A New Start, A New Heart

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.—Ezekiel 36:26 (NIV)

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.” Ask yourself, “Who am I? Who do I long to be?” It is never too late to change and become the person you want to be. Challenging yourself is the key to growth. Go after the goal that seems daunting.

Lord, with You by my side, every day is a fresh start, a new opportunity to love and grow.

Turn Resentment into Prayer

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.—James 5:16 (NIV)

The more we turn to God with our sins and accept His forgiveness, the more accepting we are of forgiving others who have wronged us. Is there a person who you feel anger towards? Lift them in prayer and ask God to help you forgive.

Father God, help me release my resentment with the power of prayer.

Do a New Thing

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 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 43:18–19 (NIV)

Today is the first day of summer. As nature blooms, remind yourself that God is planting new possibilities in your life. He is watering the seeds of your hopes so they will bud into fruition. Even if you doubt change is on the horizon, trust that there is always a new season ahead.

Faithful God, thank You for the hope of new beginnings, achieving new goals, making new friends and guiding me on this exciting and blessed life.

The Value of Your Possessions

Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.—Ecclesiastes 5:19 (NIV)

It’s been said that a person’s spirituality is affected by how they feel about their possessions. When you view your belongings as gifts from God, and share what you have with others, you develop a deeper relationship with Him.

Lord, guide me to see that the value of my possessions lies in how much I share what I have with others.

A White Stone with a New Name

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.—Revelation 2:17 (NIV)

In this verse, victorious believers are promised a white stone with a new name. Many interpret this Scripture to mean that Jesus knows you and all the trials that you have endured. One day, He will give you a new name that represents your true spirit and faithfulness.

Lord, thank You for knowing and loving me.

Expect the Extraordinary

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”—Mark 1:17 (NIV)

In this verse, the miraculous happened; the ordinary became extraordinary. A normal day was transformed as fishermen became disciples. Jesus called these men to pick up and leave their nets and become “fishers of men.” What is Jesus calling you to do?

Lord, I am ready to serve You.

True Light

And the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord. Ezekiel 10:4 (ESV)

Do you give light to others that are sitting in the darkness? When you see other people embracing dark thoughts, do you illuminate their mindset so that they see the good and get back on the right path?

Almighty God, I long to glorify You and bring Your light to those wrapped in darkness.
