The Strength of Gentleness

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)
Gentleness is not weakness but a sign of strength under control. Today, practice gentleness in your interactions. Show the strength of God’s love through your meekness. Your calm and gentle spirit can be a profound witness to others.
Heavenly Father, may my gentleness be a beacon of Your grace, drawing those around me closer to Your love.

Take the Leap

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
Change. The word itself can trigger anxiety. Fear of change can cause people to stay in unhealthy situations and have a dismal future. If you know something needs to change in your life, have courage. Use this verse as an affirmation to help you take a leap of faith. You are not alone. Blessings lie ahead.
Dear God, help me to face the changes I should make in my life. Grant me the courage to take the leap.

A Vessel of Good Works

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.—Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
Try this tip to keep yourself in tune with God: Every morning, dedicate five minutes to quietness. If you can, first thing in the morning, take a spot by a window, take a deep breath, and pray. Affirm that God is filling you with strength and energy. Feel His love and power fill your spirit.

I have called you by name; you are mine.—Isaiah 43:1 (NLT)

Use Good Words

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body.—James 3:6 (NIV)
This scripture reminds us of the power of words—your words. Despite the old adage about sticks and stones, what you say has a tremendous impact. Words can encourage or discourage, so be mindful of all you say. Use your words to uplift yourself and others. Kind words are easy to give and often remembered for a lifetime.
Heavenly Father, help me make the world a better place, one word at a time.

Silent Change

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.—Psalm 22:1–2 (ESV)
When God seems silent, when you feel as if your prayers aren’t being answered, change is happening behind the scenes. Even if you can’t feel it, you are growing. You’re developing a deeper faith and a greater knowing. Believe and trust the calm, strong insight that often comes when we feel God is silent.
Dear Lord, in quiet times, when I doubt that You are near, hold me close and comfort me, reassure me there is nothing to fear.

Restore Me

God, your God, will restore everything you lost; he’ll have compassion on you; he’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.—Deuteronomy 30:3 (MSG)
God restores lives. He takes messes, jealousy, and weakness and transforms them into a life full of grace and mercy. He shines wisdom and love on doubt and fear, and brings faith and peace. Every single day, when you open your heart to Him, He is renewing and restoring you—and when God restores you, He doesn’t bring you back. He brings you forward.
Lord Jesus, You restore my soul. Thank You for helping me grow to be my best.

God Is Faithful

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.—Psalm 118:8 (KJV)
It happens in life. People let us down, break promises, and make mistakes. The good news is that God will never fail you. He is always faithful. Your connection to Him grows through prayer. When you are thinking about the future, be sure to plan more time for your spiritual life. The more energy you put into your relationship with Him, the easier it is to discern His will and recognize His presence.
Heavenly Father, I don’t know what this new year will bring—but You do. Awaken me to Your possibilities, each and every day.
