Prayer of Relinquishment
On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.—Psalm 138:3 (ESV)
Catherine Marshall said, “When you relinquish everything to God, you stop commanding and demanding God to do things for you. As long as you keep telling God what to do, He will honor your free will and will not violate it even to answer your prayer.”
Lord, I truly and completely surrender my problem to You. I need faith right now to see blessings instead of fears. Thank You for Your promises and provision!

Tune into God’s Blessings
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.—Colossians 1:16-17 (ESV)
It’s easy to get caught up in your surroundings—by looking at your cell phone or engaging in social media—and to almost forget about the beautiful world all around you. Today, instead of blurring out the background of your life, tune in and notice God’s awesome gifts, like the blooming flowers and chirping birds.
Lord, You have given me all I need to live a joyful life. I rejoice in the beauty of Your blessings.

The Wisdom of Not Knowing
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.—Proverbs 1:5 (ESV)
It is okay to not know everything. To not know what you want, or how to make things better. When you say, “I don’t know,” it opens the door to finding out, to thinking and discovering, to praying for an answer. So the next time you feel foolish or confused because you don’t know, step back and wait, be patient. Ask for God’s help.
Heavenly Father, I don’t have all the answers but I know that You do. Teach me to live in Your wisdom.

Healing for Yourself and Loved Ones
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

Compassionate God, You know exactly what I need when I call on You for help. Heal our hurts and make us whole.

Grow While You Wait
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.—Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Waiting is part of the process of becoming the person God wants you to be—a time of growth where you experience the difference between your demands and His desires. When you surrender to His timetable, you realize He knows best.
Dear Lord, help me to see the good in waiting. Guide me to be patient and flexible, as I let go of the reins and trust Your timing.

Spiritual Roadblocks
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.—Philippians 4:11 (NIV)
Is there something in your life that is wedging between you and God? Perhaps it is jealousy, greed, or dishonesty. Whatever it may be, you must stay alert to areas in your life that are coming between you and His love. Put Him first and ask His help to release all blocks that interfere with your relationship.
Dear Lord, help me release the things that hinder my faith journey. I want to walk closely with You, the Shepherd of my faith.

Nothing Is Beyond God’s Forgiveness
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.—Matthew 5:44 (NKJV)
One thing is certain, when Judas realized the evil of his actions, he was so full of guilt that he could not live with himself. What he forgot was that Jesus would have forgiven him even for his betrayal. If you feel as if you’ve failed against God, remember there is no sin beyond His forgiveness.
Dear Lord, thank You for the grace of Your love that heals our guilt and takes away our sins.

Easter Sunday
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where He lay.”—Matthew 28:5-6 (ESV)
The Easter message tells us that we do not need to be afraid of anything, not life with all its uncertainties, not even death itself. When your spirit is filled with the unshakable strength of God in the name of Jesus Christ, you can be filled with the power of tremendous hope.
Dear God, thank You for Your sacrifice. Thank You for making all things new! Shine Your light over me. Help me reflect Your peace and hope.

The Great Silence of Holy Saturday
“Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”—Matthew 27:65 (NIV)
The tomb was silent. Yet the silence would only last one more day. Today as you wait amidst the darkness of Good Friday and the Light of Easter, make time to reflect on the hope of the resurrection.
Lord Jesus, today I will focus on the miraculous fact that the darkness of yesterday will soon be overcome by the light of tomorrow.
