Learn Something New

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.—Colossians 3:23–24 (ESV)
As children and college students go back to school, you too can reflect on something you want to change or develop. Now is the perfect time to set goals and try something different. Explore a new skill or hobby. Ask God to help you dream new dreams.
Lord, I’m ready to start something new, to discover and develop new talent.

Look to Your Heart

Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.—Luke 21:36 (NIV)
The above verse is a roadmap to safety and salvation. When you are at a crossroads between devotion and desire, what you want and what is best, don’t be led astray by temptation. Look to your heart for what you truly want and what will bring you closest to following God’s will.
Heavenly Father, sometimes I make life more difficult than it really is. Help me look to You first.

Walk in His Great Light

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows—light! sunbursts of light!”—Isaiah 9:2 (MSG)
God is the bright pathway to fulfilling your deepest longings and His Word will fill your heart with His light. Have faith that even when it feels like you are walking in the dark, prayer and Scripture will show you the way forward. In turn, your faith-guided journey can help others find their own way out of the darkness.
Heavenly Father, help me shine Your glorious light on those around me.

Overcome Mountainous Obstacles

He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”—Luke 17:6 (NIV)
Jesus tells you that a fragment of faith is all you need to do the impossible. No matter how strong your faith is right now, it is enough. Even the smallest seed of trust in God can overcome mountainous obstacles.
Lord, help me put this truth into action and firmly believe with all my heart that anything is possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.
