Nurture Your Gifts

Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.—1 Timothy 4:14 (NIV)

God has blessed every person with unique gifts that serve a purpose. Are you nurturing your gifts to best serve His kingdom? Grow your gifts and find new ways that your talents can bless others.

Dear Lord, I’m up for a challenge. Use my gifts in ways I can’t imagine. Lead me toward the righteous path.

God Is Your Anchor

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain.—Hebrews 6:19 (ESV)

Jesus invites you to come to Him. He will help you rest when you are too tired to sleep. He will help you find peace when you are exhausted from guilt and worry. He is overflowing with love and waiting with open arms.

Heavenly Father, quiet that restless part of my mind. Help me to take a moment and center my thoughts on You. Help me to fully trust You with all my heart.

The Lord Is Your Keeper

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.—Psalm 121:5–6 (NKJV)

What a beautiful verse to keep your eyes focused on God, for He is the keeper of your soul. He will keep you strong. Trust in His providential care. He is your helper. He will keep you from all harm.

Mighty God, I trust You in all the details of my life and I am comforted knowing that Your power is greater than any darkness I might face.

God Is Just

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.—Isaiah 11:4 (KJV)

In our culture, where so much value is placed on monetary wealth and what it can buy, it’s easy to get caught up in judging others and even ourselves by our bank account. But the Lord’s judgment, unlike the world’s, is fair and just.

Heavenly Father, You are a wonderful God. Guide me to give encouragement to someone who needs a boost up, to hold off on judging by appearances and to simply love one another as You love us.

Scripture to De-stress

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.—John 14:26 (KJV)

Jesus’ comfort can soothe any stress. His love can go deeper than any possible trouble on Earth. So when you feel your heart race, take a deep breath and turn to the Bible. Pick one Scripture and breathe His Word into your heart.

Dear Lord, when I feel that my life is spinning out of control, steady me with Your reassurance that everything is truly in your control.

Sleep Well

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV)

On nights when the worries of tomorrow or rehashing a hard day keep you awake, turn to this Scripture. Hand your troubles over to the One who can do something about them. Tell Him what is on your mind and ask Him to guard your heart and help you find rest. Feel His perfect peace cover you.

Heavenly Father, I don’t know why I have such a hard time guarding my heart and mind and letting you be in charge. I trust You—and thankfully hand my worries over to You.

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.
