Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him.—Ephesians 3:16–17 (NLT)
Repeat the above verse and reflect on what it means: the Lord and Savior desires to make His home in your heart. Close your eyes and imagine your love overflowing as you grow in knowledge and understanding of Him.
Heavenly Father, please guide me to open my heart to the bright glory of Your love.
