You are not alone. When you’re fighting an uphill battle and feel like you just can’t go on, God is with you.

We prepare to pray, yet our minds wander and every distraction is magnified. That’s when we simply bow our hearts and say, “Lord, teach us to pray!”

Do you ever feel like you’re drowning? Like there’s an ocean of pain and problems and you can’t breathe? But there is One who saves. Who rescues. Who brings your life out of the deep and into the light. His name is Jesus, and He wants to rescue you. Read more: http://odb.org/2015/02/24/longing-for-rescue/

God renews our spirits even during the struggles. We can keep going in this life and look with anticipation to the next.

God, you know me. You planned every intricate detail of my body, my soul, and my personality. And I love you for that.

People or things will try to distract you, but keep going.

Out of nothing, God made something. With mere spoken words, He made something that looked like Him—us! And it was all so good.

Our plan is not always God’s plan. Even if we walk through darkness and uncertainty, He makes our steps light because He is our strength.

Kids love to imitate. That’s how they learn. And just as we pass down our wisdom, skills, or hobbies to our children, God asks us to follow His example. There’s no better way to learn how to love life and live life than from the One who created us.

Whether breaking bread around a table or coming together around the Word of God, it’s good to be with other believers. We find common ground, encouragement, and happy hearts. Fellowship is one of God’s greatest gifts to His children.
