Complain to the Lord

I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before Him my complaint; before Him I tell my trouble.—Psalm 142:1-2 (NIV)
God wants you to be honest with Him. He wants you to speak your mind and heart. If you are angry or upset about a situation express your feelings. Share your grief and your concerns. Get them out of your mind and into prayer. Trust the outcome to Him.
Dear God, I am so thankful that I have You to confide in.

Big Faith, Big Life

Everything is possible for one who believes.—Mark 9:23 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said that how you live your life is directly proportional to how greatly you believe. Believe little and you will have a little life. If your belief is weak, you will get a weak life. If your faith is fear-based, you will live a life of fear. But when you believe big, you get a big life!
Heavenly Father, God of possibilities, I believe Your plans surpass my biggest dreams.

Don’t Plead… Please!

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.—Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

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.
