Move Forward

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.—Philippians 3:13 (NIV)
To move forward and grow, you must learn to let go of the past and focus on the future. Release the pain and regrets of the past and embrace the possibilities and opportunities of the present and future.
Dear Lord, grant me the wisdom to recognize when it is time to let go and the grace to do so with love, forgiveness and compassion.

The Gift of Sleep

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)
Cartoonist Charles M. Schulz wrote, “Happiness is waking up, looking at the clock and finding that you still have two hours left to sleep.” Today, many have an extra hour as they turn their clocks back for Daylight Saving Time. Use this time to rest peacefully, trusting in God’s protection. Surrender your worries to Him and trust He will watch over you and keep you safe.
Lord, thank You for the gift of sleep, which restores and refreshes me, preparing me for the day ahead.

The Beauty of Fall

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
In autumn , reflect on the beauty of change and the power of letting go. Embrace nature’s lessons with an open heart and mind, and continue to be grateful for all the blessings in your life. Thank God for the bounty of the harvest season as you reflect on the passing of time.
Lord, as a gentle breeze carries the fallen leaves, I am comforted knowing that amidst the cycles of life and the inevitability of change, You are constant.

Gratitude Inspires Thankfulness

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.—Numbers 6:24–26 (NIV)
Gratitude and thanksgiving are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings. Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation for the good things in our lives, while thanksgiving is an outward expression of that gratitude. Together, they create a powerful force that can transform our lives and the world.
Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness, goodness and love, and for all the blessings that grace my life.

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.

Get to Know God

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.—Psalm 9:10 (NIV)
When you truly know God, you can trust Him completely, because He is always faithful and true to His word. God will never abandon those who seek Him. When you turn to Him wholeheartedly, you can be confident that He will guide you through whatever challenges you face in life.
Dear Lord, I trust Your wisdom and ask that You reveal yourself to me. Fill me with peace and understanding.

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.

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.

Put Your Hand to the Plow

Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”—Luke 9:62 (ESV)
Following Jesus requires focus. As the above verse declares, you can’t plow a field looking behind you, nor can you live a faith-filled life distracted by the past. Ask Jesus to help you keep your eyes fixed on Him. And don’t look back!
Lord, when distractions and to-do lists pull me off the path, guide me back to You.
