Trust God’s Power Is at Work

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.—Genesis 8:1 (NIV)
Throughout the Bible, there are many “But God” passages that turn everything around. Often it seems that there is no way, but God makes a way. He is always around you and never stops loving and caring for you.
Dear Lord, there have been times my future looked bleak, but You showed Your mercy and showered blessings upon me.

Let Your Guard Down

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.—2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV)
Jesus wants you to openly come to Him with your defenses down and your face unveiled. Surrender all parts of yourself to Him. Share everything, even the thoughts or fears that you have kept hidden and walled off. He is waiting to hear from you.
Lord, today I come to You with my guard down, sharing everything.

Fun and Faith

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.—Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)
Having fun is an important part of self-care. Make time to do what you enjoy. Go for a hike; call a friend; watch a feel-good movie that makes you laugh; play a favorite song and dance!

Heal Your Hurting Heart

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.—John 16:22 (NIV)
William Cowper said, “Grief is its own medicine.” When you experience loss, it is important to be gentle and understanding with yourself. It takes time to heal. Turn to God. He knows how you feel and cares deeply for your well-being. He is a healer of hearts. He will comfort you.
Heavenly Father, when I feel the sorrow of loss, comfort me, the way that only You can. Heal my grieving heart.

Your Rock

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”—1 Samuel 7:12 (NIV)
Jesus is your Ebenezer, your stone of support. Imagine that each time Jesus helps you, you receive a special stone. Create an altar in your mind’s eye of all these stones and turn to it when your faith wavers. Know that He is your rock. He has helped you before and He will help you again.
All-Powerful Lord, You are my Help, my Savior.

Value Your Soul

I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.—Ezekiel 34:26 (NIV)
Reflect on the beautiful words of Teresa of Avila: “Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don’t remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don’t understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.” The Lord is generous—He showers His abundance on your life.
Heavenly Father, I am filled with gratitude for Your many blessings.

Overcome Rejection

Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me.”—Luke 10:16 (NLT)
Jesus reminds us not to keep score or take rejection personally. When someone turns his back on you, remind yourself that you do not need to worry about what others think. Instead, focus on honoring Jesus and building steadfast faith.
Lord my God, I love and honor You. My true success comes from living my life guided by Your instructions.

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.

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.
