Dare to Depend on Him

On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.—John 14:20 (NIV)
When you depend on God, you open your heart to miracles. You let go of needing to control everything and recognize that your weakness draws in His strength. Decide to willingly take His hand as He leads you on a magnificent adventure.
Heavenly Father, I receive Your grace and abundance with a thankful heart.

Happy Mother’s Day

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.—John 19:26–27 (NIV)
It is impossible to imagine the excruciating sorrow Jesus’ mother felt watching her son perish on the cross. Among His final words, He instructed John to, “Take care of her.” Today, on Mother’s Day, may God bless and take care of mothers everywhere.
Dear Lord, today I pray for all the mothers in the world. May they feel Your comfort and peace.

Share His Gifts

Mother Teresa is quoted as saying, “God gives us things to share; God doesn’t give us things to hold.” Giving is an expression of our love, humanity and purpose. The best gift we can give ourselves is the joy we receive when helping and giving to others.
Dear God, guide me to give my time, energy and love generously.

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.—Psalm 36:9 (NIV)

Lord, I want to shine for You! May my good works bring You glory.

Worry-Free Todays

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.—Mathew 6:34 (NIV)
If you struggle with worry, the above verse can help. The next time you find yourself preoccupied with something that may or may not happen tomorrow, remind yourself of the words of Jesus. Stay with Him. Stay present.
Dear Lord, You are the peace-giver. Thank You for this moment. Thank You for today.

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)

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.
