Live Your Purpose

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God— this is your true and proper worship.—Romans 12:1 (NIV)

Life’s trivial details can take up your time and impede you from reaching your goals and dreams. If you find yourself off track, ask God for His guidance. Are you in line with His will, or have you let the little things crowd Him out?

Dear Lord, You are the center of my life. Help me keep daily distractions at bay.

Indeed Only One

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)

Sit in God’s presence. Find a place away from the noise of life and spend time with Him. Give yourself permission to recharge, to let the to-do list go and sit at His feet. Making this devotional practice a habit will change the way you manage stress.

Heavenly Father, there is nothing more important than spending time with You.

The Unpredictable Path

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.—Psalm 32:8 (NIV)

When you develop your faith and trust in God, you can relax and enjoy life. Sometimes the road ahead is predictable and planned. Other times, thrilling or unnerving detours arise. When unexpected turns appear, trust His plan.

Director of my steps, take my hand and bravely lead me down life’s unpredictable path.

Stretched by Faith

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.—Psalm 25:5 (NIV)

When you pray for God to change a difficult situation, you must be willing to give yourself in any way that might help resolve it. If you have been asking Him to help with a personal problem, allow His directions to shape your actions.

Lord, I know You love me and are at work in my life for good. I am here to do my part.

Happy Father’s Day

But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.—Isaiah 64:8 (ESV)

A Way in the Wilderness

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.—Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)

No matter what loss you are facing, because of Jesus you can have hope. God promises that He can heal your pain and help you recover from grief; He is making a way for you.

Dear Lord, when I am in the wilderness of pain and suffering, guide me to anchor my faith in Your truth.

The Power of Belief

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”—Acts 16:31 (NIV)

Every day, we trust and have faith in things we cannot see. Our very beliefs determine the world we choose to live in. As Dr. Norman Vincent Peale famously said, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” What are you thinking about?

Almighty God, You have given us the freedom to choose our outlook. Help me choose wisely.

Silence Is Your Friend

The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.—Proverbs 12:18 (NIV)

Be patient with your feelings. Responding to someone in the heat of the moment can escalate situations that could be avoided with time. When your impulse is to immediately respond, wait a minute or two. Pray for your words to bring healing.

Dear Lord, lead me to use my words to mend hearts and relationships.

Love Unanswered Questions

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.—Isaiah 55:8 (NIV)

Do you have a long list of questions for when you get to heaven? Experiences and situations that you just can’t understand—the whys that are beyond your comprehension? Pray for patience. In the words of poet Rainer Maria Rilke, “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.”

Lord, when I toss and turn trying to figure everything out, help me focus on Your love in the current moment.

Better Than Life

Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.—Psalm 63:3 (NIV)

Alleluia! What a fitting and fun word to say, to sing, to embody. Today, say it out loud. Shout it out in your house, in the car, when you see a gorgeous sunset. Let it fill you like a deep cleansing breath. Praise Him for all He is!

Alleluia! Lord, my heart is bursting with praise for You!

Make New Mistakes

But those who hope in the Lord renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

Let go of the fear of making mistakes, and accept that trial and error is a part of life and learning. God is the creator, the whisperer of new ideas, inventions and relationships. Listen to Him, let go of judgment and allow yourself to make new mistakes.

Dear God, help me look ahead fearlessly with the new life I have in You.

A Beautiful Fact

Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.—Deuteronomy 4:39 (NIV)

God is with you, even when life’s chaos overshadows your focus on Him. His light shines on your life, on every single situation you face. There is no need to worry or feel vulnerable because you are not alone.

Dear Lord, security is knowing that You are in control.
