Little Things

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’”—Matthew 25:21 (ESV)

The parable of the good and faithful servant stresses the value of little things. Sometimes we think in larger-than-life terms—what grand gesture can I do to show my faith? But this parable reminds you that it is the little things that “Enter into the joy of the Master.”

Dear Lord, guide me to the little things that I can do to please You.

Above and Beyond

Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us.—Ephesians 3:20 (HCSB)

Often Jesus blesses us with more than we can even imagine. As humans, we limit our thinking to the rules of this world, but God’s ways are miraculously limitless. Open your mind and your prayers to His infinite command. Trust that His plan is best.

Heavenly Father, You go above and beyond all that I ask. You work in ways that I could never have imagined.

Create a Clean Heart

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.—John 15:3 (NIV)

If you have any guilt or heaviness in your heart Jesus Christ can help you. Ask Him to comfort you as you make a fresh start, clear out any resentment and guilt, let go of anger—and in any situations where you can’t forgive yourself—ask God to remove your sin.

Heavenly Father, fill my heart with Your healing love.

Release Your Worries

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.—Matthew 10:28 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “If you worry, you are a worrier because your mind is saturated with worry thoughts. To counteract these, mark every passage in your Bible that speaks of faith, hope, and courage.” Instead of focusing your energy on your problems, focus on God and His Word.

God of Heaven, sometimes I need help focusing on You and not my fears. Keep my mind fixed on what is good and true—Your Word.

Let Go of the Past

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.—Psalm 139:16 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale advised, “Let go of the past and look for God’s direction for a blessed future.” God is with you and watching out for you every day. Be still and receive the gift of His love. Trust that your future is in His hands.

Lord, I believe in my heart that all things work together for good.

The Importance of Childlike Faith

And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”—Matthew 18:3–4 (NIV)

When life seems out of control, instead of trying to figure out why something has happened or how God allowed it—turn your questions to trust and your frustration into faith. Instead of driving yourself crazy trying to fix things, let go of your grip and put your focus on generating genuine childlike faith.

Lord God, help me set aside the worries and distractions in my heart so that I can fully feel Your presence.

His Grace Is Sufficient

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)

As Apostle Paul explains in the above Scripture, God’s power works when we are weak. When you need strength for a challenge, invite Him to turn your shortcomings into an opportunity to boost your faith and experience His power.

Heavenly Father, Your grace is more than sufficient for me.

God’s Heavenly Light

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”—John 8:12 (RSV)

As we enter into autumn and the shortening of daylight hours, it is the perfect time to turn our focus to the Light of the world. Thank God for His many blessings and ask for His guidance in how you might help spread His great light to those around you.

Dear Lord, when the world seems to be getting darker— help us hold fast to Your bright love.

Right Your Wrongs

The appetite of the lazy craves, and gets nothing, while the appetite of the diligent is richly supplied.”—Proverbs 13:4 (NRSV)

God’s Word has a way of honing in to your weaknesses and helping you strengthen your resolve. He knows that change can be uncomfortable, and it takes bravery and strength to overcome cravings and do the right thing.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me right now as I am and guiding me to make good and important changes in my life.

Be an Encourager

“Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the Lord heard this.—Numbers 12:2 (NIV)

In the above verse, when Miriam and Aaron witnessed God using Moses, they were jealous. Praising others and being truly happy for another’s spiritual or natural gifts can be difficult. But when you recognize that your work and your relationship with God is equally important, you can truly appreciate the blessings of others and be positive about their achievements.

Dear Lord, when I feel envious of another, please guide my focus back to You and the work that You have given me to do.

God invites you to come to Him and He will restore and replenish your energy. He will refocus your mind and heart. He will satiate your weary soul and you will awake feeling comforted and loved.

Dear God, help me to release my burdens and worries to You. Fill my weary soul with your perfect peace.

You Are Capable of Change

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.—1 Corinthians 15:51 (KJV)

Pastor A. W. Tozer wrote, “Human nature is not fixed, and for this we should thank God day and night! We are still capable of change. We can become something other than what we are.” Because of God, we can change our thinking, change our actions and change our lives.

Dear Lord, thank You for the circumstances that have led me to become a better person, to grow my love for others and my love for You.
