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)

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.

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.

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 Power of Patience

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.—Romans 12:12 (NIV)
Christian pastor A. W. Tozer brilliantly wrote, “Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.” Patience is a fruit of the Spirit, yet waiting periods can sometimes chip away at your trust. Recognize that God is in control even when things don’t seem to go your way. He will give you the desires of your heart in His time.
Lord, help me trust Your time and face my problems with patience and grace.
