Turn to His Word

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.—Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
Hand your temptations, your worries and your burdens over to God—and leave them there. Trust Him to manage your affairs and to help you live your life recognizing your blessings and looking forward to the gifts He has planned for you. To know God’s will, turn to His Word.
Dear Lord, it’s easy for me to get lost in my own worries. If this happens, guide me back home to You.

Power to the Weak

Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.—Matthew 9:22 (NIV)
Charles Spurgeon said , “We cannot rely on ourselves, for we have learned by bitter experience the folly of self-confidence. We are compelled to look to the Lord alone. Blessed is the wind that drives the ship into the harbor. Blessed is the distress that forces us to rest in our God.” With God’s help, you can do more than you could ever do alone. When you need His assistance, reach out to Him in prayer.
Lord, I am weak, but You are strong.

Have Faith

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is— His good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)
Life can be frustrating. Sometimes we suffer an injustice that leaves us asking, “Why did this happen?” Instead of straining to see meaning or to try and figure out what’s happening when you’re in the eye of the storm, recognize that wisdom and growth takes time. Perspective is everything. Have faith and trust God’s plan.
Heavenly Father, help me to let go of needing to understand everything. Help me to stop asking why and just accept what is.

Have Faith

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.—Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
In the above verse, the Bible defines faith as being sure of what you cannot see. When you are in the midst of a difficult time, rely on God and trust that He is working on your behalf. The more faith you have, the more you will recognize His power in your life.
Dear Lord, I have confidence in what I hope for and trust Your perfect plan.

Plant Seeds Every Day

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”—Matthew 9:37 (NIV)
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” Sometimes the simplest gesture or act of kindness can make a difference in another’s life. Ask God to help you become attentive and available to serve Him by planting seeds of love.
Lord of the harvest, I am ready to serve.

Show Unusual Kindness

The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.—Acts 28:2 (NIV)
In the above verse, the Apostle Paul experienced unusual kindness from strangers. Have you ever extended a similar kindness to someone in need? God wants you to see the full humanity and value in every person—to lend a comforting hand to those who feel lost, to be a beacon of compassion to those in the cold.
God of grace and compassion, help me to see the precious worth of every person and to be a generous stranger who extends unusual kindness.

You Are Valued

Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!—Luke 12:24 (NIV)
God sees your value and understands your physical and emotional needs. Faithfully go to Him and let Him remove your stress so that you can find rest. Nothing is too big or too small—whatever is causing you worry is exactly what He wants to resolve.
Lord, help me to remember that I am worthy of Your love and care—not because of my actions and deeds, but simply because I am here.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”—Matthew 14:27 (NIV)

The Greatest Position

Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.—Matthew 18:4 (NIV)
Max Lucado said, “Which would you prefer? To be king of the mountain for a day? Or to be a child of God for eternity?” When you depend on Jesus and trust Him with all your needs, He will fill you with reassurance and hope. Take in this truth: You are His child, in this world and beyond.
Lord, I know everything will be okay because You love me and will never leave me.

Ask Yourself

Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”—Mark 4:40 (NLT)

Feed Your Spirit

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”—John 6:35 (NIV)
The best spiritual self-care practice is devoting time to your faith journey. In the same way that you need daily nourishment to feed your body, you must spend time with Jesus to keep your spirit healthy and strong. When Jesus says, “I am the Bread of Life,” He is telling you that He can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul.
Lord, You are the manna that sustains me in the desert of my daily life.
