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)

It’s not easy feeling thankful when you are aggravated by setbacks. No matter what you face, one thing remains the same—God. He is with you through life’s big and small problems. Thank Him for being there and trust Him to see you through.

Heavenly Father, help me to see You as the One who walks with me, blessing my day and guiding me to live my life meaningfully.

God Cares

“She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, ‘You’re the God who sees me! Yes! He saw me; and then I saw him!’ That’s how that desert spring got named ‘God-Alive-Sees-Me Spring.’ That spring is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. Hagar gave Abram a son. Abram named him Ishmael.”—Genesis 16:13–16 (MSG)

There are seasons in life when it may seem that no one understands or cares. God will show up in your time of need just as He did for Hagar. When you feel unseen, He reminds you that you are in His sights. During these times Jesus gives us what we need most: Himself.

Heavenly Father, I know You see me!

The Lighter Side

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.—Job 8:21 (NIV)

Laughter and joy are great sources of strength. When you choose to see the humor in a situation by looking to the lighter side during dark times, you discover that you can find joy even in the midst of trouble.

Heavenly Father, You are the Light of the lighter side. Fill me with Your joy so that I smile easily and laugh out loud.

Grow Your Faith

And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!—Mark 4:20 (NLT)

As every gardener knows, the best seed cannot do well unless the soil is prepared. God wants us to be “good soil” so that our hearts can receive His word. Allow Him to pull the weeds that block you from His love and help you see the purpose of the struggles in your life.

Heavenly Father, I hear and accept Your Word.

Victory Over Your Problems

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.—Psalm 55:22 (KJV)

Today, write down something that is causing pain or worry in your life. Pray for relief from the problem. Resolve to take positive action if possible. Tear the paper up and toss it away. Symbolically, you will be saying goodbye to the concern, and claiming the victory God is sure to give you.

Show me Your solution, Father, and help me act accordingly.

The Source of Courage

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.—Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)

Where does courage spring from? For many, it comes from an abiding and deep trust that God is sufficient to see them through all of life’s trials. Know that with His help you can overcome any personal defeat. When the tide seems to be running against you and everything seems to be going wrong, take heart. God has not forsaken you. He never will.

Thank You, Father, for Your unconditional promise of love.

Divine Protection

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them.—Psalm 34:7 (NIV)

The Lord encamps around us. We may not even be aware of it, but He is there, always protecting us. Jesus said it Himself: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Are you facing a difficult problem? Remember that Jesus is protecting you.

Dear Lord, You are with me through thick and thin, helping me through every problem that comes my way.

A Happy Heart

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.—Proverbs 17:22 (KJV)

Are you burdened by worry? If you can let go of focusing on your problems and center your thinking on the riches that are yours as a child of God, you will live a happier, healthier life.

Lord, when I begin thinking of myself as Atlas holding up the world, I will put my trust in You.

Satisfy Your Spirit

For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.—Luke 17:21 (AKJV)

Do you find yourself thinking that if you only had this or that you’d be happy? Don’t confuse spiritual yearnings with material wants. Instead, build your faith, spend time in prayer in communion with God.

Father, speak to me in Your still, small voice.

Sing God’s Praises

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.—Psalm 40:3 (NIV)

Our struggles, our successes, even our failures—these are not our song. God is our song. When you make time for Him, putting your faith first—you experience a new song, a new way of life, a symphony of His beauty.

Heavenly Father, help us to live joyously, to celebrate the song in our heart and rejoice always.

Mother’s Love

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is His name.”—Luke 1:46-49 (NIV)

On this day when we honor all mothers, we look to the above verse. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the most beloved and revered woman in the Bible. She willingly accepted her role as the blessed mother and remained stalwart in her faith.

Dear Lord, You have done so many great things for me… most especially You have blessed me with a mother’s love.

The Bright Side of Bad Experiences

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (NIV)

Challenges have a way of transforming people. Hardship isn’t something God wants for His children, but they are a part of life. The good news is that people who rise above hard times, gain more sensitivity, more sympathy and more understanding for the problems of others.

Lord, thank You for seeing me through difficult days with grace and beauty.
