Tune in to God’s Voice

While you were doing all these things, declares the Lord, I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen; I called you, but you did not answer.—Jeremiah 7:13 (NIV)
Is something distracting you from hearing God’s voice? Are you creating the time and focus to recognize His guidance? Your Heavenly Father sends His words of wisdom and peace again and again. Quiet your mind to receive His messages.
Dear Lord, I seek Your voice and long to hear Your promises and plans for me.

See God’s Hand

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
When you are feeling discouraged, reflect on the many times God has carried you through painful struggles. It has been said that when you leave everything in God’s hands, you will see God’s hands in everything.
Heavenly Father, guide me to release any worries that entangle my heart so I may joyfully follow the path You have prepared for me.

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

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 1:20—(NIV)
As you prepare for the holiday season, embrace God’s promises and immerse yourself in His Word. By studying Scripture and nurturing your faith, you’ll recognize His promises are always yes. God will always follow through.
Lord, thank You for hearing and answering my prayers. Amen.

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.

Value Your Time

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.—James 4:14 (NIV)
When you turn the clocks back today, celebrate your extra hour and enjoy this beautiful time of year. Linger a little longer sleeping in, spend an hour in prayer, enjoy the outdoors—whatever your pleasure—live fully and in the moment. Be mindful of your blessings, and thank God for this extra gift of more time.
Heavenly Father, help me fully experience the wonder of Your presence today and every day.

Make Each Day Count

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.—Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
Life is short. Every moment is a gift, an opportunity to grow in kindness, faith, wisdom and in God’s love. Reflect on where you are spending your time and energy. Does it feel right, or are there some adjustments you would like to make that would better serve you?
Gracious God, help me grow and develop so that I can fulfill my purpose.

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.
