Make Your Life Count

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.—John 15:13 (NIV)
Every moment wasted on anxiety, fear, anger or jealousy is a moment lost. When you dedicate your life to the Lord and focus on His many lessons, you develop an inner peace that enables you to help others. Make your life count.
Lord God, I am ready to let go of negative emotions that hold me back so that I can move ahead and see every moment as a glorious gift.

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)
Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.” Ask yourself, “Who am I? Who do I long to be?” It is never too late to change and become the person you want to be. Challenging yourself is the key to growth. Go after the goal that seems daunting.
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.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.—Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV)
Today is the first day of summer. As nature blooms, remind yourself that God is planting new possibilities in your life. He is watering the seeds of your hopes so they will bud into fruition. Even if you doubt change is on the horizon, trust that there is always a new season ahead.

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

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.—Revelation 2:17 (NIV)
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.
Lord, thank You for knowing and loving me.
