Your Holy Anchor

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.—Hebrews 6:19–20 (NIV)
Jesus is your holy Anchor. When the storms of this world ravage your security and make you feel like you’ve lost all control—hold on to Him. He will not slip or fall in life’s ups and downs. He will keep you from being swept away into a whirlwind of worry and fear.
Lord, when circumstances threaten my livelihood, secure me. Fill my soul with hope.

Swept Away Like a Cloud

“I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”—Isaiah 44:22 (NIV)
Sometimes it can take a long time to process and move beyond your resentments. Instead of focusing on betrayal, center your heart on the Lord’s forgiveness and willingness to sweep away offenses like a cloud. Praise Him for His grace.

Give from 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)
When was the last time you took a possession that had real value for you and gave it away? To experience true selfless giving, consider generously letting go of something without thinking of what you might get in return. Keep your gesture a secret between you and God.
Lord, help me give generously from the heart! Help me let go of anything I’m holding on to too tightly, understanding that life’s gifts are meant to be shared.

Choose Kindness

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”—Matthew 7:1 (NIV)
Before you speak, ask God to help you discern if your input will be helpful or hurtful. Fight the temptation to judge others and voice opposing opinions. Ask for His help to accept others and to choose your words with kindness.
Heavenly Father, open my heart to be more understanding and compassionate. Guide me to build others up and use words that please You.

When you feel frustrated, reflect on this verse. Your shortcomings can either defeat you or make you aware of God’s strength. Invite Him to turn your vulnerability into an opportunity to boost your faith and experience His power. His steadfast love will hold you up.

A Prayer to Embrace Change

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.—Ephesians 4:22–24 (NIV)
God has a plan for your life that includes growth and change. Yet many of us resist and fear anything different—even when it’s a move toward something better. God pushes us forward into new and sometimes uncomfortable situations. Be open to opportunity, and place God’s plan before yours.
Heavenly Father, I will seek Your will and Your ways for my life.
