Bible Verses for the New Month
Here are Bible verses for the new month, grouped by what you want to say: a fresh start, God’s faithfulness, strength, protection, provision and favour at work. Every verse is quoted word for word with its reference and translation (KJV, NIV or NKJV). One to send today: “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23, KJV). Happy new month.
Most Nigerian churches read the King James Version, so KJV leads. Where the NIV or NKJV reads more clearly in a text message, that version is used and tagged.

Questions People Ask About New Month Bible Verses
What is the best Bible verse for a new month?
Lamentations 3:22-23 is the most shared, because it says God’s mercies “are new every morning”. Psalm 118:24 and Isaiah 43:19 are close behind for a fresh-start message.
Which Bible verse talks about a new beginning?
Isaiah 43:19 (“See, I am doing a new thing!”, NIV) and 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV: “old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”) are the two clearest.
Why do the verses on this page use different translations?
KJV is the version most Nigerian churchgoers know by heart, so it leads. NIV or NKJV is used where the modern wording reads more easily in a text. Each verse is tagged, so you can check it in your own Bible before you send.
Is it okay to send only part of a verse?
Yes, for a status or a short text, as long as you keep the reference so the reader can look up the full verse. The short verses above do exactly that.
How to Send a Bible Verse That Feels Personal
Put one line of your own before the verse, then the reference. “Thinking of you this month” plus Psalm 121:8 reads like care; the verse alone can read like a broadcast. For whole prayers built around a verse, see new month prayers. Sending to someone specific?

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Bible translation are these verses from?
Most are quoted from the King James Version, with the NIV or NKJV where the wording is clearer; each verse is tagged. If you prefer a different translation, look up the reference before sending.
What's a good Bible verse for the first day of a new month?
Lamentations 3:22โ23 ("They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness") and Isaiah 43:19 ("Behold, I will do a new thing") are popular choices for a fresh start.
Can I send a Bible verse to someone who isn't Christian?
Be cautious. A non-Christian recipient may receive it as evangelism rather than encouragement. Lean on the Prayers page for cross-faith options instead.
Should I include the verse reference when I send?
Yes โ including "Psalm 90:14" or similar lets the recipient look it up in their own translation, and it lifts the message from a quote into a citation.
What's the difference between a Bible verse and a new month prayer?
A verse quotes scripture; a prayer addresses the divine in your own words. You can send one, the other, or both โ verses lean teachable, prayers lean personal.
Can I send these via WhatsApp or SMS?
Yes. Each verse is short enough to read in one breath, which is what WhatsApp and SMS reward.
Are these verses appropriate for any month?
Yes โ none reference a specific month. Send them at the start of any month or whenever the recipient could use the encouragement.
