Be Good to Yourself

Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come..—1 Corinthians 10:11 (ESV)
As another year winds down it’s not unusual to reflect on your life. Be kind to yourself and recognize you are a work in progress. You are growing in faith. Look ahead with hope. God has great plans for you!
Heavenly Father, help me to truly grasp the divine gift of Your presence in my life. You are the Source of all hope.

Pray for Peace

The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.—Isaiah 32:17 (NIV)
Do you pray for world peace? Sometimes we are so caught up in our own personal needs that we forget to put the power of prayer behind something as large as peace on earth. Today, focus your thoughts on the people of the world and ask God to grant us the humility and responsibility to care for those in need so that the world may be a safe home for everyone.
Prince of Peace, help us make the world a better place where hunger and poverty are abolished and justice and equality reign.

Receive His Love

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.—John 3:16 (NIV)
Sometimes we allow people, things or deeds to become more important than God. When this happens, ask for His forgiveness. Take a moment and invite Jesus into your heart. Reach and receive His unconditional love.
Lord, thank You for the strength to turn away from all things that block me from pursuing my relationship with You.

The Cloud of His Presence

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.—Acts 1:9 (NIV)
The Bible often uses clouds to represent divine presence. Pause to reflect on God’s use of clouds to remind us of His presence and feel the grace of His comfort, especially when it is dark and overcast.
Heavenly Father, You are here with me—divinely guiding me on both clear and dark days.

Be the Calm Voice

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.—2 Peter 3:9 (NIV)

Today, take a moment and align Your will with God’s. Ask Him to help you be more like Him—to be a peacemaker unifying others, to be compassionate and understanding. The next time you face criticism, look to the peaceful response—the one that reflects God’s grace.

Heavenly Father, I humble myself before You and am ready to be the calming voice during life’s storms.

Thankful for His Love

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.—Colossians 3:15 (NIV)
Gratitude is a way of life, a positive approach to live every day that invites peace and joy. When you give thanks to God the Father, through Him you recognize His blessings and experience a life rooted in love. His Word dwells richly in you.
Lord, today as we celebrate Thanksgiving, thank You for my family, my loved ones and most of all for the blessing of Your abundant love.

Trust Him with Your Worries

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.—Matthew 6:34 (NIV)
Are you in the habit of worrying? Do you ponder worst-case scenarios even when things are going well? Reflect on how much time you are wasting on worry and how wonderful it would feel to let go of your fears. God’s Word assures us that He is in control. Ask Him for help in turning the situation over to Him. Lean on Him in times of stress. He is all-powerful and has everything under control.
Lord, I want to be worry-free. Help me to trust You with my future.

Offer God’s Grace

I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.—2 Corinthians 10:2 (NIV)
In the above verse, when the Apostle Paul heard that he was being judged, he refused to be compared to others. God’s grace saves you from needing to feel superior by judging and dismissing others’ life choices. The next time you feel tempted to judge someone, extend God’s grace instead.
Dear God, help me to remember that it’s not my role to measure others. Guide me to be understanding and accepting, compassionate and kind.

From Trial to Triumph

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
Reflect on a moment in your life when trials became triumphs. It’s natural to feel upset or possibly forgotten by God when tragedy strikes. Instead of turning away from Him, turn toward Him. Trust that He has a purpose and plan.
Lord, I trust You wholeheartedly in times of abundance and in times of sorrow. I know Your plan is at work

Be the Voice of Peace

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.—Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)
Do you respond to anger with gentleness? The next time you face conflict, ask for God’s strength to stay calm—and to see the situation from all perspectives. Be the person who brings peace and kindness to demanding situations.
Heavenly Father, when faced with bitterness, help me to be the voice of peace.

Your Work, His Plan

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.—1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
The purpose of prayer is to ask God to change your thoughts and heart to align with His plan. Ask for His help to have an ongoing fellowship to learn how you can serve Him. Know that nothing done for Him is ever wasted.
Lord, I will work for You! Help me to be strong and work enthusiastically, aligning my thoughts with Your plan.

Fully Known

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.—1 Corinthians 13:12 (NIV)
Have you ever thought about the difference between doubt and unbelief? Unbelief is denying or rejecting belief. But doubt is being open to possibility and understanding that God doesn’t always allow us to see things fully, as the above verse beautifully describes. Are there areas where you are struggling to believe His Word? Keep asking for His help. In moments and seasons of doubt or unbelief, trust Him and know that one day you will know all things fully.
Heavenly Father, thank You for being patient with me and understanding my doubt and unbelief—even when I don’t.
