The Source of Love

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”—Luke 22:42 NIV

Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. This blessed season is an opportunity to align your heart and will to God’s direction. Make the most of this holy season by cultivating a deep relationship with the Source of love.

Today, on the first day of Lent, help me let go of bad habits, strengthen new ones and most importantly draw closer to You.

Pray for Patience

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.—Romans 8:25 ESV

Sometimes God feels far away and His promises seem as if they’ll never be fulfilled. Though it’s not easy, be patient! Replace your doubt with faith and ask God to help You keep calm as you wait.

Heavenly Father, give me enduring patience to match Your perfect timing.

Good Changes Ahead

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is— his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 NIV

Listen to the voice deep in your heart and be guided by God’s wisdom. Steer away from things that give you that nagging negative feeling in the pit of your stomach. Make good choices and form healthy habits that keep you on His path.

Heavenly Father, You are my guide. Help me live a life that frees me from discomfort. Help me make choices that please You.

Look and Listen

Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live…—Isaiah 55:3 ESV

Most people live on the surface. They hurry from here to there and miss the most astonishing things. Slow down. Look around you. Listen for what God is saying through the people you meet and the things you see.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the unique ways You
speak to me. Today, help me to recognize the many ways
You communicate with me.

Loving Your Enemies

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:44 NIV

If you struggle with this verse, you are not alone. God asks you to forgive as He forgives, to love as He loves. Every conflict is a chance to become a peaceful, forgiving person. Every dispute is an opportunity to make things better, to feel God’s love flow through you.

Heavenly Father, help me to reflect Your patience and kindness in my relationships. Help me bring the light of Your love into the lives of those around me.

A Hug from God

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all fullness of God.—Ephesians 3:17-19 NIV
God loves you unconditionally, no strings attached. He loves you for who you are, right this very moment. He loves you on good days and bad days. He may not love all the things you do, but He always loves you—no matter what!

The Source of Courage

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.—Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV

Courage comes from a deep trust that God is able to see you through all of life’s trials. When life gets you down, take heart. God has not forsaken you. He never will. He can help you overcome any challenge.

When I am afraid, Lord, I put my trust in You.

Go Forward with Love

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”—Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV
Ask God to help you leave behind barriers that block you from having a closer relationship with Him and look to the future. Let go of what is impeding you from living your best full life and go forward on the path He clears for you.
Heavenly Father, release me of thoughts and things that get in the way our relationship.
