Heavenly Father, I come to You today with all humility to admit that I need You in my life. I acknowledge that I have been looking for happiness in the wrong places. I am looking for others things that will fill the satisfaction in my heart. Because of all these, I am sinning against You. Forgive me, Lord, for there is discontentment in my life right now. Forgive me for not seeking after Your righteousness. I am sorry for always longing for more and more, that I fail to be grateful for the things you have blessed me with. I […]
Father, I am not okay. I feel empty, broken, and tired from overthinking too much. I admit that I have been fighting this battle alone. I try to control everything with my own power, and I always remove You from the equation. Please forgive me. I realize that I’ve never entrusted my past, present, and future to You. But today, I surrender everything to You. Thank You for reminding me that, indeed, You are my Father, and You are my healer. You are the God who cares for me, and it is Your desire for me to be healed emotionally. […]
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'” Matthew 6:9-13 Prayer is our means of direct communication with God. We should not try to impress Him with our repetitive and memorized prayers. Instead, we must pray from the heart. Prayer is not supposed to be a duty or […]
Father in Heaven, I come to You today to glorify You. I come to You with a grateful heart. Thank You for this beautiful day that You have given me. Thank You for giving me this time to know You more. It is my desire for me to exalt You by reading Your word. And because You love me beyond beyondness, You hold my past, present, and future in the palm of Your hands. Before I read Your word today, I release every bitterness, anger, hatred, or unforgiveness in my heart that stops me from surrendering my life to You […]
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12 When we sum up the Bible, it will be all about one thing— love. Love is the most powerful motivator in the history of time. It’s a four-letter word that speaks volumes. It is not a feeling, but it changes a person from the inside out. Love is a commitment. Jesus proved that when He died on the cross. He didn’t base His love according to the number of our sins. Instead, He demonstrated love […]
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.” Proverbs 2:6-8 NIV One of the most amazing things that can happen in a Christ-follower’s life is when we allow the Holy Spirit to change our being from the inside out. It is astonishing to know that Jesus did not leave us alone to live here on Earth. Instead, He gave us a “helper” […]
“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” Psalm 25:4-5 It is impossible to honor God without obeying His commands. Living the Christian life requires us to follow His Word. However, it is not always easy. We will be faced with struggles along the way. And often, obedience to God requires us to sacrifice something to gain something better. We cannot live out God’s Will by relying on our own power and strength. We cannot do […]
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19:21 Everything that we do now will dictate the outcome of our plans in the future. We may have already planned what we want to achieve or gain, but the Lord will always have the final say. Part of our nature is to plan and prepare things ahead of time. Some of these plans may be foolish, but some may be wise. Whatever it is, it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. It is very humbling how our plans are just mere plans […]
