Right Where You Need to Be

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.—Proverbs 1:5 (ESV)
It is okay to feel lost or confused, to not know what you want or how to make things better. When you pray to God and admit that you are unsure of the best course of action, you open the door to His wisdom. The next time you feel foolish or confused because you don’t know what to do, ask for God’s help and be patient for His answer.
Heavenly Father, You are my trusted Counselor. Thank You for guiding me and helping me learn that I am always exactly where I am “supposed” to be.

When You Are Afraid

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.—Psalm 34:4 (NIV)
Fear is a lonely emotion. Do you turn inward and cower when you feel threatened? Instead of recoiling against the world, turn to God. See the value in reaching out to others. Be brave and kind.
Mighty God, no matter what I face, I know that nothing is impossible with You at my side.

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

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.—Ephesians 4:32 (ESV)
It’s never too late to forgive someone. If you’d like to let go of a grudge, ask God to help heal the pain and hurt of being wronged. Even if the person is no longer in your life, you can still find peace by letting go of your anger.
Lord, I am ready to forgive. Heal my heart with Your grace.

Respond Selflessly

I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.—Psalm 18:3 (NIV)
How do you react when you are upset by a disappointing outcome? Instead of becoming angry or hurt, turn to Jesus and ask Him for the grace to respond selflessly and to trust Him for guidance.
