Comfort from Heaven

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”—John 11:25-26 (NIV)

For those missing a loved one in Heaven, take comfort knowing that someday you will be reunited them. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale once said: “Darkness is powerless before the onslaught of light. And so it is with death. We have allowed ourselves to think of it as a dark door, when actually it is a rainbow bridge spanning the gulf between two worlds.”

Our Heavenly Father, thank You for this great truth that life and love are everlasting.

Bring Light to Dark Places

There are six things the Lord hates… and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.—Proverbs 6:16, 19 (NIV)

Some situations and people seem to pull us into negativity—whether it’s bad influences, gossip or judging others. If you feel yourself entertaining negative behavior, focus on your faith and change your perspective. Rather than be pulled into the darkness of conflict, be a gentle guide to show another the Light.

Heavenly Father, guide me to see the positive in others, to build strong and loving relationships.

Find Your Way in the Night Sky

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! … When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them?—Psalm 8:1a, 3-4, (NIV)

When you go outside at night and gaze upwards at the heavens—take in the vast beauty of the moon and stars. Recognize the infinite possibilities of God’s work. Apply that fresh perspective to your own situation and what you perceive as your problem.

Dear Lord, when I am focused on my problems, and most likely making mountains out of molehills, guide me to go outside, look upwards and have faith in Your omnipotence.

Retreat and Recharge

But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their inﬁrmities. But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.—Luke 5:15–16 (ESV)

It’s important to follow Jesus’ example and retreat to a quiet place and pray. Take in the stillness and rest in God. Remind yourself that you don’t have to do anything alone. Jesus is the Savior and He will help you.

Heavenly Father, when I focus my attention on You, the rest falls into place.

When There Are No Words

Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her.—Luke 4:38 (NIV)

Sometimes when a loved one is ill, it is difficult to find the words to pray, or to know how to ask God for His help. Today’s verse is a reminder that Jesus is with you, and if words escape you a simple “God, help her,” is a perfect prayer.

Lord, when I can’t find the words, I know You hear my heart and that the Spirit will intercede for me and carry my requests to You.

Prune My Life

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.—John 15: 2 (NIV)

In today’s Bible verse, Jesus speaks of how God prunes us by cutting away things that are blocking Him from producing fruit in your life. Ask Him for the insight to see what needs to be plucked from your life—habits, bad thoughts, actions—so that You can follow His plan for your life.

Heavenly Father, help me prune my life so that I can grow closer to You.
