Love Your Life

For anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.—Hebrews 4:10 (NIV)
Reflect on the above verse and recognize the gift of today. Enjoy your cup of tea or coffee in the morning, feel the sun on your face and listen to the whistles and trills of birds singing. Recognize that the richest part of your life is spent with God and in gratitude, for the glorious gifts He showers on you.

God Is with You

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.—Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)
Sometimes, despite close relationships and knowing that God is near, life can make you feel alone. When your heart is heavy with loneliness, remember that God is always by your side. Ask Him to give you the strength to be vulnerable to others and open with your feelings. Trust that He is guiding your path.
Lord, even though I know You are with me, sometimes it’s hard to feel Your presence. Help me remember I am never truly alone.

Forgive One Another and Yourself

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.—Matthew 6:14 (NIV)
Forgiveness is essential to your faith and helps you live a healthy, balanced life. Instead of letting anger or resentment tarnish your spirit, reflect on your mistakes, acknowledge your faults and apologize to those you hurt. Ask God to help you embody His forgiveness.
Lord, fill me with compassion and understanding. May Your peace and presence be with me always, and may I reflect Your light in all I do.

Bless the Animals

So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.—Genesis 1:21 (NIV)
Today, many Christians celebrate the Blessing of the Animals. This tradition, attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, is inspired by the belief that all creatures are created by God and worthy of love and prayer. Take a moment and pray for comfort and healing to all of His creatures that need to feel His love.
Lord, bless all the animals and the humans who care for them. May they be patient, kind and compassionate, and find joy in helping Your creatures.

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.—Psalm 9:10 (NIV)

Fully Face Your Fear

The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?—Psalm 27:1 (NIV)
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” Do you avoid fear at all costs, wasting time and energy running away from your worries? Instead of sidestepping the problem, know that with God at your side, you can fully face and feel your fear. You have the power and are free to walk through your worries and move beyond what is blocking you.
Dear Lord, fill me with Your peace which surpasses all understanding, and help me remain calm and centered on You in the face of fear.

Just for Today

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.—Matthew 6:34 (ESV)
When you feel overwhelmed by a big project or goal, focus on today. What can you do right now that will help you succeed? Then, turn to God and ask for the patience and perseverance to keep moving forward just for today.
Lord, I have faith that I can finish what I start, and the process of working towards my goal is just as important as the result.

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.
