By Dianne Neal Matthews2 min read
Pray and ask Jesus what He wants to say to you.
Sing a New Song
Everything has happened just as I said it would….Tell the whole world to sing a new song to the Lord!…Join in the praise.—ISAIAH 42:9–10 CEV
God’s Whispers
Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that You, Lord, are God, and that You are turning their hearts back again.—1 Kings 18:37 (NIV)
Anger
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are.—HEBREWS 4:15 NIV
Life’s Curve Balls
The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.—Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
With Joy
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy…—JUDE 1:24 NIV
Turn Annoyance into Gratitude
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways.”—Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)
The Blessings to Come
You know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.—COLOSSIANS 3:24 NIV
Scripture for a New Start
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”—John 8:12 (ESV)
Unexpected Detours
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.—ECCLESIASTES 11:5 NIV
Snap Out of the Worry Cycle
Therefore, I say to you, don’t worry about your life, what you’ll eat or what you’ll drink, or about your body, what you’ll wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothes?—Matthew 6:25 (CEB)
