Spring Clean Your Spirit

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.—Psalm 51:7 (NIV)
Take a moment and reflect on your thoughts and emotions. Go through your life and see what is getting in the way of your relationship with God. Ask Him for guidance as you dig deep into feelings you are ready to release.

You Will Not Fall

As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.—Romans 9:33 (NIV)
If you seek God through your own works you will stumble, but if you faithfully rely on Him, you will experience righteousness and salvation. God offers you His grace and His Word. Trust in Jesus and you will not fall.
Our Heavenly Father, You have my heart. Through faith and humble reliance upon You I will not stumble.

His Peace in Your Heart

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.—I Peter 4:7 (NIV)
When you are angry, instead of harboring resentment and rehashing what happened, pray. Ask God to calm your feelings and soothe your heart with His perfect peace. Lay your frustrations at His feet.
My Heavenly Father, may Your goodness and serenity live in my heart.

Wait in Faith

Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.—Psalm 37:7 (NIV)
Sometimes when our prayers seem to go unanswered, we get frustrated—or worse, accuse God of not caring. In times of despair and doubt, pray more. Ask God to help you control your impatience with Him. Believe that He is working on your behalf for the best outcome.
Heavenly Father, help me to wait in faith, knowing that You are in control of every circumstance.

The Joy of God’s Caring Hand

And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.—Nehemiah 12:43 (NIV)
How many gifts of grace have you acknowledged today? A key to being joyful is to stay alert and look for God’s caring hand. His love is certain and constant. Even in challenging times when you are hurting, you can trust that joy is right around the corner.
Lord, You have given me great joy!

Listen for God’s Voice

So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.—1 Samuel 3:9 (NIV)
Just as God spoke to Samuel, God speaks to us. Make time to listen. Respond to His callings, His nudges and guidance. Sit down and meditate on His Word. Pray and have faith that He can and will speak to you.
Lord God, I pray that I hear Your voice today. In the words of Eli, “Your servant is listening.”

The Role of Failure

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.—Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)
God will never desert you. When you are feeling weak and discouraged, rise up and see that there is a purpose to your setbacks. Pray and know that when your faith is strong, you are able to give yourself to God, to trust His will and to follow where He leads.
Dear Lord, when I am discouraged, instead of focusing on myself, I need to lift my gaze and look to You to lead me forward.

Absolute Faith

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek.—Psalm 27:8 (NIV)
The Bible tells many stories of men who displayed incredible trust. Men like Abraham, trudging up the mountain to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac; Moses, filled with doubts, yet obeying God’s call to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. They had fears, yet remained steadfast in their faith in God.
Lord, I trust You completely. I seek Your face!

Grow in Grace

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
Spring is a season of growth. The budding flowers are beautiful proof of nature’s resilience. Each bloom is a reminder that life is filled with transition. If you are experiencing a challenging time, trust that it is temporary and that every moment in your life serves a purpose in God’s plan—an opportunity for growth.
Heavenly Father, help me remember that hard times help me grow in grace.

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.

The Promise of Easter

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
Rejoice! Christ the Lord has risen today! The actions of His enemies actually fulfilled His mission. Jesus sacrificed His life so that our sins will be forgiven, and we will experience everlasting life. As Madeleine L’Engle said, “Easter is always the answer to ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!’”
Lord, because of You, I know the power and glory of Your great love!
