Develop Spiritual Vision

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.—Matthew 13:16 NIV

Spend time praying God’s word every day. You will be able to follow His direction and guidance more clearly, the more intimately you know Him. You’ll gain a new sense of clarity about what is important and a better understanding of what Jesus can do in your life when you see things the way He does.

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me spiritual vision so that I can see through Your eyes.

Restore the Broken

The Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!—Job 42:10 (NLT)

Sometimes life delivers unexpected blows that leave you wondering what on earth God is doing. When you feel alone in your suffering, look to Job. Despite hardship after hardship, Job trusted God’s will for His life. Surrender your desire to control everything and pray for comfort and peace. Faith opens the door for God’s restoration to begin.

Lord I surrender my worries and hurts to You. Help me have expectant faith. Help me trust Your will and Your timing.

Right Where You Belong

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

Turn to this Scripture when you feel as if God is asking you do to something out of your comfort zone. Know that God is with you. He knows your name. He knows your every move. Ask Him to help you surrender your feelings of inadequacy and let go of limiting ideas you have about yourself. Own your God-given abilities and believe that you can do anything He calls you to do.

Unlikely Heroes

Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders.—Judges 2:16 (NIV)

The Bible is filled with unlikely heroes. Often God uses less-than-perfect people to inspire us. Ruth teaches loyalty. Noah teaches trust. Paul teaches perseverance. When you think that a goal is out of reach, look to the Bible and the many examples of people living lives of heroic faith.

Heavenly Father, release the hero within me.

Divine Wisdom

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.—James 1:5 (NIV)

Each day we make thousands of decisions, from everyday choices of what to wear, or what to have for dinner, to more stressful decisions like choosing the right doctor. The best choice that you can make is to start each day choosing to lean on God’s guidance. He is your true compass. He will provide the wisdom and discernment you need.

Dear Lord, help me to seek You and rely on You alone.
