Today's Promise: Romans 10:17

If you want to grow in your faith, you must spend time in God's Word. No other practice will help you grow in your faith, like reading and studying the Bible.

Your faith grows as you spend time in the Word of God.

Finally, don't just read the Bible. As you read, ask God to open your heart and let it speak to you. Find ways to apply what you read to your daily life.

Let the Holy Spirit move God's Word from your head to your heart.

Today's Promise: Romans 5:1

Peace. It's a hard thing to come by these days. From political uncertainty to the rise of depression and anxiety, it seems our entire world is suffering from a lack of peace.

Sin keeps us from experiencing peace and puts us at odds with God. There is no peace with God as long as there is sin.

Through faith in Christ, you can face every day knowing you have peace with God.

If you are struggling today, remember you have peace with God through faith in Christ and the promise of peace in every area of your life.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 15:8

Did you know God delights in your prayers? He is excited for you to come into His presence.

So many Christians are reluctant to come to God in prayer. They feel unworthy to lift their voice and may even think, "Surely God has more to do with His time than to listen to my prayers."

They don't realize that God actually delights in their prayer. Did you know that God loves it when you spend time with Him in prayer?

When you pray, God listens. He not only listens, but he is delighted to hear your prayers.

God delights in hearing you today. He wants you to come before Him bringing your needs, prayers, and concerns.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 10:17

We all experience guilt; guilt can be a positive thing. The Holy Spirit can use guilt to bring about conviction and repentance from your sins.

God intentionally chooses to forget your forgiven sin. It doesn't matter if your past was good or bad when your sin was forgiven; God forgot it.

You don't have to live in guilt because God has forgiven your sin. He not only forgives your sin but forgets it.

Your sin has been forgiven and forgotten through your faith and the blood of Jesus Christ.

Today's Promise: James 5:16

Prayer is a powerful weapon. When you pray, you connect with God and release the power of heaven into any situation. Through prayer, people have been saved, healed, and transformed.

You may be thinking that only special and mature Christians can pray effectively. You don't have to have a special anointing or be a preacher to pray with power.

When you pray, things happen. God gets involved in the situation and begins working in the situation.

Prayer releases heavenly forces to battle against the work of Satan in a situation.

Today's Promise: 1 John 2:1

When you became a Christian, Jesus forgave your sin and gave you His rightness before God.

Although you may try to live a life of holiness and obedience, there are times when you fall into sin. Instead of feeling guilty and condemned for what you have done, remember Jesus is on your side. He stands between you and God the Father, and His blood forgives your sin.

Jesus stands between you and God. Instead of God seeing your sin, He sees the righteousness of Jesus in you.

Today’s Promise: John 14:3

One of the greatest promises of scripture is the return of Christ. Jesus promised there would come a time when He would return for His followers. Since the day Jesus ascended into heaven, Christians have been looking forward to the return of Christ.

Jesus said He was preparing a place for each one of us. As His follower, your dwelling place for all eternity is being perfectly designed just for you.

We don't know the time, day, or even the year of His return. Our responsibility is simply to be ready.
