Strength in Balance

A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?—Ecclesiastes 2:24–25 (NIV)
Are you looking to lead a more balanced life? Perhaps work or stress has taken over time that would be better spent enriching your spiritual life. When you feel off-center, turn to His Word. Scripture will help guide you to surrender your will for His, and in doing so, you will release your stress, have more energy and discover the perfect balance.
Dear Lord, fill me with Your Spirit—and guide me to take the time I need to focus on You.

Transformed by Grace

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven.—Acts 9:3 (KJV)
In this passage , Saul was transformed from a persecutor of early Christians to a follower of Christ. God has the power to change people. Is there something in your life that you would like to transform—a negative way of thinking or a bad habit? Pray for Him to reveal His light of truth in your life.
Lord, help me to hear and heed Your call for me to change. Remove my impurities and use me for Your good.

Blessed with Strength

The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.—Psalm 29:11 (NIV)
When you turn to God, He will give you strength. He created you to navigate difficult times, and because of His presence, you can move ahead with confidence and peace. When you feel tired and worn out, He will lift you up and renew you.
Heavenly Father, when life is tough, steady my feet and give me strength to walk the path You have laid out for me.

Walk in God’s Wisdom

And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.—Isaiah 11:2 (ESV)
You have direct access to Jesus’ infinite wisdom and understanding. The next time you struggle with a problem, reach out to Him and ask for His counsel. Be still, get quiet and listen. Wait. Breathe. Trust His answer.
Dear Lord, I know You want what is best for me. Fill me with the strength and wisdom to make choices that serve You.

Guidance for Difficult Times

The angel said to her, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I’m running away from my mistress, Sarai,” she replied.—Genesis 16:8 (NLT)
Sometimes, despite careful planning, life takes a turn and leaves you feeling out of options. Like Hagar, there will be times when you must surrender to a difficult situation. If you face an undesired outcome, take a deep breath and pray for God’s help in accepting His will.
Lord, I pray for wisdom and discernment as I seek to do Your will.

Overflowing Hope

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.—Romans 15:13 (NIV)
God’s peace is always available to you. Instead of worrying, ask for His help in shifting your emotions from fear to gratitude, from despair to hope. Replace your stress with the positive power of the Holy Spirit.
Dear Lord, You are the Source of all hope. Thank You for always giving me strength and renewing my faith.

The Power of Personal Experience

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NIV)
Someone said, “The courage it takes to share your story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to hope.” Reflect on your life, and ask Jesus to help you find ways to inspire others and give them hope by sharing a personal experience.
Dear Lord, guide me to bless others with my story.

Reward Yourself

The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.—Proverbs 19:8 (NIV)
Are you a good friend to yourself? Do you ever reward yourself by doing something that makes your spirit soar and your heart sing? Reflect on your accomplishments and the many life lessons you have learned. Treat yourself. You deserve it.
Dear God, sometimes I put myself at the end of my to-do list. Today, help me remember that being good to myself is essential for my wellbeing.

All Is Well

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.—Song of Solomon 2:12 (KJV)
The flowers appearing in spring are a symbol of faith, a beautiful reminder that even though you may be feeling down or out of sorts, the earth is in order and on schedule. If your faith is low and hope seems futile, hold on! God will renew your spirit when the time is right.
Lord, when I struggle, give me the faith to believe. Help me bloom.

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.
