In life there are many reasons why we may need some inspirational words of encouragement.The truth is that as much as there are wonderful occurances in life there are also some dissapointing moments that we can not just overlook. If you don’t know what to say on what occasion especially in terms of biblical encouragement then take a few minutes to go through this brief but useful post.

The Loss of a loved one

A person who has just lost a loved one needs to be encouraged and supported. They need to be around positive people and to hear positive words. Do not over do it. It is important to say the right things all the time or else you will exacerbate the situation.

Let me emphasize and say that when you are trying to encourage someone who is grieving, you need to be skilful and very sensitive.

First time at work

Starting a new job may be exciting yes but it does have its fair share of aggravation and intimidation. If you know someone who has just started in a new job then you better think of ways to make that person settle in. If the friend enjoys a good laugh, just write him or her some something warm if he or she is worried about living kids at home then think about writing some nice encouragement poems for kids about the first day at work.

A person who has just moved into a new country

Being in a foreign country can be so stressful especially if you can not understand the local language. If comes with the feeling of anxiety and being home sick. In fact a friend of mine fell into a major depression 2 weeks after moving into a new country. This person spent two months seriously ill due to depression.

There are many more people who need to be encouraged from time to time. These include those who are sick and those in prisons. So while you are going about enjoying your life, do take sometime to say something good to a person who needs it.
