Best Way to Start Your Day

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.—Psalm 30:5 (NIV)

It’s been said that the difference between a good day and a bad one depends completely on your attitude. The best way to start each day is to begin with a simple prayer. An attitude of gratitude is a decision you can make each morning.

A Time for Prayer

Pray all the time.—1 Thessalonians 5:17 (MSG)

Think of every moment as an opportunity to pray. Pray the first thing in the morning. Pray on your commute to work. Don’t worry about what to say or if you should be sharing things that may seem small or trivial. Invite Jesus to help guide the details of your life. Pray, pray and keep on praying.

Heavenly Father, I want to make every moment a prayer to You.

Have a Better Attitude

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.—Psalm 90:20 (NIV)

A Psalm 91 Life

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling.—Psalm 91:9 (NIV)

God is your refuge. He will deliver you from a long series of difficulties, fears and troubles. Though you may have difficulties, you will be able to handle all of them, for God will give His angels charge over you. His goodness and love will always surround you and will protect and guide you on the path of life.

Heavenly Father, I will write this psalm on my heart so that no matter how hard my life may be, I will always be on top of things.

His Comforting Promises

No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.—Joshua 1:5 (NIV)

When you have a responsibility that looms large, and are feeling frightened and overwhelmed, don’t be discouraged! The Lord makes a very explicit promise in the above verse. He will never leave or forsake you. God is with you.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the many promises in Your Word that comfort me in times of need.

God Cares

“She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, ‘You’re the God who sees me! Yes! He saw me; and then I saw him!’ That’s how that desert spring got named ‘God-Alive-Sees-Me Spring.’ That spring is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. Hagar gave Abram a son. Abram named him Ishmael.”—Genesis 16:13–16 (MSG)

There are seasons in life when it may seem that no one understands or cares. God will show up in your time of need just as He did for Hagar. When you feel unseen, He reminds you that you are in His sights. During these times Jesus gives us what we need most: Himself.

Heavenly Father, I know You see me!

The Lighter Side

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.—Job 8:21 (NIV)

Laughter and joy are great sources of strength. When you choose to see the humor in a situation by looking to the lighter side during dark times, you discover that you can find joy even in the midst of trouble.

Heavenly Father, You are the Light of the lighter side. Fill me with Your joy so that I smile easily and laugh out loud.

Grow Your Faith

And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!—Mark 4:20 (NLT)

As every gardener knows, the best seed cannot do well unless the soil is prepared. God wants us to be “good soil” so that our hearts can receive His word. Allow Him to pull the weeds that block you from His love and help you see the purpose of the struggles in your life.

Heavenly Father, I hear and accept Your Word.

Victory Over Your Problems

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.—Psalm 55:22 (KJV)

Today, write down something that is causing pain or worry in your life. Pray for relief from the problem. Resolve to take positive action if possible. Tear the paper up and toss it away. Symbolically, you will be saying goodbye to the concern, and claiming the victory God is sure to give you.

Show me Your solution, Father, and help me act accordingly.

The Source of Courage

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.—Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)

Where does courage spring from? For many, it comes from an abiding and deep trust that God is sufficient to see them through all of life’s trials. Know that with His help you can overcome any personal defeat. When the tide seems to be running against you and everything seems to be going wrong, take heart. God has not forsaken you. He never will.

Thank You, Father, for Your unconditional promise of love.
