In God’s Care

My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you.—Proverbs 3:11 (NLT)
Sometimes God guides you through your thoughts and promptings—a gentle knowing that leads you forward. When this happens, take notice and thank Him. Trust that He will work out all things for the good in your life.
Mighty Counselor, thank You for patiently leading me.

Live with Constant Hope

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.—Psalm 39:7 (NLT)
Norman Vincent Peale said, “The key to surviving any challenge or crisis is hope. Hope that Jesus loves you. Hope that He is, right now, working out a solution for you. Hope that the future you place in His hands will be better than the present you hold in your own.”
Lord, as we close one year and begin anew, I turn to You and have faith that Your promises will come true.

Your Pathway to Miracles

He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.—Amos 4:13 (NIV)
Augustine of Hippo is quoted as saying, “Miracles are not contrary to nature but only contrary to what we know about nature.” Do you limit your prayers to earthly thinking? The same Almighty God who created the oceans and wind, hears your prayers. Tell Him your concerns; believe in His infinite power and wondrous abilities to miraculously answer your needs.
Great Creator, I believe that nothing is impossible because of You.

Wise of Heart

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.—Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
As the end of the year draws near, reflect on your faith journey. Search your heart for anything that is in the way of your relationship with God. Ask for His forgiveness for what you need to make right with Him. Take a deep breath and let the past go.
Dear Lord, help me make each day count as I focus on the days ahead.

Everything You Need

The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.—John 6:63 (NLT)

Decide in Your Heart

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
Everyone has probably heard the phrase, “It’s the thought that counts.” This time of year, be mindful of its sentiment and intentionally approach others with joyful attitudes—and actions. Something as simple as letting someone get in line in front of you at the store or phoning a friend can spread holiday cheer.
Dear God, help me to be thoughtful and encouraging so that I bring joy to others. The more I give, the more blessed I feel.
