God’s Constant Comfort

And He who sent me is with me; He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.—John 8:29 (ESV)
Everyone faces moments when they feel alone in the world. The truth is there is never a reason to feel this way because God loves you. He hears your cries and feels your pain. He is present. Pray.
Lord, I ask for Your hope and comfort to continue to heal me. Fill me with Your peace.

The Power of Patience

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.—Romans 12:12 (NIV)
Patience is a fruit of the Spirit and yet periods of waiting often chip away at your trust and faith. In stressful times, when nothing seems to be going your way, it’s important to be mindful that God is in control. He will give you the desires of your heart in His time.
Lord, help me fight fear and impatience with trust.

A Life of Service

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.—Galatians 5:13 (NLT)
As your relationship with God grows so does your desire to serve Him. There are countless ways that you can serve God every day. Offer help where it is needed, practice forgiveness, add loved ones and those in need to your prayer list. Devote yourself to become an instrument of His work.
Lord, I love You. I praise You for allowing me to be Your servant. Lead me where I am needed. I am here to help.

Pray for Your Worries

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.—Psalm 56:3 (NIV)
Are you worried about something? It’s easy to let anxious thoughts take over your mind and shift your focus off of God. Instead of allowing this to happen, pray, “Lord, I put all my trust, all my hope and all my faith in You alone.” Release the outcome of the situation to His care.
Heavenly Father, help me not to worry when things don’t go my way. Guide me instead to put my focus on You.

Be Full of God

He must increase, but I must decrease.—John 3:30 (ESV)

When you put your focus on God rather than on yourself, you grow from His strength and grace. Meditate on this verse and ask Jesus to increase in your life. Surrender to His power and grace; you will become a shining light of His love.

Lord Jesus, my heart desires more of You and less of me.

Believe in Miracles

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.”—Matthew 21:21 (NIV)

Although the popular saying is you have to see it to believe it—when it comes to miracles there are many times you must believe to see. Miracles happen when you have faith and trust that anything is possible. Open your heart to receive the incredible love of God. His limitless power is available to you.

Heavenly Father, I know in my heart that life’s coincidences are really Your miracles. I believe! I believe!

Shelter from Life’s Storms

He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.—Job 36:27-28 9 (NIV)

When life storms having you feeling like you are in a cyclone, instead of trying to understand or fix the situation, think about this verse. The Lord Almighty can help change your perspective or walk with you through challenging situations just as surely as He showers the earth from heaven.

Dear Lord, when the details and secrets of life seem overwhelming, remind me to hold onto You and take comfort knowing that Your ways are higher than my ways.

Call Out His Name

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (KJV)
You are blessed to have a Father in Heaven that you can always turn to, especially when you’re in need of a miracle or blessing. Bring your cares to Him. All of your concerns are significant. Nothing is too big or too small for Him. Call out His name.
Lord, God, I am so thankful for Your presence in my life.

Improve Your Mood

For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.—Jeremiah 31:25 (ESV)
Each day, be sure to spend just a few minutes feeding your spirit. Take a walk, read poetry, learn a new craft, try something new. Get absolutely enthralled in something and feel your energy rise. The best way to improve your mood is to do what inspires you.
Heavenly Father, when my soul feels weary, remind me to spend time doing what I love.

Crisis of Faith

The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made.—Psalm 145:9 (NIV)
Has something so tragic happened in your life—the death of a loved one or loss of a job—that you can no longer pray for God’s will because you’ve lost faith that perhaps what He wants is not what you want? If this happens, don’t turn away from Him, turn towards Him. Know that He is transforming you. Yes, life can be difficult and break your heart—but it is brilliant and beautiful, too. Trust Him.
Dear Lord, I love You. I want what You want.

Be the Light

Turn from evil and do good.—Psalm 34:14 (NIV)

When something bad happens, do you complain, dwell on the past and spread negativity? This Scripture tells us to do the opposite; not just to turn away from evil, but to do good. When you encounter anger, jealousy or hatred strive to make things better. Bring love and understanding to the problem.

Lord, restore me with Your peace. When I’m on the edge of losing my temper, give me the patience and foresight to return good for evil.
