Be Spiritually Fit

have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.—2 Timothy 4:7 (NIV)

THIS TIME OF year many people focus on being physically fit, but it’s even more important to be spiritually fit. To become spiritually strong, you must be determined to be faithful. Spending time each day reading the Bible will make you stronger as you run the race of life.

Heavenly Father, on days when I feel too tired or busy to spend time with You, guide me to do it anyway.

Don’t Give Up on God

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.—Psalm 27:13 (NIV)

WE’VE ALL BEEN there…a persistent prayer that aches at your heart and seems to go unanswered. Take heart, don’t give up. Though it’s hard to have patience, know you’ll never regret waiting on Him. When it may look as if God is doing nothing, He is busily at work behind the scenes.

Dear Lord, give me patience to wait for Your answer.

Three Blessings

Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.—Psalm 136:26 (NIV)

E. M. BOUNDS wrote, “Giving thanks is the very life of prayer. It is its fragrance and music, its poetry and its crown.” Try this prayer technique: every day, thank God for three things—any three blessings that come to your mind. Praying gratefully is a key to seeing all that is right in your life.

Heavenly Father, thank You for blessing me with Your Word, for giving me the wisdom to recognize Your grace in my life and for this moment, right now, when I feel Your love in my heart.

Miracles Designed Just for You

He is the one you praise; He is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.—Deuteronomy 10:21 (NIV)

EXPECT A MIRACLE. Believe God can do the impossible. The secret behind having a miracle happen to you is simply to be open and ready to receive. Little daily miracles are often overlooked. Watch for them and be expectant enough to work for them and they will happen to you.

Lord, keep me always with that eager, trusting, childlike expectancy.

Learning to Recognize Answers to Prayer

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.—Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

OFTEN WE GO from one concern to another without pausing to recognize that God regularly helps us through our problems. What was worrying you a year ago, a month ago? Occasionally, look back and consider the obstacles you have overcome with God’s help. It will give you perspective and confidence that present difficulties will get better.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your part in solving my past problems and for standing by me today when life seems overwhelming!

Celebrate the Epiphany

Where is the One who has been born king of the Jews? We saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him.—Matthew 2:2 (NIV)

TODAY IS THE Epiphany, sometimes called Little Christmas because it commemorates the arrival of the Wise Men in Bethlehem where they presented baby Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Today, only 12 days after Christmas, if the joy of giving seems very far away remind yourself that we are the recipients of God’s goodness throughout the year, at all times, in all seasons. In turn, we should give our time, talent, resources and love.

Heavenly Father, help me to always remember when I give Your light flows through me.

Victorious Forgetfulness

Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)

NORMAN VINCENT PEALE referred to “victorious forgetfulness” as the art of forgetting about the things holding you back, letting go and reaching forward for what lies ahead. Yesterday is over. Focus on today.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your great truth and reminders that tomorrow will be wonderful. Help me forget the past and live today with a consciousness of the greatness and the opportunity of life.

Build Your Confidence

In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence.—Proverbs 14:26 (KJV)

WHEN YOU GET close to God, your weaknesses, self-doubts and insecurities disintegrate. You, as a child of God, have the strength within you to meet any situation. Make a plan of what you aspire to be, and hold it firmly in your mind. Commit to living into God’s hands and let Him bring out of you the powerful person within you who is able to overcome.

Heavenly Father, let me feel close to You. Grant, O Lord, that in this moment I may truly surrender my life to You and realize the power that is within me.

Look Ahead with Hope

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!—Psalm 42:11 NLT

Heavenly Father, no matter what challenges I face, I can still rejoice in You. You are the Source of all hope. I trust Your plan.
