Bible declarations for women
These are truths from Scripture for women to say out loud, several of them drawn from the women God met in the Bible.
Women hear a lot of voices telling them what they should be: thinner, calmer, better at everything. God's voice is different. These declarations come from what He says to everyone who trusts Him, and from the women He met in Scripture: Hagar in the desert, Mary at the start of it all, Martha in the kitchen, a woman at Jesus' feet.

Questions people ask
Is Proverbs 31 for every woman?
Proverbs 31:10-31 is a poem about a wise, capable wife. It's a picture of wisdom and of fearing God, not a checklist every woman has to meet. Verse 30 is the heart of it: “a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”
Is “God is within her; she will not be moved” about women?
In Psalm 46:5, her is the city of God, Jerusalem, where God lived among His people. It isn't a promise to one woman. The truth behind it is still yours if you belong to Jesus: God lives in His people by His Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).
What does “she can laugh at the days to come” mean?
In Proverbs 31:25 the woman isn't afraid of the future, because she has prepared well and she fears the Lord. It describes the calm that comes from wisdom and trust, not a promise that nothing bad will happen.
