Be Good to Yourself

Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.—1 Corinthians 10:11 (ESV)

As another year winds down and we enter the holiday season, it’s not unusual to reflect on your life. Be kind to yourself and recognize you are a work in progress. You are growing in faith. Look ahead with hope. God has great plans for you!

Heavenly Father, help me truly grasp the divine gift of Your presence in my life. You are the Source of all hope.

In Life’s Darkest Moments

My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.—Matthew 26:39 (NIV)

Unfortunately, at one time or another, we all face dark and painful moments. But we don’t have to go through our struggles alone. God will lead us through the darkness, until we come into the light again.

Lord, when my journey seems long and dreary, help me remember that You are traveling by my side.

The Source of All Wisdom

Give your servant a discerning heart.—1 Kings 3:9 (NIV)

If you have a decision to make and need wisdom, go straight to the Source. Ask God to show you how to make choices that will bring honor to His name. As Daniel described in verses 2:21-22: “He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.”

Heavenly Father, You are the Source and the Light of wisdom.

Look to the Clouds

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.—Acts 1:9 (NIV)

In this scripture, and in different passages throughout the Bible, clouds symbolize divine presence. Other examples are when Moses ascended Mount Sinai and a cloud covered the mountain, or at Solomon’s dedication when a cloud filled the temple. The next cloudy day, pause to reflect on God’s use of clouds to remind us of His presence and to feel His comfort when it is overcast.

Heavenly Father, help me feel Your presence, in both cloudy and cloudless skies.

A Time for Rest

The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”—Exodus 33:14 (NIV)

Autumn is a season of rest. The colder and darker days invite you to cozy up and relax. Listen to the cues of nature and recognize that rest is necessary. Give yourself permission to take a break from stress!

God Almighty, renew my mind, body, and spirit. Fill me with Your peace, love and joy.

Nothing to Fear

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

On days when you feel overcome by worry and fear, repeat the above verse and ask God to help you be brave. Find courage and strength in His Word. Turn to Isaiah 41:10 and hold “Do not fear, for I am with you,” firmly in your heart.

Lord, when I am afraid, wrap Your loving arms around me and help me to remember I have nothing to fear.

Love Greatly

Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.—Luke 7:47 (NIV)

Love and relationships are complicated. Everyone makes mistakes, says things they shouldn’t, misses events and misreads unspoken signals. This verse helps us to remember that loving, trying and forgiving are all necessary parts of loving greatly—and experiencing God’s love.

Heavenly Father, help me to have a forgiving heart that opens me to Your great love.

Pray for Peace

The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.—Isaiah 32:17 (NIV)

Do you pray for world peace? Sometimes we are so caught up in our own personal needs that we forget to put the power of prayer behind something as large as peace on Earth. Today, focus all your thoughts on the people of the world; ask God to give leaders the insight to obtain justice for all. Teach us all humility and responsibility to care for those in need so that the world may be a safe home for everyone.

Prince of Peace, may the oppressed and needy experience justice, equality and a world without hunger and poverty.

Waiting for His Promise

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.—Hebrews 10:36 (NIV)

God’s promises happen in God’s timing. Sometimes we mistakenly believe that our wants should determine what happens when we know deep in our hearts that God’s blessings happen according to His perfect timing. When we do His will, we must also be patient and trust that we will see the promise fulfilled.

Heavenly Father, help me to be a faith-filled and patient person worthy and appreciative of Your graces.

God’s Healing Power

O Lord, if You heal me, I will be truly healed; if You save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for You alone!—Jeremiah 17:14 (NLT)

Do you need to feel God’s healing power? Make time for yourself and for God. Pray and ask Him to help you relax so that you receive His healing power. Share your fears and tears. Ask that He shine His blessings on You.

Heavenly Father, I seek Your calming peace that comes from the wisdom that “this too shall pass.”

Follow His Instructions

The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.—Exodus 1:17 (NIV)

When the King of Egypt instructed the midwives to kill all infant boys as soon as they were born, the caring women instead listened to their hearts and let the boys live. Of course, they were afraid of disobeying the king, but their fear of disobeying God was much greater and God blessed them and helped them deliver His children.

Heavenly Father, thank You for blessing me with the ability to hear Your guidance and callings, and to have the courage to rise above fear to follow Your lead.

Experience His Grace

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)

Is there something in your past that weighs on your heart? Maybe something you said or didn’t say, a mistake or misunderstanding that still nags at your conscience? Turn to God and ask for His grace to forgive and cleanse you. Ask Him to lift this burden so that it no longer pulls you down and keeps you from experiencing His pure and beautiful love.

Dear Lord, when I put my full faith in You, I release the burden of sin and experience Your grace.
