bible verses I love to turn to in the spring. They each carry a different note of God's goodness. His grace that waters, His love that blooms, and His faithfulness that never fades. Song of Songs 2:11–12 “See. The winter is past. The rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth. The season of singing has come. The cooing of doves is heard in our land.” This poetic passage always makes me smile. It is like a celebration in the language of spring. The winter is gone, and suddenly the world comes alive with sound and color. When I read it, I think of early mornings with the windows cracked open, hearing birds return to the yard, and watching daffodils stretch their necks toward the sun. It reminds me that every season, no matter how cold, gives way to joy. Isaiah 61:11 “For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.” My husband and I plant a small garden every spring. Not much, just a few tomatoes, herbs, and maybe some snap peas. It is enough to remind us how amazing growth is. This verse takes that same image and lifts it to something holy. God does in our hearts what the earth does with seeds. He causes praise and goodness to rise up. Even if I cannot see the roots, I trust He is working beneath the surface. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone. The new is here.” There have been times in my life when I really needed to hear this. When I felt like I had messed up or lost my way, this verse reminded me that Jesus does not just improve us. He renews us completely. Spring mirrors that truth. It is not about tidying up old leaves. It is about new growth. A fresh start. In Christ, we are invited to begin again. That is such a comfort to me. Isaiah 35:1–2 “The desert and the parched land will be glad. The wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom. It will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.” This one is for the days that feel dry. Maybe you have had them too. Days where you feel worn thin, a little tired in body and spirit. I love that God speaks directly to those seasons. He says that even deserts can bloom. Even wilderness can rejoice. I have seen it in my own life. God turning tired, weary places into something beautiful. This verse helps me hold on to hope when things still look barren.   Hosea 14:5–6 “I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots. His young shoots will grow.” There is something so gentle about this image. Dew on the ground in the morning is quiet, but it gives life. That is how I have come to know God. Present in the little things, faithful in quiet ways. This verse reminds me that blossoming is not loud. It can happen slowly, humbly, and still be strong. Deep roots matter. Especially as a mother, I want to grow not just up and out, but deep. Lamentations 3:22–23 “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.” Every morning is a new start. I need that grace, especially on the days that begin with laundry piles and loud cereal bowls. This verse reminds me that no matter what yesterday held, today is a clean page. God's compassion does not run out. It is renewed every morning, just like the first rays of sun across the floor. I try to whisper this one before the house wakes up. It sets the tone for my day. Psalm 1:3 “That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever they do prospers.” I love the idea of being planted. In a world that feels like it is always rushing and always shifting, I want to be rooted. This verse tells me that staying close to God's Word is what brings strength and steady growth. Spring is a perfect reminder of that. Roots matter. And fruit comes when we are grounded in truth. I want that for my children too. To see that being planted in the right soil makes all the difference. Favorite From Our Home: Isaiah 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint.” This verse hangs above the desk where I do my quiet time. It was one of the first scripture prints we chose when starting Prayers and Prints. It speaks to the kind of renewal that only comes from the Lord. Not from sleep or vacation or even coffee. True strength is found in hope. Hope that waits. Hope that trusts. And that kind of hope makes us rise. Letting Scripture Bloom in Your Home One of my favorite things about scripture is that it meets us in every season. But there is something extra special about the verses that feel like spring. They remind us that life can come from dry places. That what was hidden will soon grow. That God is always planting something good. If you are looking to bring this sense of renewal into your home, I invite you to fill your walls with the Word. I do not mean just decorating. I mean surrounding yourself with truth. Let your kitchen, your entryway, your bedroom remind you that God is still writing your story, and that His mercies are new every morning. Spring is not just a season outside our windows. It is a season we can choose to live in. By planting scripture deep in our hearts and watching what blooms.
