The Reason to Rejoice

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!—Philippians 4:4 (NIV)
The Apostle Paul is saying that our joy should not depend on our external circumstances, which can change and be unpredictable, but rather on our relationship with God, which is unchanging and constant. We should approach problems with a positive and joyful attitude rooted in our faith in God. When we do this, we can experience the peace and comfort that comes from knowing God is with us and in control.
Lord, help me be joyful in all circumstances, focusing on You and trusting in Your righteousness.

The Power of God’s Spirit

So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”—Zechariah 4:6 (NIV)
Success and accomplishment come through the guidance of God’s Spirit. Rely on God’s strength and advice rather than your own when you seek to do great things or overcome challenges in your life. Pray for the humility to recognize your limitations and the faith to trust in God’s power.
Lord, thank You for Your grace and mercy, which sustain me.

Righteousness by Faith

Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.—Genesis 15:6 (NIV)
Salvation is not earned through our efforts or good works, but through faith. Belief and trust in God’s promises are central to a righteous life. Ask God to help you believe when you are plagued by doubt. Have the courage to step out in faith, knowing God is with you.    
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of Abram, who believed in You despite his doubts and fears and trusted in Your promises even when they seemed impossible.

The Sacred and the Sifting

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”—Luke 22:31-32 (NIV)
This verse reveals Jesus’ love and concern for Peter. Jesus prayed for Peter, asking God to strengthen his faith and protect him from falling away. With all Peter’s flaws and failures, he had an essential role in building up the Church. Life is not always easy, but our loving Savior intercedes for us and enables us to persevere.
Dear God, help me to keep my eyes fixed on You and to rely on Your grace and mercy in every situation.

Blessed Is the Believer

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.—John 20:29 (KJV)
The adage “seeing is believing” comes from the 17th-century English clergyman Thomas Fuller whose actual statement was, “Seeing is believing, but the feeling is truth.” There is power in believing and trusting what you know to be true in your heart. Thank God for His constant love and support, even when you cannot see or feel His presence.
Almighty God, may my faith continue to grow and flourish, and may I always trust in You, even when I cannot see.

A Quiet Love of Life

My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.—Psalm 131:1–2 (NIV)

Overcome Temptation

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.—Hebrews 2:18 (NIV)
When you are faced with temptation, turn to Jesus for help. He can empathize with your struggles because He suffered and overcame temptation Himself. Ask Him to fill your heart with the desire to live a life that honors Him, and be a light of His love and grace in this world.
