Be strong and take heart for the Lord is my light and my salvation.

Whatever it is that you do—do it well. Do it with purpose. Do it for Him. And at the end of the day, you can say, “It was good.”

God, you are the only thing that matters. Remind me of your goodness and your love.

When you talk to God, it changes you.

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

When the storms of life threaten to overwhelm you and hopelessness is all you know, there is One who can bring peace to troubled lives. Jesus spoke the winds and the waves into submission, and He can calm your storm too. Just ask Him.

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

Life comes with question marks. But we need not fear; God is faithful.
