When we feel anxious, depressed, and scared, those feelings aren’t from God. No, the Holy Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-discipline. That’s why the Bible tells us to be continually filled with the Spirit. Imagine how much stronger our daily prayer and Bible study times would be if we were led by the discipline of the Holy Spirit! Let’s be Spirit-filled and Spirit-led today.

Shouldn’t we want what the Lord has for us? Some of us are so stuck on checking off the box of going to church that we ignore the power of the Holy Spirit. Everything comes from the Spirit—He gives us boldness, discernment, and understanding. Let’s see lives radically changed as we ask God to fill our hearts and minds with the power of the Holy Spirit!

If you’re on the brink of making a big decision, don’t miss this warning—listen for God’s guidance and talk it through with trustworthy advisors! The Bible is full of examples of godly people taking bad advice and making poor decisions. We must humble ourselves and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Without it, we’ll self-destruct!

Do you need solutions? Help? Strength? Instead of trying to fix things, enter into God’s rest. God’s rest is more than a vacation. It’s a state of blessing and calm that makes us trust in our salvation and live in expectation. It makes us both peaceful and aggressively hopeful! No matter the responsibility or the burden we carry, God exhorts us: “Make every effort to enter My rest.” Let’s return to our rest today.

What do you truly and deeply need God to do for you? Whether it’s a personal breakthrough, the spiritual return of a loved one, or some other miracle, pray for it! Jesus Christ is bigger than any problems we face in this life. Nobody is exempt from trouble, but praise the Lord, we can take it all to the only One who can bring us through anything!

We didn’t ask Jesus to go to the cross for us—He always acts first. The Lord meets us wherever we are, and He has divine compassion on us. He knows when we’re spiritually lukewarm or cold, and He knows everything that tries and tempts us. Yet our wonderful God is always waiting for us to simply turn back to Him. His mercy covers us every day! Let’s run toward His compassion today.

It’s easy to lose our zeal for the Lord in the valleys of life. We get discouraged, and then we get desperate—but that’s when God has all our attention! Here's the good news: we can still praise the Lord in those valleys! Time after time, God brings us out of our troubles. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to renew our attitudes. Others will see the change in us and realize the faithfulness of God!

When was the last time you saw God’s grace around you? A great plague in churches today is Christians not purposefully looking for that grace. Life gets hard, and we only look at our circumstances—and miss out on the blessings surrounding us! God is not hiding the truth or His goodness from us. We just have to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of God’s Word to us, and He will bring renew our spirits!

God is not dead! How often do we consider that the God we pray to and worship is alive? If He were dead, He couldn’t hear us, speak to us, or answer prayers. But every single day, God Almighty hears and answers us! It’s amazing how our outlooks change when we lean into that truth. Let’s pray to God today and know that He’s living and listening.

How can we expect God to change our lives if we don’t tell Him what we need? The act of pouring out our hearts—laying every thought, feeling, fear, and expectation at Jesus’ feet—is what deepens our relationship with Him. We can tell the Creator of the universe how we feel at any given moment, and He cares! Let’s take advantage of that wonderful privilege today!
