YouVersion announced the Bible mobile application’s most shared Bible verse for the year 2022.
YouVersion
The Bible app revealed that Isaiah 41:10 was the platform’s most shared Bible verse for this year. The verse highlights God’s protection, provision, and comfort. It is a verse that speaks to almost everyone’s needs as they faced this tough year.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” -Isaiah 41:10
The same verse has also previously hit the top spot in the Bible app for the year 2020. A difficult year for everyone as the pandemic broke out, instilling fear and uncertainties about what is ahead. Bobby Gruenewald, founder, and CEO of YouVersion expressed his thoughts as to why he thinks that specific Bible verse became popular.
“The popularity of this verse speaks to our desire to be reminded that even when we feel like we’re alone in our struggles, we’re not,” he said in an interview with CBN News. “As this verse says, God is our strength, and He’s always with us.”
Isaiah 41:10
Isaiah 41:10 has been highlighted and bookmarked more than 2 billion times on the mobile Bible application. It was also found to be most popular in several countries including Argentina, France, Germany, and the United States.
YouVersion also saw an increase in Bible engagement activities worldwide. The Ukrainian-language Bible also saw a major increase in engagement in many countries. At the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, searches for keywords like “war,” “fear,” and “anxiety” became popular. But the most searched word during that time in the Ukrainian language was “love.”
“These families are going through something most of us can’t imagine. In the middle of what’s likely the most difficult time of their lives, they’re turning to the Bible for comfort, peace, and hope,” Bobby said. “It’s an honor that we get to be a part of making God’s Word available to His people in their greatest moments of need.”
