Be a Steward of God’s Grace

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.—1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
What kind gestures can you extend to help others? Perhaps you know just the right words to comfort someone in need. Or maybe it’s volunteering at a local community center or shelter. What acts of thoughtfulness and generosity can you spread in God’s name?
Lord, I know You have given me gifts to share. Guide me to places where I can be a blessing to others.

The Spirit of God Is Within You

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways.”—Isaiah 55:8–9 (NIV)
It’s not easy feeling thankful when you are upset and struggling emotionally. But what you feel is not who you are. No matter what you face, one thing remains the same—God. He is with you through life’s problems, big and small. Thank Him for being there, and trust Him to see you through.
Dear God, thank You for a new day. Today, right at this moment, my focus is on being with You.

Empty Yourself for God

Rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.—Philippians 2:7 (NIV)
You become spiritually fulfilled when you empty yourself for God. Let go of your personal accomplishments and ego; let go of selfish desires and self-centered thinking. Lose yourself, completely—and let your spirit be filled.
Dear Lord, I come to You as an empty vessel. Fill me with Your grace and mercy.

Search Your Heart

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness so that we can, with reverence, serve you.—Psalm 130:3–4 (NIV)
In the above verse, as David waits for God to answer his prayer, he searches his heart and confesses anything that might be hindering his relationship with God. Even when you aren’t waiting on the Lord, now is the perfect time to surrender your will and ask God to align your desires with His plans.
Merciful God, forgive me of my wrongdoings, my selfish requests, so that I can serve You with reverence.

The Exhausted Prophet

Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”—1 Kings 19:5 (NIV)
Elijah had dedicated His life to serving God, and yet he became so exhausted he was ready to give up. In the above verse, the Lord let Elijah sleep peacefully and sent an angel to feed him. After rest and food, Elijah felt prepared to face his future and hear God’s still, small voice. If you are feeling like Elijah, burned out from your life’s work, take a moment and ask God to minister to you.
Lord, when I am struggling, guide me to find peace and rest in Your presence.

In Your Prayers

What If?

What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?—Genesis 18:24 (NIV)
When God revealed His plans to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham asked “what if” questions until God answered. When you aren’t sure of your path, pray in the form of questions. Ask God: “What next?”
