Devotional Archives for Your Daily Prayer
Contentment isn’t dependent on our circumstances; as the dictionary defines it, it is a continual state of happiness or satisfaction, a mindset.
The only hope we ever have of a pure heart is by the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Today, as we pray, let’s reflect on the work of God’s Spirit in us. May we come to God repentant like David and surrender to His softening of our hearts.
The same Lord God who formed the first man “from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life” (Genesis 2:7) used dust to bring life to this blind man’s eyes.
Whether we believe it or not, especially as Christians, it’s up to us to choose to focus on what God has so graciously given us rather than what the world gives and takes away on a daily basis. Godly gratefulness is not dependent on what we own; yet, God has given us so much to be thankful for in life.
Discipleship does not have to be complicated. May we keep it simple by replicating how others taught us to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did.
When we cling to God and His promises, we can rest assured that He can take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it for good. (Romans 8:28)
There will be times when reconciliation may not be an option, but we can choose to forgive. We can release the need to feel vindicated, knowing that our Father in Heaven sees and is the righteous judge. We can forgive others, even when we don’t feel like it, because God forgives us.
Our spiritual lives can become more healthy and fruitful even when our physical health is declining. Today we will take some time to praise God for His kind gift of doctors and nurses.
Most of the time, I have to face the fact that what I define as good may or not be what God defines as good, and sometimes it takes what seems bad in the moment to produce a greater good God wants to work in my life for His glory.
Call out to Jesus, your personal Savior, to bring you out of the darkness and into the light with Him. I know He will meet you there.
