Be a good person, but don't spend your time trying to prove it.
Be motivated to do good unto others because it is the right thing to do, not because you hope someone sees you doing it. Find a way to quietly help someone today.
You have been told, O mortal, what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, view them as setting the scene for God's glorious intervention.
God loves you and wants you to be joyful. Focus on this when worry creeps into your life. God's glory will still shine through your toughest moments.
V - Then all who trust in you will be glad and forever shout for joy. You will protect them and those will rejoice in you who love your name.
Psalm 5:12
Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ.
It is not realistic to eliminate trouble from your life, but it is totally realistic to experience the presence of Christ in your life. Seek God each and every day and experience the peace that comes with a personal relationship with Him.
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
God may not show you what is on the road ahead, but He will equip you for the journey.
Remember, God is your companion on each step of your journey. Keep in constant contact with Him, whispering His name whenever you need direction.
III - I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk, give you counsel with my eye upon you.
Psalm 32:8
Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon God.
Patience with prayers comes as you align your will with God's will. Open your heart and mind to what God has in store for you and let joy overcome your discouragement.
But as it is written: “What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,”
1 corinthians 2:9
It is impossible to thank or praise God too much.
Stop what you are doing right now, and say this Doxology out loud: Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Psalm 146 Trust in God the Creator and Redeemer - Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, my soul; I will praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live.
Psalm 146:1-2
Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach.
We often give up when success is just around the corner. Ask God today for the perseverance to fight through the challenges and hurdles that stand between you and your goals.
Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19: 26
The degree to which God strengthens you on any given day is based mainly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on Him for help.
No matter the hardships you may be facing today, turn to God and be willing to let Him guide you through your day. He promises to give you the strength you need.
Seek out the LORD and his might; constantly seek his face.
Psalm 105:4
Start by doing what is necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Take time today to thank God for all the abilities He has given you. With the strength of God in your heart, discover that doing the impossible is possible.
I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me.
Philippians 4:13
When life gets too hard too stand, kneel.
Don't let life's problems overwhelm you. No problem is too hard for God. Drop to your knees in prayer, confident He will provide you the strength you need.
Do not fear: I am with you; do not be anxious: I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.
None of us know what the future holds - but God does. Turn to him in faith, confident His plan for you will be one of promise and hope. Trust your unknown future to the God you know.
For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—oracle of the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
If we don't teach our children to follow Christ, the world will teach them not to.
With today's proliferation of social media, our children are over exposed to false teachings of worldly fame and success. Be the voice (and the example) in their life that points them to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
When life has you down, remember that God is only a prayer away. Have confidence knowing that He is in control. With God in your heart, you can overcome the headwinds of this world.
I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.”
John 16:33
Things are only impossible until they are not.
Your faith and God's guidance allow you to do the impossible. Lean on Him and make Him part of your thought process in everything you do today. Soon you'll discover the impossible is not so far away.
Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
God's kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it's about believing and receiving.
God's blessings await you today. With sincerity and passion, express to God your faith and gratitude and let the blessings flow!
He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him?
Romans 8:32
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
If someone has hurt you to the point that you have found it very difficult to forgive them, consider the tremendous love that God has shown to you. Let this put your grudge into perspective and start working to forgive that person.
If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:6-7
Don't just pray when it rains, pray when the sun shines too.
God wants to be a part of your life EVERY DAY, so talk to Him when times are bad and when times are good. You'll end up with more sunny days this way!
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Let God's promises shine on your problems.
No problem is too big for God. Turn to God in prayer today, confident that He will provide you strength to overshadow your problems. With God All Things Are Possible.
Do not fear: I am with you; do not be anxious: I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
In a world where you can be anything - BE KIND!
As you go through your day, focus on how you are treating others. A kind word or a simple gesture can brighten the day of all around you. Find a way to do this every day.
[And] be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
Ephesians 4:32
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
As you start the New Year, make it a habit to help everyone around you feel great. Try a smile, kind words, listening to them, praise... well you get the idea. Get started right now and continue to make it a priority throughout the year.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
Colossians 3:12

Is it time for you to reset your life? CONTROL Yourself. ALTER Your Thinking. DELETE Negativity.
Remember not the events of the past, the things of long ago consider not; See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? In the wilderness I make a way, in the wasteland, rivers.
Isaiah 43:18-19
