Recipe for a Great Day!



1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.



2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.



3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My…

Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Psalm 31:1

In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.

—Psalm 31:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When all the clutter is stripped away, what is your real hope?
When you push aside the diplomas, awards, accolades, and honors, what is the basis of your significance?
Only one source for hope and only one basis of significance is trustworthy. Only One endures forever! Only our Father in heaven guarantees that the significance of our life endures. So let's place our hope in the LORD. Let's see him as our refuge. Let's trust that he will deliver us because he is righteous and we have placed our hopes in him.

My Prayer...

O LORD, God and Redeemer of our Fathers, Keeper of your many promises, thank you for allowing us to place our hope, future, and significance in your hands. Please give us the courage and the confidence to know that you will not let us be put to shame, but will share with us your righteousness and claim us as your special possession on that day when we stand in your presence in glory. In Jesus' name, we anticipate that day as we pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Matthew 7:1

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

—Matthew 7:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Am I judgmental?
Can I assume I can judge another person's intent?
Am I critical and negative about the actions of others?
Jesus wants us all to realize that only he can accurately know the motivations of someone's heart. When we are harsh or bitingly critical in our judgment of others, we are setting the standard by which God will judge us. I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to exchange God's grace for my unreasonable and judgmental harshness. I'm going to work harder at viewing others with mercy and grace, just as the Savior did when he died to save me (Romans 5:6-11).

My Prayer...

O, dear God, please forgive me for the times when I have been unfairly harsh and critical with my thoughts and actions toward others. Thank you for being so rich and free with your mercy and grace lavished on me in Jesus. O, LORD, I long to be more gracious and merciful in the way I live with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. In Jesus' name, I pray to grow and become more JESUShaped, especially in my graciousness toward others. Amen.

Today's Verse - Psalm 30:5

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

—Psalm 30:5

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

God has been, is, and will be the God of all comfort for both his Old Covenant and New Covenant people (Isaiah 40:1-3; 2 Corinthians 1:3-5). Even when he deals harshly with our sin and rebellion, it is for our good. God's discipline will last only a short while, and then it gives way to rejoicing and the thrill of salvation, redemption, restoration, and renewal. If you are in a time of discipline or facing the cruel consequences of your sin, please don't give up. Morning will come, and on that dawn will come God's gracious healing, joy, and complete salvation, restoration, renewal, and joy. The morning of rejoicing is more than worth the wait through the long, dark nights of weeping!

My Prayer...

Father, please bless your children who are facing hardships and difficulties. Please help them endure through "the night" so that when your dawn comes, they can experience the great rejoicing that lies ahead with you. In particular, LORD, please specifically bless the following people with the strength to endure their hard nights of weeping and bring them into your morning of joy. (Let's mention several people by name who need this blessing!) In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
