Solve Problems

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.—James 1:5 (NIV)

Have you been wrestling with a problem? If something is troubling you, dedicate your prayer time to that specific issue. Separate yourself way from noise and interruption and ask for His help. He may have an exciting revelation for you.

In the midst of confusion, Lord, clear my mind so I can hear Your voice.

Respond with Love

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.—Luke 6:27-28 (NIV)

Fighting fire with fire may work in forests, but it isn’t effective when it comes to relationships. Jesus taught that we should bless those who curse us, and return good for evil. It isn’t productive to respond to anger with anger, or hate with hate. As difficult as it may seem, Jesus promises peace to those who follow His instructions.

Restrain me Lord, help me draw upon Your peace, and respond with love.

God Shines Upon Us

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.—John 1:5 (NIV)

Today as we change the clocks back, take a moment and look back on the past year. Remember all the good things that God has done for you. Visualize sunlight shining on the glorious moments of your past and extending brilliant rays of light ahead into the future.

Jesus, thank You for Your Light which brings new hope of glorious beginnings.

Let Go

Yes, I am the vine, you are the branches… apart from Me you can do nothing.—John 15:5 (NLT)

Each one of us is a living branch of this vine! If your energy and effort isn’t spent on deepening your connection with Jesus the Vine, your branches will dry up. Is there something that is getting in the way of maintaining a healthy and strong relationship with Him? Set your mind on letting go of any behaviors, thoughts or fears that separate you from God.

Heavenly Father, You are my Source of Life, the One and Only Vine.

Believing Is Beautiful

But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in His name,” His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.—Jeremiah 20:9 (NIV)

Beliefs aren’t something we take lightly. When we believe in something we feel it with passion and love. We defend and honor our beliefs. So when we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and totally believe in Him, our lives are filled with new hope and new meaning. As in the above verse, the heat in your heart tells you of His inner presence. Your actions tell others.

Heavenly Father, may my life manifest Your love.

Look Forward Not Back

Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)

Memories are great places to visit, but don’t dwell there. Instead, heed the Apostle Paul’s advice in the above verse. Growing and aging each day is one of God’s greatest gifts. Thank Him for every new day–and then get on with the work that lies ahead.

Heavenly Father, help me make the most of every day of my life.

Clear Away Obstacles

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.—2 Corinthians 12:10 (NIV)

Are you feeling frustrated about reaching your goals? Take a moment and consider what is stopping you. Whether it is lack of commitment, perfectionism, fear of failure, fatigue or interruptions—whatever—pray about how to eliminate the obstacles that keep you from achieving your goals.

Heavenly Father, give me the faith, determination and perseverance to succeed.

“Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.”—John 7:37 (NIV)

When you focus your heart on Jesus, you gain a priceless gift—spiritual prosperity. The more you consciously embrace His presence, the greater you’ll experience the abundance of His blessings.

Heavenly Father, open my heart to welcome the streams of living water to flow within me.

Make a Major Break-Through

Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.—Mark 2:4 (NIV)

In this Scripture, a group of men were so determined for their paralyzed friend to see Jesus that they broke through the roof and lowered him down. Their breakthrough led Jesus to heal the man. Look to your heart. Is there any place where you need a breakthrough for healing?

Heavenly Father, help me identify and break down the barriers that block me from Your healing.

Knowing God’s Will

So Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said—look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”—Judges 6:36-37 (NKJV)

How can we be sure of God’s will? Seldom do we receive signs as clear as Gideon’s wet fleeces, but given time and patience, we can receive guidance from the small voice that prompts all who listen. If you have a difficult decision, petition God for help.

Help me wait patiently, Lord, when problems appear and ready answers aren’t available.

Life-Changing Thoughts

And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”—Mark 9:23 (ESV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Change your thoughts and change your world.” Your mind is a potent tool. It can work for or against you. It can help you achieve great victories or lead you down the road to inglorious defeat. You choose.

Lord, I believe. Help me see myself as You see me.
