Faith in God’s Timing

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.—PSALM 130:5 (NIV)

God’s timing is sometimes different from your own, and waiting on Him and remaining hopeful might seem impossible. If you become weary, turn to the Bible. Remind yourself who God is and why you should continue to hope in Him. Trust as David, the great king of Israel, did in the above verse, and know that God will guide your steps.

Heavenly Father, I know you are faithful to me, and I will be faithful to You, trusting that You hear and always answer my prayers.

Choose Better!

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)

There are many sayings about how we handle loss and difficult situations. That our reaction to devastating experiences can either make one bitter or better; our personal tragedies can either define or refine. Reflect on your life and your way of handling adversity. Ask God to help you release the pain and hard feelings that linger after loss and turn those feelings into something positive.

Dear Lord, when I feel broken hold me close and comfort me with Your perfect peace.

Embrace Uncertainty

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.—Habakkuk 3:17-18, (NIV)

Author Bob Goff said, “Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won’t have a title until much later.” Very few people have mastered the art of embracing change. If you struggle with new situations ask God for help in feeling more secure. Know that He is always the same and He is always there.

Heavenly Father, help me release my fear of change and recognize that the only way I can grow is by living life fully and completely.

The Key to More Energy

He must become greater; I must become less.—John 3:30 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “the more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.” If your life is lacking enthusiasm look for ways to expand your thinking beyond yourself and your needs. Repeat “More God, less me.”

Heavenly Father, when my thoughts and deeds are set on serving myself, right my thinking. Guide me to serve You.

Draw Your Attention to God

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”—Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)

Are you at a crossroads and finding it difficult to decide what to do, which goal to pursue, or how to spend your time? Sometimes too many opportunities can cause confusion and worry about making a mistake. When you feel overwhelmed by options, draw your attention back to God. Ask Him to help you choose the right path.

Give God Control

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.—2 Samuel 22:33 (KJV)

It’s easy to fall into the illusion of believing that you can control everything. But the fact is that circumstances arise that are completely beyond your power. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and defeated, trust the greatest power in the world. Give the situation and the outcome to God.

Heavenly Father, I surrender my desire to control what is outside of my grasp. Guide me to concentrate on what I can control: my thoughts, my actions and growing my faith to trust You.

A Prayer for When Life is Hard

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.—Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)

Devotional author Julia Attaway writes that there is one question you can ask God when you are in the midst of a problem. Instead of dwelling on your feelings, ask God, “Lord, what do you want me to learn?” Perhaps His lesson is patience or trust. Listen for His answer.

Lord, help me to stay calm when trouble arises, guide me to find purpose in every situation.
