A Life of Thanks-Living

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.—1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)
Who hasn’t heard this verse and groaned a little when trying to be thankful during challenging times? But strength lies in this powerful verse. Because of your relationship with God, you are not alone! You have the Creator of the universe to help you navigate life’s twists and turns.
Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your loving presence. Teach me always to see the good in a situation.

See Yourself with Love

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.—1 John 4:16 (NIV)
When you reflect on your life, do you compare yourself to friends or others in your circle? Fight the urge to judge your accomplishments or appearance. Instead, turn to the above verse and know that you are perfect in God’s eyes, just the way you are! He sees the person He created you to be and the person He is helping you become.
Lord, help me to look at myself through the lens of self-love.

Clouded by Doubt

The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.—1 Kings 19:11 (NIV)
Sometimes God’s help is clouded by your doubts and desire for a different outcome. It’s not always easy to listen to His guidance and have enough faith to follow His instruction—especially down an unknown path. When you feel uncertain about a decision, ask God for the strength and clarity to follow His will.
Heavenly Father, when I am feeling lost, lift the uncertainty from my spirit and guide me to follow Your direction. Please help me to stay on course

You Are Never Alone

“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’ ”—Matthew 1:23 (NLT)
God is with you. Reflect on the reassuring truth that although life might seem to wear you down with troubles, you are being built up by God. He is restoring and strengthening you. Best of all, He will never leave you.
Lord, thank You for empowering me with Your presence. Help me overcome hurdles and keep my mind clear and focused on You.

Embraced by Love

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.—Colossians 3:14 (ESV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little and give much. Fill your life with love.” Love holds people together and brings harmony. Love surrounds you with joy. Reflect on moments in your life when you felt embraced by love.
Father, sometimes I complicate my relationships with petty arguments or disagreements when instead I should focus on love.

Over the Horizon

He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.—Job 26:10 (NIV)
Every day has a new horizon filled with unique opportunities and situations beyond your vision. Yet you can embrace every moment ahead, trusting that the One who created all things is lovingly guiding you forward.
When I can’t see what lies ahead, Lord, remind me that You can and are looking out for me.

Cultivate a Passion for God

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.—Romans 12:11 (NIV)
Do you approach your faith life with an intense longing and desire to know God and fulfill your purpose to do His will? God is the source of spiritual passion. Approach your relationship with Him enthusiastically and pray that your desire to be close to Him will continue to grow.

Time to Forgive

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving.—Ephesians 4:31–32 (NIV)
The heavy weight of anger, resentment and regret can sap your strength and leave you feeling exhausted. Ask for God’s help to release negative feelings and let go of the past. Recognize the important life lessons you have learned from complicated relationships and challenging situations—and look to the future with courage.
Sometimes, Lord, forgiveness is hard for me. Remind me how self-destructive it is to hold grudges.

The Rainbow Connection

Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.—Genesis 9:16 (NIV)
“Why are there so many songs about rainbows?” is a question posed in a popular children’s song written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher. Rainbows make us stop and take in the pure majesty of beauty in the sky. More importantly, they remind us of God’s promise to Noah to never destroy the earth by flood again.
Lord, thank You for the many ways you connect us to the triumph of mercy and the victory of grace.

How’s Your Average?

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”—1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)
Author and motivational speaker Jack Canfield said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Take inventory of the people in your life and build friendships with like-minded people who bring you closer to the many blessings the Lord has in store for you.
Heavenly Father, help me build relationships with people that deepen my faith and bring me closer to You.

Why Am I Here?

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.—Psalm 138:8 (ESV)
Sometimes we get caught up in everyday stresses and commitments and forget that God created each one of us for a purpose. When you feel lost and distracted, focus on God. Ask for His help to keep you centered on your purpose.
Lord, I trust Your wisdom and Your timing. I know You placed me here for a reason. I want to live up to my full potential.

The Life You Want

Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”—Mark 9:24 (NIV)
Are you living the life you want? If not, why not? Is doubt stealing your desire to go after your dreams? Have faith and trust that your dreams come from within you and God. Release all doubt, and believe that you can achieve what your heart desires.
Father God, when doubt tempts me to settle for something I am not happy with, strengthen my faith and help me to believe.
