Release Old Hurts

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.—Isaiah 61:1 (NIV)
Search your heart and reflect on any hurts that have not yet healed. Surrender your pain and unresolved feelings to God. Ask Him to work miracles from your misfortune. Open your heart to His compassion and love. He will free you from pain.
Dear Lord, thank You for caring for me and helping me let go of my grief and sadness. Open my heart to Your healing touch. Work Your miracles and free me from pain.

Be Kind to the Unkind

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.—Romans 12:21 (NIV)
It’s been said that you should be kind to unkind people because they need it the most. Although it’s not always easy, when you show compassion and forgiveness, you create positive change. Ask God for the wisdom to know when to speak up, when to remain silent, the courage to do what is right and always to remain kind.
Lord, help me to see difficult people through your eyes and to respond to them with your love and compassion. Teach me to set healthy boundaries and to communicate with grace and humility.

Face Uncertainties

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”—Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
When the future feels uncertain and you become anxious about the days ahead, remember that God is in control. He has a plan for you and has promised to work all things together for your good. Find peace, and rest in Him. Trust His plan.
Almighty God, when I am filled with uncertainty, center my heart on You.

The Abundance of His Provision

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV)

Dear Lord, may my faith grow stronger each day, and may I always seek Your will above my own.

Let Go of Jealous Thoughts

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.—Galatians 5:26 (NIV)
Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” If you envy others’ successes, ask God to help you see yourself and others through His eyes and be content with what He has given you. With His help, you can find the love and strength to celebrate everyone’s successes genuinely without envy, and enjoy the freedom that comes from surrendering your jealousy in exchange for His peace.
Lord, thank You for Your grace and mercy, which enables me to overcome all things through Your Son, Jesus Christ.

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)

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.
