A Change of Heart

No, I tell you, but unless you change your hearts and lives, you will die just as they did.—Luke 13:3 (CEB)
The ashes of Ash Wednesday are a symbol of repentance. Today, the first day of Lent, is a time to search your heart and surrender any habits, feelings, thoughts and actions that need to be transformed for you to be closer to God. Pray for a change of heart.
Loving Father, I long to live my life so that it pleases You.

The Master Key to Success

Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”—2 Chronicles 1:10 (NIV)

A Time to Be Quiet

The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.—Habakkuk 2:20 (NIV)
Sometimes, it can be incredibly meaningful to stop praying and simply rest in God’s presence. Prayers don’t always need to be spoken. Instead, be sure to make time to sit quietly with Him. No words are necessary.
Lord, in the words of Ecclesiastes 3:7, there is a time to be quiet and a time to speak.

Don’t Withhold Kindness

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.—Proverbs 3:27 (NIV)
This verse asks you to reflect on the relationships in your life. Are you withholding a kind word or gesture from someone who deserves it? If someone comes to mind, ask God to help you correct the situation.

For Those Who Wait

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.—Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Is there a persistent prayer in your life that God doesn’t seem to be answering? When you struggle with the fear that God isn’t hearing you and is letting you down, share your frustrations with Him. Let Him know you are willing to accept His answer.
Dear Lord, grant me the courage to change my expectations and wants if that is Your plan. Help me to accept situations I wish were different.
