Adding Art to a Short Bible Verse for Comfort and Strength – Free Printable

God Sees Me Genesis 16:13

Using a short Bible verse for comfort and strength is a great way to uplift your own day or that of someone you care about.

My specialty is adding artwork to things we can use everyday, so that’s what I’ve done with this paraphrased Bible verse with artwork.

The paraphrase gives you the concept of the actual verse, which is listed on the printable artwork.

This shortens the verse even more – sometimes that can help with remembering a particular verse. You can always look up the actual verse to savor all parts of it.

In times of trouble, we all need God’s strength to see us through.

One of the best ways to do this is to use a short Bible verse telling us of God’s love for us.

In the darkest valley, our heavenly Father sees us. Hears us. Knows us.

What could be better than that?

Use this beautiful downloadable printable however you like for personal use. (No commercial usage, please.)

(Would you like some useful suggestions for creating your own artwork for putting on Bible verses or any other meaningful text? Try these watercolor painting techniques created just for beginners.)

Helpful Tip: keep in mind when printing out the verses to color the artwork, most printer ink is not waterproof. If you want to use paints or watercolors or (some) markers on your Bible verses, it’s suggested to transfer the print out to the art paper of your choice.

Print out on sturdy cardstock and tack up on your wall for encouraging help in hard times throughout your day.

You can see how I’ve added paint to this “God sees me” verse from Genesis 16:13 and the story of Hagar.

collage of adding art to a Bible verse

It was a pretty straightforward process with watercolors and ink. You can finish yours however you like.

Markers, colored pencils, (watercolor pencils would be fun and give you lots of flexibility), watercolors or acrylics would all work beautifully.

Tip: if you are going to add art to this download, be sure and print on at least white cardstock so the paper can handle the color you apply.

Print on a page of watercolor paper for even more satisfying results. (Consult your printer for using different types of papers.)

Or resize this short Bible verse for comfort and strength, print on cardstock again, and write an encouraging message on the back. Then give to a friend or family member who can really use the support.

(Besides using meaningful text like scriptures for strength and comfort, you can also up your game by creating a gratitude journal. Here's a post with gratitude journal prompts for children, but these work just as well for adults. Enjoy!)

“In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” from Philippians 4:6-7


Peace of God line art printable of a short Bible verse for comfort and strength

Peace of God is another idea that can be found in many places in the Bible. I have chosen Philippians 4:6-7 and you can find other verses about the peace of God through this link to WorldVision.org.uk.

Have you ever thought about what it might mean to be anxious for nothing? To give thanks in everything (not necessarily for everything)? To bring all of your requests and concerns to God? In the moment? And trust Him that He will be there for you?

That’s pretty heady stuff, for sure. But God has given us strong Bible verses for strong life circumstances. He knows what we need. Now we can practice anchoring these beautiful words deep inside of us.

Art can help that process and I highly recommend it. After all, colorizing these Bible verses while you meditate on them, considering how you feel and what your heart’s concerns are is an excellent therapeutic art strategy and a wonderful way to process the stress that we all must deal with each day.

It’s a little like giving yourself a gift.

God’s Word is also a phrase found in many verses in scripture. I chose Hebrews 4:12 and you can find other verses speaking to this idea at Bibleinsideout.com.

This is a great download to use with colored pencils or watercolor pencils. Just like coloring in a coloring book. You choose the colors, whether vibrant (as I chose) or you could go with pastels or neutrals. Earthy tones would be gorgeous and result in a totally different look. You know, actually, you can print out this scripture and color it as many times as you want – differently each time. If you’re memorizing it, that’s a fun way to do it.

I’m hoping you will consider using art with your short Bible verse for comfort, strength, or encouragement. By using your hands while pondering these verses, you will get more of a whole body experience and that helps the words, concepts and visuals gain depth within you.

Give it a try.

Watercolor does the most amazing things! The wet-on-wet technique you see above is the result of wetting the watercolor paper and then adding wet paint. Yes, you have to be careful about how you add the paint, but not too careful! Watercolor blends beautifully, which, for me, makes it the perfect medium to add to a beautiful Bible verse on strength.

“My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:26

I chose to use pencil for the hearts in this short Bible verse for comfort and strength so that they are softer and won’t stand out so much when you add your own artwork. I did the same thing in my own artwork, featured in the graphic below, and you can see the gentle pencil marks but they are not very noticeable. Just enough to add a bit of dimension without too much contrast and let you know where to add your artwork.
