Lead Me to the Rock

From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.—Psalm 61:2 (NIV)
In the above verse, David was alone and far from home when he cried out for help. “My heart is overwhelmed,” he told the Lord. When you are distressed, pray for God, the Rock of Salvation, to bring you comfort and stability.
Lord, when my heart grows faint, lead me to a Rock that is higher than I.

Poor and Needy

Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.—Psalm 86:1 (NIV)
David calls himself “poor and needy” a handful of times in the Psalms. When you talk to God, do you openly admit your feelings with the same honesty? What exactly do you need from Jesus? Is it something earthly, or a desire of your heart? Is it simply to feel His presence and know He is your true source of comfort? Reach out and tell Him.
Lord, I am poor and needy…

Rely on the Lord

But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.—Luke 5:15–16 (ESV)
When life becomes overwhelming, remember Jesus’ example. Step back away from others, go to a quiet place and pray. He is the Savior. He can instill the strength and power you need to carry on. Lay your burdens at His feet knowing that quiet time and trust enhance your awareness of His presence.
Dear God, sometimes I forget that I don’t need to handle everything on my own. When I am weak, You are strong.

Your Best Defense

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.—Mark 14:38 (NKJV)
Jesus taught that your best defense against temptation is prayer. When you keep His Word close, you are better prepared to overcome any situation that tests your spirit. Ask Jesus for the wisdom to walk away when you need to.
Lord, You have prepared the perfect way for me to ward off temptation. Fill me with Your strength.

Walk in the Light

Walk in the light, as he is in the light…—1 John 1:7 (ESV)
Gratitude brings light to your spirit! When you focus on your blessings and praise God for the many great experiences, people and gifts He has given you, your entire perspective changes. Train yourself to fight the dark feelings of worry and want with “light” feelings of gratitude.
God, You are the giver of all good things. Because of You, even in my darkest hour I know that my life will soon be better.

Go the Right Way

If you go the wrong way—to the right or to the left—you will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the right way. You should go this way.”—Isaiah 30:21 (NCV)
Jesus provides guidance on the best pathway for your life. When you are headed in the wrong direction, He can guide you back to the right path. Make it part of your prayer practice to check in with Him and ask for reassurance that you are on track.
Lord, guide me on this journey of life!

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)
Sometimes, out of nowhere, emotions can overcome you and leave you confused and upset. When this happens, turn to God. Ask Him to shed His light on whatever is troubling your heart. Allow His presence to fill you with hope.

God Loves the Details

Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.—Exodus 25:9 (NIV)

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.
