Release Your Fear of Failure

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.—2 Corinthians 4:16–17 (NIV)  
Norman Vincent Peale said, “Fear can infect us early in life until eventually it cuts a deep groove of apprehension in all our thinking. To counteract it, let faith, hope and courage enter your thinking. Fear is strong, but faith is stronger yet.” God wants you to let go of your desire to be perfect. Instead, He desires that you learn from your mistakes and work toward being better every day. Striving for perfection will not make you great, but not giving up—will!  
Lord, help me release my fear of failure and go boldly forward.

Who Do You Say He Is?

Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”—Luke 9:18 (NIV)
Preacher and author Frederick Buechner wrote, “A Christian is one who points at Christ and says, ‘I can’t prove a thing, but there’s something about His eyes and His voice. There’s something about the way He carries His head, His hands, the way He carries His cross—the way He carries me.’” Today, put your total trust in Him.
Dear Jesus, I know that You are the Christ!

Your God Knows Your Future

Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”—James 4:15 (NIV)
James reminds us that though we might believe we know the future, we are not in control. Planning is necessary, but we run into trouble when we begin to think that we have the power to direct the events of the days ahead.
Lord, I know You have great plans for me. Help me surrender my desire to control things. Help me trust You.

The Light of My Life

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”—John 8:12 (NIV)
Just as the moon illuminates the night sky by reflecting the sun’s light, you too can light up the darkness by reflecting God’s will. When you become a chariot of His divine energy, you radiate His glorious light into the world.
Lord, fill me with Your light so I may shine away the darkness in another’s life.

Your Desired Haven

He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.—Psalm 107:29–30 (NIV)
Scripture teaches us the power of being patient and calm. Things happen in life that are beyond your control, yet you can react knowing that all is well because of your strong faith. Always. He will guide you to your desired haven.
Lord, there is freedom in knowing that despite obstacles, I can calmly move forward because You are beside me.

Seek His Approval

For they loved human praise more than praise from God.—John 12:43 (NIV)
Are you using your gifts to serve others? It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting praise from others—and not focusing on the One who truly matters. Search your heart and align your thoughts and actions with His will and your gifts.
Dear Lord, I want to live my life in a way that serves others and makes You proud.

The Strength in Vulnerability

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.—2 Corinthians 6:11 (NIV)
Open your heart wide and share your secrets with God. Search the dark places of your heart and tell Him something you have never told anyone. Be clear and honest. Lay your burdens at His feet and feel His protective presence allowing you to be your true self.
Dear Lord, thank You for being with me and helping me see the strength in my vulnerability.

Get Ready for Your New Thing

Are you looking for a spark to bring a little magic into your life?

Today, ask God to help you experience something new!
Lord, You have created so many amazing things. Wow me today with something I’ve never experienced.

The Message in Every Moment

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!—Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)
Sometimes it can feel as if you are rushing through life. When you hurry, you miss out on the joy of the moment, and everything can feel out of sync. God never intended for you to strain and stress through life. You are here to nurture your faith, and that means taking on the tasks you need to do in time with the rhythm of your soul.
Almighty Father, help me slow down and fully experience the message and meaning in every moment.

Discerning the Truth

Watch out that no one deceives you.—Mark 13:5 (NIV)
Sometimes people twist the truth or bend Scripture to mean something that doesn’t feel quite right in your heart. When this happens, quiet your thoughts and feel Jesus’ presence. Draw close to Him and rely on His wisdom and guidance to lead you to the true meaning. Center your mind and your heart on Him.
Heavenly Father, I turn to You to help strengthen my discernment. Guide me on the right path.

Uniquely Blessed

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.—Matthe w 5:48 (NIV)
You are perfect, exactly as you are right now. You don’t need to accomplish anything or prove your worth. You are not being judged and graded by God. You have been blessed with unique gifts and talents and are now learning life lessons.
Lord, when I am hard on myself—judging myself against an ideal version—guide me back to this beautiful truth. I am right where I am supposed to be.
