Face Uncertainties

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”—Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
When the future feels uncertain and you become anxious about the days ahead, remember that God is in control. He has a plan for you and has promised to work all things together for your good. Find peace, and rest in Him. Trust His plan.
Almighty God, when I am filled with uncertainty, center my heart on You.

The Abundance of His Provision

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.—Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV)
As the leaves change and the nights grow longer, reflect on God’s faithfulness in the changing cycles of life. Thank Him for the season’s harvest and for the abundance of His provision. Be mindful of the richness of this time of year, and use it to reflect on the blessings that God has given you.
Dear Lord, may my faith grow stronger each day, and may I always seek Your will above my own.

Let Go of Jealous Thoughts

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.—Galatians 5:26 (NIV)
Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” If you envy others’ successes, ask God to help you see yourself and others through His eyes and be content with what He has given you. With His help, you can find the love and strength to celebrate everyone’s successes genuinely without envy, and enjoy the freedom that comes from surrendering your jealousy in exchange for His peace.
Lord, thank You for Your grace and mercy, which enables me to overcome all things through Your Son, Jesus Christ.

God Is with You

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.—Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)

Forgive One Another and Yourself

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.—Matthew 6:14 (NIV)
Forgiveness is essential to your faith and helps you live a healthy, balanced life. Instead of letting anger or resentment tarnish your spirit, reflect on your mistakes, acknowledge your faults and apologize to those you hurt. Ask God to help you embody His forgiveness.

Bless the Animals

So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.—Genesis 1:21 (NIV)
Today, many Christians celebrate the Blessing of the Animals. This tradition, attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, is inspired by the belief that all creatures are created by God and worthy of love and prayer. Take a moment and pray for comfort and healing to all of His creatures that need to feel His love.
Lord, bless all the animals and the humans who care for them. May they be patient, kind and compassionate, and find joy in helping Your creatures.

Fully Face Your Fear

The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?—Psalm 27:1 (NIV)
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” Do you avoid fear at all costs, wasting time and energy running away from your worries? Instead of sidestepping the problem, know that with God at your side, you can fully face and feel your fear. You have the power and are free to walk through your worries and move beyond what is blocking you.
Dear Lord, fill me with Your peace which surpasses all understanding, and help me remain calm and centered on You in the face of fear.
