God Is in Control

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.—1 John 4:18 (NIV)

One of God’s greatest promises is that no matter what happens, nothing can separate you from His love and protection. When you build up your spirit with this truth, your faith becomes unshakable and you become able to handle any problem with grace and strength.

Mighty God, I can relax because I know that You are in control. You are working for my good.

God Keeps His Promises

God keeps his promises. Throughout the Old Testament, whenever His people fell into trouble, God restored them and delivered on His promises. He will do the same for you.

Wonderful Counselor, I trust You and Your promises because I am on this journey with You and I know that You are faithful.

Happy Valentine’s Day

…So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.—Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV)

Rick Warren said, “God’s love is like an ocean. You can see its beginning, but not its end.” His love for you is unconditional and eternal. He loves you on good days and bad ones. He loves you no matter what. His love never fails.

Heavenly Father, fill my heart and bless my soul with Your precious gift of love.

Good Change Ahead

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.—James 1:5 (NIV)

Have you prayed and prayed about something and feel that God isn’t answering you? Sometimes God uses your prayers in unexpected ways to help you grow. If you are struggling with feeling that God is letting you down, open your heart to Him. Let Him know you are willing to change.

Dear Lord, grant me the courage to change my life for the better, even when it means accepting situations I wish were different. Bless me with the willingness to learn and adapt.

Heal Your Sorrows

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)

If you are experiencing a time of sorrow or distress, offer your suffering to God. Ask for His peace. With prayer, grief can be transformed into empathy, understanding and compassion.

God of All Comfort, when tragedy strikes, help me find me peace. Give me strength to get through pain and sorrow. Help me have hope in tomorrow.

Be Made Whole

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.—Matthew 14:36 (KJV)

You will be at peace.

Let the Spirit Lead

…For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.—Luke 12:12 (NIV)

Do you have a fixed idea of what the future holds? Instead of having your mind set on your plans, be open to what the Holy Spirit is conveying. Be attentive to opportunities He will bring your way. Is there someone whose burden you might lessen? Keep your eyes and your heart open!

Heavenly Father, today, make me aware of how I can best serve You.

Practice Stillness in God’s Presence

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”—Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

Sometimes the most productive prayer times can be as simple as quietly sitting with God, being still and feeling His presence. Like good friends enjoying the moment—words aren’t necessary. Savor the silence.

Lord, I sometimes forget the importance of being still. Thank You for these precious times where You grace me with silence that renews my mind.

Navigate Life’s Challenges

God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. “For in him we live and move and have our being.” As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’”—Acts 17:27-28 (NIV)

If your life feels out of control, find a quiet place and take several deep breaths. Focus on what is going on and visualize God in the situation with you. Feel His love and strength.

Dear Lord, You are my Savior, my wise Counselor, guiding me to make the right choices and easing my worries so that I can calmly and confidently navigate through life’s challenges.
