Heal Your Hard Feelings

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.—Psalm 86:5–7 (NIV)
Corrie ten Boom wrote, “Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.” If you are struggling with forgiving someone, pray for God to help heal your hard feelings.
Divine Healer, I am ready to let go of my resentment. Fill me with Your peace.

Behind the Curtain

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain.—Hebrews 6:19 (ESV)

God’s Love Exceeds Expectations

The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”—Ruth 4:14–15 (NIV)
Naomi must have been distressed and upset when her life took a series of devastating turns that she had not anticipated. And yet, the Book of Ruth ends with Naomi filled with joy. Perhaps you are going through a time when your life doesn’t live up to your expectations. Turn to God—and keep the faith.
Heavenly Father, help me feel Your peace and know that Your gift is coming.

Sing a New Song

Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.—Psalm 96:2 (NIV)
Hans Christian Andersen wrote, “Where words fail, music speaks.” Sometimes music can help us feel closer to God, whether it’s classical or praise music, or perhaps a joyful pop song that lifts your spirit when you need it most. If you are looking for a new way to pray, turn on your favorite radio station or playlist and sing along, knowing that your voice is heard by God.
Great Maker of Music, I will sing to You, Lord, a new song!

Fix Yourself First

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.—Matthew 7:2 (NIV)
Before you judge someone, take a moment and reflect on how you respond to your own shortcomings. Do you work on improving yourself by being more accepting, less anxious and more cheerful? Pray for God to help you fix your own faults.
Lord, guide me to place my focus and efforts on improving myself.
