Walk with Jesus
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”—Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
Jesus promises that He will provide light and guidance when your life takes unexpected turns. Though you may not always understand why you must go through a difficult challenge, you can trust that His continuing presence will lead you through.
Lord God, when I feel lost, take my hand and guide me through the darkness.

Call Forth the Riches of Everyday Life
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.—Psalm 30:11 (NIV)
Poet Rainer Maris Rilke said, “If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.” Make today the day when you call forth the riches of everyday life. Instead of being overwhelmed by your to-do list, move something that will bring you pleasure to the top of your list.
Heavenly Father, I fall into the rut of believing I am stuck or not living my best life. Help me to recognize that with Your help, I can make the best of every situation.

Prayer of Relinquishment
On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.—Psalm 138:3 (ESV)
Catherine Marshall said, “When you relinquish everything to God, you stop commanding and demanding God to do things for you. As long as you keep telling God what to do, He will honor your free will and will not violate it even to answer your prayer.”
Lord, I truly and completely surrender my problem to You. I need faith right now to see blessings instead of fears. Thank You for Your promises and provision!

Tune into God’s Blessings
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.—Colossians 1:16-17 (ESV)
It’s easy to get caught up in your surroundings—by looking at your cell phone or engaging in social media—and to almost forget about the beautiful world all around you. Today, instead of blurring out the background of your life, tune in and notice God’s awesome gifts, like the blooming flowers and chirping birds.
Lord, You have given me all I need to live a joyful life. I rejoice in the beauty of Your blessings.

The Wisdom of Not Knowing
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.—Proverbs 1:5 (ESV)
It is okay to not know everything. To not know what you want, or how to make things better. When you say, “I don’t know,” it opens the door to finding out, to thinking and discovering, to praying for an answer. So the next time you feel foolish or confused because you don’t know, step back and wait, be patient. Ask for God’s help.
Heavenly Father, I don’t have all the answers but I know that You do. Teach me to live in Your wisdom.

Healing for Yourself and Loved Ones
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

Compassionate God, You know exactly what I need when I call on You for help. Heal our hurts and make us whole.

When You Stumble
As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”—Romans 9:33 (NIV)
In any given situation, it’s easy to focus on what God should be doing—rather than accept what He is actually doing. If we seek God through our own works we will stumble, but if we faithfully depend on Him we will experience righteousness and salvation.
Our Heavenly Father, I surrender myself into Your hands. Through faith and humble dependence upon You I will not stumble.
