Be Made Whole

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.—Matthew 14:36 (KJV)

This verse is a beautiful reminder that all it takes to feel complete is to reach out and touch God. Even if it’s only the hem of His garment, if your desire is real, you will be made perfectly whole. You’ll no longer be defeated by your fears or feel confused by inner conflict. You will be at peace.

Dear Lord, I reach out to You today for healing and help on this journey. I long to be perfectly whole.

Let the Spirit Lead

…For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.—Luke 12:12 (NIV)

Do you have a fixed idea of what the future holds? Instead of having your mind set on your plans, be open to what the Holy Spirit is conveying. Be attentive to opportunities He will bring your way. Is there someone whose burden you might lessen? Keep your eyes and your heart open!

Heavenly Father, today, make me aware of how I can best serve You.

Practice Stillness in God’s Presence

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”—Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

Sometimes the most productive prayer times can be as simple as quietly sitting with God, being still and feeling His presence. Like good friends enjoying the moment—words aren’t necessary. Savor the silence.

Lord, I sometimes forget the importance of being still. Thank You for these precious times where You grace me with silence that renews my mind.

Navigate Life’s Challenges

God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. “For in him we live and move and have our being.” As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’”—Acts 17:27-28 (NIV)

If your life feels out of control, find a quiet place and take several deep breaths. Focus on what is going on and visualize God in the situation with you. Feel His love and strength.

Dear Lord, You are my Savior, my wise Counselor, guiding me to make the right choices and easing my worries so that I can calmly and confidently navigate through life’s challenges.

Lord God, shine your heavenly light upon me. Guide me to peace, happiness and contentment.

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.—2 Samuel 22:17 (NIV)

God’s Little Instructions

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”—Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)

God’s Instructions aren’t always big, momentous life-changing moments. Often He gives us seemingly small instructions, little nudges to point us in the right direction. God is speaking to you all the time. Incline your ear and heart to His words.

Dear Lord, I want to hear and follow Your instructions big and small. Fulfill Your work in my life.

Who Directs the Weather?

For to the snow He says, “Fall on the earth.”—Job 37:6 (ESV)

The weather is often talked about, forecasted and monitored, and yet, how much do we really think about the mystery and majesty of the One who directs the snow? The next time you experience a stunning snowstorm reflect on God’s complete control over nature—a greatness beyond our comprehension.

Lord, I am filled with awe and adoration at the wonders of Your creation.

Build a Foundation of Hope

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.—Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

In the above verse hope is believing without a doubt that God always keeps His promises. Strong faith is the foundation for a hope-filled future. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.”

Merciful Savior, I have no doubt that Your Word is true. When I need a boost of hope, I will lift my mind up to You and let faith pour down on me.

Praise the Moment

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.—1 Chronicles 16:11 (NIV)

Some days seem too busy to pray, yet prayer is possible anywhere and anytime. When you have a spare moment, turn your attention to God. Praise Him for the blessing of right now. Praise the beauty of the ordinary: the warmth of the sun, the beauty of the snow. Breathe in His grace and breathe out gratitude.

Dear Lord, today I will pause and notice Your blessings. I will eagerly and graciously receive Your gifts.
