A Gift From God

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.—Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)
Laughter is one of God’s gifts, a way to lighten your burdens and connect with others. Chuck Swindoll said, “Laughter is the most beautiful and beneficial therapy God ever granted humanity.” Embrace moments of happiness and let them be a testament to the joy that faith brings into your life.

Singing in the Darkness

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.—Acts 16:25–26 (NIV)
Like Paul and Silas, you may find yourself in situations where it feels like you’re imprisoned by circumstances beyond your control. In these moments, remember their example of faith and hope. They turned to prayer and praise, even in the darkness, and their faith moved mountains.
Lord, grant me the strength to sing Your praises in times of hardship, knowing that You can break any chains that bind me.

Peace of Mind

Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.—Luke 5:15–16 (NIV)
When you feel overwhelmed by stress, remember Jesus’ example in the above verse. When people sought His attention, Jesus frequently slipped away by Himself to pray. Find a quiet place and ask Him to grant you peace of mind.
Dear Lord Jesus, I draw strength, comfort, and wisdom from You.

Beyond Any Doubt

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”—John 20:27 (NIV)
Sometimes, like Thomas, you might demand physical proof before believing, but faith calls for trust in what is unseen. Remember that Jesus’ words to Thomas are meant for you: “Stop doubting and believe.” Let this call to faith encourage you to trust in God, even when you can’t see His plans.
Lord, remove any doubts from my heart and fill it with unwavering belief in You.
