The most popular Bible verse this year on the YouVersion app was a passage about trusting God instead of worrying.
Philippians 4:6 was the most popular Bible verse of 2019 on YouVersion, the free Bible app that launched in 2008 and grew by 50 million unique installs this year.
The verse reads, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
“We’re encouraged to see so many people turning to the Bible in response to their worries, remembering what God has done in their lives, and choosing to trust in His faithfulness,” YouVersion founder, Bobby Gruenewald, said, according to Fox News.
The most popular Bible verse in 2018 was Isaiah 41:10: “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
In 2017, it was Joshua 1:9. In 2016, it was Romans 8:28.
“What we are seeing in global engagement is exciting to us because with every verse highlighted, Plan day completed, or audio chapter listened to, that’s a person who is being transformed by knowing God more intimately through spending time in the Bible,” Gruenewald said. “We’re humbled by the opportunity to see lives changed in every country around the world.”
