Declutter Your Spiritual Life

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.—Psalm 51:7 (NIV)

Take a moment and reflect on your faith. Go through your life and see what’s getting in the way of your relationship with God. Ask Him for guidance as you dig deep into the clutter and clear away any grime separating you from Him.

Heavenly Father, clean my heart, wash me clean by Your Spirit and Your Word.

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.
