Look Inward

Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.—Matthew 7:5 (NKJV)

It’s been said that many of the flaws you find in others are your own flaws reflected in them. When you are being judgmental of someone in your life, look to yourself. Ask God to show you the “plank in your eye” and to to help you focus on your own spiritual healing and growth.

Heavenly Father, help me be a better person. Show me the plank in my eye.

Live by His Word

God said to Moses, “I’m going to rain bread down from the skies for you. The people will go out and gather each day’s ration. I’m going to test them to see if they’ll live according to my Teaching or not.”—Exodus 16:4 (MSG)

God promises to provide all that you need. Your role is to follow His teaching and live by His Word. When you have doubt or are tempted to turn away from His guidance and wisdom, turn to this verse and pray. Have faith. Believe.

Dear Lord, help me be a steward of Your word. I want to live my best life with You by my side.

Angels Surround Us

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”—Judges 6:12 (NIV)

Throughout the Bible, God’s heavenly angels bring divine messages that help rescue someone in need. Angels continue to be around us, protecting and guiding God’s people. In Psalm 91:11 (NKJV), the psalmist assures us, “For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.”

Lord, thank You for sending Your angels to watch over me.

Now Is the Time

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.—John 15:11 (ESV)

Do you find yourself thinking, I’ll be happy when… rather than taking a moment and filling your heart with joy right now? Because of your faith in the Lord, you do not have to wait for circumstances to change. Because of Him, your joy can begin right now.

Loving Father, because I trust in You, my heart is filled with joy.

Clear Your Conscience

How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.—Hebrews 9:14 (ESV)

Is your conscience troubling you over a deed, thought or action that causes you shame? Pray and open up to God. Instead of burying your wrongdoing, confess it and be free. Thank Him for His forgiveness and unending mercy.

Holy Lord, purify my conscience. Help me release my guilt over my transgressions.

God’s Spiritual House

You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.—1 Peter 2:5 (ESV)

God is the Master Builder, and you are a living stone that is a piece of His foundation. Your role, according to Peter, is to declare the praises of His work and glorify Him in all that you do. Take that to heart: You are a living rock in God’s spiritual house.

Dear Lord, I am honored to be part of Your wondrous structure and I praise You for Your glorious work.

Give God Your Dreams

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.—Luke 18:1 (NIV)

Do you have a dream that, despite your best effort, has not come to fruition? Turn to Scripture and surrender your deepest desires to God. Lay them at His feet and ask Him to take away anything that is not meant for your life.

Lord, align my mind and heart with Your plan.
