Share What God Has Done

Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”—John 11:41–42 (NIV)
Jesus publicly prayed to benefit those around Him and foster their faith. He wanted others to witness Lazarus coming back to life, proof of God’s sovereign power. He wanted to prove, without a doubt, that God hears and answers prayers. Do you share your experience of answered prayers with others?
Heavenly Father, may the answered prayers of believers reach those who need a boost of faith.

Be Grateful for Hard Times

With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord: “He is good; his love toward Israel endures forever.” And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.—Ezra 3:11 (NIV)
Charles Spurgeon said, “Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.” This is the upside to adversity. Not only do challenges reveal our character—they help us strengthen it. Only when you are navigating a difficult situation do you realize how strong and resilient you truly are.
Lord, tough times have been a great teacher to me. I am grateful that Your strength is my light leading me forward.

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.

Unpredictable Beauty

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life.—Psalm 138:7 (NIV)
Life is an exciting adventure. As much as we want to believe that we can know what tomorrow, or even next month, will bring, the truth is there is no guarantee that what we plan will happen. The only thing we can truly be sure of is that God watches over us, helping us through life’s ups and downs. He guides us to see the beauty in the present.
Dear Lord, Your promise is unchangeable. Because of You, I can feel safe on this glorious, unpredictable journey.

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.
