Release Your Fears to God

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 NIV
What are you afraid of? Whether it’s dread of loneliness, loss, catastrophe or suffering, all of us have something which triggers anxiety and separates us from God. Share your worries with the Lord and ask Him to transform your weakness into strength.
Heavenly Father, release the fear that is wrapped around my heart. Transform my worry into courage. Make me brave.

Lose Spiritual Weight

Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.—Hebrews 12:1 ESV
One way to get more energy is to lay aside the heavy weights that sap your strength — burdens such as fear, hate, anger, impatience and all types of sin. In fact, sin is the heaviest of all weights, and it must be laid aside to continue forward on your spiritual journey.
Dear Jesus, help me let go of the things that bring me down. Energize my spirit with Your Light.

Turn Resolutions to Answered Prayers

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.—Matthew 26:41 NIV
Often when we seek to make a change in our lives, we work on it for a while, then gradually forget. Before and during our efforts to change, pray for the strength to stay on track and persevere in reaching your goals.
Dear Lord, I believe that I can do all things because You give me strength.

Gifts of the Moment

From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.—John 1:16 NLT
Often we forget to appreciate the little things, to notice the everyday blessings that brighten our lives. The beauty of waking up to a winter wonderland or a cardinal appearing like a scarlet exclamation point outside your window. Every good gift is from above, especially little love notes from God.
Dear Lord, help me notice the blessings You have placed in my life.

When Things Fall Apart

Be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”—Hebrews 13:5 NIV
The word “contentment” derives from two Latin words, con and I, meaning “to hold together.” When you have faith in God, your mind will “hold together” so efficiently that you can recover from any disappointment or crisis. If you always remember that God is on your side, you can be content no matter what comes your way.
Heavenly Father, I can live a life of contentment even when things seem to fall apart because I know You are holding all things together.

Change Takes Time

Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.—Ephesians 4:24 NLT

Sometimes spiritual growth happens overnight. Most times, it is a gradual process that takes patience and dedication. Don’t be discouraged if your faith walk hasn’t progressed as far as you hoped. God isn’t in a hurry!

Heavenly Father, if I feel discouraged or troubled by doubt and disbelief help me to remember that faith is patient.

He Speaks in Silence

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.—Matthew 6:6 ESV
It’s been said that God’s first language is silence. Sometimes to hear the voice of God we must turn down the noise of our lives and turn our attention towards listening. Stillness and quiet can be a heavenly practice bringing us closer to God.
Heavenly Father, help me silence my internal chatter and open my heart to the whispers of Your voice.

Live Your Purpose

I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.—Psalm 57:2 ESV
Sometimes the focus on goals for the New Year can make you feel behind and off track, as if life has gotten away from you. Don’t worry! You have a purpose for being here and the best part is that God will help you fulfill it.
Heavenly Father, Author of Purpose, I am ready to serve. Guide me on the path You’ve set for me.

Blueprint for Peace

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.—John 1:1, 14 NIV
“In the beginning…” The Bible opens with this profound truth (Genesis 1:1): God fills the past, the present and the future. Yet this eternal Being took on flesh—and came to live with us human beings. Why? Because of love so deep and strong, it is never ending.
Dear God, help me feel Your peace and be mindful of these special holy days.

You Are God’s Child

And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”—Matthew 3:17 NLT
On stressful days you might feel as if no one understands what you’re going through. God knows! You are His child and He knows you better than anyone else. Rest in His presence and soak up His infinite love.
Almighty Father, thank You for letting me lean on You. Fill my heart with Your healing love and the power of Your strength. Take me in Your loving arms and give me peace.

Wait for the Lord

Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!—Psalm 27:14 ESV
Who knew? Waiting is actually good for you. Waiting for God, praying patiently, accepting His silent answer, all of these things help strengthen your faith. So if you are in a waiting season, don’t despair… see it as spiritual exercise that builds your relationship with God.
Heavenly Father, though it’s not easy, I trust Your perfect timing.
