Jesus alone is our Anchor in life’s storms. Let’s hang on tightly to Him so that His sweet presence will draw us from darkness into the light of hope.
We can focus on the past and miss what He’s doing in the present. We can focus on our problems and miss His hope-filled promises.
When we seek God’s forgiveness for wrong attitudes and behaviors, He cleanses us from our sin. He sees us not for who we were and the mistakes we made.
The word “all” is teeny but don’t overlook its might. Here are several verses that will instill hope when you’re tempted to say, “Nothing’s going right.”
Know that God sees you. You are not alone. Invite Him to meet you at your deepest point of need and to reveal Himself to you in this place.
He says, “Don’t worry. A routine is nice and it’s comfortable, but it’s not the end-all. I am Your rock. I am Your stability.”
When you feel surrounded by chaos and uncertainty, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to see splashes of beauty in their midst.
Whatever Your situation, know that God’s quietly at work behind-the-scenes. When the time is right for His grand purpose to be fulfilled, He will take action.
It’s our responsibility to share His love with others. Sometimes that requires sacrifice, but sometimes it’s shown in ways that might appear shallow.
If God says to pray for those who have hurt us, then let’s do what He says. We can trust the outcome to His wisdom and sovereignty.
God never shirks His responsibility toward us. What He says He’ll do, He will do. He is completely trustworthy. We can put our hope and trust in His word.
He satisfies my hunger and quenches my thirst. Every day, day after day after day…the supply of divine delicacies never ends.
Let’s be open and teachable. Let’s place ourselves at the Master’s feet and invite Him to teach us whatever we need to learn.
God, in human form, wants us to know He’s in crazy-in-love with us. May we respond with gratitude. May we respond with joyful obedience to His commands.
God is very aware of the hopes we embrace. God’s timing is not our timing. God’s love for us is so vast that we can trust Him in the wait
Our body shapes differ. Our personalities differ. Our interests and giftedness differ. Our heavenly Father, who creates miracles of beauty, makes no mistakes.
The answer to all three questions is “God Almighty.” Be encouraged knowing He’s fully aware of your situation. Surrender your cares to Him.
We moved into a teeny tiny house when I was in fourth grade. The only place for the bird cage was atop the fridge. We mistakenly believed it was safe there.
The enemy of our souls doesn’t want us free and joy-filled, so he plants these lies in our minds. Often we don’t recognize their presence until we hit a crisis.
God’s all about exchanging the old for the new, giving second chances, and restoring what was lost or broken. He wants to fill us with hope.
Hope, peace, joy and love aptly describe what Christmas is meant to celebrate, and all because God chose to become man and dwell among us.
Would you join me in praying for people whose Christmas is anything but joyful? A prayer to know Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and find comfort in His presence.
Let’s ask Jesus to fully possess our minds, our eyes, our hands, our tongues, and our feet and to love others through us.
The more Christ fills us, we experience strength that’s not our own, peace that passes human understanding, and joy that’s impossible apart from His presence..
Every so often in our lives, God does a new thing. It’s highly probable that we won’t understand at first, and we might find the process difficult.
I will choose instead to praise God with my whole heart. I will focus my eyes not on my circumstances but on His strength, and I will walk out the Truth
Why should my life be so different than a Nepalese woman’s life because I was born in Alberta? I don’t understand. And yet I must trust that God is in control.
God longs for us to be channels of His unbounded grace, not just stagnant pools. He lavishes us with His grace so we can generously share with those around us.
Knowing I’m on God’s mind gives me confidence to talk with Him about everything. More importantly, it makes me feel loved. Safe. Secure.
Folks, let’s admit our inability to figure out life on our own. Let’s humble ourselves before God. Let’s acknowledge our dependence upon Him.
Hope is found in Jesus, the One who persevered and overcame death. Because of what He’s done and because He lives in us, we can persevere and overcome too.
God gives us the victory. He reminds us that we’re doing this in obedience to His call, and He’s responsible for the results.
I returned last night from a two-week trip to Eastern Europe. What a wonderful opportunity to see God at work in so many places!
No matter our situation or the decisions we face, God promises to guide us and give us wisdom. With that in mind, here’s a prayer you might find helpful.
When weariness drains us dry, joy is ours if we want it. When burdens threaten to crush life from us, joy is available as a supernatural gift of God’s grace.
One of my daily prayers is, “Jesus, make me aware of Your presence.” His answers never cease to amaze me, and reminds me He is very much involved with my life.
