Rejoice and Be Glad

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.—Psalm 118:24 (TLB)
When you wake each morning, decide to focus on the positive. Seek God’s presence, and ask Him to help you see opportunity instead of difficulty. Take His hand, and ask Him to walk with you and to guide you to spend your day in ways that will glorify Him.
Lord, help me make every day wonderful and bright.

Cast Out All Fear

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.—Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)
“Fear not” is one of the most repeated commands in the Bible. Perhaps it’s because we need a lot of reassurance that God’s perfect love can cast out all fear. When we turn to Him, He will strengthen and uphold us. There is nothing to fear.
My Heavenly Father, You are my Protector. I trust You will hold me close during life’s storms and comfort me when I am afraid.

Trust God with Your Troubles

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.—Psalm 55:22 (NIV)
Jesus works in miraculous ways. Do you entrust your concerns to Him and allow Him to work His wonders in your life? You were not meant to carry your burdens alone. Give your anxiety to Him and feel His peace wash over you.
Lord, I trust You with my troubles.

Slow Down and Be of Service

Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet.—Luke 8:47 (NIV)
Jesus helped the woman who touched His robe. He was in a hurry to save Jairus’s daughter, but instead of rushing past her to get to His destination, He stopped and helped a stranger. Life is filled with split-second decisions. Reflect on how you respond to others who need your help. Open your heart and recognize that you have time to assist those that God puts in your path.
Dear Lord, help me to slow down and see the people You want me to reach out to today.

Release Your Resentment

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.—Proverbs 15:18 (ESV)
How do you respond when you get angry? Do you lash out without thinking or do you push your feelings deep down inside where they fester and grow? Instead of doing either, turn to God. Share your struggles with Him. Pray for guidance on how to release your hurt feelings.
Gracious God, help me to be more merciful, to turn to You for comfort and peace and release any resentment harboring in my heart.

A Season of Stillness

Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.—Psalm 62:5 (NLT)
Autumn, in all of its glory, is the perfect time to sit outside in nature, or by a window, and engage in the spiritual practice of being still. Use this time to embrace the calm and quiet peace of His presence. Immerse yourself in His Word.
Lord, quiet time with You is balm for my soul.

Father Mychal’s Prayer

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.—2 Corinthians 1:3 (NIV)
Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. As we pray for all those affected by the horrific events of that day, let us recite the prayer that Father Mychal Judge, a Franciscan priest and a chaplain for the New York City Fire Department, prayed on a daily basis. Father Judge was killed at the World Trade Center ministering to a fallen firefighter.
Lord, take me where You want me to go. Let me meet who You want me to meet. Tell me what You want me to say, and keep me out of Your way. (Father Mychal’s Prayer)

Invite Miracles into Your Life

So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.”—John 11:41 (ESV)
It’s been said that the prayers of the faithful open the doors of heaven and invite the miraculous. Throughout the Bible, Jesus shows us that through prayer, the impossible became possible—as in the above verse where Lazarus is raised from the dead. The unthinkable can become reality.
Merciful Lord, I believe in the power of prayer and my deep connection to You.
