Keep Calm During Conflict

A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.—Proverbs 15:18 (NIV)
How do you respond when someone treats you unfairly? Do you resist the urge to get angry and upset? Sometimes the best response is to take a moment and pray. Ask God to help you turn the situation around. Practicing self-control strengthens your character and enables you to develop the ability to diffuse contentious situations.
Merciful God, help me control my reactions to difficult people and situations. When I am frustrated, fill me with Your peace.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
Are you worried about your finances? Do you live in a mindset of scarcity or abundance? Keep this verse centered in your heart and mind. God can meet all of your needs. Trust Him. Instead of reflecting on what you lack—focus on what you have!

His Hand Will Guide You

If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.—Psalm 139:9–10 (NLT)
You are in God’s care. No matter where you go or what situation you face, there is no place that you can go where God is not present. Envision Him taking your hand and comforting you with His peace. His wisdom and strength will guide you through every situation.
Heavenly Father, I can face any challenge because I am in the shelter of Your wings.

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

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.

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.
