Are you an Instagram junkie? Are you looking to follow Christian Instagram accounts to encourage your walk with God?

I love to browse Instagram not just to see what my friends and family are up to, but to get inspiration and ideas. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite Christian Instagram accounts. Some will make you laugh, others cry, but most will inspire you and remind you that God is good all the time!

I love social media as a ministry as God can use so many methods to bring someone to Christ. You never know who He will impact and draw to Him simply by a post on social media.

Recently, I shared a post about 10 Christian Women YouTube accounts to follow. Did you miss it? If so, you can find it HERE.

So, on to Christian Instagram accounts…

I’ve broken them down into two sections:  Inspirational accounts and Women ‘s Christian Instagram accounts. I pray that you find a gem or two that you will enjoy.

I was a shell of a human being. By the time I was 20 years old, my drinking progressed to the point where I was emotionally and spiritually isolated from everyone around me. I abandoned my childhood faith and thought if God was real, He wouldn’t want anything to do with a person like me. But I was given a beautiful solution to my addiction when I joined a 12-step fellowship and was able to reconnect with God. Recovery has allowed me to regain my family’s trust, maintain genuine friendships, graduate from college, have a healthy relationship with my boyfriend, keep a job, and feel a sense of purpose through helping sick and suffering alcoholics and addicts. Recovery has transformed my idea of God and the personal relationship I have with him today. The most transformative, faith-renewing part of this journey has been talking about God with other alcoholics and addicts. No matter what kind of struggles you have overcome, your story can help others. I used to feel so much shame over the things I did, but I know God is using my past to help others in the same situation. The only reason why I’m able to do this is because someone else showed me the way by sharing their experience. I’m so thankful to now be that person for others. My walk with God hasn’t been perfect. There have been times where I questioned him, even in sobriety, but I find He always brings me back to the truth. God never turned His back on me when I was stuck in addiction; I turned my back on God. He’s always been there and will continue to be there. Not just for me, but for anyone who reaches out to seek His love.

Are you spending as much time thanking God for things as you are asking Him for things? We are very good at asking God for what we want and need but are we taking the time to appreciate the things He's already given to us? Just look around, what has He already done in your life? Who has He already blessed you with? Thank Him for those things and people. Sometimes we get too busy asking for this and that and we neglect the good around us. The next time you pray for something try thanking Him first for the current blessings in your life. -Mark #GoodNewsFeed ➡️ @goodnewsfeed for daily encouragement! ⬅️

In a thousand ways I have shunned Your love. I repent of each and every one of my sins. Please forgive me. Thank You for sending Your Son to die for me, to save me from eternal death. I choose this day to enter into (renew my) covenant with You and to place Jesus at the center of my heart. I surrender to Him as Lord over my whole life.

On my mind today — how our good comes about: . ▫️If I had never felt empty in my try-harder life, I wouldn’t have known my desperate need for Christ. . ▫️If I didn’t struggle to shepherd as a mom, I wouldn’t have discovered what a Good Shepherd Jesus is. . ▫️If I hadn’t experienced the bitterness of loss, I’d miss the opportunity to learn gratitude regardless. . ▫️If I had never struggled with anxious thoughts, I would’ve never learned to preach truth to myself. . ▫️If I never needed to test the truth of the gospel in my everyday life, I may never have started a blog, painted these truths, or written a few books in response. . ?? Here’s the rose among the thorns: The pruning and pain we work to avoid always precedes the good we long for.? . ??‍♀️ We’re over there chasing a struggle-free life, but God’s glory is chasing us with His good for us. ?? . ❤️ SO TELL ME + PREACH IT TO YOURSELF: What thorn is God using to chase you down for His glory and your good? . {This #gracelacedart is available in #gracelacedshoppe as print, canvas, notecard, and journal.

“No for real, I’m not kidding. I want you to come away with Me.” That’s the very spiritual message I sense the Holy Spirit sending me these days. 2018 is proving one thing to me: without RADICAL INTENTION, I will follow the patterns of this world and live distracted, burned out, doubtful, and faithless. If I don’t say NO, if I don’t go against the grain, my mind will stay busy and my soul will stay heavy. The world is hurtling forward, and unless I withdraw and get close to Jesus – protecting my heart, which is the wellspring of life, I will go the way of the world. Forward. Without much thought. Forward. But not in the right direction. . Where I drift without radical intention is a land filled with self doubt and comparison. I am never enough and God it seems, is always holding out on me. I drift into a gear where I’m thoughtless, careless, and constantly unaware of what’s happening around me. I am trying so hard to take in what the world is saying that I am overwhelmed, asleep, and incapable of action. . And I think most of us would agree and we’d agree that we’re down to change. But how? Where do we start? How do we come away with Him? How do we turn this bike in the other direction and stay balanced at the same time? I thought maybe we could use the comments as an encouraging place today? We could share small practices of patience and pulling away that have led to victory for us. We could help our sisters out. . We’re in charge of our brains and we get to say, not today. Today I will not have a divided mind. Today, even just for this hour, I will keep my mind on things above. I will use my kingdom eyes and ears to listen to my God and go away with Him. And it will be worth it. . Share your ideas below? I’ll share mine!

Don’t let anyone replace God’s voice or His authority over you. . He comes to set captives free, to bind up wounds, and to heal the broken-hearted. He doesn’t operate in shame but in love and sacrifice and gentleness, ever wooing us closer to His Father heart. . Where do you need help? Where do you need an advocate? Where do you need mercy and grace? He is with you and for you and you can push out the voices that try to condemn you or judge you and go right to God, who sits on a throne of grace, and say, “God, help. What do you say? You see me, every tangled up part of me, and I need you and I would like a way through.” . He hears your cry. Thank you, God, that you hear us! Thank you that you love us right in the middle of our junk. . Surrender your fears. Surrender the voices that aren’t of God. Surrender your heart and your mind and your soul and cry out to Him because He cares for you. . Full devotion over at @incourage today. (Link in profile)
