Where do you place your worth? Does your confidence and happiness shift with the amount in your bank account or your latest accomplishment? When you shape your identity by doing God’s will, you’ll discover a new peace—and recognize the value in dedicating yourself to doing God’s work.

The next time you feel frustrated or trapped by a situation turn to this verse. God always has an open door, a way, an entrance to a better way of thinking or experiencing what you are going through. Don’t despair, instead turn to prayer.

God’s ways are higher than your ways. When a situation is confusing and something has happened that just doesn’t make sense no matter how much you think about it, let it go. Turn it over to God.

God, the Divine Artist, has a beautiful life planned for you. When you offer yourself to God and dedicate yourself to be part of His vision, you will accomplish greater things than you can imagine. Your life becomes His masterpiece.

When you need to feel safe and in God’s presence, repeat the above verse. Close your eyes and imagine Him taking your hand. With His support there is no need to be afraid. He is with you, knowing the unknowns and helping you feel secure. You are safe.

When you are up against bad odds, draw courage and strength from God. There is no difficulty that you cannot overcome with God at your side. Together you have the power to accomplish mighty things.
