The Way to Happiness

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.—Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV)
Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply. Expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget yourself, and think of others. Try this for a week, and you will be surprised.” Be aware of how your thoughts shape your future and look to God to help you believe in your abilities to become the best you.
Dear Lord, when I get bogged down with worry and make things difficult, guide me back to living and loving.

Calm Your Worries

“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”—Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)
The prophet Zephaniah warned others that a day of judgment would come. Yet there was no reason to fear, because God had chosen them and received them. When fear enters your heart, pray. Ask Him to calm your worries.
Lord, work in me to change my emotions. I ask for Your peace to guard my heart and mind.

God’s Unshakeable Presence

Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.—Philippians 4:5–6 (NIV)
Everyone knows that trust builds over time. Reflection your life and the many times God helped you out of a bind or gave you wisdom and perseverance to overcome difficult circumstances. Know that His love for you is infinite and unshakable. When you knock, He will open the door.
Dear God, my soul waits upon You. I trust that You will always answer me.

Before You Even Pray

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.—Isaiah 65:24 (NIV)
God knows what you need. Sometimes He answers prayers before they are even prayed. Release your concerns and center your heart on Him. Be patient and trust Him to give you what you need. Even when His answers differ from your desires, continue to believe and trust Him.
Heavenly Father, it is through my prayers to You that I know You better every day.

Seek Justice

Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.—Leviticus 19:15 (NIV)
Treating people fairly is an important part of living in a community. Do you seek justice in your community? Do you address prejudices and work for righteousness in your neighborhood? God has created all humans in His image, and all deserve to be treated fairly, honestly and justly.
Lord, You love all people with Your perfect love. Show me where my time is needed. I want to serve by helping others.

Praise for His Unfailing Goodness

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.”—Exodus 34:6 (NIV)
The Bible provides many examples of giving praise and thanks even during the most challenging times. Reflect on Jesus giving thanks for the food and drink right before He was given to the Roman authorities. Or Job, who despite great suffering did not curse God. Or the Psalmist, who gave thanks even though he faced injustice. Thankfulness is rooted in the firm faith that God’s nature is one of unfailing goodness.
Lord, I trust You and praise You for your infinite kindness.

Keys to the World

God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.—Matthew 5:4–5 (NLT)
Jesus tells His followers that the people who experience the deep mourning of sin—and the version of themselves that turns their back on God—will receive His comfort and will be reminded that God is in control over even life’s most challenging situations. They will become overcomers!
Heavenly Father, when I am tempted to make choices that turn my heart away from You, right my way and hold me close.

Rest for Your Soul

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”—Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)
In the above verse, Jesus calls us to take on His yoke, and promises that His work will be easy to bear, for He is humble and gentle at heart. When you commit to Him, you are relieved of carrying your heavy burdens. He will give your spirit rest.
Dear Lord, thank You for showing me that living by faith is easier than carrying the heavy burden of sel-frighteousness.

Choose to Forgive

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)
When someone has wronged you, you have a choice. Brood over your anger and hurt feelings, or dig deep into your heart and forgive the offense. Rather than staying fixed in your rage—grow spiritually and begin the healing process. Forgive.
Heavenly Father, help me recognize that holding on to anger limits my future and growth, and keeps me stuck in negative thinking.
