Family Harmony

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.—John 13:34 (NIV)

The holidays can put families under stress. If you have strained relationships with loved ones, take a moment and pray about it. Ask God to help you respond to contention with kindness and guide you to words and actions that are rooted in love.

Dear God, give me the patience to bear disagreements and generosity to share my joys. Open my heart with Your understanding and help me bring comfort to those around me.

Enhance Your Spiritual Vision

As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.—2 Corinthians 4:18 (ESV)

Faith is having the vision to see beyond life’s challenges to the brightness of better days. When you develop your spiritual vision you see possibilities instead of problems and recognize the importance of “things unseen.” You trust God’s hidden workings and live in harmony with His plans.

Dear Lord, I faithfully believe in things that are unseen.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)

Stay well-rested this holiday season. Before you go to sleep pray the Lord’s Prayer, followed by intercessions for others, petitions for yourself, and lastly, prayers of praise for the wondrous works of God.

Heavenly Father, fortify me with Your peace. Watch over me, bless my house and my loved ones. Help me rest in Your promise.

The God of Hope

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.—Romans 15:13 (NIV)

Catherine Marshall said, “God is the only one who can make the valley of trouble a door of hope.” It’s difficult to celebrate the wonder of the season if you are plagued by adversity. Read the above Scripture and remind yourself that God can turn problems into possibilities. Let your heart overflow with hope.

Dear Lord, help me to let go of passing challenges so that I can fill my heart with the joy of Christmas.

Radiate God’s Love

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.—John 3:16 (NIV)

This Christmas, nurture the spark of His love in your life and in the lives of those around you. Pray. Read the Bible. Be kind and compassionate to others. Smile at strangers. Have gratitude for your life and all its wonders and you’ll discover that the more you share His love, the greater it will grow.

Merciful Father, though mountains may vanish Your undying love will never leave me.

God Is with Us

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.—ISAIAH 7:14 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “If, beginning this Christmas, you say to yourself ‘God, through Jesus Christ, is with me’ and repeat it daily through the long days and weeks, in happiness and discouragement, that is the greatest gift you can give the Christ Child.” On this second Sunday of Advent, reflect on the miracle that God is here. God is with us!

How comforting to know that You are here. Praise You, Jesus!

No Comparisons

If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.—Galatians 6:3-5 (NIV)

You spend time on social media and see idealized photographs and posts of others, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing and feeling as if you’re not good enough. God wants you to know that you are special— exactly as He created you. Your family, your home, everything you are is not only good enough, it is perfect in His eyes.

Father God, when I look down on myself and feel that I am not good enough, direct my attention where it belongs, looking up to You and Your many blessings.

Say Yes to Christmas

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.—Luke 2:14 (KJV)

If you feel overwhelmed by the pressure of the holiday season, prioritize your commitments. Instead of turning this special time of year into expanding lists of must-dos, make your Christmas happy and holy by selectively saying “yes” only to what is truly important to you.

Dear Lord, help me make this Christmas a season of devotion, a time to love You even more.

Experience the Joy

Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy…—Psalm 47:1 (NIV)

Feel the joy of Christmas by spending more time with God. Carve out prayerful moments while on your daily walk, preparing dinner or right before bed. The more you make time for His presence, the more joy enters your heart. It might sound too easy but all you need to do is receive His joy and blessings.

Father Almighty, I am devoted to nurturing Your presence in my life. Fill me with Your love and joy.

Your Guardian Angel

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.—Psalm 91:11 (NIV)

 

A study some years ago showed that more than half of Americans believe they had been helped by a guardian angel. Do you believe God’s messengers protect and help you? Think about the above Scripture and reflect on your life. Can you name a time when you felt guided or protected in mysterious and comforting ways?

Heavenly Father, thank You and Your messengers for guarding, guiding and showering me with Your heavenly care.

Trust Him More

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Sometimes life’s challenges leave you doubtful about your future; in the worst cases you may even question your faith. During difficult times, when you feel as if God has let you down, turn to this verse. Read it slowly and take His Word deeply into your heart.

Lord, I need help letting go of my disappointment. I trust Your plan and know that You bring victory in my life.

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.
