Begin the Year with Gratitude

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.—1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT

Gratitude is a life changer. When facing a situation that seems confusing or upsetting, thank God for His understanding. Praise Him for His wisdom and guidance. By being thankful you reinforce your understanding of God’s goodness.

Heavenly Father, I can endure any situation because I know You are working on my behalf. I’m safe in Your hands.

Think Good Thoughts

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

During this time of year when the nights are longer, the world can seem like a dark place. “Change your thoughts and you change your world,” Norman Vincent Peale advised—much like Paul urges in the Scripture above. Bring heavenly light into your life! Fill your mind with good thoughts.

Dear God, when I’m downcast, You have the power to turn my darkness into Light.

In God’s Care

My child, don’t reject the LORD’s discipline, and don’t be upset when He corrects you.—Proverbs 3:11 NLT

As the year comes to an end, you may be reviewing your life and measuring your progress on personal goals. Maybe you’ve suffered a setback or aren’t where you hoped you would be.

Heavenly Father, help me continue to grow. Lead me to be my best today and every day.
