Cure Worry with His Word

And who has extended his good favor to me before the king and his advisers and all the king’s powerful officials. Because the hand of the Lord my God was on me, I took courage and gathered leaders from Israel to go up with me.—Ezra 7:28 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale suggested using the the faith practice of memorizing reassuring Bible verses to fill your mind with peace—and force worry out. The word worry originates from a word that means to strangle or to choke. Worry chokes the joy of today.

Father God, when I keep my mind fixed on You, I will be kept in perfect peace.

On the Shores of Joppa

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.—James 1:22 (NIV)

In Scripture, Joppa was a port of departure for two men who heard the words from God and reacted in opposite ways. Jonah ran away from God. Peter obeyed. How do you react when you are facing a problem? Where do you stand on the shores of Joppa?

Lord, I long to make the right choices, to willingly follow Your instructions and obey Your Word.

When Bad Things Happen

Tell everyone who is discouraged, “Be strong and don’t be afraid! God is coming to your rescue.”—Isaiah 35:4 (GNT)

Where is God when bad things happen? If God loves me, why am I going through such hardship? There are no easy answers to life’s puzzling questions, but one thing we do know is that God is always there—to offer comfort and rescue us.

Heavenly Father, in challenging times, help me to boldly trust that You are in control.

What Do You Want?

Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?” They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”—John 1:38 (NIV)

In the verses that follow the above, Jesus tells the two men, “Come and see!” So they follow Him. Jesus’ question, “What do you want?” was much larger than they ever imagined. It caused one of them, Andrew, to become His disciple. Take a moment and answer Jesus’ question. Tell Him what you want.

Lord, I seek You. Fill me with Your love and peace. I want to know You.

When You Lose Your Way

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?—Luke 15:4 (NIV)

When you lose your sense of direction in life, God always sends someone or something to direct you back: a Scripture, a sudden insight or a friend who says the right words. God promises He will leave the ninety-nine sheep to find the one that is lost. He will do the same for you.

Good Shepherd, when I lose my way, find me and guide me to faithfully follow You.

Answer God’s Call

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”—Judges 6:12 (NIV)

In the above Scripture, when the angel of the Lord finds Gideon afraid, he tells him, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” When you doubt your abilities, boost your confidence through worship. Turn to God and His promises instead of focusing on your circumstances.

Heavenly Father, I am ready and able to answer Your call today.

A Prayer for Clarity

He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land—the Lord is his name.—Amos 5:8 (NIV)

When you are feeling stressed, take a few minutes and look up at the God of order. If He can keep the heavens untangled, He can help you navigate your busy day. Share your frustrations and worries with Him.

Great Creator, just as You turn midnight into dawn, bring light and clarity to my day.

Little Things Make a Big Difference

Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.—Matthew 13:32 (NIV)

The Bible stresses the importance of little things and normal people—a mustard seed, a lost coin, a diminutive tax collector called Zacchaeus, and a shepherd boy named David. One of the shortest verses, “God is love” (1 John 4:8) is one of the most powerful in the Bible. When you are feeling small or unappreciated, remember this verse.

Lord, I know Your greatest works often begin as small seeds.

Go the Right Way

If you go the wrong way—to the right or to the left—you will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the right way. You should go this way.”—Isaiah 30:21 (NCV)

Jesus provides guidance on the best pathway for your life. When you are headed in the wrong direction, He can guide you back to the right path. Make it part of your prayer practice to check in with Him and ask for reassurance that you are on track.

Lord, guide me on this journey of life!

Let the Lord Renew Your Mind

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)

When you are overwhelmed, instead of asking God to change the situation, try asking Him to transform your perspective. Ask Him to help you see life differently and embrace the challenges at hand with a new vision.

Lord, renew my mind. I want to see Your perfect will at work.

Everything God Gives You

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!—Isaiah 30:18 (NIV)

Erma Bombeck said, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’” Every gift you share with the world, every generous act and surrender you make will open your heart wider and enable you to receive more of God’s spiritual gifts. A gift to God has infinite value. It delights Him.

Lord, I want to live a life free of regret, doing everything I can to use my talents to make a difference.

Feel God’s Joy

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.—Philippians 4:4, 6 (NLT)

It’s been said that when you worry, you are lacking faith that God has your best interests at hand. Take the above verse to heart. When you are fighting the urge to worry, pray instead.

Heavenly Father, help me to rejoice in the moment. Help me feel Your joy.
