Walk with God

Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.—Genesis 5:24 (NIV)
Enoch lived a life of close communion with God and “walked with God” for 300 years. His life is an inspiration for your spiritual journey. Allow God’s truth to shape your thoughts and actions, and follow His path even when it diverges from the crowd.
Lord, help me walk faithfully with You, drawing close to Your presence and following Your will.

Shine in the New Year

For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.—1 Thessalonians 5:5 (ESV)
Embracing your inner light allows you to shine brightly for those struggling in the shadows of self-doubt and negativity. When faced with challenges and setbacks, do you remind yourself of your inherent value as a child of God? As you strengthen your sense of self, you become better equipped to share that light with others who may need encouragement and support.
Lord, thank You for creating me in Your image and instilling within me Your divine light. As I embark on this new year, help me recognize my worth and share Your love and light with those around me.

Let Your Suffering Refine Your Spirit

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.—Matthew 11:28–30 (NIV)
God doesn’t want you to hide in suffering. When you are feeling burdened, instead of shouldering the load on your own, turn to God. He wants you to turn your pain over to Him. He promises to give you the strength you need.
God, when I need rest and reassurance, fill me with Your peace.

Welcome Fear

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
When you give in to fear and allow it to hold you back, you lose a piece of yourself. Acting out of fear is never the answer to living a faith-filled life. Instead of avoiding or recoiling, ask God to help you welcome the feeling of fear—knowing that you can move past it with His help.
Lord, because of You I can courageously look forward to tomorrow.
