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 127:1

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.

Psalm 127:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"It's all up to me!"

That's the prevailing mindset for high achievers in our world. But this assumption is wrong. Our efforts to build and be a part of something great and lasting are ultimately in vain if the LORD doesn't bless them and empower them. They may flourish for a time under our intense efforts, but if the plans and the construction of great things are not from the LORD, they won't stand the test of time. However, when we partner with the LORD and seek him and his kingdom first, he is "able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us" (Ephesians 3:20).

My Prayer...

Almighty God and Eternal Father, please forgive me for trying to make everything happen by my own efforts and relentless work. You can do far more to advance my work for your kingdom than all my worry and fretfulness could ever accomplish. Please take the lead in every aspect of my life and ministry; defeat me in efforts not in harmony with your will, and please empower those efforts to bring you glory and draw others to your grace. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Matthew 6:33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"Seek first his kingdom"!"

"Seek first... his righteousness"!

Seeking the kingdom of God first is the primary focus of today's verse and the Sermon of the Mount where it is found. "Seek first..." is Jesus' robust, prioritizing command. God's kingdom must be the passionate pursuit of our lives. Seeking the LORD's kingdom, and his righteousness must not just be our wish, our hope, our dream — it must be our passion. We will pursue God's kingdom at all costs. We will pursue it with all of our passion. Seeking God's kingdom first will be our consuming effort until we find it our home!

My Prayer...

Forgive me, dear LORD, for letting my passion for your kingdom and your character get pushed to the side in my priorities. I want to make it first. I want to seek your kingdom and your righteousness first! So, please awaken me each morning with a sense of prioritizing focus for your work and your will for each day. Father, I want to be a passionate seeker of your kingdom first, so please make me restless for your kingdom as my home. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Psalm 37:28

For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever...

Psalm 37:28

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Don't you love the term for God's people when they live for him? They are "his faithful ones"! The LORD is committed to his people. He will not forget his people, those who seek to honor him by displaying his righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful love and justice (Exodus 34:6). God has promised to honor his promises to his people and preserve them with his protecting power, forever. As God has promised, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6; Hebrews 13:5-6).

My Prayer...

Eternal and Faithful Father, thank you for your great promises. I am thrilled at the reminder of your faithful presence in my life. I fully believe I can entrust my future to you and that you will bring me into your presence with victory and great joy. Thank you for my sure and steadfast hope. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
