Your Daily Prayer

Anger can feel impossible to control at times. There are so many things to be angry with in this present world, and it takes a heart of peace to combat them.

Let us trust Him with tomorrow and our future, because the plans He has for us are good, giving us hope and a future.

God desires us to keep his commands and store his word in our hearts, so writing psalms (or sacred poems and hymns) was a God-inspired practice. In fact, in Deuteronomy 31, God instructs Moses to write his words in a song so they will not be forgotten, even by future generations.

We should revere the Lord, as He is more magnificent than we can imagine. Yet, if we treat Him like a thunderstorm, rolling through in power to wreak havoc wherever and whenever He pleases, then we forget that He is a good God.

Knowing how many times I have failed as a mother, I am thankful that, just as our regeneration when the Lord makes us born again, sanctification is a work of the Spirit in our hearts and lives.

Victory doesn’t always look like we think it will.

For Christians, the concept of “perfection” can be tempting, because we’re all striving to learn how to love one another better.

There’s something about walking in the woods that quiets the noise of this fallen world.

Self-control is the last fruit of the Spirit, but it is by far one of the hardest fruits to develop in our lives.

Instead of looking for an escape from your trial, your exhaustion, your pain by trying to fill your own “cup” with whatever the world offers as satisfying and fulfilling, perhaps the Lord wants you to look to Him first to satisfy you and fill your lack and limitations.

Humans are quick to look after their own interests, but the Apostle instructed the church to seek the good of others.

Jesus takes solitude seriously. He spent 40 days alone in the wilderness in prayerful submission to God’s redemption plan.

Our mistakes are part of our lives, but they don’t define us. What matters is that we keep working toward self-improvement.

If a certain dream catches your attention and seems to be especially important, or if that dream repeats and becomes a recurring dream, it can be worth paying closer attention to.

Having an eternal perspective lifts your eyes from the cares of this life and helps you move forward when you are going through a storm, reminding you that ultimately, this place is not our home.
