5 Encouraging Texts Pastors Should Send Today

Leadership

Have you ever stopped to think about how much power is in a simple text message? In a world that’s so connected, a few heartfelt words can brighten someone’s day, remind them of their worth, or even renew their strength.

Today, I want to challenge you to take just a few moments to send an encouraging message to someone in your circle—a team member, a fellow pastor, or someone who might need a little extra hope. I’ve put together five short, meaningful texts you can send right now. Feel free to use them as they are or make them your own.

Let’s be intentional about lifting others up. You never know how much your words might mean to someone today.

Here are 5 Encouraging Texts to Send Today

  • To a Team Member:
    “Thank you for your dedication and hard work. Your role in [specific ministry] is making a real difference. I’m praying for you today—keep shining for His glory!”

  • To a Congregation Member:
    “Hi [Name], just wanted you to know that you’re on my heart today. I’m grateful for you and praying God’s blessings over you and your family. Let me know if you need anything!”

  • To a Fellow Pastor:
    “Brother/Sister [Name], I appreciate the work you’re doing for the Kingdom. Your faithfulness inspires me! Praying for strength, wisdom, and favor for you today.”

  • To a Volunteer:
    “Hey [Name], I noticed all the effort you’ve been putting into [specific task]. Thank you for serving with such joy and excellence. You’re a blessing to this church!”

  • To a Friend in Ministry:
    “I just want to remind you that your labor is not in vain. God sees every seed you’ve planted, and He’s working in ways you might not see yet. Stay encouraged!”

Encouragement costs us nothing but can mean everything to someone else. Whether you send one text or all five, the effort you make today could just make the difference in someone’s life.

Keep building others up and being the light God called you to be. I’m cheering you on!

P.S. If you send one of these texts, I’d love to hear how it blessed the person on the other end—feel free to share in the comments below!
