Is That You, God?

Gideon replied, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign that it is really you talking to me.”—Judges 6:17 (NIV)
At one time or another, almost everyone asks God for a sign or a message of reassurance. To hear God’s voice, continue to pray and read His word. Scripture speaks to your heart and validates that He is always with you.
Heavenly Father, I know that it’s really You talking to me.

Receive His Peace

Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.—Job 22:21 (NIV)
When you think too much and try to make sense of things that are incomprehensible, reflect on this verse. God’s peace is always available to you. Instead of longing for your own answer, ask Him to shine His light on the situation.
Lord, I am here, ready to receive Your peace.

What It Means to Ask

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.—Matthew 7:7 (NIV)
This verse is often misunderstood to mean that whatever you ask for in prayer, God will deliver. The true meaning is that when you surrender your will for God’s, your prayers will be fulfilled in His chosen way. Trust that God always gives what you need, and the door will be opened for you.
Gracious Father, help me trust that where You guide, You provide. I am ready to put Your understanding over my wants and needs.

A New Start, A New Heart

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.—Ezekiel 36:26 (NIV)

Lord, with You by my side, every day is a fresh start, a new opportunity to love and grow.

Turn Resentment into Prayer

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.—James 5:16 (NIV)
The more we turn to God with our sins and accept His forgiveness, the more accepting we are of forgiving others who have wronged us. Is there a person who you feel anger towards? Lift them in prayer and ask God to help you forgive.

The Value of Your Possessions

Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.—Ecclesiastes 5:19 (NIV)
It’s been said that a person’s spirituality is affected by how they feel about their possessions. When you view your belongings as gifts from God, and share what you have with others, you develop a deeper relationship with Him.

A White Stone with a New Name

In this verse, victorious believers are promised a white stone with a new name. Many interpret this Scripture to mean that Jesus knows you and all the trials that you have endured. One day, He will give you a new name that represents your true spirit and faithfulness.
