Blessed Moments of Rest

So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.—Hebrews 4:9–10 (ESV)
As the summer winds down, recognize that the key to keeping balance in your life is taking the time to direct your thoughts and actions toward God. Let go of feeling stressed or guilty about spending time on your spiritual life. Your relationship with God is vital to your health and wellness.
Dear Lord, help me find moments of rest where I release my burdens and recharge my spirit.

Seek Peace and Pursue It

Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always].—Colossians 3:15 (AMP)
C.S. Lewis said, “God can’t give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.” When you pursue your relationship with God and seek His presence, you experience the freedom of knowing that nothing on earth can chase away His peace.
Thank You, Lord, for Your peace that transcends all understanding.

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.
