Letter From the Editor: Speak Life Challenge Day 2: Encouragement
Hello Believers and Truth Seekers,
Welcome to Day Two of the Speak Life Challenge. Today’s focus is simple but powerful: encouragement.
I want to share a personal story that taught me how life-changing encouraging words can be.
There was a season when my adult daughter and I had friction about almost everything. No matter the topic, it felt tense. I did not understand why. I am strong-willed, direct, and I like to get to the point.
If I felt an argument going nowhere, I made sure I had the last word—even saying out loud, “I’m having the last word here, and that’s that.”

At the time, I thought I was being firm. In truth, I was not listening. I just wanted it done. Eventhough she did not do what she agreed to do, she felt as if I was treating her as a child.
Later, I learned many parents experience this with adult children. Psychologically, it is often tied to avoiding accountability or resisting change. But knowing that did not fix the relationship.
So I prayed. I talked to God honestly, like I always do—telling Him what was bothering me. The next morning, during my devotion time—praise, Bible reading, and prayer—I came across a verse I had not noticed before and have not seen since. The message was clear and gentle: say one kind thing a day to improve communication.
I opened my Bible, and there it was.
I decided to obey. Each day, I spoke one encouraging word—nothing fancy and nothing else, just sincere kindness. Within three days, our communication changed. The tension eased. We talked. We listened. Peace returned. I still say someothing nice everyday.
From a psychological view, encouragement lowers defenses. From a biblical view, it opens the heart. When people feel seen through love and support, even if they are wrong, they listen. I had tried similar things before, and it did not work. This time, the Holy Spirit stepped in.
That is why today’s theme matters.
Speak encouragement into someone else’s life, and watch how it improves your own life and relationships.
Today, choose one person. Say one kind thing. Let God do the rest.
With hope and grace,
From the Editor, Angela Clark, M.Ed
❤️🙏❤️Wednesday: Today’s Assignment. Speak Encouragement not curses or grumbling.
Speak scripture encouragement over one person. Remind them that today matters. Speak hope, not fear. Life, not defeat. We speak scripture so God can intervene as his word does not return to him void.
Encouragement lifts the spirit. Psychology confirms that positive words increase motivation and emotional strength. God designed us to build each other up.

✔️You are fearfully and wonderfully made: It is written Psalms 139:14
It is written: Scripture: Psalms 139:14 KJV “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
✔️You are meant to be here. Not by power, nor by might but by the spirit of God you are made and the breath of the almighty has given you breath. You are important.
It is written: Job 33:4 – The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
✔️You are not alone, God is with you. He will never leave you. It is written: John 14:18 KJV “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
Encouraging words plant seeds. You may never see the harvest, but God does.

A CALL TO SALVATION:
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Romans 10:9-109That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
John 3:5-65Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7
Yo, checked out jl18applogin the other day. Gotta say, the app login process was smooth as butter. No glitches, no fuss. Pretty decent experience overall. Check it out yourself! jl18applogin
The jl18app? Yeah, got it on my tablet. Streams work well in my experience so far, but they can be a little laggy sometimes based on location. Pretty slick though! jl18app
