Calm the Chaos

And He said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”—Matthew 18:3–4 (NIV)

Life doesn’t always make sense. You can get frustrated and weary trying to figure out why something happened, or how God could allow it. You can drive yourself crazy mulling over ways to fix things, or you can put your focus on having genuine child-like faith.

Heavenly Father, help me to relinquish control and lean on You! May childlike faith guide me all of my life.

Morning Star

I, Jesus… am the bright Morning Star.—Revelation 22:16 (NIV)

Every morning is a fresh beginning, an opportunity to focus on a new day, filled with hope. Fix your eyes on Jesus and feel His love. When you begin your day with Him, every day will be a great day.

Lord Jesus, thank You for the blessing of this day. Help me live with my heart full of joy and anticipation.

True Richness

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.—Philippians 4:8-9 (NIV)

How do you define wealth? Is it the balance in your bank account or the type of car in your driveway? True richness is not measured in currency, but in experience, compassion, forgiveness and faith. True richness comes from your relationship with God. If you don’t feel wealthy, list the many priceless blessings you have that money can’t buy.

Heavenly Father, Your life-giving truths fill my heart with peace.

Experience God’s Power

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

When you seek God’s guiding presence, turn to this beautiful Bible verse which assures us that God’s power works best when we are weak. Our own shortcomings can either defeat us or make us aware of God’s strength. Invite Him to turn your vulnerability into an opportunity to increase your faith and experience His power in your life.

Heavenly Father, when a problem depletes my energy, replenish my spirit and give me strength.

When You Don’t Know How to Pray

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)

WHEN YOU ARE overcome with emotion or faced with a crisis, you may find it hard to pray. In moments like those, turn to the Holy Spirit. Share your difficulties and ask for Him to help you pray what is on your mind and heart.

Dear God, Give me the thoughts and words to pray right now, in accordance with Your will.

Dear God, help me to face the changes I should make in my life; grant me the courage to leap.

Scripture for Peaceful Sleep

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)

END YOUR DAY with prayer. Before you go to sleep, pray inspiring and comforting words from the Bible. Find a few favorites and keep them by your bed. Pray God’s Word before you fall asleep.

Turn Annoyance into Gratitude

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways.”—Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

It’s not easy feeling thankful when you are aggravated by setbacks. No matter what you face, one thing remains the same—God. He is with you through life’s big and small problems. Thank Him for being there and trust Him to see you through.

Heavenly Father, help me to see You as the One who walks with me, blessing my day and guiding me to live my life meaningfully.

Unite with God

When my life was ebbing away, I remembered You, Lord, and my prayer rose to You, to Your holy temple.—Jonah 2:7 (NIV)

Anything is possible when you ignite the power of prayer into your life. Prayer is not the means to end. Prayer itself is the power—the intimacy and strength of connecting with God. When you unite with God, you are a winner regardless of the problem you face.

Dear Lord, I come to You with a grateful and open heart. Thank You for being with me.

Comfort in Times of Grief

I am the light of the world.—John 9:5 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale once said: “Darkness is powerless before the onslaught of light. And so it is with death. We have allowed ourselves to think of it as a dark door, when actually it is a rainbow bridge spanning the gulf between two worlds.” When you are grieving, turn to the Bible, God is with you.
Lord, when I can’t feel Your presence, when I feel I can’t even pray, I still know in my heart that You know my troubles. You feel my despair. You will help me through my grief.

Heavenly Father, I praise You for this great gift of life! Thank You for everything. Thank You for my past which has shaped me into who I am and thank You for my future filled with new opportunities. I praise You for blessings on the way.
