Promises, Promises: 50 Promises You Can Claim
Studies show that most people, even when there are no real consequences for breaking a promise, will still follow through. That’s good news, I guess. One study found that 61% to 74% of people actually keep their promises. When we don’t, it’s usually because of lack of time, forgetfulness, or financial strain. Interestingly, women tend to do a little better than men when it comes to keeping their word. About 60% of American adults said they keep promises to satisfy a loved one or to show they care, and the majority of those were women.
We live in a world where promises are easily made and easily broken. Words come cheap; commitment costs something. And yet, we were created in the image of a God who always keeps His word.
There are roughly 8,810 promises in the Bible, and every one of them reveals God’s faithfulness. We sing “Standing on the Promises” at church, but most of us are simply sitting on the powerful gifts God has already given us.
About 85% of those promises are made directly to those who love Him. They’re not just ancient words on a page; they’re living assurances that speak into our lives right now, no matter the season we’re in.
So today, let’s flip the script. Instead of depending on people who may fail us, let’s anchor ourselves in the promises that never change. Below are 50 of God’s promises— truths you can claim, speak, and stand on when life feels uncertain, when you need strength, or when you just need to be reminded that He hasn’t forgotten you.
