Answer God’s Call

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”—Judges 6:12 (NIV)
In the above Scripture, when the angel of the Lord finds Gideon afraid, he tells him, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” When you doubt your abilities, boost your confidence through worship. Turn to God and His promises instead of focusing on your circumstances.
Heavenly Father, I am ready and able to answer Your call today.

A Prayer for Clarity

He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land—the Lord is his name.—Amos 5:8 (NIV)
When you are feeling stressed, take a few minutes and look up at the God of order. If He can keep the heavens untangled, He can help you navigate your busy day. Share your frustrations and worries with Him.
Great Creator, just as You turn midnight into dawn, bring light and clarity to my day.

Little Things Make a Big Difference

Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.—Matthew 13:32 (NIV)
The Bible stresses the importance of little things and normal people—a mustard seed, a lost coin, a diminutive tax collector called Zacchaeus, and a shepherd boy named David. One of the shortest verses, “God is love” (1 John 4:8) is one of the most powerful in the Bible. When you are feeling small or unappreciated, remember this verse.
Lord, I know Your greatest works often begin as small seeds.

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!

Let the Lord Renew Your Mind

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)
When you are overwhelmed, instead of asking God to change the situation, try asking Him to transform your perspective. Ask Him to help you see life differently and embrace the challenges at hand with a new vision.
Lord, renew my mind. I want to see Your perfect will at work.

Everything God Gives You

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!—Isaiah 30:18 (NIV)
Erma Bombeck said, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’” Every gift you share with the world, every generous act and surrender you make will open your heart wider and enable you to receive more of God’s spiritual gifts. A gift to God has infinite value. It delights Him.
Lord, I want to live a life free of regret, doing everything I can to use my talents to make a difference.

Feel God’s Joy

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.—Philippians 4:4, 6 (NLT)
It’s been said that when you worry, you are lacking faith that God has your best interests at hand. Take the above verse to heart. When you are fighting the urge to worry, pray instead.
Heavenly Father, help me to rejoice in the moment. Help me feel Your joy.

Perfect in His Love

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.—Psalm 37:37 (KJV)
Have you been nudged to do something but are concerned that your effort won’t turn out to be perfect? Do you look for perfection in your job, your home, your children, your actions? While God’s love is perfect, He does not expect you to live flawlessly. So follow our Heavenly Father’s example and strive to emulate His perfect love instead.
Loving Father, help me to be patient and kind, to lift someone’s burdens and make their lives better.

In His Truth

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.—Psalm 25:5 (NIV)
The Holy Spirit can help you shed light on things you may not understand. Humbly look up to Jesus, and His Spirit will teach you. He will guide you through life’s mysteries and help you embrace the unknown.
Lord, thank You for Your guidance, for revealing Your truth and teaching me everything I need to know.

Be Present-Minded

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 3:13–14 (NIV)
Do you live in the present? God does not want you to spend your energy focusing on the past. He invites you to embrace the gift of the present moment. Ask Him to be part of your day, to guide you where you should go, to press ahead and live your best life.
Lord, what do You want me to do right now?

Waiting with Hope

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.—Romans 8:25 (NIV)
Do you wait hopefully? The pauses in life—the waiting periods—can be grueling and difficult. But you can learn to wait with hope, to wait with your faith firmly rooted in God’s promises. By developing a strong prayer life, you begin to recognize that life’s low points serve an important purpose: The waiting strengthens your relationship with God.
God of hope, help me to be patient. Stretch my faith as I wait.

God’s Gentle Whisper

Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.—1 Kings 18:37 (NIV)
When Elijah was depressed and afraid, ready to give up, God’s gentle whisper encouraged him to keep going. “What are you doing here, Elijah?” God asked. Sometimes God gives us His wisdom by asking the right question, by leading us to find the answer we need.
One and only God, in Your presence I find wisdom. I hear Your whispers.
