Darkness Turned to Light
Today's Scripture
You have turned on my light! The Lord my God has made my darkness turn to light. Psalm 18:28, TLB
It may seem dark in your life right now. It might be from an illness, a setback in your finances or business, or a broken relationship. But don’t let the dark fool you. The enemy means for it to stop you, but God will overrule. Instead of being discouraged, have a new perspective. That darkness is not going to last. The dark means light is coming. Now do your part and keep praising God in the dark. Keep serving and being good to other people in the dark. Keep thanking Him that things are changing in your favor.
Don’t be moved by what you see. Things may not look any different yet, but light is about to break forth on the horizon. God has never once not made good on His promises. It may not happen on your timetable or in the way you thought, but God will light your darkness. Get ready for favor and breakthroughs. Suddenly you’re going to come into opportunity, healing, abundance, and the right people will show up. It’s going to be bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling than you’ve ever imagined.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You have called me to walk by faith, believing that Your power is working in the dark. Thank You that when nothing is changing and I don’t understand it, I have Your promise of light breaking through. I believe that though it may look like night now, Your light will drive back the darkness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Further Faster
Today's Scripture
Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea. Acts 8:39–40, NKJV
In Acts 8, Philip was directed by an angel into the desert to meet the treasurer of the queen of the Ethiopians, who upon hearing about Jesus immediately believed and wanted to be baptized. When they came up out of the water, the Scripture says that the Spirit of God caught Philip away and he was found in Azotus, where he began preaching again. One moment he’s in the water, and the next moment he’s twenty miles away. That defies logic, except that God had an obvious purpose for Philip to accomplish quickly.
God has times when He will purposefully propel you ahead. It may not be to another city, but God may propel you in your career or health or a relationship. He opens a door, gives you ideas, causes you to stand out, brings the right people, brings the healing. You can’t explain how it happens. It doesn’t make sense. It should have taken years. You look up and think, “How did I get to Azotus?” so to speak. Look for the God of acceleration to step in and do what you can’t do.

The God of Restoration
Today's Scripture
“But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 30:17, NIV
We all go through disappointments, difficulties we didn’t see coming. It’s easy to accept it and think that’s the way it’s always going to be. We went through a breakup, so we’ll always be lonely. We had a setback in our business, so we’ll always struggle. We came down with an illness, so we’ll always have to deal with it. Voices will whisper, “This will never change. You won’t get out of this.” No, God says that when we go through challenges or loss, we’re still going to come out with nothing missing. He’s a God of restoration. You may have lost your health, lost your joy, or lost a position, but that’s not how your story ends. Don’t judge your situation too soon. God sees everything you’ve lost. He hasn’t forgotten about you. The loss is only temporary. It’s just a season. You’re going to get it all back. Your health is coming back, your confidence is coming back, your child is coming back, your strength is coming back. When God gets finished restoring, nothing will be missing, large or small.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are on the throne, and You are with me through every time of loss. Thank You that You can bring me out of difficulties better off than I was before they showed up. I believe that Your favor is on me and that nothing will be missing. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Moved by Faith
Today's Scripture
She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. Luke 8:44, NIV
In Luke 8, there were many sick people in the crowd on the day that the woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years was healed. Many people that needed healing, restoration, or breakthroughs bumped up against Jesus, but nothing happened. What was different about this lady? She fought through her doubts and disappointments and touched Jesus with expectancy, believing that healing was coming, knowing that things were about to change, declaring that favor was on the way.
God works where there’s faith. He sees our needs, but He’s moved by our faith. What activates the divine flow is when we believe that God can do what seems impossible. It’s when we go around talking about how big our God is rather than about how big the problem is or how the odds are against us or what naysayers have said. It’s when you’re believing that God is supernatural and never runs out of options. The question is, Are you brushing up against Him with your needs or are you touching Him? Be like this lady and touch Him.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Your presence in my life today, and that my faith can push through to You and see You do amazing things. Thank You for how great You are and that I can reach out and touch You by faith. I declare that I am stretching my faith to believe in You in greater ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Release It
Today's Scripture
He said to His disciples, “Offenses will certainly come.” Luke 17:1, HCSB
It’s impossible to live with people, and especially your family, and they not hurt your feelings, disappoint you, say things that they shouldn’t. If you let the offenses in, let that poison in, live sour and revengeful, holding a grudge, thinking about what they did, you’re wasting your emotional energy. That’s energy you’re not going to have for your dreams, to love your children, to enjoy your spouse.
You have to understand that some people will lash out at you, be disrespectful, and say things that hurt your feelings because they haven’t dealt with their own hurts and wounds and are bitter and angry. But what they say or how they treat you doesn’t determine who you are. The next time someone offends you, you have to say, “God, I forgive them, and I’m not going to dwell on it. I’m putting all my energies into what’s ahead and not into what’s behind.” If you get into this habit of forgiving quickly, it won’t take root. The best thing you can do is release it. Let it go and keep moving forward.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that I can forgive and release others from past offenses and hurts. Thank You that I can drop whatever it is and let it go, knowing You will make things right. I declare that I am leaving any offenses in Your hands and moving forward. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Do You Like Yourself?
Today's Scripture
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:39, NIV
One thing that holds us back from seeing changes in our life is when we don’t love who we are. If you’re not happy with the way God made you, there’s a constant battle going on inside—never feeling good enough always feeling wrong, with vague feelings of disapproval. If you don’t learn to like yourself as you are, weaknesses and all, you’ll always feel like you should be better. Added to the problem is that you have to live with you. You can never get away from yourself. If you don’t like yourself, life is going to be miserable.
It’s very powerful when you can say, “I like myself. Yes, I need to improve in some areas. I need to do better. But I’m at peace with who I am right now. I accept myself. I approve myself. I am not a finished product. God is in charge, and He’s still working on me, making me and molding me. It is not just up to me. I’m going to relax and enjoy life while God is in the process of changing me.”
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for making me in Your image with gifts, talents, and abilities to enjoy life and accomplish Your will. Help me to love myself, with all my weaknesses and shortcomings and things I wish were different. I declare that I am happy to be who You made me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Move Past Your Mountain
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"…you have stayed long enough at this mountain" (Duet 1:6, NIV)
Let me ask you, do you go out each day knowing that favor is already in your future? Or have you gotten stuck in a rut staring at a mountain of disappointment, setbacks or difficulty?
That's what happened to the people of Israel. They were headed toward their promised land. They had big goals and big dreams, but along the way they hit some setbacks and had some disappointments. They got so discouraged that they gave up on their dreams and just settled where they were. One day, God said to them, "You have dwelt long enough on this mountain." He was saying, "It's time to move past this and embrace the blessing in your future."
I believe God is saying that to each one of us today. You've been where you are long enough. God is saying, "This is a new day. Get your fire back. Where you are is not where you're supposed to stay." If you'll be determined to move past your mountain, He will lead you and empower you to live in favor and blessing in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, I give to You every area of my heart. I give You my questions, my disappointments, my doubts and fears. I choose to trade my sorrow for Your joy. I choose to press past my mountains so I can embrace the promises You have in store for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Pray for One Another
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed" (James 5:16, NIV)
All throughout Scripture, we see that God's system operates on the principle of sowing and reaping. If you sow blessing and mercy into the lives of others, that's what you'll reap in your life in return. The same thing happens when you pray for one another. There's a spiritual dynamic at play when you get your mind off yourself and onto others. You're sowing a seed so that God can do something in your own life.
Is there someone in your life you can pray for? Maybe it's a friend or a family member in need. They don't have to be present, you can pray for them as you go about your day or even driving in your car on the way to work. Remember, when you pray for others, God will make sure someone is praying for you. It's that connection of faith that opens the door for God to move mightily on your behalf.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for another day to be used by You. I choose to pray for the people in my life as You have commanded. Direct my thoughts and prayers today so that I can be a blessing to others and honor You in everything I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

If you sow blessing and mercy into the lives of others, that's what you'll reap in your life in return. The same thing happens when you pray for one another. There's a spiritual dynamic at play when you get your mind off yourself and onto others. You're sowing a seed so that God can do something in your own life.
Is there someone in your life you can pray for? Maybe it's a friend or a family member in need. They don't have to be present, you can pray for them as you go about your day or even driving in your car on the way to work. Remember, when you pray for others, God will make sure someone is praying for you. It's that connection of faith that opens the door for God to move mightily on your behalf.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for another day to be used by You. I choose to pray for the people in my life as You have commanded. Direct my thoughts and prayers today so that I can be a blessing to others and honor You in everything I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Brighter Days Ahead
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day" (Proverbs 4:18, NLT)
Are you facing a situation that seems dark today? As a believer, God promises that your path will shine brighter and brighter as you seek His truth and righteousness in every situation. What is righteousness? Righteousness is simply being in right standing with God. Being in right standing with God is about submitting your life to Him. It's about obeying His commands and seeking His plan for your life on a daily basis. As you seek Him, the light of God's Word will guide you in every decision you have to make.
No matter what you may be facing today, take time to ask the Lord to shine His light on you. Ask Him to confirm His plan for you. As you continue pursuing His truth and righteousness, as you continue to make His Word a priority in your life, you will experience more of His blessings. You'll see those brighter days as you move forward in the good plan He has in store for you!

Father God, I know that You have a wonderful plan and purpose for me. I desire to be in right standing with You. Show me Your ways and teach me to walk righteously before You. Shine Your light in my heart and give me strength to pursue the path You have in store for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen!

Overcoming Disappointments
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past" (Isaiah 43:18, NIV)
The Bible tells us that every person, no matter how much faith they have or how good they are, will face disappointments. It may be something simple like not getting the promotion you hoped for, or not closing a business deal you worked so hard on. Maybe you didn't qualify for a house you really wanted, or maybe something more serious happened like a relationship not working out, the death of a loved one, or some kind of illness in your body. Whatever it may be, the reality is that we're all going to suffer some setbacks. I believe one of the main keys to overcoming disappointments is learning to let go of the past.
If you feel "stuck" today, you may want to examine what you're holding on to. Be willing let go of past disappointments by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who wronged you? Release it to God. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive God's forgiveness? Make the choice today to forgive. Let go of the past so you can overcome disappointments and experience the bright future God has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, search my heart and mind today. Show me any area where I may be holding on to the past. Help me to receive Your forgiveness so that I can extend forgiveness to others and move forward in the wonderful plan You have for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen!
