Let His Spirit Lead

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.—Matthew 7:7 (NIV)

Wherever you are in your faith journey, know that God is right there with you. In the middle of life’s challenges, He can help. He will meet you in the moment and lead you in the right direction.

Heavenly Father, I want to be a person of the Word, walking in wisdom, trust and love.

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.

Rely on God’s Help

“When I want to do good, I don’t; and when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway.”—Romans 7:19 (TLB)

Is there an inner battle that you are carrying alone? Turn to God to help you overcome your problem. He knows your personal struggles. His grace will help strengthen your confidence and give you hope and faith to help you carry on.

Lord of Mercy, forgive me for trying to handle everything on my own. I am ready for Your help.

God’s Wondrous Works

And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.—2 Kings 6:17 (NIV)

In the above verse, the servant’s eyes are opened to another realm, and he sees God’s mighty army protecting them. As your faith grows, your “spiritual vision” will become more transparent, and you will be able to clearly see God working in your life and the lives of those around you.

Lord, help us to have spiritual eyes so we may see Your wondrous works.

Less Judging, More Loving

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.—Proverbs 3:3 (NIV)

It happens to the best of us—we make rush judgments about people based on wrong information or an unpleasant first impression. The next time you are about to discount someone, reflect on this verse and focus on seeing Christ in them.

Dear God, help me to be less critical and more loving. Guide me to approach others with compassion, patience and love.

The Joy of Faith

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.—Psalm 30:5 (NIV)

What brings you joy? Is it a beautiful sunrise? The laughter of a loved one? Today, take a moment and reflect on the many gifts of grace that God has given you. Often we focus so much on our worries that we neglect to see what is certain and constant—His many blessings. Remind yourself that no matter what you are going through, as Psalm 30 promises, “joy comes in the morning.”

Heavenly Father, my joy is knowing that I can trust Your promises to always lift my spirits.

Grow in Grace

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)

Spring is a season of growth. The budding flowers are beautiful proof of nature’s resilience. Each bloom is a reminder that life is filled with transition. If you are experiencing a challenging time, trust that it is temporary and that every moment in your life serves a purpose in God’s plan—an opportunity for growth.

Heavenly Father, help me remember that hard times help me grow in grace.

Strength for the Day

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

God wants you to have peace even when peace seems impossibly far away. When you need courage or help with a problem, turn to Him. He will give you the strength to face the day ahead. He will comfort you with His peace.

Lord, when I need a boost of courage, fill me with Your power. Bless me with peace of mind and heart.

Fix Yourself First

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.—Matthew 7:2 (NIV)

Before you judge someone, take a moment and reflect on how you respond to your own shortcomings. Do you work on improving yourself by being more accepting, less anxious and more cheerful? Pray for God to help you fix your own faults.

Lord, guide me to place my focus and efforts on improving myself.

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.

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.

Think About These Things

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.—Philippians 4:8 (NRSV)

When you are struggling to be positive and find yourself complaining, doubting and being just plain difficult, turn to God and ask for the Holy Spirit to help change your mindset. Focus on Christ and the power of His wisdom and joy.

Heavenly Father, because of You, every day can be a good day.
