Confide in Jesus

“I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before Him my complaint; before Him I tell my trouble.”—Psalm 142:1–2 (NIV)
Jesus is merciful . There are no divisions in His love, no secret motive or selfish intention. When you are upset or worried about something, tell Him. Be open and honest, and know He wants what is best for you. Trust the outcome to Him.
Dear God, I am in awe of the purity of Your love and the peace I feel when I share my concerns with You.

Live the Moment

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.—John 16:33 (NLT)
Life is full of challenges and successes, but no matter what you are going through, the most important moment is right now. Resist the urge to rush through life, impatiently trying to reach the next better thing. Instead, have faith and know that the treasure you seek is inside you.
Heavenly Father, Your amazing powers are within me.

Don’t Let Pride be Your Guide

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.—Proverbs 11:2 (NIV)
God’s presence in your life can lead you to be humble yet confident. Pride, on the other hand, can hinder God’s influence and separate you from His love and wisdom. Ask God to help you remember that humility is a sign of strength.
Dear Lord, help me be humble and true as I serve You.

Live a Big Life

“Everything is possible for one who believes.”—Mark 9:23 (NIV)
Norman Vincent Peale said that your life and achievements are directly proportional to what you believe. Believe little, and you will have a little life. If your belief is weak, you will get a weak life. If your faith is fear-based, you will live a life of fear. But when you believe big, you get a great life!
Heavenly Father, help me determine my dreams, and keep me determined to pursue them.

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.
