Do Something That Scares You

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” Doing one thing every day might be too daunting to begin with, but ask yourself, when was the last time you stretched beyond your comfort zone? If nothing comes to mind, you are due to seek out something a little scary. Be strong and courageous.

Lord, help me stretch beyond the safe boundaries that I have created. I know You are with me wherever I go.

Give Thanks

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.—Psalm 92:1 (KJV)

Brother David Steindl-Rast wrote, “The root of joy is gratefulness … It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.” Think of three things you are grateful for right now and feel the joy spread in your heart.

Heavenly Father, may the light of gratitude shine in my life.

Balm for a Restless Heart

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.—Psalm 34:10 (NIV)

If you are feeling restless or unfulfilled, ask God to help reveal what is missing in your life. Perhaps you are being called to be of service, adopt a rescue animal or reach out to a neighbor in need. Pray on it.

Lord, help me fill in the missing pieces by being of service and bringing Your light to the world.

Serve Humbly

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.—Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

Being of service to others helps you grow closer to God. When you give your time and energy to another in need, not for your own gain but in selfless service, you experience something greater than yourself. You allow God’s love to flow through you.

Lord, I am ready to humbly serve You. Show me where I am needed.

Sing God’s Praises

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.—Psalm 40:3 (NIV)

Our struggles, our successes, even our failures—these are not our song. God is our song. When you make time for Him, putting your faith first—you experience a new song, a new way of life, a symphony of His beauty.

Heavenly Father, help us to live joyously, to celebrate the song in our heart and rejoice always.

Sing God’s Praises

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.—Psalm 34:1 (KJV)

The above verse directs you to do something that sounds difficult: Sing God’s praises always, in good times and in bad. Sing His praises even when you feel downcast. Voicing His praises can be the catalyst—the glimmer of hope—that turns your mood around.

Heavenly Father, how amazing is it that when I sing Your praises, You uplift my spirit.

Your Conscience Is a Gift

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.—Isaiah 30:21 (ESV)

When your conscience bothers you, do you tune it out, or do you pay attention? Think of your conscience as a gift, your personal inner guide—helping to direct your actions and shape your behavior. God often uses your conscience to alert you when your choices may not be in your own best interest.

Lord, help me to see my conscience as a spiritual tool that helps me grow closer to You.

Embrace the New

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.”—Genesis 12:1 (NIV)

The Lord was with Abram when he called him out of Ur and He is with you when you are starting a new project or looking to make a change in your life. You have an invitation from Christ to move forward and ahead.

Heavenly Father, when I cling to sameness—remind me that I am here to live my best life—one that rises to challenges and grows stronger and more meaningful each and every day.

Embrace the New

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 43:19 (ESV)

Try something new. Instead of being a creature of habit and eating the same foods, spending time on the same hobbies, branch out. Travel a different route, read a different book genre. Be adventurous, you never know what new favorite thing God will invite into your life.

Heavenly Father, there are so many amazing things to experience—help me to branch out and try new things each day.

Amazed by Prayer

After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”—Matthew 17:24 (NIV)

Have you ever been amazed by God’s answer to prayer, much like Peter must have been when he found the exact amount of money he needed inside the mouth of a fish? God is an awesome provider—He gives generously, and sometimes in ways that delight us with His remarkable and miraculous answers to prayer.

Faithful God, thank You for the surprising ways You show how much You care.
