Good Change Ahead

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.—James 1:5 (NIV)

Have you prayed and prayed about something and feel that God isn’t answering you? Sometimes God uses your prayers in unexpected ways to help you grow. If you are struggling with feeling that God is letting you down, open your heart to Him. Let Him know you are willing to change.

Dear Lord, grant me the courage to change my life for the better, even when it means accepting situations I wish were different. Bless me with the willingness to learn and adapt.

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.

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)
