Achieve Your Goals

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.—Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale used the above verse as a key to achieving your dreams. He advised repeating this daily and then focusing on the outcome of your goal. See success in your mind’s eye as if you have already achieved it.

Heavenly Father, give me insight to see the purpose and meaning in my life through You.

In Jesus’ Name

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.—John 14:13-14 (NIV)

When you pray in Jesus’ name, center your awareness on Him and do your best to align your will with His. Think of the prayer as if it is coming from God and shape your petition so that you are praying for His will and not your own.

Heavenly Father, align my desires with Your will and let Your will be done through me.

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.

Make Peace with Anger

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.—Ephesians 4:31 (NIV)

If you find yourself battling feelings of anger, ask the Lord to give you the strength to let go of your hostility. Spend time in prayer and reading the Bible. Refocus your thinking to His perspective on the situation.

Heavenly Father, help me treat others with the same kindness, compassion and forgiveness that You extend to me.

Be Kind and Compassionate

If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend.—Matthew 18:15 (MSG)

Jesus encourages you to do the right thing when you’ve misunderstood someone or have been offended. He asks you respond without reacting or judging and make a friend rather than an enemy.

Heavenly Father, help me heal hurt feelings with wisdom and a gentle spirit.

Believe with Your Whole Heart

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.—Jeremiah 29:12 (NIV)

How deeply do you believe? The book of Jeremiah says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” When you believe with your whole heart, amazing things will happen.

Heavenly Father, help me to know Your truth in my heart so that I walk by faith and not by sight.

Peace Filled Living

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.—Hebrews 12:1–2 (NIV)

Some days are packed with little problems: annoyances like traffic jams, missed appointments and petty misunderstandings. When frustrations draw your attention, look to Jesus’ blessings. His grace is constant and the beauty of the life He gives us is filled with peace.

Dear Lord, when little problems grow out of proportion, remind me to fix my eyes on You.

Choose Your Influence

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.—Philippians 4:8 (ESV)

This scripture advises you to guard your mind by fixing your thoughts on things worthy of your time. Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, use the verse to think about Jesus. Focus on how He is true, honorable, just and pure.

Dear Lord, help me to make all my thoughts obedient to Your word. May all my thoughts be pleasing to You.

See God’s Good Plan

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (KJV)

Challenges and obstacles are valuable tools for your spiritual growth. The winds of change help shape your faith; define your character and give you the opportunity to rise to life’s challenges with fortitude. Of course, when you’re in the eye of the storm, it can be difficult to see your many blessings… until you trust God’s plan.

In times of trouble, help me to recognize that I am truly free and blessed when I allow You to be in control.

Faithful Stewards of God’s Grace

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.—1 Peter 4:10 (ESV)

Wasting the gifts God has given us is one of life’s great tragedies. Most of us have many talents to offer, but unless we focus on them and ask God for help in applying our gifts to help others no one will ever benefit.

Lord, when I am feeling confused about where to apply my efforts, help me pick a course and take the first step.
