When the Bible Is Hard to Understand

Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?” Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.—Luke 24:25–27 (NLT)

Are there parts of the Bible you’ve been avoiding because they seem too difficult to understand? Instead of skipping Scripture that has you puzzled, turn to a confusing passage and ask God to reveal His truth to you. Pray for Him to show Himself in the words.

Heavenly Father, I know You want to explain Yourself to me. Speak to my heart. Reveal Your truth.

But God…

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

Throughout the Bible, there are dozens of verses with the words, “but God.” Each is a testament of His power to intervene and make the impossible, possible, to give strength where there was weakness. If you find yourself making excuses in your life, thinking, I want to do this, but… add God to your statement invite His power to overcome your doubt.

Lord, sometimes I feel powerless, but then I remember You are with me. You make all things possible.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:7 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, because of You and Your word, unhealthy thoughts lose the power to control me.

Lean on God

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.—Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)

At one time or another, we are all guilty of trusting ourselves and pleading a case for why we want what we want instead of surrendering to God’s will. If you find yourself in this situation remind yourself that you don’t always know what is best for you, but God does.

Heavenly Father, I trust Your vision, Your wisdom and Your plan is always best for me.

Nurture Peace in Your Heart

So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”—Hebrews 13:6 (NIV)

Lord, help me to grow my faith, nurture my sense of well-being and know deep in my heart that You will take care of me.

A Small Simple Gift

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)

Some days, despite being aware of God’s many blessings—health, family, a roof over your head—you might still feel a little down. The remedy is simple. Look for a simple gift: the sunrise, someone’s laughter, a flower peeking out from the sidewalk and let yourself feel truly grateful for having noticed it.

Heavenly Father, Giver of all good gifts, thank You for the many ways You bless me.

Joy in Uncertain Times

You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.—Psalm 4:7 (ESV)

Uncertainty, like change, is a word that makes most people uncomfortable. We want to know what is coming and often make the mistake of thinking we can’t relax or be joyful if we don’t know what tomorrow brings. Trusting God is the cure to fearing the unknown. When your faith is strong you can celebrate right now, trusting the future is in His hands.

Heavenly Father, my joy doesn’t depend on my circumstances, it depends on You.

Instruments of Grace

They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to Him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in Him.—1 Chronicles 5:20 (NIV)

God has given you instruments of faith: prayer, unselfishness and love that will guide you through any problem. When you live your life guided by faith and doing what is best for a greater purpose, then everything else falls into place. You will no longer struggle with what to do, or what to believe—you will simple live in God’s grace.

Dear God, when I let go of myself and see my life from a spiritual perspective, I live fully and freely.

The Blessing of Loneliness

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness.—Malachi 3:3 (NIV)

When you feel alone, turn to God. Use your loneliness as a tool to refine your spirit. Allow God to help you let go of self-centered thoughts and look toward His grace. Forgive whatever circumstance has you feeling lonely and reach out to experience the blessing of His love.

Dear Lord, You are love; when I concentrate on building my relationship with You, all my worldly relationships fall into place.
