Your Advocate and Counselor

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.—John 14:16 (NIV)

Your Hope Is His Word

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.—Psalm 119:114 (NIV)
When you pray, God shelters you from harm. His Word is your hope. Place yourself under His shield, and know that nothing else can fulfill or comfort you as He does.

Manage Your Emotions

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”—Matthew 26:34 (NIV)
Emotions can be tricky, and sometimes our feelings deceive us. In the above verse, despite Peter’s knowledge, he let his emotions get the better of him. He denied Jesus despite pledging his loyalty. Peter’s weakness took control. If your emotions are leading you down the wrong path, pray and ask God to help set you straight.
Dear Lord, when my feelings are ruling my life, help me to turn back to You and Your guidance.

Flawless Faith

In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?—James 2:25 (NIV)
God often uses flawed people for His most miraculous work. Rahab was an outcast, but through her faith she turned her life around and became a hero. Her strong belief in God led her to overcome the circumstances of her past and become a woman of influence.
Lord, when I feel lost or unworthy, let me look to examples like Rahab. Help me shine Your light.

The Sting of Rejection

“The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”—Luke 10:16 (ESV)
Jesus knew that many people would not believe Him. That they would be too blinded by their sins or beliefs to hear His Word as truth. If you ever feel rejected by others, try not to take it to heart. Instead, focus on Jesus.
Dear God, when people reject me, help me to turn the other cheek; to give them grace upon grace, and love them as You love me.

No Regrets

See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.—Isaiah 65:17 (NIV)
The prophet Isaiah shares that all of your wrongdoings—anything that you have worried that God would not accept—will ultimately not be remembered. Whatever regrets you are holding on to, turn them over to God and allow Him to sweep them away with His grace.
Lord, thank You for reminding me that love keeps no records of wrongs. I am ready for a fresh start, free of my former sins. My heart is open and ready to be filled with Your love.

Jesus Is True Joy

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.—Psalm 5:11 (NIV)
Happiness is often thought to be tied to your circumstances, but real joy is having a relationship with Jesus. Your faith will see you through even the most challenging times. In difficult moments, look for the places where you find deep abiding joy.

Remember these things, Jacob, for you, Israel, are my servant. I have made you, you are my servant; Israel, I will not forget you.—Isaiah 44:21 (NIV)
Do you sometimes doubt that God has a good plan for you? Perhaps the winter doldrums have made it difficult to have faith in His unseen hand. If you feel lost, as if God has forgotten about you, remind yourself that He is preparing you for great things. He is always working things out for your good.
Lord, help me to be patient, to believe in Your work behind the scenes. Guide me to do my part in fulfilling Your plan.

Let Your Suffering Refine Your Spirit

God doesn’t want you to hide in suffering. When you are feeling burdened, instead of shouldering the load on your own, turn to God. He wants you to turn your pain over to Him. He promises to give you the strength you need.
