Embrace His Love

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.—John 1:12 (NIV)
God wants to remind you of His great love for you, especially when your heart is low and you are feeling down. Rest in the knowledge that on good days and bad days, in successful times and times of failure, one thing remains the same: You are a redeemed Child of God.
Gracious God, I know You love me, and I love You.

When you choose to be led by God, you are choosing to be blessed by Him. By focusing on prayer and developing a relationship with God, you are on the path of walking in His truth.

Palm Sunday: Hosanna! Blessed Is He

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.—Zechariah 9:9 (NIV)
Today, Palm Sunday, is the first day of Holy Week. As Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the crowds cheered and waved palm branches to symbolize His victory. Reflect on Jesus’ passion and thank God for sending His son to walk on earth among us.
Dear Lord, may I always be mindful of the sacrifice You made for me.

Strength for the Day

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
God wants you to have peace even when peace seems impossibly far away. When you need courage or help with a problem, turn to Him. He will give you the strength to face the day ahead. He will comfort you with His peace.
Lord, when I need a boost of courage, fill me with Your power. Bless me with peace of mind and heart.

God Loves the Details

Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.—Exodus 25:9 (NIV)
God wants you to trust Him with your plans and dreams and invite Him into the details. Don’t hold back from sharing even the smallest things. Put your prayers to work, and open up about everything that is on your mind.

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.

Unfinished Work

Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.—2 Corinthians 8:11 (NIV)

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.

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.
