Trust in Him Start your day by turning on your GPS through prayer. You'll find God's guidance, protection, and strength, which will help you trust Him and experience His presence all throughout the day!

God knows best, and His timing is always exactly right. The fact that I don't feel ready to deal with something in my life doesn't mean that I'm not ready. God's timing is perfect, and His ways are not our ways, but they are higher and better than our ways (see

Today's Thought When the storms of life rage around you, trust that God is going to carry you through the storm and bring you safely to the other side.

A confident person feels safe. She believes she is loved, valuable, cared for, and safe in God's will for her.

Life is easy and full of joy when you depend on God and His leading. Pray for God to lead you to where He wants you to be—even if that means embracing change.

Many people will never succeed at being themselves because they cannot even get into agreement with God.

Perhaps you feel that God did let you down at some time in your life, or that one of His promises did not come true for you. If so, I urge you to realize that God doesn't always work within our time frame or in the ways that we would choose, but if you continue to trust Him, you will see the goodness of God in your life. Trust God at all times, and never give up. This is one of the ways that we can be faithful to God, as He is to us.

Whatever may be troubling you, shake it off! God has great things planned for you. The dreams of the future leave no room for the snakebites of the past.

Insecurity, self-doubt, and fear can totally prevent us from ever reaching our full potential. But if our confidence is in Christ rather than in ourselves, we are free to develop our potential because we are free from the fear of failure.

There are some things that we can do something about, but there are a whole lot of things that we can't do anything about. If it is something we can't do anything about, then we need to let it go and keep our joy. We need to hold our peace - and our tongues - do what is right, and let God work on our behalf.

take responsibility for your joy and never again give anyone else the job of keeping you happy. Add a little variety to your life—break up your routine, do something different, and so on. When you do, expect God to meet you and help make your ordinary… extraordinary!

Lord, if Hezekiah could learn to lean upon and be confident in You, I know that it's also possible for me. Enable me to focus on developing and maximizing my strengths rather than concentrating on my weaknesses. Amen.
