Matthew 21:22
And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.

Every time you lean toward heaven with open hands, you begin to sense that you’re not speaking into empty air. Your cries, hopes, and heartaches are heard by the One who actually responds. You might not see change right away. But something holy is happening in your heart. Just make sure you’re ready for His answers because they might look different than you ever imagined.

Matthew 28:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Making disciples can feel overwhelming when you think it all depends on you. But the weight lifts when you remember it’s God’s Spirit who does the real work. Your part is simply to show up—share what He’s done in your life, love people right where they are, and trust Him with the outcome.

Deuteronomy 15:11
For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’

Have you ever been somewhere that had a fruit basket? It kind of makes you want to just grab a piece and enjoy it. That’s how we should see the resources God has given us. They aren’t meant to be held tightly or kept just for ourselves—they’re meant to be shared with open hands. So, whatever you have to give today, simply place it in your “basket” and see what God does with it.

John 17:21
(Jesus prays) that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in me, and I in You, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.

Christians aren’t always known for getting along. Which is why one of Jesus’ last prayers on Earth was for his followers to be one. So, you can either be discouraged that it looks like Jesus’ prayer hasn’t been answered—or realize that YOU have an opportunity to be part of God’s answer. Which will you choose?

Psalm 118:1
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!

Gratitude doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means choosing to look for the goodness of God even when things aren’t. Gratitude shifts your focus from your ever-changing circumstances to a never-changing God. It reminds you that He is still at work in places you can’t see yet—and when you do notice, that will only deepen your desire to give thanks.

Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of olive fail, and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

How do you praise the Lord when life feels hard? Maybe you’ve lost your job, your finances are tight, or you just don’t know what’s next. The key is remembering that even in seasons of loss and uncertainty, joy isn’t found in circumstances—it’s found in God Himself, who never fails and whose love never runs out.
