Devote a specific time every day to connect with God. It is best to begin your morning with prayer and align yourself with God’s will. Pray that your day serves Him by showering those around you with love, understanding and kindness. Ask Him to fill your spirit with His immense love.

Do you ever feel too small to matter to God? If you feel God has forgotten you, turn to Scripture and tell Him that you are ready to serve Him. Pour out your worries. God wants you to know that you can do wonderful, great things for His glory. He has instilled a specific and genuine purpose in you to thrive and contribute to His kingdom.

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.

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.

God is always true to His word. And in every difficult situation He is present, helping you through fearful times and guiding you to bring victory out of them.

The more you pray the more you realize God’s wisdom is greater than your own and His will more important than yours. When you make prayer a regular part of your day, it becomes easier to release control of the outcomes in your life and yield to His timing and glory.

You are progressing on the Way of Holiness. Reflect on how you feel as you move toward being more fully centered on God’s will. Take a moment and praise God for the positive changes happening in your faith and your life.

God’s Instructions aren’t always big, momentous life-changing moments. Often He gives us seemingly small instructions, little nudges to point us in the right direction. God is speaking to you all the time. Incline your ear and heart to His words.

Nurture your connection with God by taking a moment to say a prayer that blesses someone or something. Start your morning with a blessing prayer and you’ll receive His gifts throughout the day.
