The Power of Humility

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.—Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)
God gives grace to the humble. Ask Him to help you release whatever prideful qualities are holding you back: seeking attention from others, judging friends and loved ones and feeling superior to them or feeling upset when you aren’t recognized for an accomplishment.
Lord, help me understand what it truly means to lead a humble life. How You see me is all that matters.

Made for Another World

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”—John 4:13–14 (NIV)
Author C.S. Lewis wrote, “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” We are all spiritual beings with a desire from within for something greater. Reaching out to God and developing a relationship with Him fills your day, and  your life, with meaning.  
Heavenly Father, earthly blessings are wonderful, but only Your love can truly satisfy me.

A New Path

As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord.—Exodus 14:10 (NIV)
When the Israelites were trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army, they cried out to the Lord and feared they had made a terrible mistake by leaving Egypt. Soon they discovered the blessing of going forward despite all doubts. When you feel ensnared in a situation, press forward and trust that God will make a way.
Lord, when You call me to do something bigger than I feel I can handle, help me remember that You are working through me.

Practice Daily Gratitude

Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.—Psalm 103:2 (NLT)
Developing a daily habit of recognizing things you are thankful for is vital for your spiritual health. When you appreciate the good things, you feel hopeful about the future. Even in tough times, when challenges seem overwhelming—if you look closely, you can find God’s blessings.
Lord, I am content with what I have and trust You to take care of the future.

Rely on God’s Help

“When I want to do good, I don’t; and when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway.”—Romans 7:19 (TLB)
Is there an inner battle that you are carrying alone? Turn to God to help you overcome your problem. He knows your personal struggles. His grace will help strengthen your confidence and give you hope and faith to help you carry on.
Lord of Mercy, forgive me for trying to handle everything on my own. I am ready for Your help.

Reach Out to Jesus

But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, because they all saw him and were terrified.—Mark 6:49–50 (NIV)
When Peter walked on the water, fear caused him to sink. How is fear affecting your faith? Reflect on what you are afraid of. If doubt is pulling you into the depths of despair, cry out to the Lord. He will always lift you up.
Lord, You are the Great “I am,” and I have nothing to fear!

Chasing the Wind

All of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.—Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NIV)
The Bible tells us that trying to find happiness on our own is a tiresome task—meaningless and useless— like chasing the wind. Instead of striving to pursue our own desires, we can find true contentment and joy by looking to God. Only His peace can truly satisfy.
Lord, Maker of the wind, I seek Your presence with all my heart.

Strength Under Pressure

They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison.—Jeremiah 37:15 (NIV)
The prophet Jeremiah was punished and imprisoned for sharing God’s message. Yet, he was faithful and obedient, following God’s instructions and completing his life’s mission. To those around him, he was most likely judged as a failure. Reflect on how man often measures success using different standards than God’s.
Almighty God, give me strength when I am under pressure so that I can faithfully serve You.

Grow a Forgiving Heart

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.—Psalm 86:5 (NIV)
Do you follow Jesus’ example and strive to forgive others and release grudges you have against those who have harmed you? By opening your heart to forgiveness, you heal the hurt that lives inside you, and can draw closer to God, the true source of joy and love.
Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift of forgiveness, which sets me free from the pain of the past and opens up a future that is filled with Your glory.

God’s Wondrous Works

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)
In the above verse, the servant’s eyes are opened to another realm, and he sees God’s mighty army protecting them. As your faith grows, your “spiritual vision” will become more transparent, and you will be able to clearly see God working in your life and the lives of those around you.
Lord, help us to have spiritual eyes so we may see Your wondrous works.

Maker of Miracles

Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.—John 21:25 (NLT)
Life is abundantly blessed with God’s many miracles. This verse helps us to remember that the Bible only captures a small portion of the countless positive things Jesus did. Consider amazing moments you’ve experienced, from breathtaking sunrises to the first breath of a newborn. When you open your heart to His miracles, you will witness amazing glimpses of His glory.
Maker of Miracles, Your power is unlimited. You make the impossible possible.

Celebrate Freedom

I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.—Psalm 119:30–32 (NIV)
Today, as we celebrate Independence Day, reflect on the many blessings God has given our nation. Pray for those who have sacrificed and served to protect our freedom; pray for peace among nations and all people.
Lord, make us worthy of Your gift of freedom.
