Improve Your Mood

Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.—Hebrews 12:15 (KJV)
In Isaiah, when Hezekiah was consumed with bitterness, he called out to God and his bitterness was exchanged for wholeness. When you are battling a bad mood, ask the Lord to give you the strength to let go of your hostility. Pray for Him to make you whole.
Dear God, when I am overcome with bitterness, fill me with the wholeness of Your grace.

Give Your Worries to God

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?—Matthew 6:25 (NIV)
Is the cloak of fear affecting your faith? Do you worry about big things and little things, what-ifs and what has already happened? In the above verse, Jesus tells us not to worry. Instead, put all your trust in Him.
Dear God, I give You my worry list so that You may give me Your peace.

Less Judging, More Loving

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.—Proverbs 3:3 (NIV)

Love Prospers When You Forgive

Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.—Proverbs 17:9 (NLT)
Sometimes it is difficult to forgive. When this happens, turn to God, and ask Him to help you release the pain and anger that you are holding on to, and to increase your love. His perfect love can help you.
All-forgiving God, You love me even when I don’t deserve it. Help me to extend that perfect love to others.
