Shine His Light on Dark Thoughts
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.—Luke 9:46 NIV
In this verse, the disciples argue over who is the greatest and reveal what God really wants. Rather than boasting about personal achievements and competing with others around you, look to how you can be a vehicle for healing. Rather than wanting to be above others, look for ways that you can be of assistance.
Lord, it’s only human to want to be the best. Instead, I long to be like You, to act on love and to help others.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.—Psalm 126:5 (NIV)
