The Perfecter of Faith

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.—Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
Jesus is the pioneer and perfecter of your faith. Lay your burdens down at His feet and continue your spiritual journey. Turn to Him for guidance on how you can live a life filled with purpose, and when you have doubts, remind yourself that He watches over you and sustains you.
Lord Jesus, when I am weary, I will fix my eyes on You.

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

And the angel said unto them, Fear not:v for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.—Luke 2:10 (KJV)
Sometimes the joy of Christmas is overshadowed by the stress of entertaining, shopping and holiday commitments. Decide to simplify. Choose to spend your energy only on what you truly love about the season. Check in with God, and ask Him to help you prioritize.
Heavenly Father, I vow not to waste this blessed time stressing over trying to meet unrealistic expectations.

The Gifts of God

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.—1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
“Above all else ,” wrote German theologian Meister Eckart, “know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive.” During this season of giving be ready to share the gifts of grace God has given you.
Lord, guide me to give my time, love and energy, so others may know the gift of Your presence.

No Need to Worry

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)
Focus on this beautiful truth: The Spirit of God dwells inside you, and because of this you can tap into His strength, power and wisdom at any moment. When you find yourself thinking negative thoughts or fearing your future, pray and feel His presence.
Merciful God, I am in awe that a spark of Your Light from the beginning of creation dwells inside of me.

Yes and Amen

Follow the Good Shepherd

When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.—John 10:4 (ESV)
Do you hear God’s voice? Or perhaps a better question is, do you listen? When the Shepherd directs your actions, do you follow Him? Ask God to help you to trust Him with every part of your life and to listen for His guidance.
Lord, You are my Shepherd, I will follow You.

Keep Forgiving

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.—Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)
Notice that the word “forgiving” in this verse implies ongoing action. God is asking us to forgive, again and again, as often as is necessary. Forgiveness can be difficult. Especially if a wrongdoing happens more than once. Free yourself from hurt feelings, pray and be forgiving.
Heavenly Father, help me to forgive others as You forgive me.

Choose Compassion

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.—Romans 3:23 (NIV)

Think About These Things

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.—Philippians 4:8 (NRSV)
When you are struggling to be positive and find yourself complaining, doubting and being just plain difficult, turn to God and ask for the Holy Spirit to help change your mindset. Focus on Christ and the power of His wisdom and joy.
