In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.

Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift.
EPhesians 4:7 msg
When you choose to put your faith in God, you receive spiritual gifts. God gives you these special abilities so you can help others see Him more clearly. Ask God to help you understand and use the gifts He has so graciously given to you.
Dear Father, thank You for the unique gifts You have given me. Please develop them in me so I can serve You and glorify You. Amen.
Evening
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
1 Corinthians 12:4–6 niv
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
1 Peter 4:10 nlt
The Bible encourages us to use our abilities in ways that honor God. Some abilities may take center stage, while others work quietly in the background. Just do what you can with what you have in ways that make God smile.
Dear Father, may I use the gifts You have given me to honor You and draw others to You. Amen.
DAY 2
Abundant Life

Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?
James 2:5 niv
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13 niv
Being rich in faith is the secret to leading an abundant life, because faith allows us to see life from God’s perspective. We begin to appreciate how much we have, instead of focusing on what we think we lack. We understand that what’s of eternal worth is more valuable than our net worth.
Dear God, I want the abundant kind of life that comes from You alone. Please fill me up with faith and joy and peace. Amen.
Evening
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10 nkjv
In Jesus’ day, the people of Israel believed the Savior would restore Israel to its former power and prosperity. Jesus exceeded their expectations. Jesus offered them an abundance of riches that couldn’t be stolen or lose value—true treasures like joy, peace, forgiveness, and eternal life. Jesus offers these same treasures to you. All you need to do is put your faith in Him.
Dear Lord, in You are the treasures I long for, the only riches that will satisfy my soul. Thank You for abundant life. Amen.

Morning
The Spirit makes us sure God will accept us because of our faith in Christ.

Then Peter began to speak:
“I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.”
Acts 10:34–35 niv
God accepts you completely. You don’t need to clean up your language, change your lifestyle, or step inside of a church. Once you put your faith in Jesus, things between you and God are made right. Period.
Dear Father, because of Jesus I can come to You in full acceptance, and I am forever grateful. Thank You! Amen.

Whatever you believe God wants you to do, big or small, don’t hold back. Today, take at least one step toward your goal. With God’s help, you’ll accomplish everything He’s set out for you to do.
Dear God, it is only because of You that I can accomplish anything. May my work be pleasing to You and give You all the glory. Amen.
Evening
“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
LUke 1:45 niv
It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
PhiliPPians 2:13 niv
God sees the time, energy, and heart you put into your work. Better yet, He adds His own power to your efforts. This means that with God, you can accomplish things you could never do solely on your own. That’s something truly worth celebrating—with God!
Dear God, please give me wisdom to know Your will and the good goals You have for me, and help me to accomplish them with Your power. Amen.
DAY 5
Hope
Morning
We live by faith, not by sight.

DAY 6
Spiritual Arsenal
Morning
Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil’s tricks.
EPhesians 6:11 cev
Be ready! Let the truth be like a belt around your waist, and let God’s justice protect you like armor. Your desire to tell the good news about peace should be like shoes on your feet. Let your faith be like a shield, and you will be able to stop all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Let God’s saving power be like a helmet, and for a sword use God’s message that comes from the Spirit.
EPhesians 6:14–17 cev
The armor God offers is neither make-believe nor outdated. It’s a spiritual arsenal of offensive and defensive gear. It includes weapons such as truth, righteousness, peace, and faith. Dear God, please equip me with Your powerful armor. Amen.

DAY 7
Everyday Faith
Morning
Without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and rewards everyone who searches for him.
Hebrews 11:6 cev
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
EPhesians 2:8–9 esv
Some women keep their faith tucked away like a family heirloom, displaying it only on holidays like Easter and Christmas. But if you truly believe what God says is true, faith will be part of your everyday life.
Dear Father, I never want to keep my faith tucked away. Help me to live it out daily. Amen.
Evening
Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1 nlt
We are shown to be right with God by what we do, not by faith alone. Rahab the prostitute is another example. She was shown to be right with God by her actions when she hid those messengers and sent them safely away by a different road. Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.
James 2:24–26 nlt
Faith is more than words of comfort. It’s a shield that can protect you from an assault of doubt or the temptation to do something you know goes against God’s plan for you. Take faith with you wherever you go.
Dear Father, thank You for being worthy of my faith, the only one who is. I want my faith to be evident in all I do. Amen.
DAY 8
God’s Promises

And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

Dear God, in the times I start to worry and doubt, please remind me of Your faithfulness to Your promises and give me peace. Amen.
Evening
Christ says “Yes” to all God’s promises. This is why we have Christ to say “Amen” for us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20 cev
I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives. This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God— who does not lie—promised them before the world began.
TitUs 1:1–2 nlt
God has promised we’re loved, forgiven, cared for, and destined for heaven. Rest in the fact that what God promises, He delivers.
Dear God, You have proven over and over that I can trust Your promises. Thank You! Amen.
DAY 9
Jesus’ Compassion
Morning
When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
Mark 6:34 esv
When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Matthew 14:14 esv
Even those who don’t believe Jesus is God can agree that He was an extraordinary person. The way Jesus selflessly loved others, reaching out to people society cast aside—including women—demonstrates an attitude of compassion, humility, and service.
Dear Jesus, Your compassion and love are inspiring. I want to be more like You. Amen.
Evening
The LORD answered, “Could a mother forget a child who nurses at her breast? Could she fail to love an infant who came from her own body? Even if a mother could forget, I will never forget you.”
Isaiah 49:15 cev
But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
Psalm 86:15 nlt
We’re drawn to those who sincerely care for us. That’s one reason we’re drawn toward Jesus. Believing in a God who believes in us doesn’t feel risky. It feels like accepting a free invitation to be loved unconditionally.
Dear Father, Your unconditional, merciful love carries me through the highest highs and lowest lows of life. I am so grateful to be Your child. Amen.
DAY 10
Faith That Does Not Fail
Morning
Faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.
Romans 10:17 nlt
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fi xing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
Hebrews 12:1–2 niv
Faith, in and of itself, is nothing more than trust. If you place your trust in something that isn’t trustworthy, your faith is futile. You can have faith that money grows on trees, but ultimately that faith isn’t going to help you pay your bills.
Dear Lord, You alone are worthy of my faith and trust, and I praise You! Amen.
Evening
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 niv
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

Putting your faith in Jesus is smart. Historical and biblical eyewitness accounts back up Jesus’ claims. Consequently, trusting in Jesus is both logical and powerful. It’s a faith that won’t fail.
Dear Lord, I want my life to be a testimony that believing in You and living for You are both logical and powerful. Amen.
Morning
Heart Changes
Jesus went to Galilee preaching the Message of God: “Time’s up! God’s kingdom is here. Change your life and believe the Message.”
Mark 1:14–15 msg
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2 esv
Your beliefs will influence the choices you make. If you believe in gravity, you won’t jump from a seventh-story balcony to save time getting to your hair appointment. If you believe what Jesus says, you’ll change the way you live.
Dear Lord, in all that I do, help me to make choices that please You. Amen.
Evening
My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
Proverbs 3:1–2 niv
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 3:3–4 niv
Jesus often talks about the importance of traits such as honesty, purity, and generosity. Though God’s Spirit helps change your heart, it’s the daily choices you make that help bring traits like these to maturity.
Father God, please develop in me the traits that mature my faith and draw me closer and closer to You. Amen.
DAY 12
Life Letter
Morning

John 20:31 cev
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Psalm 119:105 niv
The Bible is like a letter from your best friend. In it, God shares how much He loves you, what He’s been up to since the creation of the world, and what He plans to do in the future.
Dear Father, thank You so much for Your Word that teaches, encourages, and guides me through life. Amen.
Evening
All Scripture is Godbreathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:16 niv
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 esv
You’re an important part of God’s plans. The life you live through faith is the letter you write in return. But others will also sneak a peek at your “life letter”; in fact, the life you live may be the only Bible some people ever read.
Dear God, I want my life le er to encourage others to know and love and follow You. Please help me to keep a good testimony. Amen.
Morning
DAY 13 Into Practice
Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon.
EPhesians 6:14–17 msg
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
James 1:22 niv
What you do with God’s words is ultimately what you decide to do with God. If you read the Bible for inspiration, without application, your faith will never be more than a heartwarming pastime.
God, I don’t just want to hear Your Word. I want to be eternally changed by it, and I want to live it out. Please help me. Amen.
Evening
If you hear the message and don’t obey it, you are like people who stare at themselves in a mirror and forget what they look like as soon as they leave. But you must never stop looking at the perfect law that sets you free. God will bless you in everything you do, if you listen and obey, and don’t just hear and forget.
James 1:23–25 cev
While it’s true the Bible can be a source of comfort, it’s also a source of power and an instrument of change. Invite God’s Spirit to sear the Bible’s words into your heart. Then step out in faith and put what you’ve learned into practice.
Holy Spirit, I invite You to sear the Word of God into my heart, that I might love it and live it. Amen.
DAY 14
Believing Without Seeing
Morning
Jesus said, “So, you believe because you’ve seen with your own eyes. Even be er blessings are in store for those who believe without seeing.”
John 20:29 msg
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
Mark 9:24 esv
If you’re searching for a pair of shoes, you don’t rely on a salesperson’s description. You want to see them. Try them on. Walk around in them awhile. The same is true when it comes to trying on faith for size.
Dear God, sometimes I struggle to believe in You, but my own sinful nature is what makes me falter. Please renew and strengthen my faith in You through Your Spirit and Your Word. Amen.
Evening
Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
John 11:40 niv
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7 esv
We long to see the one we’ve chosen to place our faith in. But Jesus says believing without seeing holds its own special reward. Ask Jesus to help you better understand those blessings as you walk in faith today.
Dear Father, please remind me of the special blessings that come from walking by faith and not by sight. You are so good and generous, God! Amen.
DAY 15
All Kinds of Blessings
Morning
“Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus.”
Acts 3:19–20 msg
The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
Proverbs 10:22 nlt
Blessings are gifts straight from God’s hand. Some of them are tangible, like the gift of a chance acquaintance leading to a job offer that winds up helping to pay the bills. Others are less concrete.
Heavenly Father, help me to count daily all the blessings You have given me. I am so grateful, and I want to be more aware of all Your blessings and grow in gratitude. Amen.
Evening
Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.
James 1:17 nlt
Because of all that the Son is, we have been given one blessing after another.
John 1:16 cev
Blessings may come wrapped in things like faith, joy, clarity, and contentment that appear seemingly out of nowhere amid difficult circumstances. The more frequently you thank God for His blessings, the more aware you’ll be of how many more there are to thank Him for.
Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for all You do in my life and all You have given me. May I never forget that all good things come from You. Amen.
DAY 16
Giving Up Burdens
Morning
Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
Psalm 55:22 nlt
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
1 Peter 5:7 nlt
It’s important for us women to do some heavy lifting as we age. Weightbearing exercise helps keep our bones strong and our muscles toned. But bearing mental and emotional weight is another story. These don’t build us up; they break us down.
Father God, please forgive me for all the ways I worry. Your Word tells me to give my anxiety to You in exchange for Your peace. Thank You! Amen.
Evening
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
Matthew 11:28–29 esv
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.
PhiliPPians 4:6–7 nlt
Allow faith to become your personal trainer when it comes to what’s weighing heavily on your mind and heart. God knows how much weight you can bear. Invite Him to carry what you cannot.
Right now I choose to place my worries, fears, and anxious thoughts into Your loving, allpowerful care, Lord. Amen.
Morning
DAY 17
Turning Worries into Prayers
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, le ing God know your concerns.
PhiliPPians 4:6 msg
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
PhiliPPians 4:19 niv
If you can’t be assured that all of your loved ones’ physical and emotional needs are being met, fretting about them makes you feel involved—like you’re loving them, even if you’re powerless to help. But you know Someone who does have the power to help.
Dear God, You are the only one who can provide all our needs. Your power and provision are sufficient in any and every circumstance. I trust You! Amen.
Evening
Don’t worry and ask yourselves, “Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?” Only people who don’t know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows you need all of these. But more than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well. Don’t worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.
Matthew 6:31–34 cev
Anytime you feel the weight of worry, whether it’s over someone else’s problems or your own, let faith relieve you of the burden. Turn your worries into prayers.
Oh Father, it’s so hard not to worry sometimes. Help me to choose, moment by moment, to let You lift my anxious burdens as I come to You in prayer. Amen.
DAY 18

Hebrews 11:23 niv
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous— how well I know it.
Psalm 139:13–14 nlt
No mother’s child is “ordinary.” Love enables parents to see their children’s unique gifts and potential—and instills in them the desire to protect their children at any cost. Your heavenly Father feels the same way about you and your children.
Heavenly Father, I am so blessed to be Your child, and I’m so thankful for Your love and protection of me and the extraordinary children You’ve given me. Amen.
Evening
But Jesus said, “Let the li le children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14 esv
Don’t be cruel to any of these li le ones! I promise you their angels are always with my Father in heaven.
Matthew 18:10 cev
When fear for your children’s health or happiness threatens your peace of mind, let faith put your mind at ease. God cares for your children in ways that reach far beyond your own abilities.
Father, remind me daily that You love my children even more than I do. Please give me peace as I trust You to care for them. Amen.
DAY 19
God-Confidence
Morning

2 Corinthians 3:5 cev

Almighty God, please humble me and remind me that everything I am and everything I can do comes from You. Amen.
Evening
For the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
Proverbs 3:26 esv
The Fear-of- GOD builds up confidence, and makes a world safe for your children.
Proverbs 14:26 msg
Living a life of faith means trading self-confidence for God-confidence.
It means holding your head high because you know you’re loved and God’s Spirit is working through you.
Dear God, I want all my confidence to be in You. You are so good and loving and gracious to me. Amen.
DAY 20
Nothing to Fear
Morning
The blood of Jesus gives us courage to enter the most holy place by a new way that leads to life! And this way takes us through the curtain that is Christ himself.
Hebrews 10:19–20 cev
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD!
Psalm 31:24 esv
Imagine standing before a holy, almighty, and perfect God and being judged for how you’ve lived your life. Every poor choice, selfi sh action, and moment of rebellion would be exposed. Sounds downright terrifying, doesn’t it? But through our faith in Jesus, we have nothing to fear.
Dear Lord, thank You that Jesus has covered my sin with His precious blood and I have nothing to fear when I stand before You. Amen.
Evening
Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
