Dream New Dreams

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.—James 4:3 (NIV)
Sometimes we need to be reminded that prayer is greater than the means to getting what we want. Prayer centers our lives and our focus on God. Trust that He knows your destination in life and will ensure you arrive there.
Lord, if what I’m praying for is not to be, help me to find a new purpose and dream a new dream.

Unshakeable Trust

“They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”—Jeremiah 17:8 (NIV)
The Bible gives many examples of people trusting God in times of waiting. Noah waited for the rain to stop; Rebekah waited for a child. Their faith and patience was rewarded. When you are feeling frustrated by a situation or tired of being patient, pray this verse.
Lord, I am planted in You, and the longer I wait, the deeper my connection and the stronger my roots in You grow.

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.

Pray Your Worries Away

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?”—Matthew 6:25 (NIV)
Jesus teaches that God gave you the gift of life, and He will supply your needs. When you are worried about the future, ask for His help to resolve your concerns. Place your needs before Him, knowing that He will guide you to solutions. Faithfully rely on Your Heavenly Father to take care of you.
Dear Lord, You are my provider. Help me replace my worry with faith and truly leave my concerns in Your hands.

Put Your Hand to the Plow

Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”—Luke 9:62 (ESV)
Following Jesus requires focus. As the above verse declares, you can’t plow a field looking behind you, nor can you live a faith-filled life distracted by the past. Ask Jesus to help you keep your eyes fixed on Him. And don’t look back!
Lord, when distractions and to-do lists pull me off the path, guide me back to You.

The Power of Patience

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.—Romans 12:12 (NIV)
Christian pastor A. W. Tozer brilliantly wrote, “Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.” Patience is a fruit of the Spirit, yet waiting periods can sometimes chip away at your trust. Recognize that God is in control even when things don’t seem to go your way. He will give you the desires of your heart in His time.
Lord, help me trust Your time and face my problems with patience and grace.

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.

Travel with God

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.—Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
Everyone knows the saying, “Man plans, and God laughs.” Just when you think your life is on a straight trajectory, circumstances can change in an instant. God knows what your future holds. So when it feels as if your life has suddenly gone off-track, hold on to your faith and travel where God calls you to go.
Lord God, I’ll do my best to be faithful and flexible, to follow Your lead wherever it takes me.

Celebrate Our Freedom

I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.—Psalm 119:30–32 (NIV)
Hooray ! Today is Independence Day. As you celebrate our country’s freedom, reflect on the many blessings God has showered upon us as a nation. See beyond the country’s imperfections and shortcomings to the hope and potential of America.
Lord, make us worthy of Your gift of freedom.

Strength in Balance

A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?—Ecclesiastes 2:24–25 (NIV)
Are you looking to lead a more balanced life? Perhaps work or stress has taken over time that would be better spent enriching your spiritual life. When you feel off-center, turn to His Word. Scripture will help guide you to surrender your will for His, and in doing so, you will release your stress, have more energy and discover the perfect balance.
Dear Lord, fill me with Your Spirit—and guide me to take the time I need to focus on You.
