Tame Your Temper

Good sense makes a man slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.—Proverbs 19:11 (RSV)
Charles Spurgeon said, “Do not say, ‘I cannot help having a bad temper.’ Friend, you must help it. Pray to God to help you overcome it at once, for either you must kill it, or it will kill you. You cannot carry a bad temper into heaven.” Slow down your anger and rise above provocation. Build up resistance to anger by letting this verse guide your thinking.
Dear Lord, help me resolve differences with love and compassion and strive for solutions that bring peace and harmony.

Your True Potential

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.—Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
Open your mind to your true potential. What you think of yourself defines your boundaries and limits what you think you are capable of. Often people reject a dream or goal because they mistakenly believe it’s beyond their abilities. Push away these thoughts—and ask God to help you stretch your self-image to see what He sees when He looks at you.
Heavenly Father, open my mind to consider new possibilities, new goals, new friendships, and new ways of thinking about myself.

The Joy of Praising God

Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops; Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors, Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars; Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds; Praise, oh let them praise the name of God—he spoke the word, and there they were!—Psalm 148:1 (MSG)
Try to say the above verse without sounding excited. It’s almost impossible! Just reading the words fills you with the joy of knowing that you serve a mighty God. When your spirit needs a boost, spend a few minutes praising Jesus. Invite joy into your life. Praise Him for who He is, what He’s done and what He has promised to do.
Heavenly Father, thank You for being my victorious Savior, best friend and Holy Lord.

The Other Side of Grief

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.—Isaiah 53:3 (KJV)
In the above verse, Jesus is “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” When you feel alone with your grief, know that God understands your pain. Share your heartache with Him and take comfort in realizing He fully understands what you are going through. He will support you and guide you to the other side of grief.
Lord, sometimes I feel no one else understands the depths of my hurt. But You do! You are the Source of my healing. I am not alone in my pain.

Embrace Challenging Verses

All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.—Psalm 119:160 (NIV)
Some people want to ignore parts of the Bible that seem challenging to live by. How do you face Scripture that is hard to accept or understand? Part of your faith journey depends on knowing that you can’t have a “take it or leave it” approach to His Word. When you come across Scripture that you need to digest further—jot it down—and pray for His help to see the truth of His Word.
All-knowing God, I turn to Your Word for direction. Guide me through the challenging passages so I can fully connect with You.

Bathed in His Grace

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.—Ephesians 6:24 (NKJV)
This verse reminds us that when we love Jesus, we are bathed in grace. We view the world through a different lens, helping us see the purpose and beauty around us, bolstering our faith when we face fear and giving us the added boost we need to pick up and go on when we fall.
Lord, because of You, I have grace—and as the apostle Paul writes, Your grace is sufficient.

Right Your Compass

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.—Galatians 1:10 (NIV)
Reflect on your recent actions and ask yourself if you were focused on pleasing people or pleasing God. Jesus has called us to be His servants. Let go of the urge to make everyone around you happy. Instead, seek to please Jesus—that is your true path to happiness.
Lord, help me to cast aside the burden of being a people pleaser. Your approval is the only one I need.

Showing Up

Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.—Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)
The Greek word koinonia appears in the Bible in the context of the importance of participating or simply showing up. When we attend events or show up for people, we support them and let them know that we care. Fellowship is an essential part of your faith. Are you present for those that need you?
Lord, I am so grateful for the people You have placed in my life. Guide me to recognize opportunities where I need to show up.

An Awesome Truth

We say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”—Hebrews 13:6 (NIV)
When you feel upset or overpowered and need a boost of strength, turn to this verse. God is your helper! Let your soul rest in Him. He is tirelessly working on your behalf; all is safe in His hands. He will fill you with love and peace.
God our Protector, I know that You are accomplishing Your plan and cause everything to work together for the good of those who love You.

Feeding on Ashes

Are you “feeding on ashes” rather than nourishing yourself with the Word of God? Often our hearts and minds mislead us as we attempt to replace our faith in God with something else. Looking for contentment or satisfaction anywhere else is a lie.
Almighty God, You are my God, a God of grace and truth, and I serve You.

True peace and contentment come from Jesus. In Him, you will find everything that you need. God cares how you apply His lessons to your life. Living by His Word and walking with Jesus is the path to victory.
Heavenly Father, thank You for everything. I will do my best and leave the results to You.

The Faith to Persevere

We share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.—Romans 8:17–18 (NIV)
When you are tunneling through dark times, have faith and put your hope in Jesus, the Light of the World. Know that every difficult path offers lessons and blessings that will help you grow. Trust that God is by your side. He will not forsake you.
Lord, life’s trials test me, but I trust You to help me through the dark moments. I have faith and will persevere.
