Daily Devotions

A daily devotional is a trusted guide, and it is an invitation to nurture your spiritual life. Devotionals include a Bible verse, a reflection on that verse, and usually a short prayer. They can be inspiring, comforting or even humorous. When you make time to read a daily devotion, you make space for your soul. A daily devotional offers a chance to take a break from the busy world and connect with God. Let your daily devotions lead your spiritual life forward.

A Spirit of Love and Sound Mind

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
You have been given the power and love of God to help you overcome anxiety. When you feel burdened by the weight of fear, ask for His loving presence to help you find peace and confidence. Pray for the courage to step out of your comfort zone, knowing that He is with you.
Lord, help me remember that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that worries do not define my worth.

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.

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.

Boundless Wisdom

To all perfection, I see a limit, but your commands are boundless.—Psalm 119:96 (NIV)

Lord, teach me to rely on Your strength rather than my own and to trust You will guide me in all I do.

The Reason to Rejoice

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!—Philippians 4:4 (NIV)
The Apostle Paul is saying that our joy should not depend on our external circumstances, which can change and be unpredictable, but rather on our relationship with God, which is unchanging and constant. We should approach problems with a positive and joyful attitude rooted in our faith in God. When we do this, we can experience the peace and comfort that comes from knowing God is with us and in control.
Lord, help me be joyful in all circumstances, focusing on You and trusting in Your righteousness.

Righteousness by Faith

Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.—Genesis 15:6 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of Abram, who believed in You despite his doubts and fears and trusted in Your promises even when they seemed impossible.
