How many times have we felt inadequate in a situation? If only there was something that could help us? It is easy to feel this way about our spiritual life. How can we live for God? How can we live this Christian life the way He wants us to? By ourselves we can’t. But the good news is, “He has given us everything we need for life and godliness.” How? Through His presence, His power and His promises. Today, spend time and get to know God. Talk to Him. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. If you will spend time getting to know God, you will find that He does indeed have everything you need for life and godliness.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear God, I want to live the life You want me to, but I can’t do it by myself. I need You. I need Your presence, your power and your promises in my life. Reveal Yourself to me today and in the days to come, so I can get to know You more and more and live the life You desire for me.
AMEN

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
God’s presence, power and promises gives me all I need for life

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Fear comes in different shapes and sizes. To be sure, there are full-blown phobias and crippling fears that can interrupt our life; but for most of us, fear is more insidious. Fears of rejection, insignificance, and abandonment may not interrupt our life but they can sure influence the way we think and act. Our thoughts, motives and behaviors are constantly shaped by either faith or fear. The Psalmist found the secret. He said that if we seek the Lord, He will deliver us from all our fears. Turn on the light of faith and the darkness of fear will dissipate. Decide to seek God today. Move away from fear and move your thinkng toward faith.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Lord, I want to trade my fears for faith. Today, when fear comes to my attention, I will seek You. I will seek You with all of my heart. Thank You that You promise to deliver me.
AMEN

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
God delivers me from my fear
Bring yourself into the presence of God. Sense Him there. Take the big bag of fears that you have brought with you and lay them at His feet. Visualize yourself pulling each fear out of the bag one by one. As you do you notice that God is not flinching. He is not worried. His peace begins to give you confidence and as you bring out each fear you take a piece of His peace and put it in your bag. Affirm, “God delivers me from my fears!”

TODAY’S THOUGHT
This is one of the greatest promises in the Bible. It is true for every child of God. Nothing – nothing – nothing can separate you from the love of God! You may feel like His love is distant, you may have doubts, you may be in circumstances where it seems like God is nowhere near, but the truth remains. His love is with you and He is conscious of you right now, this very moment! Stop and recognize His presence. Be still and know that He is your God.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Almighty God, my Heavenly Father. I renounce all negative beliefs that lead me to think that You do not care or have abandoned me. I pray that You will, this very moment, make me conscious of Your presence. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to really understand that nothing has or ever will separate me from Your love. Thank You for Your great love for me.
AMEN

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
Nothing can separate me from the love of God

TODAY’S THOUGHT
There is a world in such need, but we are so busy we don’t see it. We are so inwardly focused, so concerned about our own welfare, we don’t stop to help others. That is not the way of Christ! Our churches should be making huge differences in our communities, but we don’t. When will this change? It can change TODAY if you and I decide to do something. Today, we can make a difference in someone’s life if we just open our eyes and hearts. May God help us to “walk our talk.”

TODAY’S PRAYER
Lord Jesus, help me see other peoples’ needs with Your eyes. Bring someone into my life today who needs help. Give me the mercy to stop, the wisdom to know what to do and then the love to do it. Thank You, God, for all You have done for me; help me do for others.
AMEN

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
I help those in need
Visualize your self going about your own business and you come across someone in need. Sense God’s tug on your heart. Feel compassion build up in you. Feel the joy as you see yourself stopping to meet their needs. Feel a commitment toward being merciful and giving away the love of God. See God full of joy as His love flows through you. Affirm the fact that, “I help those in need!”

TODAY’S MESSAGE
There is one prayer that has made all the difference in my life. It is one I have to pray over and over again. It is a form of discipline, for if I don’t pray this prayer I will not keep my Spiritual vitality. The prayer is simple and yet powerful. It is, “Lord make me conscious of Your presence.” Being conscious of God’s presence makes all the difference in the world. Because David was conscious of the fact that God was always with him, right beside him, he was not shaken during life’s struggles. Instead God guided him and instructed his heart at night. How about you and I? What if today we were conscious of God right next to us? What if we knew that He was in the same room we were? What if we sensed that He heard our thoughts and prayers and would to answer the questions we have? What if we experienced His comforting presence when we are under pressure? What if we knew He was present to hold our hand when we had that extremely difficult task to do? God is. God is always with us. Let us be conscious of His presence in all that we do today.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear God, thank you for being with me constantly. Please make me aware of your presence today. Help me to see how relevant you are to my life. Help me experience your presence, to really know that you are always with me, in fact right beside me. Father, open my eyes to see you, my ears to hear you and my heart to sense your very presence. In Jesus name.
AMEN

TODAY’S MEDITATION & VISUALIZATION
God is always beside me
This is an easy assumption to take for granted. It is easy to live as if He in not there. So today focus on one truth. Visualize one thing. Give your attention to the abiding presence of God. See your self going through a day. Everywhere you go, Christ is right with you. Feel His presence. Sense the Holy Spirit alive in your heart. See it, feel it, sense it. Affirm, “God is always beside me.”

“I love you, O LORD, my strength.”
Psalms 18:1 (NIV)

TODAY’S MESSAGE
Strength is the energy that God gives us to complete a task. It is what helps us endure to the end. Strength is also what helps us resist negative forces. What better place to get strength than from God? He is able to provide all the strength we need to do what He calls us to do. Need to love someone who is unlovely? Ask Him for strength. Need to forgive someone who hurt you deeply? Ask Him for strength. Have to do something that seems impossible? Ask Him for strength. Is fear crippling you, depression strangling you? Ask Him for strength. Paul said, “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” We can experience the same reality that Paul did. And when we do, we will be able to say with David, “I love you, O Lord, my strength!”

TODAY’S PRAYER
Almighty God, I need your strength. I can’t live the life you want me to without it. Help me Father. Give me all the strength I need to do all that you ask me to do this day. I thank you for hearing this prayer. I will step out in faith and go forward in the power and strength of your might.
AMEN

TODAY’S MEDITATION & VISUALIZATION
God gives me strength for living
Visualize yourself coming to a very difficult task. Sense the stress it brings. Start to feel the apprehension build in your body. Take a deep breath and as you let it out let the awareness of Christ and His strength fill your heart. See Him coming to your aid. Sense the presence of the Holy Spirit. Realize that you are not alone and begin to relax. Let your apprehension be replaced with peace and confidence. God is alive and He will give you strength!

“God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’”
Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
The union between a mother and her little child is incredible. I watched my daughter-in-law interact with our new six-week old granddaughter, doting over her. It was so tender. Our granddaughter laid there wiggling, smiling, making funny faces and squealing. I love the squeals! What an illustration. Like a mother’s love, God’s love for you is born out of creating you. God has formed you and has a unique love for you. But that is where the comparisons between God and a mother end. You see, it is possible for a mother to neglect her child. Incomprehensible as it may seem, a mother may even abandon and forget her child. But not God! He promises; though a mother may forget her child, I WILL NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FORGET YOU. How can you be sure? He has engraved your name on His hands. He has etched you into the very flesh of His hands, a place He will never forget. Today, choose to rest in this truth; He knows your name, He loves you, He will never leave you or forsake you.  

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I thank you that I can trust you. Help me with my doubts, fears and insecurities. Like a child, I reach out to you. Help me see your hands with my name, my very being, engraved in them reaching toward me. Thank you that I am safe in your love. Thank you that you promised that you will never forget me, leave me or forsake me.
AMEN

TODAY’S MEDITATION & VISUALIZATION
God will never forget me
Today, spend time looking at the hands of Jesus. See the nail prints. They were for you. Look closely, see your name engraved on His palms. Sit with your palms up in openness toward God. Ask His to fill you with the knowledge of His love for you. Wait. Let Him come. Let His saturate your heart with His presence. He loves you. Let this truth permeate your soul, “He will never forget you!”

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Peace. It has many meanings. I heard a story of a man that commissioned a contest to see who could best paint a picture of peace. He would hang the entries in a gallery and let the townspeople vote on which picture best portrayed it. Beautiful painted sceneries with sunsets and ocean scenes draped across the gallery walls. Majestic mountains with beautiful colors were brought to the gallery and hung. Other painters submitted paintings of birds flying in the air, old people with peaceful smiles on their faces and children playing. People were hard pressed to decide which was more peaceful. Finally the day before voting a last entry was being hung. As people saw it, they didn’t quite understand why it was submitted. It was a picture of a turbulent river with a violent current smashing against the river canyon walls. Dark ominous clouds were overhead. Felled trees littered the river’s bank and the wind was bending a tree in the foreground. Then someone pointed out in the branch of the tree was a little bird. The bird was whistling, enjoying the spray of the river below. Not worried about the river the bird was in perfect peace. When the vote was finished everyone agreed that that was the most peaceful picture. Peace during peaceful times is one thing. Peace during life’s troubled, stormy times is another. May God keep us at perfect peace today, as our mind trusts in Him.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I pray for your peace to fill my heart today. Thank you for your unfailing love for me. Thank you for being my Father. I choose to fix my thoughts on you today, to trust you and commit every worry into your capable hands.
AMEN

TODAY’S MEDITATION & VISUALIZATION
I am full of God’s peace

Visualize a peaceful place. It could be a serene place you have been to, or one you have saw in a photograph or film. See it, feel it, smell it. Observe yourself in the place. Feel the temperature, feel the air current. Listen for the noises associated with the place. From observing go ahead and be in the place. Breathe deeply and be in the moment in the place. When you are ready invite God to be there with you. Sense His peace begin to fill you. Make this your peaceful place and visit it often.

TODAY’S THOUGHT
There are many things you can do with your life. You have skills, knowledge and experiences that afford you many different and unique occupational opportunities. However, there is one vocation that God has put in the heart of all who follow Him. It does not require skill, special knowledge, certain aptitudes or pedigree. It only requires a heart that loves God. He has called you to be a Priest. You have been given the sacred privilege to come before God in humble adoration. Dressed in a robe, cleansed by the blood of Jesus Himself, you stand before God forgiven and accepted as His child. There you are before God, your prayers received by Him as an incense offering, bringing Him extreme pleasure. As you praise Him, your hands reach up to Him in a Holy embrace, received as an offering of love and praise. There is nothing God desires more. No offering has ever been so precious to God as your adoration, praise and prayers. Come today as God’s Priest and offer Him your love. Come into His presence, love Him, talk to Him, adore Him – it is your sacred privilege.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I come before You now with a humble heart. Hear my prayers. Receive them as a scared offering. I life up my hands to You in love and adoration. Please accept my praise as a Holy offering to You in all Your majesty. I worship You today as my Lord and my God.
AMEN

TODAY’S MEDITATION & VIZUALIZATION
I love to worship God
Today, see yourself as a Priest before God. You are coming to Him in humility, bringing an offering of praise and thanksgiving. Sense yourself overwhelmed with gratitude for all He has done for you. Let your senses become filled with wonder. Love Him, praise Him, worship Him. Meditate on the fact that God has made you a priest, forgiven and loved, so you can come before Him with worship.
