Lent Check-In

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”—Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV

During this season of Lent, make it a daily practice to check your thoughts and actions for barriers that block you from having a closer relationship with God. Let go of what is impeding you from living your best full life and go forward on the path He clears for you.

My Heavenly Father, I invite You into the places of my life where temptation lives. Release me of thoughts and things that get in the way our relationship.

Make the Most of Your Time

The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field, the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.—Psalm 103:15-16 NIV

The Bible reminds us that our days on earth are, like grass, finite. Yet, if we spend our time wisely and faithfully there is a future life beyond this one, with God. Theologian John Piper said, “Life is short. Eternity is long. Live like it.” In the busyness of life it’s easy to forget that time is precious.

Heavenly Father, guide me to live each day for Your glory.

The Holy Spirit Is At Work in Your Life

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.—John 14:26 NIV

If you are lacking a clear plan for your life, go before Jesus and pray. Let Him know that you want to make a difference in the world. Ask for the Holy Spirit to work in your life, to show you the path that you should take.

Come Holy Spirit and fill my heart with the knowledge of what is best for my life. I am open and committed to following Your guidance.

The Upside of Fear

Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.—Psalm 33:8 KJV

Living with the fear of God in your heart is a good thing. That may sound strange, but fear of God in the Bible means awe and respect. When you faithfully revere God, you always try to know His will and follow it.

Lord, I praise You! I long to be righteous and please You.

The Strength of God’s Word

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified.—Matthew 17:5-6 NIV

Can you imagine just how awesome this experience was to the disciples? This miraculous moment when God spoke must have given them the strength to persevere and start their ministries in the face of persecution. God’s Word can initiate the same powerful force within you.

Almighty God, thank You for working in my life.

Follow His Will

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”—Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Today meditate on the above verse. Release any fears and worries. Trust that God has plans for you. Ask Him to shine His grace and wisdom into your life so that you can follow the path He has prepared for you.

Heavenly Father, help me to trust what I cannot see; help me to always trust in You.

When You Feel Alone

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

You do not have to face your problems alone; you can turn to God, and He will help. Fill your mind with thoughts of Him and get in harmony with His will. Believe in the power of the verse above and know that with God as your helper there is nothing that you can’t overcome.

God, You are my Divine Helper. Fill my heart and mind with Your strength and courage.

Arguing with God

But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”—Matthew 3:14 NIV

Have you ever argued with God? Shook your fist at an outcome or a situation? Made choices that have gone against His instructions? In the above Bible verse, after listening, John ultimately agreed to follow God. The next time you don’t agree with God’s instructions, instead of arguing—listen.

Thank You, Lord, for the wisdom of Your Word. I am open and ready to hear what You need to say to me.

Fan the Flame

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.—2 Timothy 1:6 NIV

This verse is a beautiful little pick-me-up. Fan into flame the gift of God! He wants you to remember and rekindle the unique and precious gifts that you have to offer the world. Renew that spark that He placed in your heart and become the person He is calling you to be.

Lord, renew, revive and rekindle the gifts You have placed inside me. I am ready to shine!

Blessed Ash Wednesday

“…By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”—Genesis 3:19 NIV

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Traditionally, this time is devoted to preparing your heart for Easter and growing your relationship with Christ. It’s a time to practice self-discipline, to increase your prayer time and to commit to Bible study. What faith practice will you begin that will promote your spiritual growth?

Lord, as I start my Lenten journey, guide me through the wilderness of this world so that I may embrace the glorious message of new life.

The Secret to the Spiritual Dry Spell

That they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us.—Acts 17:27 ESV

Dry spells or moments when you doubt God’s presence are an important part of spiritual growth and developing your faith. God is always near. His work is intertwined in your life even when you don’t feel it. The secret to getting through a crisis of faith is to pray more. Reach out to God and know that He hears you.

God of Heaven, I am lost and overwhelmed. Bring peace to my heart and strengthen my spirit until I can feel the comfort of Your presence.
