A Blameless Heart
Today's Scripture
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9 ).
Do you need God to move in your life today? The Bible says that God is actually looking to show Himself strong in the earth. He is looking for those who have a blameless heart toward Him. When you open your heart to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you by His blood, then He gives you a blameless heart–then you are the person the Lord is looking to work through! When you understand the fact that God longs to work in your life, your faith will increase. Your hope will increase. And God’s work in your life will increase! Have confidence in this scripture today. Begin to thank God for giving you a clean and blameless heart. Thank Him for choosing to work in your life. As you thank and praise Him, look for His goodness and strength in your life. As you do, you will see God move in unexpected ways today and every day!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for the blood of Jesus which cleanses my sins and gives me a blameless heart. Search my heart today and remove anything that isn’t pleasing to You. I open my heart to You and invite You to work in every area of my life. I bless You and thank You for Your faithfulness. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Set Your Hope
Today's Scripture
“Set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed” (I Peter 1:13).
Is your hope set on God’s divine favor in your life today? One translation of this verse says, “Look forward to more and more of God’s favor.” That’s God’s dream–to pour out His goodness and grace upon you. He wants to help you get ahead in this life. He wants to lead you to the right job. He wants to lead you to the right relationship. But here’s the key: we have to be on the lookout for more of God’s favor. That tells me that we can’t get stagnant. Don’t ever think that you can’t rise any higher. God wants to do more than you can even ask or think. It says in Ephesians, He wants to show us the immeasurable, limitless, surpassing greatness of His free favor. In other words, God wants to go far and above what we’re used to! He wants to show you favor in unusual and extraordinary ways. Set your hopes higher today. Increase your expectations of what God will do in your life. As you open your heart and mind to His unlimited favor, you will experience the abundance He has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for your increase in every area of my life today. I choose to set my hope in You knowing that You want to do more in my life than I can ever imagine. Teach me to be a vessel used by You today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Favor Mentality
Today's Scripture
“Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life...” (Psalm 23:6).
Do you know what goodness is? It’s God’s favor. In the above verse, David was saying, “Favor follows me everywhere I go.” David knew he had an advantage. He knew God would assist him. He knew he could expect preferential treatment. David had this favor mentality. All through the Psalms, he constantly talks about God’s favor. You see, something is going to follow you throughout life. If you go around thinking, “Nothing good ever happens to me. I never get any breaks.” Then you’re going to have defeat, mediocrity, and lack following you around. But if you’ll switch over into this favor mentality and say, “God’s favor gives me an advantage. God’s favor is bringing success. God’s favor is making my crooked places straight...” then you’ll have blessings chasing you down! You’ll walk in promotion! You’ll experience increase! You will be destined for success! Choose to have a favor mentality today so you can enjoy the goodness and mercy God has stored up for you!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for showing me your goodness. Thank you for showing me your favor. I accept your promises for me today and let go of every negative thought. Thank you for your peace today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Know the Truth
Today's Scripture
“Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you” (John 8:32.
Have you experienced the Truth today? In the natural, we don’t normally think of truth as something we experience, but Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Truth is the very essence of who God is. It’s empowering. It will make you free! Truth comes from the Word of God. When you accept and believe God’s Word, something liberating happens on the inside of you. The lies of the enemy are broken in your life. You begin to experience freedom you never thought was possible! And there’s a difference between Truth and facts. The facts are what you see and the Truth is what God sees. If you are feeling burdened and heavy about something today, ask God to show you His Truth about that situation. Study His Word until you find His promise for that area of your life. Meditate on His promises and declare His Truth in your life. As you declare God’s Truth you will experience the freedom He promised and live in victory all the days of your life!
A Prayer for Today
God, thank You for Your Truth which sets me free. Open my understanding to Your Word today so I may experience your liberty in every area of my life. I bless Your holy Name and love You today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Nothing’s Too Small
Today's Scripture
“And even the very hairs of your head are numbered” (Matthew 10:30)
We hear all the time that nothing is too big for God. But have you ever thought that a problem was too small for God? Are there things in your life that you haven’t prayed about simply because you thought it didn’t matter to God? Every detail of your life is important to God. He knows the very number of hairs you have on your head! That’s pretty amazing to think about. If He keeps track of every hair that falls from your head, surely He cares about the things that you care about in your life. God wants to be involved in every area of your life–not just the big things, but the small things too. Don’t wait to pray until you have a major crisis. Talk to Him every day about everything. God wants to be involved in your mornings. He wants to be involved throughout your workday. He wants to be involved when you go to the grocery store. He wants to be involved in every area of your life. Open your heart and talk to Him about everything because nothing is too small for Him!
A Prayer for Today
God, thank you for loving me. Thank you for choosing me as Your and for caring about every detail in my life. I open my heart to You and ask You to be involved in every area of my life today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Favor of God
Today's Scripture
“God earnestly longs to be gracious to you...to have mercy on you and show you His loving-kindness” (Isaiah 30:1 .
God longs to pour out His favor upon you. He wants to remove your burdens so you can enjoy life. He wants you to be free and living each day full of peace. He wants to assist you and give you special advantages every single day. Today’s verse talks about God’s grace, mercy, and loving-kindness–which are all part of His favor! When you receive that favor by faith, you’ll have tremendous advantage! God’s favor will cause you to be promoted even though you weren’t the most qualified. God’s favor will open a door for you that may not open for someone else. God’s favor will bring unexpected blessing from unexpected sources. Activate your faith in this area today by declaring God’s favor in your life. Thank Him for his mercy and loving-kindness. As you expect His favor, God will do unusual and extraordinary things in your life and you’ll live the life of victory that God has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Prayer For Today: Father, thank you for your favor on my life today. Thank you for guiding me and reminding me of your presence in everything I do. Give me strength and peace today so that I can live in your victory today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Power of Praise
Today's Scripture
“...but he (Abraham) grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God” (Romans 4:20, AMP)
God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations–that his heirs would outnumber the stars in the sky. Abraham waited twenty years to see his promise. I’m sure there were many mornings he thought, “I must not have heard God right. It’s never going to happen. Besides, I’m too old to have a .” No, he had to do just what we have to do. He had to get up and shake off doubt. It says, “He grew strong in faith by giving praise and thanksgiving to God.” Instead of complaining, I can hear him saying, “Father, I want to thank you that You are at work in my life. Even though this looks impossible, I know You always finish what You start. Thank you that my is on the way.” All throughout the day thank God, not only for what He’s already done, but thank Him in advance for what He’s going to do. Thank Him that He’s going to bring your dreams to pass! As you give the Lord thanks and praise, just like Abraham, you will grow strong, be empowered by faith to see the fulfillment of the promise!
A Prayer for Today
Prayer For Today: Father, right now I choose to praise You and thank You for your promises in my life. Thank you for completing the work you’ve started in my life. Help me be a blessing and encouragement to others today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

STIR IT UP

Stir It Up
Today's Scripture
“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you...” ( II Timothy 1:6
What are the gifts that God has placed in your heart? Are there dreams inside lying dormant? Are there gifts and abilities that He’s given to you that have been buried deep inside? I encourage you today to stir it up! It’s easy for the busyness of life, and the cares of this world, to distract you and take you off course. But you have to make the choice to encourage yourself and stir up the gift inside. You can do this by talking about it with a friend, or being around others who are doing what’s in your heart to do. Find something that symbolizes that dream in your heart and focus on it every day. Find that determination inside to hold on to everything that God has placed in your heart. It doesn’t matter if it’s been ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years, God can still bring it to pass. Maybe you gave up yesterday, but today is a new day. Today you can stir it up again. Go out filled with faith and expectancy, believing that every promise God has placed in your heart will come to pass!
A Prayer for Today
Prayer For Today: Heavenly Father, thank you for placing gifts and dreams inside of me. I choose today to focus on what you are doing in my life. Give me the determination to hold on to your promises so I can walk in faith and victory with you today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Perfectly Complete
Today's Scripture
“Be confident of this. He who began a good work in you will continue to perform it until it’s perfectly complete” (Philippians 1:6).
Do you have dreams that have not yet come to pass? Are there promises that you are standing on in your health, finances, or relationships? Know this: God is a god of completion. He wants to finish what He’s started in your life. No matter how long you’ve been praying, don’t let the enemy tempt you into thinking that it’s never going to happen. Be encouraged today because God is called the Author and the Finisher of your faith. That means He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. Anything He begins, any dream He puts in your heart, He is well-able to finish. Stand strong on this promise. Be confident even when it looks like it’s not going to happen. No matter how long it takes, stay in faith and keep your hopes up because God has promised to finish the good work He’s started in your life!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank you for your promise to complete what you’ve started in my life. Thank you for your faithfulness and for showing me your goodness. Give me strength to stand strong so that I can experience your fulfillment in my life today. I love you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

KNOW HIM

Know Him
Today's Scripture
“Do you want more and more of God's kindness and peace? Then learn to know him better. For as you know him better, he will give you, through his great power, everything you need for living a truly good life: He even shares his own glory and His own goodness with us” (2 Peter 1:2-3, TL !
Are you determined to know God today? Not just hear about Him, or read about Him, but really know Him personally. The Bible tells us that God is love. He is peace. He is Truth. When you get to know God, you come to know and experience His love, peace, and truth in your life. In the same way that you get to know someone in the natural by spending time in their presence and talking with them, you get to know God by spending time in His presence and talking with Him. And He’s closer than you think! The Bible says that when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He actually makes His home in our own hearts! No matter where you are on the planet, when you begin talking to God, He promises to listen. He wants you to know He promises to reveal Himself to you. As you come to know God more and more you will experience His peace, kindness, and strength and victory in every area of your life!
A Prayer for Today
Father in Heaven, I desire to know you more. Show me your goodness and grace today. Teach me to hear your voice more clearly so that I can draw closer to you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
