Encourage your kids with these FREE Printable Bible Verse Lunch Box Notes and help them face each school day with faith!
Last week on Encouraging Word Wednesday, I wrote about How to Set Your Mind on Things Above, and today, I’d like to give you a little something to help your kids do just that at school every day!
After all, our kids face so many decisions, distractions and difficulties from day to day, don’t they?
- Who should I sit by at lunch?
- Did I study enough for the test?
- Will I get to play in the game tonight?
- Why did he do that?
- Why did she say that?
- How should I handle this?
- They need wisdom from God’s word and encouragement, too!
To help my kids (and yours!) , I created these printable lunch box notes that are an easy but powerful way to encourage your kids each day. The file contains 20 colorful notes that feature truth from God’s word.
Bible Verses to Help Your Kids Face Each Day with Faith
The following verses are included in the Printable Bible Verse Lunch Box Notes. I chose each one with kids’ needs and worries in mind, hoping to provide a note for whatever they may be facing each day.
- Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through him who gives me strength.”
- Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.”
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

These verses can help remind your kids that no matter what is going on around them, God is there, and he will enable them to overcome the struggles they face. The notes also remind your kids that you are thinking about and praying for them!
It’s simple to use these notes. Just print them, cut them out, and include one in your child’s lunch box each day for 4 whole weeks. If you’re on my mailing list, I sent you a link to the file last week. If not, just sign up below, and your link will be on its way!
I’d love to hear from you about how you encourage your kids throughout the school day. Leave a comment and share a tip! Oh, and be sure to participate in this week’s Encouraging Word Wednesday linkup!

Donna Reidland says
This is such a great idea! I’m going to print some for grandchildren!
Angela Howard says
I love this idea! My kids are 18 and 16 and tomorrow we take my son off to college. SIGH!! Pray for me. I would encourage all the younger mothers to teach your children scripture and share it in a practical way so that it becomes a part of their lives. I’m still printing these to put in his dorm room 🙂 If anyone you know is looking for mental health education from a Christian perspective, head over to my blog at http://www.noordinarydays.com I’d love to connect with you. Thanks for sharing the link up!
