Today's Word

Talk to God

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
- Psalm 34:15

God longs for us to talk to Him, whether we are happy or sad, courageous or weary. Maybe you feel sad or discouraged today and don’t know how to overcome the heaviness in your heart. Perhaps an unexpected problem has arisen in your life and your spirit has fallen. The Bible guides you to bring your burdens to God:

Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
- Psalm 55:22

Or maybe you are joyful and content with your life’s circumstances. Perhaps right now you feel like the most blessed person in the world and have an unending desire to sing and dance. Lift up prayers of praise and thanksgiving!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
- 1 Chronicles 16:34

Whatever your mood may be at this moment, do not forget the One who loves you more than anyone else, God. Talk to Him; share your joys as well as your sorrows. Ask for guidance in the decisions you need to make. Give thanks for the good things in your life.

When you pray or talk with God, you can express your feelings, hear His voice, and feel His presence in the midst of whatever is happening to you. Don’t let this day end without taking a little time to talk with God.

Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
- Psalm 62:8

Yesterday's Word

God does infinitely more!

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
Ephesians 3:20

God exceeds our expectations and achievements. His ability is unlimited, so be free to pray to God. No matter how big your problem is, trust in God's power, He can fulfill everything you ask for according to His Word.

Dream big and remember that God is king of everything. He has power over all situations and always keeps his promises. Put your trust in him and see his mighty hand at work.

17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."
Jeremiah 32:17

Nothing is impossible for God! He created everything that exists and you can trust in his greatness and power. Bring your worries and concerns before him with confidence. Remember that no matter how great your problem or need is, God is greater and more powerful.

So put your trust in God, seek Him in faith, and expect to see His mighty hand at work in your life. He is the God who does infinitely more, and His grace and mercy are abundant for those who seek Him.

7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 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 17:7-8

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Forgive and be forgiven

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.
- Mark 11:25

Many people mistakenly believe that they can only forgive if the other person apologizes. But if we think forgiveness is only possible when someone asks for it, it often becomes unreachable because some people will never say sorry for the wrongs they’ve done.

It is possible to forgive even when the other person is far away and we don’t know if they’ve repented or not. In some cases, we may need to forgive someone who has already passed away. In that situation, there is no chance for them to show any remorse.

That’s why it’s so important to confess our sins and ask God for forgiveness, in the name of Jesus.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
- 1 John 1:9

Unforgiveness is like poison, it steals our joy and keeps us from living the life God wants for us. If you find it hard to forgive, ask God for help, take the first step, and forgive. When we forgive, we release a heavy burden and can move forward with confidence, knowing that God is merciful.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
- Luke 6:36–37
