God Is Strong

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)

When you are going through a difficult time, turn to the above verse. God is strong. He will see you through the hard times. Reach out to Him for guidance. Trust that He will empower you with His strength.

Heavenly Father, calm my anxious thoughts and bring me clarity of faith; assure me that everything is unfolding according to Your divine plan.

Turn Prayer into a Dialogue

In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly.—Psalm 5:3 (NIV)

Prayer is a conversation: a give and take of talking and listening. If you find yourself praying one-sided prayers, think of the above verse and pray like King David. After you share your thoughts with God, wait and listen for His answer.

Heavenly Father, it’s Your turn to talk.

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.

Awaken Your Spiritual Passion

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.—Romans 15:5-6 (NIV)

Do you feel passionate about your faith? Strive for the kind of longing for the Lord of the psalmist who wrote, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” (Psalm 42:1-2 NKJV) Pray that your desire to be close to Him will continue to grow.

Heavenly Father, ignite true passion for fulfilling my purpose.

Finding Light in Your Darkest Hour

How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide your face from me?—Psalm 13:1 (NIV)

When you are feeling weary and burdened about a challenge in your life, it’s okay to question God, like Daniel did, and ask, “How long?” Bring your struggles and doubts to Him in prayer—and hopefully, like David your questions will be transformed into praise.

Heavenly Father, help me to see that You are always with me. In my darkest hours fill me with Your light.

Stand Firm Against Temptation

Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.—Psalm 119:98 (NIV)

Memorizing scripture is a helpful way to fight temptation. When you know God’s Word and can apply it to your life, you are better able to protect your heart, your spirit and your values. By committing to read the Bible consistently you can surrender your personal wants for His will.

Heavenly Father, help me to put Your Word first in every decision I make and prayerfully move forward trusting You to guide me as I go.
