The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.—Proverbs 27:9 (NLT)

God Has Not Forgotten You

Remember these things, Jacob, for you, Israel, are my servant. I have made you, you are my servant; Israel, I will not forget you.—Isaiah 44:21 (NIV)
Do you sometimes doubt that God has a good plan for you? Perhaps the winter doldrums have made it difficult to have faith in His unseen hand. If you feel lost, as if God has forgotten about you, remind yourself that He is preparing you for great things. He is always working things out for your good.
Lord, help me to be patient, to believe in Your work behind the scenes. Guide me to do my part in fulfilling Your plan.

Let Your Suffering Refine Your Spirit

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.—Matthew 11:28–30 (NIV)
God doesn’t want you to hide in suffering. When you are feeling burdened, instead of shouldering the load on your own, turn to God. He wants you to turn your pain over to Him. He promises to give you the strength you need.
God, when I need rest and reassurance, fill me with Your peace.

Welcome Fear

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
When you give in to fear and allow it to hold you back, you lose a piece of yourself. Acting out of fear is never the answer to living a faith-filled life. Instead of avoiding or recoiling, ask God to help you welcome the feeling of fear—knowing that you can move past it with His help.
Lord, because of You I can courageously look forward to tomorrow.

In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.—Philippians 4:8 (GNT)
Norman Vincent Peale echoed the sentiment in the above Scripture when he wrote “We are either destroyed or made whole by the kind of thoughts we think.” What type of thoughts are you entertaining? The next time you feel overcome with worry or dark thinking, turn to God and bring heavenly light into your life!
