Mightily Blessed

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.—John 10:10 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Start and end every day, and in between times too, by thanking God.” Jesus gave everything so that you can live life to the fullest. Reflect on all He has done for you. Thank Him for the power of His love and presence. If you keep a prayer journal, write Him a thank-you note.

Dear Lord, I love You and need You, today and every day. Thank You for this abundant life.

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.

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.

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.

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.
