Watch and Pray

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”—Matthew 26:41 (NIV)

Jesus knows your struggles. He has the ability to help you overcome and conquer any temptation that you face. When you are in a challenging situation, be mindful of this Scripture. Watch and pray.

Mighty God, help me keep my eyes open and focused on You. Help me avoid the situations that put my self-control at risk.

God’s Purpose for You

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”—Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)

Just as God told Jeremiah the above beautiful verse, the same is true for you. God knows you just as intimately—and has unique plans for your life.

Heavenly Father, when I feel alone or that my life lacks purpose, guide me back on track and put me in tune with your plans.

Cultivate Harmony

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”—John 14:6 (NIV)

Do your best to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Use the Bible and His teachings to help you lead a happy and fulfilled life. Miracles happen when ordinary people serve an extraordinary God.

Dear Jesus, I will follow You in my thoughts and actions. I will turn to You for guidance and live in the consciousness of Your presence.

What Is Your Mountain?

“Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”-Joshua 14:12 (NKJV)

In the verse above, Caleb was confident that with God’s help he would be able to take the mountain territory. Each of us has mountains in life to overcome, but if we ask for God’s help to quell our fears, we can rise to the challenge.

Father God, I’m ready to bravely conquer the mountain ahead.

God Is Leading You On

For we live by faith, not by sight.—2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)

This verse reminds us that when you are confused or blinded by an unwelcome change in your life, instead of getting bogged down by the past and how your situation could have been avoided, turn to your faith. Remember that even in the darkness, God is leading you.

Heavenly Father, I trust that today and every day is a gift filled with Your blessings.

When You Are Afraid

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.—Psalm 34:4 (NIV)

Fear can be the basis of selfishness. When you feel threatened, do you turn inward and hold on tightly to what you have? Instead of recoiling against the world, turn to God. See the value in reaching out to others. Be brave and kind.

Mighty God, no matter what I face, I know that nothing is impossible with You at my side.

Open My Eyes

And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.—2 Kings 6:17 (NIV)

When you need to get the big picture or the truth about a given situation ask God to open your eyes to what is happening—and to guide you to the right decision or in the right direction. Trust that He can transform your confusion into clarity, your fear into opportunity.

Lord, when I don’t know what to do, open my eyes so that I may see.

Free Yourself from Sin

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.—Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)

When Jesus told His followers to pray “Forgive us our sins” he was addressing our need for cleansing ourselves from guilt and the negative feelings that happen when we know we’ve done something wrong. If you are holding onto your misdeeds, pray for God’s forgiveness and then forgive yourself.

Heavenly Father, when I confess my transgressions You graciously provide me with the peace of forgiveness.

The Future Awaits

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.—Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)

Are you excited about tomorrow? If you find yourself feeling the blahs of day-to-day living, try something new. Pray for the energy and guidance to move forward— to learn a new hobby, volunteer where you’re needed, adopt a pet that needs a home. The time to do something new is now.

Lord God, I have no idea what you have in store for me, but I am excited. The future awaits!

Seasons of Change

He has made everything beautiful in its time.—Ecclesiastes 3:11 (ESV)

The cycles in life, the seasons of change, are completely natural and part of God’s order. When you need reassurance and guidance turn to the Source of all wisdom. He will help sustain you through the ebb and flow of faith and times of uncertainty.

Dear God, I know you will never desert me. I surrender my troubles to You knowing that You will take care of me.

True Eternal Value

And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.—1 John 2:17 (ESV)

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.

Lord, when I get confused or distracted by worldly goods turn my focus to what is most important—my relationship with You.

God Is Opening a Door

See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.—REVELATION 3:8 (NIV)

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.

Merciful Father, lead me to the open door.
