Sing God’s Praises

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.—Psalm 34:1 (KJV)
The above verse directs you to do something that sounds difficult: Sing God’s praises always, in good times and in bad. Sing His praises even when you feel downcast. Voicing His praises can be the catalyst—the glimmer of hope—that turns your mood around.
Heavenly Father, how amazing is it that when I sing Your praises, You uplift my spirit.

Your Conscience Is a Gift

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.—Isaiah 30:21 (ESV)
When your conscience bothers you, do you tune it out, or do you pay attention? Think of your conscience as a gift, your personal inner guide—helping to direct your actions and shape your behavior. God often uses your conscience to alert you when your choices may not be in your own best interest.
Lord, help me to see my conscience as a spiritual tool that helps me grow closer to You.

Embrace the New

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.—Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)
Try something new. Instead of being a creature of habit and eating the same foods, spending time on the same hobbies, branch out. Travel a different route, read a different book genre. Be adventurous, you never know what new favorite thing God will invite into your life.  
Heavenly Father, there are so many amazing things to experience—help me to branch out and try new things each day.

Amazed by Prayer

After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”—Matthew 17:24 (NIV)
Have you ever been amazed by God’s answer to prayer, much like Peter must have been when he found the exact amount of money he needed inside the mouth of a fish? God is an awesome provider—He gives generously, and sometimes in ways that delight us with His remarkable and miraculous answers to prayer.
Faithful God, thank You for the surprising ways You show how much You care.

God Will Restore You

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.—Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
Take comfort from the above Scripture. Pray Jesus’ promise back to Him. Lay your burdens at His feet and ask Him for relief. He understands that the demands of this world can leave you feeling overworked and under-appreciated. Invite Him in to lift your spirits and restore you with His rest.
Lord, when my soul is weary, I will come to You, and You will give me rest.

Move Beyond Your Mistakes

Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.—James 3:2 (NLT)
Mistakes can motivate you to do something new, to grow and build the confidence and endurance to keep going. When you embrace your failures and see them as stumbling blocks that you’ve overcome, you learn to make choices that boldly face the discomfort of growth.
Lord, guide me with your strength and wisdom. Help me see the grace that comes from moving beyond my missteps.

You Are Not Alone

My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.—Psalm 25:15 (NIV)
At times when you feel alone or lonely, turn to this verse. Spend time with God. Read Scripture. Let Him comfort you and embrace you with His love. He will pluck your feet out of the net. He will rescue you.
Lord, when I am feeling lonely, embrace me and reassure me that You are here.

Let It Go

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.—Isaiah 43:18 (NIV)
It’s been said that autumn shows us just how beautiful letting go can be. What are you holding onto that no longer benefits you? Are you struggling with forgiveness, or troubled by guilt? Are you worried about something you have no control over? Follow the trees—and let it all go.
Heavenly Father, help me focus on the beauty of letting go.

Be an Encourager

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.—Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)
Enrich and enhance all the relationships in your life. Seek to be a good friend and to find good friends who will be there when you need them. Mend any broken bridges and rebuild friendships. Ask God to help you find healthy and honest relationships that nurture your spiritual growth.
Heavenly Father, help me be a better friend—to love and encourage those around me.

A Life Filled with Blessings

My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.—Psalm 119:148 (NIV)
Meditating on God’s Word and focusing on His promises can help lead you on the path to abundant living. When your thoughts are focused on His promises—instead of your problems—your heart and spirit become filled with His limitless potential. You feel the power of being protected and loved and are encouraged to look ahead with hope.
Dear Lord, Your Word leads me to a life filled with blessings.

Renewing Truth

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.—Ephesians 4:21–22 (NLT)
Paul is asking you to look at yourself honestly and see what changes you should make to be renewed and to be created in God’s image. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you see yourself as the Lord sees you. Surrender to His plan and release the patterns in your life that no longer serve you.
Lord, I am ready to be free. Renew me.
