Partner with God
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.—John 15:5 (NKJV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.” God has planted dreams into your heart that require work and faith to blossom. But remember, the dream is not the goal—the process of becoming and making the journey with God is the true purpose.
Heavenly Father, I am a work in Your hands.

Keeping It Simple
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.—1 Kings 19:11 (NIV)
It’s not always easy to listen to God’s whispers of guidance and have faith in the outcome. Our human nature causes us to question why and want to solve the problem our own way. When you are in need of His guidance, don’t rely solely on your own thinking. Pray for the clarity to hear and follow His will.
Lord God, life isn’t as complicated as I sometimes make it. Help me follow Your direction and stay on course.

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.—1 John 3:2 (NIV)
