Devotional Archives for Your Daily Prayer
Staying on the path of righteousness takes work; many distractions and hindrances exist. But, each day, we have a choice: will we choose God and His ways, which are better than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), or the way of the world that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14)?
You have the chance to be great at faith, trusting in what you can’t see and in Whom you believe. So keep taking steps forward, allowing God’s glory to come behind your messes to orchestrate miracles.
The psalmist knew exactly where to go with his problem. When he didn’t have the answer, he knew God would give him guidance.
God’s Word demonstrates that He can heal all our wounds and reminds us He uses various measures to do so. Will we humbly welcome the physical or emotional healing we desperately desire?
How we begin our days is so important. I find for myself that if I begin my day scrolling needlessly on my phone before even getting out of bed, I start my day feeling guilty and unproductive. Our phones, although can be used for God’s purposes, have a way of sucking life out of us before our feet even hit the ground.
Whether you are just getting more in the habit of practicing daily thankfulness or a specific experience has propelled you into celebration, we are going to worship God together in prayer today for the gift that is gratitude.
Not only does God call us to a community of believers in the local church, but he calls us to cultivate an individual relationship with him. He desires our hearts, our lives, and our worship. We are wrong to think worship is merely the twenty to forty minutes of music during a church service when it’s really a way of life.
Our lives and our faith serve a purpose. We are not saved simply to avoid eternal damnation. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can share the gospel message, making and teaching disciples.
The truth is many who enter church are Christians simply moving from one flock to another trying to find the church that feels like a better fit for them. Although we welcome everyone, I always wonder when the day will come that church members would bring in non-believing friends so that they may be in a room full of people who want to see them know the Lord!
Change can be both challenging and rewarding. Sometimes, we may welcome it, while other times, we may resist it. If you are facing change today, take heart. Seeking God's wisdom and guidance gives us the confidence to embrace it with an open heart.
