Women hold a precious place in God’s creation — designed with grace, strength, compassion, and wisdom. From Sarah’s faith to Ruth’s loyalty, from Esther’s courage to Mary’s obedience, the Bible is filled with stories of women who changed the world through their faith in God.

Whether you’re a mother, daughter, wife, or sister, these 40 Bible verses will remind you of your worth, your divine purpose, and the power you carry as a woman who worships the living God.
