Turn Annoyance into Gratitude

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways.”—Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

It’s not easy feeling thankful when you are aggravated by setbacks. No matter what you face, one thing remains the same—God. He is with you through life’s big and small problems. Thank Him for being there and trust Him to see you through.

Lord, help turn my complaints into praise. Praise for You!

Scripture for a New Start

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”—John 8:12 (ESV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said if you want to make a new start in your life put this verse in your mind and center your thoughts on it every day. Repeat, “I am the light of the world. Follow me and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.”

Heavenly Father, help me to see You as the One who walks with me, blessing my day and guiding me to live my life meaningfully.

Snap Out of the Worry Cycle

Therefore, I say to you, don’t worry about your life, what you’ll eat or what you’ll drink, or about your body, what you’ll wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothes?—Matthew 6:25 (CEB)

Are you a chronic worrier? Do you agonize over big things and little things no matter how hard you try? If so, take Jesus’ words to heart. He tells you not to worry. Worry is a choice you have power over. Instead of feeding your anxiety, focus your trust on Him.

Dear God, I give You my worries so that You may give me Your peace.

How Are You Doing?

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.—Romans 12:1 (KJV)

Sometimes stress and responsibilities and can take up all your time. Don’t get caught in the trap of running from place to place without spending too much time thinking about where you are going and why. Take a moment and reflect. Review your priorities and ask God for insight and guidance. Are you in the center of His will or have you let other things crowd Him out?

Dear Lord, align my life with Your purpose.

Pray “As If”

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.—Colossians 4:2 (NIV)

There’s an old saying attributed to St. Ignatius, “Pray as if everything depends on God, work as if everything depends on you.” When you pray and work with all you’ve got, you really can’t lose. Even if you fall short of reaching your goal, you will be better for the experience.

Dear Lord, encourage me to keep working, keep trying, keep hoping, and keep praying.

Sing God’s Praises

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.—Psalm 40:3 (NIV)

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.
