Have a Happy Spirit

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”—Luke 11:28 (NIV)

As Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Your thoughts can change your life,” and the most positive thoughts are stated in the Bible. The Word of God is alive. When you fill your mind with Scripture, the Word becomes part of you, guiding your actions, leading you to live a secure life—free from fear and filled with meaning.

Lord, thank You for the gift of Your Word that fills my spirit with purpose and meaning!

From the Heart

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.—1 John 4:16 (NIV)

Everything that God does for us is out of love. Often we misunderstand His intentions and see the world through a lens of judgement or punishment—and we adopt that same viewpoint of judging others or seeing a downward turn of life’s circumstances as the result of wrongdoing. Instead, shift your view to reflect on God’s intention of shaping our actions and intentions to come from a place of love and compassion.

Heavenly Father, guide me to treat others with heart—to see the world through a filter of love.

Love Your Shape

So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them… Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!—Genesis 1:27, 31 (NLT)

As we enter into bathing suit season, the time of year when you might be tempted to look in the mirror and judge your reflection, shift your focus to the above verse. If you find yourself being critical, recognize that God designed every part of you. You are His masterpiece! You are His child.

Dear Lord, guide me to see the beauty that You created in me.

Never Alone

But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.—Luke 5:16 (NIV)

When you feel alone or lonely reflect on the above verse. God invites you to turn to Him in prayer. He offers comfort and support. He will meet you in life’s lonely places and give you the peace, rest and sense of belonging you desire.

Lord, You are here. You are my blessed companion in my time of need.

God Will Provide

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.—Genesis 22:14 (KJV)

The Old Testament uses the name Jehovahjireh meaning “God Will Provide.” Like Abraham, you can be confident that God will provide the resources to fill your needs. When you turn to Him in prayer, there is no doubting or hesitation, because your faith is larger than your circumstance.

Heavenly Father, I know that You will supply all of my needs according to Your riches in glory.

Receive His Mercy

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.—Hebrews 4:16 (NLT)

When you feel tired and need a boost of God’s goodness, ask Him to fill you with His strength and inspire you with divine energy. He will give you the courage and confidence that you need to keep going.

Lord, You are the source of all energy. I long to dwell in Your goodness, to renew my mind and body with Your presence.

Uncertain Tomorrows

Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.—Psalm 29:2 (NLT)

When you are faced with a problem, instead of closing down in disbelief or anger, open your mind and your heart to Jesus. Lay your fears at His feet. Praise Him for His grace and His infinite love that will lead you into glory.

Father God, I don’t know what tomorrow brings, but I can relax because I trust Your promise to take care of my needs.

Lost and Found

And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.—Luke 15:5 (NIV)

In the parable of the Lost Sheep, the shepherd leaves his flock to find the one that is lost. When you feel alone and distant from God, know that it is never too late to turn to Him. He has compassion for those who are lost. In the words of James 4:8, “Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.”

Jesus, when I have lost sight of where I am and where my life is going, help me find direction. Guide my steps and thoughts. Give me peace.

Light in Dark Times

Stand steady, and don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Bring others to Christ. Leave nothing undone that you ought to do.—2 Timothy 4:5 (TLB)

Often, during life’s darkest times, we experience a glimpse of the divine that significantly changes our perspective and helps deepen our faith. During the grief of losing a loved one, or facing a serious illness, God will give signs that you are not alone. He will let you know that there is nothing to fear because when everything around you seems dark, it is easiest to see the light.

Lord, may I always have the grace to praise You, in darkness and in light.

Believe and You Will See

“Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.—John 9:7 (NIV)

In the above verse, Jesus directed the blind man to go into the water without explanation. The man followed His words and both his physical and spiritual eyes were opened. When you have the faith to follow God’s divine instructions—not because of an end goal, but because you believe and trust His guidance—you experience the blessing of spiritual sight.

Dear Lord, I long to trust and obey You. Give me a humble heart to follow Your instructions.

Find Meaning

“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”—Ecclesiastes 1:2 (NIV)

Bible scholars have translated the above verse in many different ways, but essentially the meaning remains the same. What is the purpose of life? How should we spend our finite time on earth? Of course, the answer is to use our time to grow spiritually, to nurture our relationship with God.

Lord, so many of us spend our time searching for what we already have: a meaningful life devoted to You.

Make Trusting God a Habit

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.—Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)

When the unexpected strikes, instead of filling your mind with worry, take a deep breath and say, “I trust You, God.” Redirect your feelings of being out of control and focus on letting go and trusting the One who cares deeply for you.

Heavenly Father, instead of turning toward fear, I will turn to You. I love and trust You with all my heart.
