1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

When you stop to think about everything God does every single day, you realize there’s no way we could ever thank Him enough. He pours out new mercies every morning. He listens and responds to our prayers. And then there are all the things He does that we never see. But when you choose to tell God, “Thank you,” for all that He’s done— it not only brings honor to Him, it opens the door for your gratitude to grow.

Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

The Christian life is not an exercise of willpower to believe an impossible fairytale. It’s not a motivation playlist to pump you up with pithy peptalks. It’s a God-fueled heart-belief in the greatest news of all time, and the transforming peace God gives goes beyond description.

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Prayer isn’t fancy. Half my prayers start with, “Lord, I’m a mess—help.” And He does. He listens. He responds. Why not take these 30 days in January to let prayer become part of your day… not your last resort. Just one whisper to God can change your whole day.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

If anyone had a reason to be anxious about the future, it was Jesus. He knew that His mission was to one day be crucified for your sins… I don’t know about you, but that would make it pretty hard for me to live carefree. But Jesus didn’t let the future distract Him from the present. Every day was an opportunity to serve God, who holds every day in His hands… even the ones you worry about.

1 John 3:17
But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?

Life moves fast. And I’ve noticed that when I slow down, I’m more likely to notice the people around me who are in need. Sometimes I wonder if my small effort will really matter. But God has a way of multiplying even the smallest gestures. When I choose to reach out with an act of generosity, something changes in me too. And that’s part of God’s beautiful plan—that His generous love toward us would shape our hearts and make us generous in giving it away.

Proverbs 3:16
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

When wisdom is close by your side, you’re walking how God wants you to walk. This is no insider-trading tip giving you a cheat code to money and fame; instead, wisdom – which is to honor God first – leads to real prosperity. It’s not about a secret handshake or special knowledge; it’s simply asking God for the strength to lean on His word instead of your strength.
