Embrace the New

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.”—Genesis 12:1 (NIV)

The Lord was with Abram when he called him out of Ur and He is with you when you are starting a new project or looking to make a change in your life. You have an invitation from Christ to move forward and ahead.

Heavenly Father, when I cling to sameness—remind me that I am here to live my best life—one that rises to challenges and grows stronger and more meaningful each and every day.

Progress, Not Perfection

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.—Ecclesiastes 7:20 (ESV)

Don’t be so hard on yourself. When you reflect on your goals and where you are in your life, focus on signs of progress. Every step nearer to your goal is a success—something you should celebrate and feel good about.

Lord, help me to see myself with eyes of compassion and understanding. Guide me to appreciate the progress I am making to becoming my best self.

See the Good

God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.—Genesis 1:31 (NASB)

The ability to see is a miraculous gift. Do you use it to fully take in your surroundings or do you just glance around? When you look do you truly see? Today really look at your world, your family, your life—and smile at the gifts you have been given.

Lord, today I will look at what You have made and see how good it truly is!

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.—Matthew 2:10 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, I long for an aha moment that reveals Your presence. Show me my life’s purpose.

Walk with Jesus

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)

Jesus promises that He will provide light and guidance when your life takes unexpected turns. Though you may not always understand why you must go through a difficult challenge, you can trust that His continuing presence will lead you through.

Lord God, when I feel lost, take my hand and guide me through the darkness.

Call Forth the Riches of Everyday Life

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.—Psalm 30:11 (NIV)

Poet Rainer Maris Rilke said, “If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.” Make today the day when you call forth the riches of everyday life. Instead of being overwhelmed by your to-do list, move something that will bring you pleasure to the top of your list.

Heavenly Father, I fall into the rut of believing I am stuck or not living my best life. Help me to recognize that with Your help, I can make the best of every situation.

Grow Your Spirit in Good Soil

The farmer sows the word.—Mark 4:14 (NIV)

Are you living a life that qualifies as “good soil”? Is your heart open for His Word? Do you pray and allow His love and guidance to permeate your spirit, taking away worry and removing the parts of yourself that are no longer necessary?

Everlasting Father, I long to grow Your Word in my life. Help me work the soil of my spirit.

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)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale advised that when you need healing, do not think about the illness or condition. Instead, focus on God and His power to heal. Affirm over and over words of life, health, and strength. Steadfast prayer and faith in God are sure to bring results.

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