Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.—Psalm 37:7 (NIV)

God’s Watchful Care

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.—Genesis 28:15 (NIV)
Reflect on this verse and the times in your life when you have been conscious of God’s watchful care. Recall when you were worried, and He kept you safe from harm. Then recite this line from an old hymn, Lead, Kindly Light: “So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on.”
Father in Heaven, thank You for promising to protect me and guide me through life’s ups and downs.

Take a Break

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.

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)

I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.—Psalm 119:45 (NLT)

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.
