Break the Habit

For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.—Matthew 7:2 (ESV)
Have you fallen into the unhealthy habit of judging yourself and others? Rather than criticize, see people as God created them. Avoid gossip, envy, pride and ingratitude, and resist the urge to measure your life and achievements against others.
Dear Lord, help me to let love and compassion be my guide so that I can see others with Your loving eyes.

Pass Tests of Faith

The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.—Psalm 145:9 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “When pain strikes, we often ask the wrong questions, such as, ‘Why me?’ The right questions are, ‘What can I learn from this? What can I do about it? What can I accomplish in spite of it?’ ” Life can be difficult, but when you place your trust in God’s hands, you can embrace life’s trials, knowing that He is transforming you and that your faith will produce the beautiful fruit of endurance.
When I am struggling with heartache and feeling alone, Loving Father, hold me close and comfort me.
