Bridge to a Better Life

David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.”—1 Samuel 17:45 (NIV)

When you feel out of options, draw wisdom and strength from God. Ask Him to help you find a way to break through whatever is blocking you. Appreciate that sometimes a setback is a bridge leading you to a better life.

Everlasting Father, when I feel trapped and out of options, stop me from limiting myself. Remind me that there is no obstacle too big for You to overcome.

Be Transformed

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 feel confused or broken by life’s circumstances, listen to the voice deep inside your heart and turn to God’s Word. Steer away from the things you are doing that make you feel defeated. Instead, make good choices and form healthy habits that keep you on His path.

Heavenly Father, help me live a life that frees me from feeling as if I have to fit into the patterns of this world. Help me make choices that please You.

When Life Doesn’t Make Sense

“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’”—Job 42:4 (NIV)

Job longed to understand God’s actions. Often when difficult times befall us, like Job, we want answers. Why did this happen? Faith will lead us to recognize that we can know and love God, yet we must accept that not all our questions will be answered.

Heavenly Father, help me find peace with all that is unanswered in my life.

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.—Galatians 3:26 (NIV)

Reset Your Spirit

“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”—John 9:5 (ESV)

Today, after many have turned their clocks ahead for daylight saving time, consider the importance of light in your spiritual life. In the Bible, light represents the presence of God. Light gives us comfort and understanding. We strive to walk in God’s light. Today, take in the truth of this verse and reset your spirit to let in more of His glorious light.

Dear Lord, thank You for being the Source that brightens my life and the lives of those around me.

Right Where You Are Supposed to Be

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.—Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV)

When you’re in a difficult situation, do you spend time overthinking every option and asking God why this is happening? The next time you are troubled by a situation, consider this verse. We have a limited view and perspective. God’s timing is always perfect. Trust Him. Be assured that He knows what He is doing. Be bold and reconnect with His strength. Approach the day with positivity!

Dear Lord, thank You for reminding me that I am exactly where I am meant to be.

Rise and Try Again

For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.—Proverbs 24:16 (NIV)

Making mistakes is a necessary part of living a fulfilled life; stumbling and falling are all a part of growing. Let go of any fear of failure, and focus on doing your best. Be proud of your wonderfully imperfect journey.

Lord God, if I become stuck because I am afraid of trying something new for fear of making a mistake, remind me that I am getting better every day. Remind me that mistakes pave the way to success.

When you face trials and feel discouraged, be assured that God can and will deliver you from your troubles. Jesus knows what it feels like to be brokenhearted and unaccepted. He understands the human experience of feeling misunderstood and rejected. Receive His comforting presence.

Your Stronghold of Faith

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.—Psalm 18:2 (NIV)

Unexpected and challenging changes—you lose a job or feel betrayed by a friend—can be difficult to cope with. Yet when you reflect on your journey, you recognize that despite your fear and resistance, the difficult times brought wisdom and compassion. Your faith grew, and so did your spirit.

Lord, comfort me and guide me when life takes an unpleasant turn. Help me accept what has happened and trust that You are in control.

Seek His Approval

For they loved human praise more than praise from God.—John 12:43 (NIV)

Are you using your gifts to serve others? It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting praise from others—and not focusing on the One who truly matters. Search your heart and align your thoughts and actions with His will and your gifts.

Dear Lord, I want to live my life in a way that serves others and makes You proud.

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.—2 Corinthians 6:11 (NIV)

Open your heart wide and share your secrets with God. Search the dark places of your heart and tell Him something you have never told anyone. Be clear and honest. Lay your burdens at His feet and feel His protective presence allowing you to be your true self.

Dear Lord, thank You for being with me and helping me see the strength in my vulnerability.

Get Ready for Your New Thing

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”—Isaiah 43:18–19 (ESV)

Are you looking for a spark to bring a little magic into your life? It is easy to fall into a routine and forget that trying new things—whether traveling to a new city or country, exploring a nearby town or trying a new recipe—can refresh and inspire you. Today, ask God to help you experience something new!

Lord, You have created so many amazing things. Wow me today with something I’ve never experienced.
