Infos

God encourages us in his Word to give thanks in all things at all times. That's not a mistake. When we choose to focus on things we are grateful for, our satisfaction in life increases. Comparisons cease. Unnecessary pursuits pause. And we begin to notice the little things. The things that matter. Life. Breath. Connection. Kindness. Beauty. This is where we find deep intimacy with God. As you reflect on these devotional entries, Scriptures, and prayers, refocus your perspective and meditate on things that produce life and joy, that bring peace and comfort. Spend the beginning and end of your day with God, experiencing his goodness and being refreshed in his presence. Be encouraged as you take time to ponder how wonderfully unique and abundantly blessed you are. Evaluate each day in the light of God's truth. Stand in awe of a God who gives beyond your wildest dreams. From the time you wake up, until the time you fall into bed at night, let your heart be filled with praise for his many blessings and wonders.

True Identity

Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.

PSALM 139:16 NRSV

You were created with intention, your being knit together with love and honor. You are not an accident! You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and there is no other like you. God saw your life unfolding before you even took your first breath. He is your life-source.

Will you come to him with all your questions and doubts and lay them out before him? He can handle each and every one. As you lay them down, line your lips with praise. You are his! You are a child of the Living God, and he is your faithful Father. Let your heart come alive as you let your imagination run wild with the truth that you were created in Love’s image.

Creator, I am so thankful that you made me, not just to survive life but to thrive in it through a relationship with you. I won’t stop praising you for the gift of life!

You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I’d ever seen the light of day, the number of days you planned for me were already recorded in your book.

PSALM 139:16 TPT

Holy Father, as your child, I won’t stop coming to you for my daily bread. You know my needs before they even reach my consciousness. Thank you for your provision today. Thank you for your persistent presence that illuminates the beauty of fellowship with you.

You walk with me, no matter what path I find myself on or the circumstances I face. I trust you to guide me in spirit and in truth all the days of my life. You have already seen every possibility, so I will rely on your loving leadership to direct me in wisdom. Your ways are embedded in faithfulness. Help me to be rooted in my identity as a child of God. Your Word is better than any other!

How does your identity as a child of God affect how you live in the day-to-day?

My Sustainer

Preserve me, O God, for in you I put my trust.

PSALM 16:1 NKJV

There is no amount of hardship or depth of pain that, when we look to God, he will not help us with. He is healer, sustainer, and restorer. He will not let us be taken out by the intensity of our circumstances when we put our trust in him. It doesn’t matter how strong the storm that we are facing, his grace is more powerful. His mercy meets us in every season of the soul.

Let us put our hope in God, for he is our Savior. He will keep us safe in the refuge of his presence. He will restore our peace with his nearness, and our hearts will be continually filled with courage as we remember his power, as well as his goodness. Let us offer him our trust over and over again. He is faithful, he is worthy, and he is full of mighty power!

God, you are my strong shelter. I hide myself in your unchanging nature again today. You who are full of mercy, protect me from the schemes of the enemy. I trust in you!

Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

PSALM 16:1 NIV

My God, I have put all my hope in you. You are bigger and better than any grand plans I could come up with on my own. Your love is consistent and full of kindness. Your compassion runs deeper than any rebellion I have in my heart. Thank you for that! What wonderful news that I could never exhaust your mercy. I trust you to meet me with your love every time I turn toward you. You promise to never abandon me, and I rely on your nearness more than I can say.

There is no one else who is as persistently patient or as unfailingly caring as you. You are my safe place, and I can let down my guard in your presence. As I prepare myself for sleep, flood my being with your peace that passes all understanding. Give me rest as I take refuge in you. Keep me close and keep me secure. I am yours!

Do you trust God to take care of what you cannot control?

Abundance

God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 NIV

Are there times when you feel more able to trust God’s goodness and provision than others? Though you may go through seasons of plenty and those of lack, God is always full of abundance. His resources never wane; the storehouses of his mercy are overflowing at all times. Whatever it is that you have need of today, God has more than enough to meet your need.

Meditate on the Word today: “so that in all things at all times, having all that you need.” Remember, you have access to all that you require today, no matter the realities that you are facing. Put your trust in him, for he is your generous provider!

Great God, thank you for your generosity toward your children. I give you all my worries, because I know that you are more than enough for all that I need. Meet me with your abundance today!

God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 TPT

God of abundance, you are the source of every good thing. I could never exhaust your mercy or reach the end of your love. It is more than I can comprehend! Thank you for the way that you met me today with your goodness. You are always full of kindness; I don’t want to ever forget it. Your grace empowers me to do all that I need to do.

I am so grateful that when I fill up on your mercy, there is more than enough to overflow from my life to others. Thank you for the clear indicators of your generosity in my life. May I reflect the abundance of your kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

How have you seen God’s lavish grace show up in your life?

Never Abandoned

I had said in my alarm, “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help.

PSALM 31:22 ESV

When the dark of night comes, and the shadows start messing with our minds, we may find that our beliefs begin to be dictated by our fears. But even the blackest night is as clear as the brightest day to the Lord. He is unchanging, and his love has not wavered for even a moment. He sees what we cannot.

Will we trust him to lead us? Will we give him our fear and press into the peace of his presence? He has not left us. He will never abandon us. As we turn our attentions to him, we will find that his comfort descends like a blanket over us. He is ever so close. May we see with eyes of faith, trusting that his purposes and plans have not changed even when our circumstances have.

God of mercy, I cry out to you when I feel anxiety rise within me. I trust that you have not changed a bit! You are good, you are present, and you are for me. Reveal your nearness to me again today.

In panic I cried out, “I am cut off from the LORD!” But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help.

PSALM 31:22 NLT

Lord, I’m so grateful that you answer my call for help every time I cry out to you. You have not left me alone in the face of my trials or troubles. What a beautiful friendship this is! Thank you for always being available whenever I need you. Though panic may move me for a moment, your peace keeps me within your grip of grace forever. There is nowhere I could wander that your love would not reach me.

I am undone by the kindness of your affection toward me. You are consistent and kind, an ever-present help in times of trouble. You will never abandon me. Continue to rewrite my understanding of your love without conditions, which is so much better than any other love I’ve ever known. You are so worthy of my trust. Thank you for being with me, for extending your tangible mercy into my life, and for guiding me with tenderness. Fill my mind with your unmatched truths as I continue to meditate on you and give me greater glimpses into your glory.

How has God answered your cries for help?

Resurrection Life

If while we were still enemies, God fully reconciled us to himself through the death of his Son, then something greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, and because we share in his resurrection life, how much more we will be rescued from sin’s dominion!

ROMANS 5:10 TPT

What does it mean to be fully reconciled to God? With nothing to get in the way of his wonderful love in our lives, he has done all that was required in order to restore the relationship we were always meant to have with him. This is more than friendship; it is freedom.

When Adam and Eve first walked with God in the garden, theirs was a perfect relationship. There was trust, honor, and love. There was unhindered fellowship. This is what we have through Christ. We share in his resurrection life and power, and we have been set free from the sin that entangled and kept us from walking in the liberty of love.

Jesus Christ, you are the way, the truth, and the life. I come to the Father through you, and I find my true belonging in fellowship with your Spirit. You have conquered the grave, and I am more than a conqueror in you!

Since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his...
