Live God’s Way

But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people.—Galatians 5:22 (MSG)

When you live God’s way, He plants and cultivates fruit into your life. Beautiful blessings—inspiration, endurance, empathy, serenity—will grace your days. And God’s love will flow through you to others easily and naturally.

Heavenly Father, help me remove habits or thoughts that prevent me from living Your way.

Put Happy in Your Heart

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.—Titus 3:1-2 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, born 122 years ago today, said, “Take Jesus, the greatest giver of happiness the world has ever known, into your heart. His presence in your life will bring you joy and happiness.” Do good, help people and bring blessings into their lives. Become a beacon of peace in a world of turmoil. Make someone’s day better. Life will be good and you will love it.

Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me that faith is the way of highest happiness. Help me to be a beacon of peace in this world.

The God of Guidance

He is the Rock; His deeds are perfect. Everything He does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright He is!—Deuteronomy 32:4 (NLT)

Jesus’ deeds are perfect. “God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection” (Psalm 18:30). When you need guidance, turn to Him for help. He is there for you in everything you do.

Lord, You are my rock. The One I can always turn to for wisdom and patience, advice and healing.

There Are No Unanswered Prayers

But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then His disciples urged Him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.”—Matthew 15:23 (NLT)

Have you ever had that terrible feeling that God is ignoring you? Perhaps it’s a prayer request that has been on your heart for years. After a while it’s tempting to simply give up! Instead ask Him to help you use your struggle to grow your faith.

Heavenly Father, I trust your merciful nature and trust there is always a reason and an answer that fits with Your plan.

Be a Monument of God’s Grace

Each time He said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “When you get up in the morning, you have two choices—either to be happy or to be unhappy. Just choose to be happy.” Every day focus on the good and choose to be grateful for what you have and for what you can do.

Heavenly Father, help me to be a living, happy, monument of Your grace.

Let Go of Regret

The mind is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.—Romans 8:6–7 (NIV)

Have you ever found yourself playing the game of regret? Do you pace through the past, examining failures and mishaps? When you become caught up in shouldhave thinking, ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father, guide my mind away from rehashing upsetting situations. Help me see the past as You see it, through eyes of love.

Lighten Another’s Load

When David had gone a short distance beyond the summit, there was Ziba, the steward of Mephibosheth, waiting to meet him. He had a string of donkeys saddled and loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred cakes of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs and a skin of wine.—2 Samuel 16:1 (NIV)

The above Bible verse shows the amazing impact of a gesture of encouragement. Today embrace God’s command to “encourage one another and build each other up.” Ask God to make you aware of who needs a pat on the back or a listening ear.

Heavenly Father, help me to be aware of another’s needs so that I can help ease their burden.

Prayer for Memorial Day

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.—John 15:13 (NIV)

Prayer Changes Things

She was quick: “You’re right, Master, but beggar dogs do get scraps from the master’s table.” Jesus gave in. “Oh, woman, your faith is something else. What you want is what you get!” Right then her daughter became well.—Matthew 15:27–28 (MSG)

In Jesus’ discussion with the Canaanite woman, she pleads, banters, bargains and amazingly Jesus changes His mind. This verse lets you know that you can change the outcome by prayer. But most importantly, God wants you to know that prayer changes you, transforming your attitude and bringing you closer to Him.

Dear Lord, I come to You humbly with open arms. Without Your help I don’t know where I’d be.

Glorious Freedom

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.—John 8:36 (NIV)

Nothing on earth compares to the freedom of the soul that deep faith in Jesus offers. Freedom of fear, sorrow and pain. Freedom to rest from all that burdens you. Freedom from habits and circumstances. Freedom from the past.

Heavenly Father, thank You for planning great things for me. You have set me free!

Your Alabaster Jar

While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.—Mark 14:3 (NIV)

The woman with the alabaster jar understood what she was doing when she poured very expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet. There are times in life for us, too, to break the alabaster jar—to spend lavishly and selflessly—to forget the expense and give from the heart.

Jesus, may every demonstration of my love honor You. How I would love for You to say to me as You did to the woman in Bethany, “She has done a beautiful thing to Me.”

Who Am I?

He then asked, “And you—what are you saying about me? Who am I?” Peter gave the answer: “You are the Christ, the Messiah.”—Mark 8:29 (MSG)

The true foundation for your life is answering this question about Jesus and recognizing how your answer shapes your relationship with Him. Every day, your actions and words, your prayers reveal what you believe about His identity.

“Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” Matthew 6:8 (NRSV)
