Scripture asks that you seek God first in your life. Spend time with Him especially on days when your to-do list is long. Your life will run smoother, your decisions made easier, and your priorities will become clearer when you are rooted in faith. Everything works best with Him on your side.

Take a moment and consider the amazing power of Christ in your life. Feel the comfort of His infinite love. Reflect on how much He suffered for you. Spend time with Him in prayer and ask Him how you can truly know Him.

Jesus not only guided His disciples with His words, but with His walk. He modeled how to share the good news, how to live a life of prayer and so much more. You are also an example to others and the road you travel with Christ isn’t just for you, but for all those who follow and learn.

In our world filled with distractions, it can be difficult to hear God’s voice. To bend your ear toward Him, bookend your day with prayer. Dedicate the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of every day as your special meeting time with God. Remain spiritually alert; God speaks to us in unexpected ways.

The Bible is filled with names for Jesus. Isaiah calls Jesus “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (9:6). Each specific name comforts and sustains us during different seasons of our lives. The Bread of Life (John 6:35) will nourish your hungry spirit. The Good Shepherd (John 10:11) will guide you on your way. And when all seems dark, the Light of the World is there for you (John 8:12).

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said to overcome life’s problems, imagine all your difficulties as an army, lined up against you. Then realize you have the greatest force on your side. With God you can face your enemies: discouragement, frustration, disappointment, financial trouble. Believe the above Scripture. Believe God’s unstoppable power.
