God Will Pick Up the Pieces

God, your God, will restore everything you lost; He’ll have compassion on you; He’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.—Deuteronomy 30:3 (MSG)
God transforms life’s messes and miseries into masterpieces of His grace and mercy. Open your heart to Him, and trust that He is renewing and restoring you, picking up the pieces and rebuilding you. Best of all, when God restores you, He doesn’t bring you back. He brings you forward.
Lord Jesus, You restore my soul. Enfold me in Your love and help me grow to be my best.

Never Too Late

Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.”—Genesis 17:19 (NIV)
Is there a longing in your heart that you haven’t fulfilled? George Eliot famously said, “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” Have faith and pursue your passion. Celebrate the God of miracles. It’s never too late.
Miraculous God, please help me build my dreams into reality.

God Is Faithful

Then Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the Lord! The Lord has made me strong. Now I have an answer for my enemies; I rejoice because you rescued me.”— 1 Samuel 2:1 (NLT)  
God’s grace is always at work in your life. Even when you feel He isn’t answering your prayers, He is there. Instead of doubting His help, offer praise for His presence. Lift your face and turn your focus to Him. Trust that God is faithful.
Lord, I need Your help. I know that You hear my prayers.

His Love Is Constant

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Romans 8:38–39 (ESV)
When the unexpected happens, or you are worried and anxious about the future, let go of fear and anxiety, because God is here with you. Though life may have times of uncertainty, God’s love is constant and steadfast.
Lord, the only true thing I can count on in this world is You.

Share God’s Love

Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.—1 Corinthians 11:1 (NKJV)
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross wrote, “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” An important part of your faith is sharing your light and God’s love with others. Just as the apostle Paul was placed in communities to help them experience His divine kindness, you too are called to be a beacon of His light and help others on their faith journeys.
Heavenly Father, I long to share Your love and light with others.

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.

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.
