Pursue Your Purpose

And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.—1 John 2:17 (NLT)
Ask God to help you use your time well. Be wise in spending your hours and make the most of every opportunity. Prioritize the important things so you are not wasting time on things that do not matter.
Lord, may my mind be clear and my heart be open to the guidance and direction that You provide.

Blessed Moments of Rest

So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.—Hebrews 4:9–10 (ESV)
A key to having balance in your life is honoring a day of rest—especially during the busy holiday season. Don’t feel guilty about taking time for your spiritual life. Instead, spend time with God and reap the benefit of His presence.
Loving Father, my time with You is precious and blessed. Help me to keep it that way—to schedule time for us.

Follow His Lead

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)prayer
Ask God to help you release anything stopping you from aligning with His will. He will help you make choices that follow His plan and stay on the path He has set for you. Trust that He will provide every step of the way.
Almighty and loving God, please help me be open to Your guidance. I want to follow Your lead in all that I do.

Eat! To God’s Glory

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.—1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)
Author Laurie Colwin wrote, “The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving; even the simplest food is a gift.” When we approach food with gratitude and moderation, we honor God’s gift and use it to nourish our bodies and bring joy to others.
God of comfort, thank You for the delicious food You have provided. Help me be mindful of my choices and use nourishment in a way that brings honor and glory to You.

Straight to Heaven

Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.—Genesis 5:24 (NIV)
Enoch’s life is a testimony to the power of a faithful and intimate relationship with God.

When you follow Him with all your heart, you can experience the joy and peace that come from living in His presence.
Heavenly Father, give me the strength and courage to turn away from sin and to follow you with all my heart.

The Measure You Use

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.—Luke 6:38 (NIV)
One of life’s greatest truths is that the more you give, the more you receive. Your life can take on true meaning when you give generously—and thankfully—to lift up another in need. God loves it when you share with a grateful heart.
Lord God, I am ready to lend a helping hand. Guide me to people and situations where I can be of service.
