When You Let God Down

“God, show mercy to me, a sinner.”—Luke 18:13 CEB

When you feel that you’ve let God down, it can be difficult to find the right words to pray. Asking for His mercy is a perfect place to begin. You can’t change the past, but you can release your regrets to the Lord and begin anew today.

Have mercy on me, Lord. Lift regret from my heart. Help me let go of the past and forgive myself as You have forgiven me.

From Trouble to Triumph

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.—John 14:16 NIV

When something is causing you heartache, ask God to help you through it. When trials and troubles overwhelm you, trust that He will guide you through the ordeal. Remind yourself that from the perspective of a week or a month, a nagging problem usually vanishes from your mind.

Lord, show me how to put my problems into perspective.

Open Your Heart

He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).—Mark 7:34 NIV

When Jesus healed the deaf man, he yelled out, “Be opened!” When you are open to trusting God, you are receptive to His guidance, help and healing. God is faithful. If you find yourself shutting down and facing a crisis of faith, close your eyes and pray, “Be opened!”

Dear Lord, I come to You open and ready for Your healing in my life.

The Cure for Restlessness

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.—Colossians 3:15 NIV

If you are feeling restless, fill your mind with God’s Word. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). Let these verses sink deeply into your mind and spirit.

Heavenly Father, Your Word is a balm for my soul, a blessed oasis of rest and renewal.

Put on the Armor of God

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.—Ephesians 6:11 NIV

According to tradition, St. Patrick wore a breastplate adorned with a special prayer that began, “I arise today through the strength of Heaven.” He wore it as a shield of divine protection. Do you have a special prayer or verse that you hold dear to your heart?

Hope Springs Eternal

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?—Psalm 42:2 ESV

As you reflect on your life, instead of being critical, be kind and recognize that you are a work in progress and are developing a better and deeper relationship with yourself and God. If you are struggling with a painful memory or a challenging problem, ask God to help you look ahead with hope.

Heavenly Father, help me truly grasp the divine gift of Your presence in my life. You are the Source of all hope.

Turn to Kindness

The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.—Proverbs 25:23 ESV

The next time someone is unkind to you, instead of reacting with anger, practice self-control and find peace. Ask God to help you respond as Jesus would. Exchange good for evil, and try to turn your enemy into your friend.

Lord, when resentment enters my life, guide me to redirect my thoughts and respond purposefully with kindness and patience.

The Wings of Victory

Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”—John 13:37 NIV

In the above verse Peter asks Jesus why he can’t follow Him. Sometimes, a period of waiting is exactly what we need to get to the next level spiritually. Just as a caterpillar must rest and transform in a chrysalis, we must be patient and trust Him on our faith journey.

Lord, even though I feel like I am in a cocoon of waiting, I trust that beautiful wings are forming to bring me to victory.

Pray Like Job

Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.—Job 13:15 NIV

Job suffered greatly, yet he never turned his back on God. Do you feel disappointed, betrayed or abandoned by God when bad things happen? Be assured that even in the midst of trials and sorrow, God’s plan is at work. With His help, you’ll be able to see your troubles as part of a bigger picture.

Dear God, when all seems dark, help me to put my faith in You. Help me be patient and trust Your plan.
