Weighed in the Balance

You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.—Daniel 5:27 (NIV)

When your heart belongs to Jesus you don’t need to worry about being weighed on God’s balances and coming up short. Take a moment and reflect on what your life would be like without God on your side.

Dear Lord, I praise You for the wholeness I feel because of Your presence in my life. Thank You for saving me.

Turn Negatives into Positives

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.—Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results.” Make a point turning your negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Instead of saying “my life is a mess” say, “with God’s help, I am making positive changes.”

Father God, guide me to see the world through a bright lens, to trust You and know that I am divinely protected and all is well.

You Are Worthy

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.—Ephesians 4:1 (NIV)

Feelings of unworthiness come in times of doubt, or tragedy, when you question why something is happening and feel distant from God. When you feel alone and unworthy, take a moment and say, “I am worthy of God’s love. I am worthy of His grace.”

Lord, in times of trouble, help me to draw closer to You, not further away. When my thoughts make me feel small and unworthy, guide me to prayer, to trust Scripture and to have faith.

Through the Roof

Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.—Mark 2:4 (NIV)

In this Scripture, a group of men were so determined for their paralyzed friend to see Jesus that they broke through the roof and lowered him down. Is there a desperate situation in your life that needs a breakthrough? With determination and faith anything is possible; believe and be willing to break through the roof if you have to.

Lord Jesus, I come to You in need. Please take my troubles and help me.

Release the Past

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

Is something that happened a long time ago hindering you from living a full life today? Ask God to help you release your emotional attachment to the past, to let go of your pain, worry or regret.

Heavenly Father, help me let go of the past so that I can appreciate the present.

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.—Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)

Happy Today and Every Day

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.—Psalm 16:11 (NIV)

Everyone loves a happy ending, and when we build our faith here on Earth, as Matthew 25:21 promises, we will share in the Master’s happiness; the best happily ever after that you can imagine.

Dear Lord, thank You for the moments of intense joy that I feel when I align my heart with Yours and for the happily ever after that is possible because of You.

Notice His Handiwork

And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.—Matthew 13:58 (NIV)

What is blocking you from experiencing God’s blessings? Is it unbelief? Every person has moments of doubt when we can’t see or don’t notice the signs of His handiwork in our lives. God doesn’t love us less during seasons of doubt. He is teaching us to walk by faith.

Heavenly Father, when my faith waivers help me to stand firmly and trust You over my questions and doubts.

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.
