If You Feel Stuck in Your Faith
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
If your faith life is beginning to feel tedious, face it, and ask God to help you find a new way to spend time with Him. Perhaps it’s praying while you take a walk, or joining a Bible study group. Tell Him you are ready to make a change that will help you grow closer to Him.
Lord, thank You for caring enough to guide me every day.

Keep Growing
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.—Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
God created you to challenge yourself, to keep growing and learning new things. As a result, He frequently changes up your life by presenting new and exciting possibilities. Try not to fight or stress over what is to come. Instead, open your mind and heart.
Creator God, thank You for making each and every day fresh and exciting, filled with adventure.

Do You Trust Broken Cisterns?
“My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”—Jeremiah 2:13 (NIV)
In the above verse, Jeremiah points out that, people make the mistake of looking to the wrong things, “broken cisterns”, ideas or beliefs that don’t hold water and that can never truly satisfy. Jesus gives us a spring of Living Water that will never run dry.
Lord, only You can satisfy the longing in my heart.

Help for a Dark Night
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.—Psalm 63:6 (NIV)
As David hid from his enemies, he praised God for His limitless power. Even though David would endure many challenges and long nights, he still was able to rejoice and know that he was safe in God’s care.
Lord, in the words of Psalm 139:12 (NIV), “Even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.”

Live in Amazement
The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to Him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”—Mark 6:30–31 (NIV)
Today, be mindful when you rest. Take time to notice the simple blessings around you. The sounds of nature outside, the wind, the birds singing. At night, look up at the stars in the sky. Fuel your spirit by being still and paying attention to the gifts of life that so often go unnoticed.
Lord, today I will pay attention to the many ways You grace me with Your beauty.

The Source of All Peace
I reflect at night on who you are, O Lord; therefore I obey your instructions.—Psalm 119:55 (NLT)
A perfect way to calm your mind is to focus on God. Write down a few favorite Bible verses that help you think about who God really is. Quiet your mind and ask Him to help you get to know Him better. Your love and appreciation will deepen as you put effort into truly knowing God.
Lord, I want to know You personally, as my closest friend.

Receive God’s Forgiveness
Jesus said to Simon Peter… “Do you love me more than these?”—John 21:15 (NIV)
Jesus forgave Peter and offered him three chances to correct his wrongdoing. Jesus offers you the same love and forgiveness. No matter how many times we doubt or turn away from Him, He welcomes us with acceptance and open arms.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your endless grace and forgiveness that helps me to grow closer to You.

Streamline Your Life
He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.”—Luke 9:3 (NIV)
Jesus told his disciples not to bring anything with them on the journey. To leave their belongings—all the outward trappings of life—and come with Him. Perhaps He wanted to show that He was a responsible provider and nothing was necessary and at the same time teach them that their faith journey would be easier without worldly possessions.
Lord, guide me to see how easy life can be when I let go of things that I don’t need. Help me to streamline my life.

Build on the Cornerstone
The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.—Psalm 118:22 (NIV)
In the above verse, Jesus is “the stone the builders rejected,” and yet he became the cornerstone of faith. He served with peace and love—and with dignity—strengthening the very structure of our belief system, despite having been rejected.
Merciful Father, when I am faced with rejection, help me to continue and to respond with a loving heart.

Be Specific
What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”—Mark 10:51 (NIV)
In the above verse the blind man doesn’t simply say, “I want you to help me,” or “I want to feel better,” he says, “I want to see.” Being specific is important when you ask God to fulfill a need. When you share exactly what you want, it shows that you trust Him and that you believe He can help you.
Dear Lord, I know that you are listening—and that you hear my prayers.
