Devotional Archives for Your Daily Prayer

One of my least favorite four-letter words seems to be growing in popularity in modern culture. And I bet it’s one you’ve been hearing even more frequently in this bustling season too. Busy.

Clinging to our faith encourages us to trust God wholeheartedly, therefore giving us the endurance and strength to care for and serve our loved ones.

God is the hope we can cling to. A hope that will fortify our patience as we hold tight to it. And we keep seeking him.

One way the Pilgrims showed thankfulness was by being generous with the Native Americans, sharing their faith, time, and harvest with them. Like them, we can stir up Thanksgiving gratefulness around us, too, by being generous.

Sometimes, our hearts need a reminder to slow down and rest in the presence of the greatest gift ever given—the gift of Jesus.

Jesus didn't promise us a life without conflict, but He did promise us peace in the middle of it.

With so many traditions, travel, meals, and memories to be made, it can be easy to feel anxious and overwhelmed by what is ahead. However, God teaches us in Philippians not to worry about anything but to pray and share our petitions with Him with gratitude.

True thanksgiving, as a spiritual discipline, is not about what happens to us; it’s about who is with us.

Things will get better because God is in control. Even if you are having a hard time finding anything to be thankful for, you can be thankful for God. He is our Almighty, Wonderful God and He is also our dearly loved friend.

I pray you will open your eyes to God today while he holds your hand and heart through all the hard stuff surrounding you. Let’s choose thankfulness. It absolutely does help, dear friend.
