Fill Me with Your Spirit
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?—Psalm 42:2 (KJV)
Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). If you feel like something is missing in your life, a hunger in your heart that you can’t seem to satisfy, the emptiness may be a spiritual one. Devote your energy to deepening your relationship with Christ.
Lord, You are the center of my life. Fill me with Your spirit!

A Good Night Every Night
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 NIV
Getting more sleep ranks in the top ten of New Year’s resolutions. Here’s a simple tip to help you have a restful night. Before you go to sleep, commit your soul to God’s care. Pray the Lord’s Prayer, followed by intercessions for others and lastly, any petitions for yourself.
Heavenly Father, fortify me each night with Your peace. Watch over me, bless my house and my loved ones. Help me rest in Your promise.

Infinite Possibility
For to the snow He says, “Fall on the earth.”—Job 37:6 ESV
When you consider the miracle that no two snowflakes are exactly the same, and that God’s greatness goes beyond what He has created you realize nothing is beyond His power. Absolutely nothing! He is limitless.
Heavenly Father, You are miraculously working in each of us. I am in awe of Your greatness. Because of You, nothing is impossible!

Stay on the Holy Highway
And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it.—Isaiah 35:8 NIV

Lord, keep me moving forward spiritually. Help me keep on the path to holiness.

Shine for Jesus
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.—Matthew 5:16 NIV
One of the purest forms of devotion is service—doing God’s work on earth. By bringing happiness, peace and security to others, we bring His heavenly traits to earth. When we serve others, we serve Christ.
Our Heavenly Father, help me to live so that not only do I have strength and joy myself, but that I may help others and build Your kingdom on earth.

Look to Yourself
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.”—Matthew 7:1 ESV
Jesus speaks against judging someone while overlooking your own faults. Instead of criticizing another, explore your motivation. Are you being helpful or hurtful? The Bible tells us only God is able to judge someone’s heart.
Heavenly Father, help me to steer away from judgement. Help me to love with my whole heart.
