Galatians 5:16: Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Holy God, sometimes we become confused and begin to think that we overcome the sin in our lives by sheer willpower. We try to stop the behaviors that displease You in our own strength and experience failure after failure. We wake each day to a battle we cannot win on our own. We become frustrated and sometimes give up, forgetting that the ability to overcome comes from Your power that is gracio

Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Father God, we hear You calling us to moments of stillness and rest before You. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of life, the turmoil all around us, and the dangers that sometimes loom so large, You tell us to “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). In other words, we should seek rest in Your will and acknowledge You as the sovereign God

Romans 8:28-29 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Thank You, Lord, for calling us out of darkness into Your marvelous light. Many of us can remember a time when we didn’t know You personally and didn’t live accordi

ZEPHANIAH 3:17 The LORD your God is with you; He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Heavenly Father, today we come to You with open and honest hearts—asking, seeking, knocking, and trusting that You hear us. Teach us to be intentional about drawing near to You in the middle of full schedules, sickness, family troubles, and the many other demands of life. Help us to release what weigh

2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Gracious and Holy God, You have poured so much into our lives. One of the simplest and most powerful ways we honor You is by letting those blessings overflow into the lives of others. Yo

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-4 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;… Heavenly Father, we make so many decisions throughout our lives, often without knowing where they will lead. We wonder how the ch

James 5:16b The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth muc Heavenly Father, at times life feels overwhelming. There are seasons when grief, uncertainty, and hardship seem to come at us like a mighty flood. In those moments, we search for comfort, yet it often seems out of reach. We look for answers that make sense and solutions we can understand, but they are nowhere to be found. Friends, family, and even experts can’t provide the peace or direction our hearts l

Peter 5:7: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Father God, please help us remember that many of the things we worry about are not as overwhelming as they first appear. Too often, we spend our time thinking about what might happen instead of trusting You with what is happening right now. Help us to keep our eyes on You and rest in the knowledge that You are at work, even when we cannot see it. As we place our concerns in Your hands, fill our hearts with peac

Philippians 3:5-12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Father God, a lot of us spend so much time trying to cover up the parts of ourselves we don’t

Genesis 12:1-2. The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
