Follow the Lord

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.—Proverbs 3:6 (ESV)
When you surrender your will to God’s will, you discover that He is always with you, ready to uplift and inspire you to successfully travel through life’s rough patches. Rely on your faith and new pathways will open; your setbacks will become temporary.
Dear Lord, I fully trust You to lead me on life’s journey. I am open and ready for Your wisdom and guidance.

Take a Break

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.—Mark 6:31 (NIV)
When you need a break, quiet your mind, rest—and pray. God offers you peace and energy. He can restore your spirit and improve your outlook. He can give you the tools to work through whatever difficulty you are facing.
Lord, when I pray with You, I have renewed strength to face what once seemed overwhelming.

In the Darkness

The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me… but you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit. When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you.—Jonah 2:5–7 (NIV)
Imagine Jonah, in the darkness, inside the belly of the great fish, with seemingly no way to escape. His future looked hopeless, and yet God delivered Him. When you feel enveloped by the darkness, focus on His promises. He is the Light.
Almighty Lord, like Jonah, I know You will always bring me up from the pit. I know You won’t forget me.

Your Help Comes from the Lord

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.—Psalm 121:1–4 (NIV)
God keeps you safe. As your Eternal Parent, He wants to comfort you and let you know that you are loved and cared for. Repeat the above verse to yourself and remember: The Maker of heaven and earth will always protect you.
All-powerful God, when I am afraid, guide me to lift my eyes to the mountains. My help comes from You.

Walk in Freedom

I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.—Psalm 119:45 (NLT)
As this verse states, the key to freedom lies in embracing and honoring God’s commands. When you hold yourself close to His wisdom and instructions, the pieces of your life fall into place and you experience true freedom.
Lord, You are the key to my freedom. Your rules protect me and enable me to feel the power and peace of aligning my life with Your instructions.

Think Good Thoughts

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.—Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
This verse emphasizes the importance of being optimistic and filling your mind with good thoughts. Replace worries, resentment or jealous thinking with “whatever is pure, lovely and admirable.” Pray for God to help you focus on inspired ideas, then ask for the ambition to put them into action.
Dear God, fill my mind with Your limitless potential!

The Grateful One

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?”—Luke 17:15–17 (NIV)
Who hasn’t read the above verse and thought, “Why did only one person thank Him for healing such a disfiguring disease?” Yet, when we take a moment and recognize the many blessings that we have forgotten to praise God for, the mistake of the nine lepers becomes more understandable. Today, thank God for your faith and the new life His Word provides.
Heavenly Father, my heart overflows with thanksgiving for Your endless forgiveness and the countless blessings You have showered on my life.

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.—Isaiah 43:1 (ESV)

God’s Work in Progress

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
God has planned your life down to the last detail. Even when you doubt His path or become distracted, you can trust that His wisdom and guidance will lead you to a life of purpose. Your experiences and everything that you are going through right now are designed to help transform you into the very best you can be.
Lord, the next time I feel that my life is not on track, remind me that I am a work in progress. I know that You have an amazing plan for me.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (NIV)

It Is Not About You

Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”—John 6:28–29 (ESV)
This verse is a reminder that your life’s work is not about what you want to accomplish. The true goal of your life is about God and centering your thoughts, focus and actions on serving Him.
Lord, what can I do for You today?

God’s Crooked Lines

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.—Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)
There is a saying that “God writes straight with crooked lines.” His plan is not always predictable. Unexpected twists and turns can throw you off balance unless you are rooted in faith and ready to take on new experiences.
My Loving God, I am learning to appreciate Your unexpected directions, which lead me to grow in ways I never imagined.
