Bible Verse Cards Printable, 30 Fear Not Scriptures in KJV for a Prayer Board

Thirty complete King James verses for fearful and restless days sit on these small printable cards, six under each of five headings: Fear not, Be strong, Peace, Trust and Rest. Each card is 2.5 by 3.5 inches, the size of a playing card, with the heading in large serif type, the verse below it and the reference in small capitals. Ten cards each come in sage, cream and muted blue paper tones, which print as part of the design.

Thirty verses for fear, courage, peace, trust and rest

The five headings move from fear toward rest. Fear not gathers God's direct words against fear, such as Isaiah 41:10, Fear thou not; for I am with thee, and Luke 12:32, Fear not, little flock. Be strong turns to courage with Joshua 1:9 and 2 Timothy 1:7 on the spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Peace holds John 14:27 and Philippians 4:7, the peace which passeth all understanding. Trust brings Proverbs 3:5 and Psalm 56:4, and Rest closes with Matthew 11:28, come unto me, and 1 Peter 5:7, casting all your care upon him. Every card carries one complete verse, so it can be read on its own without looking anything up.

Sage, cream and muted blue

The cards keep the typography quiet. A large heading in a classic serif sits at the top, set apart from the complete verse underneath, and the reference closes each card in true small capitals. The backgrounds are softly textured paper tones in sage green, cream and a muted blue, with ten cards in each color and every verse assigned to one tone, so a full prayer board shows an even mix. The colors are part of the printed design, which means you print on plain white cardstock and the tints appear on their own. The backs stay unprinted, and no reverse-side file is included, which leaves room for your own notes.

Printing small cards accurately

Choose the sheet PDF for your paper and print at 100 percent or actual size on white matte cardstock, with fit, shrink and crop-to-fill turned off. On US Letter, nine cards fill an area of 7.5 x 10.5 inches, with the card edges 0.25 inch from the top and bottom of the page and cut marks reaching to about 0.19 inch from the edge. Your printer needs to handle that printable area. If it cannot, use a print shop or the PDF of single cards. Neighboring cards share their cut edges without gaps, so trim along the outside marks with a ruler and a paper cutter, and keep one reference sheet until the last cut. Print a test sheet and measure one card first.

A prayer board, a Bible journal, a letter to a friend

Pinned in rows on a cork prayer board, the thirty cards cover a month with one verse a day. They are small enough to slip into a Bible or a journal, and to prop against a mirror where they will be seen in the morning. A small Bible study group can share out the deck and read them aloud. For a friend going through a worried season, one card tucked into a letter, with your own prayer written on the blank back, is a gentle way to say you are thinking of them. The files are for personal use and personal gifts. No physical cards, boards, clips or frames are shipped.

Frequently asked questions

Will my printer handle the US Letter sheets?

Most likely, but check the margins. Nine cards fill 7.5 x 10.5 inches, so the card edges sit 0.25 inch from the top and bottom of the page. A printer that cannot print that close to the edge will clip the cut marks. In that case use a print shop or print the single-card PDF instead.

Why are there no gaps between the cards?

Neighboring cards share their cut edges, so a single cut separates two cards and you make fewer cuts overall. Trim along the outside marks with a ruler and a paper cutter, and keep one untrimmed reference sheet until the last cut so you can still see where the marks were.

Do I need colored cardstock for the sage and blue cards?

No. The sage, cream and muted blue tones are printed as part of each card, so plain white matte cardstock is right for all thirty. Colored paper would tint the cards a second time. Screens and printers render soft colors differently, which is why a test sheet before the full print helps.

What goes on the back of each card?

Nothing is printed there, and no back-side file is included. That leaves room to write a prayer, the date a verse helped you, or a short note to the person you give the card to. Use a pen that does not bleed through cardstock, such as a fine ballpoint or gel pen.

Where do the cards fit besides a prayer board?

At 2.5 x 3.5 inches they are the size of a playing card, so trading card sleeves protect the ones that get carried every day and a small card box keeps the full set together. Single cards fit into a letter or a gift, and a study group can share out the deck so each person takes a verse home.
