I Love That!
Give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.
-1Thessalonians 5:18[ICB]
It is not possible to thank me too much. I love your praises. Sometimes your praise is an unplanned, in-the-moment, you-just-can’t-help-yourself sort of thing. Perhaps you have just received on e of My blessings or have been overwhelmed by the beauty of My creation, and you are just bursting to tell me about it I love that!
Other times, you stop to think about My blessing, about my presence in your life and you decide to thank Me. I love that kind of praise too.
When you are struggling with a problem, pray about it. Then go ahead and thank Me for the help you know I will give you. This kind of praise means you know I am in control - and I love that!
Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise, and you will find that your life is filled with Me.

Dare to Dream My Dream
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
-Ephesians 3:20-21
Dream your biggest, most incredible dream- and then know that I am able to do far more than that, far more than you could ever ask or imagine. Allow Me to fill your mind with My dreams for you.
Don’t be discouraged if you prayers are not answered right away. Time is a great teacher. It teaches you to be patient and to trust in my perfect plan-even when you don’t know what is going to happen next.
When everything seems way too hard, that is when you can truly see My power at work in your life. Don’t let this world’s craziness drag you into worry. Instead, choose to see all that I am doing around you. Remember, there is no limit to what I can do.

Winning My Way
But we live by faith, not by what we see.
-2 Corinthians 5:7 [CEV]
What does it mean to win? Your friends-and maybe even some grown-ups - may say that winning means never messing up, never failing It is being the best, better than anyone else, and being in total control. That is how this world sees winning.
But I have another definition. Winning-for all eternity- is about letting Me have total control. It is admitting that you need Me, and then trusting Me to lead you.
Don’t just ask Me to bless what you have already decided to do. Ask Me what I want for you. I may fill your heart with a dream that seems impossibly far beyond your reach. And that dream will be bigger than anything you can do on your own. But remember, nothing is beyond My reach.
Yes, you will mess up sometimes, and you will make mistakes. But when you depend on Me, I will yes your mistakes to grow your faith and help you win-My way!

A New Habit
The Lord takes care of his people like a shepherd. He gathers the people like labs in his arms. He carries them close to him. He gently leads the mothers of the lambs. -Isaiah 40:11 [ICB]
Everyone has habits-some are good and some are not so good. Starting today, I want you to learn a new habit. Try saying, “I trust You, Jesus,” no matter what is happening around you. Choose to remember that I am in control of the universe, and that I love you with a love that is higher that any mountain and deeper than any ocean.
By saying, “I trust You, Jesus,” you are saying that you know I am in control of all things and that nothing can defeat Me. It is then that fear loses its grip on you. So when you are facing tough time, trust Me to guide you through them and use the to grow your faith. Trusting Me is a habit you won’t ever want to break

Choose Me
“But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are getting worried and upset about too many things. Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the right thing, and it will never be taken away from her.”-Luke 10:41-42[ICB]

Even now your thoughts are racing ahead to today’s plans and problems. But put those thoughts and worries aside. Just thing about Me and how much I love you. I know exactly what is going to happen in your life today. Don’t worry, I will give you every thing you need to face your day.
