Awaken Your Spiritual Passion

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.—Romans 15:5-6 (NIV)

Do you feel passionate about your faith? Strive for the kind of longing for the Lord of the psalmist who wrote, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” (Psalm 42:1-2 NKJV) Pray that your desire to be close to Him will continue to grow.

Heavenly Father, ignite true passion for fulfilling my purpose.

Finding Light in Your Darkest Hour

How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide your face from me?—Psalm 13:1 (NIV)

When you are feeling weary and burdened about a challenge in your life, it’s okay to question God, like Daniel did, and ask, “How long?” Bring your struggles and doubts to Him in prayer—and hopefully, like David your questions will be transformed into praise.

Heavenly Father, help me to see that You are always with me. In my darkest hours fill me with Your light.

Stand Firm Against Temptation

Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.—Psalm 119:98 (NIV)

Memorizing scripture is a helpful way to fight temptation. When you know God’s Word and can apply it to your life, you are better able to protect your heart, your spirit and your values. By committing to read the Bible consistently you can surrender your personal wants for His will.

Heavenly Father, help me to put Your Word first in every decision I make and prayerfully move forward trusting You to guide me as I go.

Turn Worry into Peace

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:6–7 (NRSV)

Want to make a life-changing choice right now? Choose to trust Jesus. Lay your worry at His feet and pray for Him to help you get through whatever situation is on your mind. Give up fear and accept the peace He offers.

Dear Lord, I know in my heart You are in control. Help me to remember to choose Your peace over my worries.

To Walk in God’s Wisdom

And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.—Isaiah 11:2 (ESV)

Did you know that you have direct access to Jesus’ infinite wisdom and understanding? Instead of complaining to Him, ask for His counsel. Be still, get quiet and listen. Wait. Breathe. Trust His answer.

Heavenly Father, no matter what situation I face, I know I can persevere because of You.

Make Peace with Anger

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.—Ephesians 4:31 (NIV)

If you find yourself battling feelings of anger, ask the Lord to give you the strength to let go of your hostility. Spend time in prayer and reading the Bible. Refocus your thinking to His perspective on the situation.

Heavenly Father, help me treat others with the same kindness, compassion and forgiveness that You extend to me.

Live in God’s Presence

If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.—Psalm 139:8–10 (NIV)

God is a never-ending presence in Your life. At this very moment, you can draw near to Him simply by recognizing He is with you. Talk to Him throughout your day—ask Him about decisions, praise Him for your blessings. Staying connected with Him throughout the day keeps you in tune with His grace.

Heavenly Father, Your faithfulness never falls short. Your love never fails. Your mercy endures forever.

The Straight Path

Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.—Hebrews 12:13 (NLT)

In the above verse, straight paths prevent physical injury, but the same can be said about faith, certain “crooked” situations can trip up your thinking and cause you to go against God’s Word. Is there a habit, relationship or negative way of thinking that might be leading you spiritually astray? Straight paths lead you on the right track.

Dear Lord, help me to follow Your guidance and stay on the course You’ve charted for me.

When You Revert to Self-Reliance

Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence. It’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.—1 Corinthians 10:12 (MSG)

At one time or another, we are all guilty of making the mistake of trusting ourselves instead of God. Perhaps you make it when you hold onto a worry, or try to answer your own prayers. When you find yourself relying on yourself instead of Him, shift your focus and place your cares in His capable hands.

Lord Jesus, help me to believe and trust that You have everything under control.

Grace Brings Purpose to Mistakes

After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”—John 6:12 (NLT)

This beautiful verse reminds us that every part of you—your mistakes and problems—play a role in shaping you into an understanding, powerful person. All of your pain and failures equip you to minister to others in similar situations.

Dear Lord, help me use the leftover pieces of my past for Your purpose.
