Pray Boldly

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.—Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)

Are you struggling over a difficult situation? Have you prayed for a breakthrough but are feeling disheartened? Take your focus off of your own situation and pray boldly for another with an overwhelming circumstance. Devote your time and energy interceding for others suffering in similar ways.

When You Need Healing

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.—Psalm 127:1 (NIV)

The house of God is a house of fellowship where believers gather to worship and hear God’s word proclaimed. If you need direction in your life, strength or healing, chances are good you’ll find it where people who love God gather to worship Him.

Lord, give us the right spirit, when we enter Your house of worship. Help us shine Your light.

Created to Do Good Works

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.—Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

Dry Your Tears

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)

Elizabeth Elliot wrote, “Repeatedly throughout our lives we encounter the roadblock of suffering. What do we do with it? Our answer will determine what we can say to another who needs comfort.” When you are in pain, allow Jesus to comfort you so that you may extend His comfort to others.

Dear Lord, guide me to see the good in my situation. Help me to heal so that I may help another in need.

See Him First

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.—Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

Scripture asks that you seek God first in your life. Spend time with Him especially on days when your to-do list is long. Your life will run smoother, your decisions made easier, and your priorities will become clearer when you are rooted in faith. Everything works best with Him on your side.

Dear Lord, I put You first, today and always.

Remove the Veil

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.—2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT)

When you look in the mirror what do you see? God wants you to remove the veil so that you can see what He sees. As His follower, the more you look with His vision, the more you believe and reflect His image.

Lord, thank You for creating me in Your image. I long to see as You see and to love as You love.

The Lord Is with You

I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of His resurrection and participation in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.—Philippians 3:10–11 (NIV)

Take a moment and consider the amazing power of Christ in your life. Feel the comfort of His infinite love. Reflect on how much He suffered for you. Spend time with Him in prayer and ask Him how you can truly know Him.

Your Walk with God

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”—John 1:43 (NIV)

Jesus not only guided His disciples with His words, but with His walk. He modeled how to share the good news, how to live a life of prayer and so much more. You are also an example to others and the road you travel with Christ isn’t just for you, but for all those who follow and learn.

Help me Jesus to focus on Your ways. Help me to walk by Your truth.

From Distress to De-Stress

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.—1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

In times of distress, put your faith in action. Use this affirmation when you fear the future: I put my life in God’s hands. I will trust God’s guidance. I leave the outcome to God. Do your best and leave the outcome in God’s hands.

Heavenly Father, help me focus on You instead of my fear.

The Simple Secret

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.—Isaiah 43:2 (NLT)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale once said the secret of life is “to have faith in faith.” The Bible is filled with the message that faith conquers all; that by faith all things are achieved. If you think and act this way, the results in your life will be positively amazing.

Dear Lord, help me to shake out my doubts. Help me to have faith in faith.

Listen for God’s Voice

O Lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself.—1 Kings 18:37 (NLT)

In our world filled with distractions, it can be difficult to hear God’s voice. To bend your ear toward Him, bookend your day with prayer. Dedicate the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of every day as your special meeting time with God. Remain spiritually alert; God speaks to us in unexpected ways.

Dear Lord, I know You hear my prayers. Help me to tune my ear to hear Your answers.
