Live like it matters

Jesus, I don’t want to lose what matters most by focusing on momentary things. So please help me. When I am tired, please strengthen me. When living a comfortable life seems more appealing than following You unconditionally—please convict and correct me. Give me the strength to trust in You. I know that You are worth living and dying for, but please help me to live like it. Amen.

Seek God

God, it’s when I seek You that I find You. So today, help me to intentionally draw near to You. Give me the courage to shift my attention off of my circumstances and onto You. I want to rely on You completely by coming to You first—above anything else. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God's goodness

God, no matter what, there is something to praise You for today. Strip away my selfish desires so I can see Your blessings. Open my eyes and reveal Your goodness. Teach me to dwell in Your presence with a heart that overflows in gratitude. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Peace

God, You know that I need You. I’m sorry for all the times I’ve pretended that I’m fine on my own. Please forgive me. Today, I come to You just as I am, and I give You all of my anxieties, cares, and worries. Please replace worry with peace, anxiety with hope, and concern with confident trust. I know that I am safe with You, and You can handle my problems. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Childlike faith

God, You are worthy of all my worship! Thank You for being a safe place for me to run to. Thank You for being my source of strength and help when I am in trouble. Draw me closer to You. Teach me how to approach You with a childlike heart by confidently trusting You with my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God's free gift

Jesus, thank You for becoming “God with us.” Thank You for taking the brokenness of the world off of our shoulders. It’s because of Your selfless sacrifice that I can now experience eternal life with You. Today, I receive Your free gift of salvation, and I invite You to heal me. I want to spend the rest of my life becoming more like You. Amen.
