You Deserve the Best

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.—Colossians 3:23 (ESV)
You have the power to decide what goals to achieve and how you spend your time and energy. It’s your choice to pursue the best opportunities, the best relationships and the best version of yourself. What are you working towards?
Heavenly Father, help me make the right choices so I never settle for less than the best.

God Is on Your Side

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.—Psalm 20:7 (NIV)
When you feel overwhelmed with stress, repeat, “God is on my side.” Be confident and ready to face any situation that life presents, knowing that He has designed your life’s journey specifically for you. Embrace each moment and every lesson that the experience offers.
Heavenly Father, everything will be okay because You are on my side.

Renew Your Mind

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.—Romans 12:2 (ESV)
Every moment is an opportunity to renew your mind, change your perspective and see the good in a situation. When you frame your thoughts through the positive lens of love and trust that God will lead you to your best life, good things happen.
Dear Lord, guide me to follow Your will and focus on what is good, acceptable and perfect.

Guided by Divine Clarity

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.”—John 14:16–17 (NIV)
Is there a problem where you need divine clarity? Invite the Holy Spirit to guide you. Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit is always available to inspire and lead you on your journey. When you feel overwhelmed about a situation in your life—money challenges, relationship issues, problems at work—the Counselor can help you have the wisdom and understanding to make choices that align with your deepest values.
Lord, I need You to be my true compass, giving me the wisdom and discernment I need to make the best choices.

Change Is Good

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
Progress is impossible without change. Yet many fear taking a leap towards something better—staying in jobs we don’t like, or in unfulfilling relationships. If there is something in your life that needs to change, pray. Use this verse as an affirmation to help you have the bravery to move forward. You are not alone. Blessings lie ahead.
Dear God, help me to face the changes I should make in my life; grant me the courage to leap.

Wherever You Go

Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord will be my God.”—Genesis 28:20–21 (NIV)
Jacob fled his family in fear for his life, and God intervened, letting Jacob know he was loved and cared for. Ask God to fill you with His strength and love. If you do this regularly, your life will be completely changed and you will go from feeling stressed to knowing you are blessed.
Dear Lord, I know You are with me and watch over me wherever I go.

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.

Notice God’s Goodness

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.—Psalm 19:1 (NIV)
The earth is a beautiful place. Yet we often forget to see the sunsets, notice the beautiful symmetry of a flower or appreciate the taste of fresh-picked vegetables and fruits. The world is full of gifts; each is a testimony to His brilliance. Be mindful of His many glorious blessings, and look closely at the greatness around you.
Heavenly Father, I am in awe of Your creation and amazed by Your grace. Thank You for blessing me with spectacular demonstrations of Your love.
