Open My Eyes

And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.—2 Kings 6:17 (NIV)
God is a better decision maker than you are. When you need help with a situation, ask God to help you see what is happening and to guide you in the right direction. Trust that He can transform your confusion into clarity, your fear into opportunity.
Lord, when I don’t know what to do, open my eyes so that I may see.

God Makes a Way

And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.—Colossians 4:3 (NIV)
Think of God opening the way through a problem in your life. Christian preacher, educator and philanthropist George Müller said, “We must pray patiently . . . until we obtain an answer.” Your prayers can move mountains and make the impossible possible. Pray patiently with steadfast faith.
Almighty God, I put all my trust in You.

God Works for the Good

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.—Romans 8:28 (NIV)
Your quality of life is not based on what happens to you, but on how you respond. When tragedy befalls, do you become bitter, or do you become better? Do you look with gratitude at the blessings you still have, or become fixated on what could have or should have happened? Your spiritual vision is what will determine your reaction and your future.
Lord, when I struggle with dark thoughts, help me to remember that You work for the good in all things.

Never Too Late

Live a Victorious Life

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here.—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
Change can be difficult, but Jesus offers the opportunity for an entirely new way of thinking. The best part is that when you invite Him to take over, you don’t have to change yourself. He transforms you and guides you to begin with a new perspective and a trusting heart.
