No matter what you are going through, God is going through it with you. He never forsakes you. He is there always. When you’re sleeping. When you’re crying. When you’re laughing. Always. He has a purpose. Latch on to that. And let all worries fade away to dust…
Every day is a new beginning. Forgive yourself like God forgives you and stand tall under His power.
Thank you, Father, for being at work in my life. I confess that at times you seem distant, but looking back over the crucial moments of my life, I can see your fingertips and your grace leading me to where I am today. Dear Father, please make your presence even more powerfully known in my life as I seek your will and commit to live for your glory.
O Great God of heavens, thank you for caring for me when I am such a small part of your great work in the universe. Your love is beyond my comprehension, and yet it thrills me to know that in your grace one day I will see you face to face.
Almighty God, I acknowledge that you are too great for me to comprehend. Yet as marvelous and mighty and majestic as you are, your grace is greater still. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can know you. Thank you for sending Jesus so I could be forgiven. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can go home to you and live forever. Thank you, Jesus, for coming to redeem me and then returning back to the Father, so I can speak to him through you.
Amen.
In today’s words: Let God handle politics. You vote. Then you support. God will put in charge whom He deems for His purposes. Quit worrying, complaining, and mourning. Save that energy for Him!
Father in heaven, I love you. I love you because you are more than worthy of my love. I love you because you first loved me. I love you because you sent your son to be my big brother and pay the price for my adoption into your family. I love you because of your faithfulness. I love you because you have permitted me in your grace to love you.
You know me, Lord, for who I am. My motives and heart are open before you. Cleanse me from the inside out. And help me to live as Jesus did—with pure and true motives.
To you, O Lord: I can only offer my wonder and awe. When I consider the vastness of the universe in which our tiny blue planet spins its existence, I am humbled at your wonderfully complex and expansive sovereignty. At the same time, Father, I treasure your nearness. You are the good far above all I know, the God my Father who is ever near.
Thank you that you live with those of us who are contrite and repentant and who long for your presence. You know we are only mortal, but you love us. You know that we are flawed, but you redeemed us. You know that we are not perfect, but sent Jesus as the perfect sacrifice to save us.
Amen.
You are powerful. You have power. You will do great things. Believe.
