Your Pathway to Miracles

He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.—Amos 4:13 (NIV)

Augustine of Hippo is quoted as saying, “Miracles are not contrary to nature but only contrary to what we know about nature.” Do you limit your prayers to earthly thinking? The same Almighty God who created the oceans and wind, hears your prayers. Tell Him your concerns; believe in His infinite power and wondrous abilities to miraculously answer your needs.

Great Creator, I believe that nothing is impossible because of You.

Decide in Your Heart

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)

Everyone has probably heard the phrase, “It’s the thought that counts.” This time of year, be mindful of its sentiment and intentionally approach others with joyful attitudes—and actions. Something as simple as letting someone get in line in front of you at the store or phoning a friend can spread holiday cheer.

Dear God, help me to be thoughtful and encouraging so that I bring joy to others. The more I give, the more blessed I feel.

No Need to Worry

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?—Matthew 6:27 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, I want to be fully present and awake to experience the beauty in every moment of this special time of the year.
