How to print them

1. Use cardstock if you have it (65–110 lb). Plain paper works too.
2. Print at 100% / “Actual size” on US Letter. A4 works if you choose “Fit to page”.
3. Cut on the dashed lines. A paper trimmer makes it quick; scissors are fine.
4. Optional: laminate the ones you’ll carry, or punch a hole and put them on a ring.

8 ways to use your verse cards

• On the bathroom mirror. Read one out loud while you get ready.
• In your wallet or phone case. For the moment anxiety hits in public.
• In the car. Clip one to the visor for the drive to a hard appointment.
