Take Control of Your Faith

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.—Colossians 4:2 (NIV)

Devote a specific time every day to connect with God. It is best to begin your morning with prayer and align yourself with God’s will. Pray that your day serves Him by showering those around you with love, understanding and kindness. Ask Him to fill your spirit with His immense love.

Lord, the Bible promises that when I seek You with all my heart, I will find You!

Upgrade Your Expectations

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

Do you ever feel too small to matter to God? If you feel God has forgotten you, turn to Scripture and tell Him that you are ready to serve Him. Pour out your worries. God wants you to know that you can do wonderful, great things for His glory. He has instilled a specific and genuine purpose in you to thrive and contribute to His kingdom.

Dear Lord, I know that I have Your power behind me and I am ready to do great things for the good of others.

Find Meaning

“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”—Ecclesiastes 1:2 (NIV)

Bible scholars have translated the above verse in many different ways, but essentially the meaning remains the same. What is the purpose of life? How should we spend our finite time on earth? Of course, the answer is to use our time to grow spiritually, to nurture our relationship with God.

Lord, so many of us spend our time searching for what we already have: a meaningful life devoted to You.

Make Trusting God a Habit

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.—Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)

When the unexpected strikes, instead of filling your mind with worry, take a deep breath and say, “I trust You, God.” Redirect your feelings of being out of control and focus on letting go and trusting the One who cares deeply for you.

Heavenly Father, instead of turning toward fear, I will turn to You. I love and trust You with all my heart.

Know His Promises

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”—Matthew 19:26 (NIV)

God is always true to His word. And in every difficult situation He is present, helping you through fearful times and guiding you to bring victory out of them.

Heavenly Father, I can have joyful expectations about the future, because I know I am safe in Your hands.

The Process of Prayer

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.—John 15:7 (NIV)

The more you pray the more you realize God’s wisdom is greater than your own and His will more important than yours. When you make prayer a regular part of your day, it becomes easier to release control of the outcomes in your life and yield to His timing and glory.

Dear God, thank You for being a loving Father to me, for always being there, empowering me with Your spirit.

Good Friday: The Message of the Cross

Forgive, and you will be forgiven.—Luke 6:37 (NIV)

Today, on Good Friday, reflect on Jesus on the cross. Despite all He had been through, He asked for mercy and forgiveness for those who crucified Him. Are you able to pray for the people who cause you pain? A true pathway to a peaceful heart is to ask God for help in showing compassion to your adversaries.

Lord, thank You for Your infinite love expressed through Christ on the cross. Lead me to be a vessel of Your healing in this hurting world.

Don’t Be an April Fool

But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?”—Luke 12:20 (NIV)

The parable about a farmer who selfishly stored his treasure is a lesson to teach us that we should never hoard God’s gifts. Don’t fall into the trap of being a materialistic fool. Focus your attention on your relationship with God, knowing His kingdom is built on more lasting things.

Give me wisdom, Lord, to fix my heart on You, for You are my greatest treasure.

Jesus wants you to follow Him, to use His teachings and example to influence your decisions and actions. When you look to God’s Word and align your behavior and goals with His goodness, anything is possible!

Heavenly Father, You are always with me and always will be, to the end of my life here into eternity.

Stay on the Right Road

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. Isaiah 35:8 (NIV)

You are progressing on the Way of Holiness. Reflect on how you feel as you move toward being more fully centered on God’s will. Take a moment and praise God for the positive changes happening in your faith and your life.

God of Truth, thank You for showing me the Highway of Holiness.

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.
