A Future Filled with Hope

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”—Matthew 14:27 (NIV)

Almighty God, I know You will guide me through the tough times. Help me to cast aside my doubts and face the future with hope.

The Greatest Position

Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.—Matthew 18:4 (NIV)
Max Lucado said, “Which would you prefer? To be king of the mountain for a day? Or to be a child of God for eternity?” When you depend on Jesus and trust Him with all your needs, He will fill you with reassurance and hope. Take in this truth: You are His child, in this world and beyond.
Lord, I know everything will be okay because You love me and will never leave me.

Ask Yourself

Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”—Mark 4:40 (NLT)

Feed Your Spirit

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”—John 6:35 (NIV)
The best spiritual self-care practice is devoting time to your faith journey. In the same way that you need daily nourishment to feed your body, you must spend time with Jesus to keep your spirit healthy and strong. When Jesus says, “I am the Bread of Life,” He is telling you that He can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul.
Lord, You are the manna that sustains me in the desert of my daily life.

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.

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.
