Heal One Another

He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.—2 Corinthians 1:10-11 (NIV)

It has been said that pain is the great human connector. When we experience pain we are linked with all others who are also going through heartache, grief and discomfort, and in that shared experience we can pray and heal one another.

Great Comforter, how strongly I feel Your love helping and healing me as I open my heart to pray for others.

Anchored by Faith

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God.—Psalm 84:1-2 (NLT)

A balanced life comes from having faith and trusting God. When you let go of doubt and fear and give yourself fully to the moment, you can relax in the present. You can appreciate what you are going through—even if it is not what you had in mind.

Lord, I am ready to live a balanced life by accepting all of Your promises, which are anchored in faith.

Divine Insight

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord.—Isaiah 11:2 (NIV)

Life is a journey of experiences and countless gifts, but sometimes problems overshadow the goodness in the world. The practice of prayer helps to heal challenging situations and reveals light, love and forgiveness in even the most difficult times. When we turn to God, we experience His divine insight.

Dear Lord, your wisdom guides me to make decisions now that will benefit me in the future.

Seek the Spiritual This Season

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.—Psalm 90:2 (ESV)

If you find yourself crunched for time this holiday season, focus on what is eternal. Draw close to God. Make time for quiet worship and reflection. Make Jesus the focus of your day and the rest will fall into place.

Father God, I will seek You this season and be sure to focus on what is important and lasting—my relationship with You.

Joyful Surprise

They were amazed and filled with joy.—Luke 24:41 (NIV)

Jesus’ first miracle served an ordinary purpose and possibly one many can relate to even today—the wine had run out at a party. Only the servants were aware that the best wine had actually come from water. The miracle was a fitting end to a wedding, but of course as we all now know, it was just the beginning.

Heavenly Father, guide me to see the many small miracles You grace my life with; help me to always recognize Your acts of love.

Divine Timing

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

Jesus puts an idea in our hearts for a reason. Yet what does this mean when no matter how hard we try, it feels like the doors of opportunity are closing rather than opening? Perhaps God is helping you grow in patience and faith as you wait until He opens a different door in His perfect time.

Lord, help me to be patient and grateful knowing that when my life seems frustrating I am actually growing.

Christmas is a time to renew your faith, a time to align your ways with God’s will. Pause and ask yourself, how am I doing on my faith journey? Answer honestly and ask God to help you dedicate your heart to becoming your best self.

Lord, God, today I will let go of any resistance that is hindering my faith.

God Is Working for Your Good

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.—Romans 8:28 (NIV)

Whatever is weighing on your heart, God invites you to pour out your problems to Him and let His love in. Quiet your mind and listen for His guidance as He fills you with the warmth and radiance of divine love. Know that God will somehow work things out for the best.

Dear Lord, prayer is the doorway through which I recognize that each day is a gift; help me to see the good.

Lose Yourself in Prayer

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.—Matthew 6:6 (ESV)

When you are having a rough time, invite God’s glorious presence into your heart. As you shift your focus beyond your personal problems, you’ll find yourself capable of not only handling your own circumstances, but able to support others who also face similar struggles.

Dear Lord, You are the source of all good! When I lose myself in prayer, I find abundant blessings.

Unconditional Grace

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)

Jesus is always at work in our lives but because we are human and have free will, of course there are days, months, or even possibly years that we would like to edit or maybe even erase completely. Fortunately, God’s grace does exactly that. He allows us to forgive ourselves, to view our past with compassion and understanding and to be grateful for every day we have lived.

Lord, Jesus, help me to release the fear of taking responsibility for my past actions—guide me to wholly and completely accept the grace of Your forgiveness.

Light in the Darkness

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.—John 1:5 (NIV)

Jesus reminds us that He is the light of the world. When problems or difficult feelings entangle your heart, ask God to help you see that good things are ahead. He will light the way to a better day.

Lord, You are my beacon in life’s storms. You are always there when I need You and for that I am forever grateful.
