Walk in Freedom

I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.—Psalm 119:45 (NLT)

As this verse states, the key to freedom lies in embracing and honoring God’s commands. When you hold yourself close to His wisdom and instructions, the pieces of your life fall into place and you experience true freedom.

Lord, You are the key to my freedom. Your rules protect me and enable me to feel the power and peace of aligning my life with Your instructions.

Think Good Thoughts

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.—Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

This verse emphasizes the importance of being optimistic and filling your mind with good thoughts. Replace worries, resentment or jealous thinking with “whatever is pure, lovely and admirable.” Pray for God to help you focus on inspired ideas, then ask for the ambition to put them into action.

Dear God, fill my mind with Your limitless potential!

The Grateful One

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?”—Luke 17:15–17 (NIV)

Who hasn’t read the above verse and thought, “Why did only one person thank Him for healing such a disfiguring disease?” Yet, when we take a moment and recognize the many blessings that we have forgotten to praise God for, the mistake of the nine lepers becomes more understandable. Today, thank God for your faith and the new life His Word provides.

Heavenly Father, my heart overflows with thanksgiving for Your endless forgiveness and the countless blessings You have showered on my life.

Put Your Name on It

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.—Isaiah 43:1 (ESV)

Today, personalize a Scripture verse by adding your name to God’s promises and directives. “Fear not, (insert name), for I have redeemed you.” Take His Word deep into your heart as if it is meant specifically for you, because it is!

Lord God, You have called me by name, and I am here to serve You.

God’s Work in Progress

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

God has planned your life down to the last detail. Even when you doubt His path or become distracted, you can trust that His wisdom and guidance will lead you to a life of purpose. Your experiences and everything that you are going through right now are designed to help transform you into the very best you can be.

Lord, the next time I feel that my life is not on track, remind me that I am a work in progress. I know that You have an amazing plan for me.

Be Good to Yourself

The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”—1 Kings 19:7 (NIV)

In the above verse, Elijah is feeling down and the angel of the Lord nudges him towards self-care. As you focus on doing good deeds for others in the new year, do not forget to give yourself something special. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

Dear Lord, thank You for teaching me the importance of nurturing myself and renewing my spirit by connecting with You.

Peace in God’s Word

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.—John 1:14 (NIV)

“In the beginning…” The Bible opens with this profound truth (Genesis 1:1): God fills the past, the present and the future. Yet, He took on flesh and came to live with us human beings. Why? Because His love is so deep and so strong, it never ends.

Dear God, at the start of this brand-new year, guide me to make a difference in this world for Your glory.

Anticipate God’s Blessings

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.—Deuteronomy 28:6 NIV

Heavenly Father, You provide my every need. The flow of abundance is surging in my life, blessing me in every way.

Faith You Can Depend On

Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”—Luke 1:18 NIV

When chosen by God, Zechariah questioned the angel’s message and expressed that he was too old. Faith is the unshakeable belief that God can do anything and that you are never too old, weak or fearful to join Him on the journey—wherever it may take you.

Lord, I believe in Your promises and commit myself to Your ways.
