Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.—Romans 12:2 (ESV)

Every moment is an opportunity to renew your mind, change your perspective and see the good in a situation. When you frame your thoughts through the positive lens of love and trust that God will lead you to your best life, good things happen.

Dear Lord, guide me to follow Your will and focus on what is good, acceptable and perfect.

Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord will be my God.”—Genesis 28:20–21 (NIV)

Jacob fled his family in fear for his life, and God intervened, letting Jacob know he was loved and cared for. Ask God to fill you with His strength and love. If you do this regularly, your life will be completely changed and you will go from feeling stressed to knowing you are blessed.

Dear Lord, I know You are with me and watch over me wherever I go.

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.—James 4:3 (NIV)

Sometimes we need to be reminded that prayer is greater than the means to getting what we want. Prayer centers our lives and our focus on God. Trust that He knows your destination in life and will ensure you arrive there.

Lord, if what I’m praying for is not to be, help me to find a new purpose and dream a new dream.

“They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”—Jeremiah 17:8 (NIV)

The Bible gives many examples of people trusting God in times of waiting. Noah waited for the rain to stop; Rebekah waited for a child. Their faith and patience was rewarded. When you are feeling frustrated by a situation or tired of being patient, pray this verse.

Lord, I am planted in You, and the longer I wait, the deeper my connection and the stronger my roots in You grow.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.—Proverbs 11:2 (NIV)

God’s presence in your life can lead you to be humble yet confident. Pride, on the other hand, can hinder God’s influence and separate you from His love and wisdom. Ask God to help you remember that humility is a sign of strength.

Dear Lord, help me be humble and true as I serve You.

“Everything is possible for one who believes.”—Mark 9:23 (NIV)

Norman Vincent Peale said that your life and achievements are directly proportional to what you believe. Believe little, and you will have a little life. If your belief is weak, you will get a weak life. If your faith is fear-based, you will live a life of fear. But when you believe big, you get a great life!

Heavenly Father, help me determine my dreams, and keep me determined to pursue them.

So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.—Hebrews 4:9–10 (ESV)

As the summer winds down, recognize that the key to keeping balance in your life is taking the time to direct your thoughts and actions toward God. Let go of feeling stressed or guilty about spending time on your spiritual life. Your relationship with God is vital to your health and wellness.

Dear Lord, help me find moments of rest where I release my burdens and recharge my spirit.

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.”—Philippians 3:13 (NIV)

The best way to connect with God is to be consistent. Make time for Him every day, and ask for His help in removing any barriers that keep you from Him. Have hope for your future, and strive to keep your spiritual life on track.

Heavenly Father, guide me to use each day to glorify You.

Turn from evil and do good.—Psalm 34:14 (NIV)

When something bad happens, do you let it ruin the present and the future by dwelling on it? This verse instructs us not just to turn away from evil but to do good. When you encounter negative, difficult people and situations, strive to make things better. Bring love and understanding to the forefront.

Lord, please give me the patience to give thanks for my many blessings, to focus on the good, and to do good in return.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”—Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)

Make time to focus on God. Keep silent and enjoy His presence. Let His spirit speak deeply to your heart as He shows you His ways. Listen and trust Him because His answers are always right. He will grow you in holiness and love as he leads you to a life of abundance.

Heavenly Father, I believe in Your power. I put all of my faith in You.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.—Psalm 19:1 (NIV)

The earth is a beautiful place. Yet we often forget to see the sunsets, notice the beautiful symmetry of a flower or appreciate the taste of fresh-picked vegetables and fruits. The world is full of gifts; each is a testimony to His brilliance. Be mindful of His many glorious blessings, and look closely at the greatness around you.

Heavenly Father, I am in awe of Your creation and amazed by Your grace. Thank You for blessing me with spectacular demonstrations of Your love.

The Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!—Job 42:10 (NLT)

Faith opens the door for God’s restoration and healing. When life takes a complicated turn and you feel alone, look to Job. Despite devastating hardship, Job trusted God’s will for his life. Surrender your desire to control everything, and pray for comfort and peace.

Lord, help me remember that You’re always working in my life. Thank You for filling my future with hope.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.—Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

Every day, find time to silence your mind and affirm that God is filling you with strength and energy. Your thoughts and attitudes lead to your actions, so keeping your heart and mind in tune with Him is essential. Take in a deep breath and feel His love and power fill your spirit.

Loving Father, empower me with Your Holy Spirit so that I can be a vessel for Your good works.

“I have called you by name; you are mine.”—Isaiah 43:1 (NLT)

Turn to this Scripture when you feel overwhelmed. Know that He is with you. He knows your name. Ask Him to help you surrender your feelings of inadequacy and let go of limiting ideas you have. Own your Godgiven abilities and believe you can do anything He calls you to do.

Dear Lord, thank You for this beautiful feeling of purpose and belonging that You bring to my life.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”—Matthew 7:13–14 (NIV)

When you ask God for help, you cultivate a deeper trust in Him. Abide by His word and avoid the broad road of least resistance; keep on the challenging and rewarding path that leads to glory and everlasting life. The Lord gives generously when you ask for things that are good and in accordance with His will.

Dear Lord, You lift me up and empower me with Your love. I am confident and humble, ready to follow You.

Dear Lord, You are my provider. Help me replace my worry with faith and truly leave my concerns in Your hands.
