Peace, Be Still

1 Min Read

The Bible tells many stories of Jesus and His disciples. One day Jesus instructed, “Let us pass over to the other side” (Mark 4:35). A great storm developed before they reached the far shore. Jesus, tired from His teaching, slept in the back of the ship.

Frantic, the disciples woke Him. “Don’t you even care that we’re about to die?” Jesus arose and said, “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:39).

They had forgotten that it was Jesus’ idea to make the journey. The fact that it was His idea implied they would have a safe crossing.

Storms blow into our lives too. Amid the turmoil and confusion we forget that the Word of God told us, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).

Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to remember You control our storms. Today we ask You to speak peace to our hearts and minds.

It’s Possible with God!

1 Min Read

Some things are beyond my capability. I’ve faced my limitations and handicaps at various times in my life. I can find middle “C” on the piano, but struggle to pick out a tune. I have attempted to learn a foreign language but am unable to put together a simple sentence. I have tried to fix my problems and anticipate the future. These are not my talents either. I’ve eventually concluded that many things are impossible for me. That is not the end of my story, however. The Word of God is reassuring, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27).

Prayer: Dear God, as long as You are in the picture, I need never worry about my limitations. You are capable of fixing my problems, restoring my relationships, and bringing peace in the middle of my chaos. Thank You!

Ask For It

1 Min Read


“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matthew 7:11 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible)

Where does that irresistible urge to buy gifts for children come from? It’s almost an uncontrollable desire to shower little ones with wonderful treasures for their enjoyment. We would do anything to see a child’s eyes light up with pleasure. If I feel that way about my own children, how much more does God desire to pour out abundant blessings on His children.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, You have made available to your children all of heaven’s bounty. It’s mine to enjoy if I ask for it. Thank you for your incredible love for me!

Find Time to Pray

1 Min Read

“Closet communion needs time for the revelation of God’s presence. It is vain to say, “I have too much work to do to find time.” You must find time or forfeit blessing. God knows how to save for you the time you sacredly keep for communion with Him.” -Arthur Tappan Pierson

God is the Definition of Love

1 Min Read

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible).” God is the definition of love! The miracle of His love for us is not that He loves us, it is that He loved us before we returned His love.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, when I was dirty and messed up by sin, You offered Your love to me and demonstrated it by taking my place on the cross. There is no greater love than the love You have shown to me. Now it’s my turn to demonstrate my love for You, by sharing Your love with others.

Rock-Solid

1 Min Read

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I”
(Psalm 61:2 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). When my world is in chaos and I’m weary with the constant day-to-day grind, I have a place I can hide until my heart is strong enough to continue on.

Prayer: Lord, you are my shelter, the stability that I so desperately need in my life. The strength that You offer me today is rock-solid.

God Whispers

1 Min Read

“When I find myself racing around, trying to fill a day with mindless tasks or petty entertainment, this is usually the time that God whispers to my heart to draw away with Him and to silence my heart as He wishes to speak.” -K. Walden

No Cause to Fear

1 Min Read


“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible).

I’m amazed by the relationship that God desires to have with us! I traded slavery to the things of the world for a place in God’s family. I’m no longer a slave, but an heir – a daughter of the King! I have no cause to fear for His arms are outstretched inviting me to stop for a moment to consider how valuable I really am to Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, You want only the very best for Your children. Your Word has reassured me today that I can rest secure in You. Amen!

Are You Hungry? Thirsty?

1 Min Read

“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst” (John 6:35 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). Do you hunger for spiritual growth? The aroma of God’s presence is calling you to taste and see that the living bread He provides will fill you to overflowing and you will never hunger or thirst again.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for the fresh spiritual nourishment that You provide for me daily.
