Serve Humbly

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.—Philippians 2:3 (NIV)
Being of service to others helps you grow closer to God. When you give your time and energy to another in need, not for your own gain but in selfless service, you experience something greater than yourself. You allow God’s love to flow through you.
Lord, I am ready to humbly serve You. Show me where I am needed.

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.

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.

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.
