“I set my face toward the Lord God to seek by prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes" (Daniel 9:3). Confession isn't my first go-to in prayer, but I know it's a crucial part of how God works in me and is necessary for true change. God's kindness leads me to repentance, and when I confess my sins to Him, He promises to forgive them. ~ Christie Thomas Have you lost the desire to regularly confess your sins?

“I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness" (Ecclesiastes 7:25). When I consider the idea of turning our hearts to wisdom, I imagine setting off on a treasure hunt with wisdom as the prize. In Ecclesiastes, we are told that Solomon turned his heart to know wisdom, to search it out and to seek it. What if we sought wisdom as diligently as treasure hunters search for buried treasure? ~ Becky Daye What would change in your life if you pursued wisdom as passionately as a child searching for buried treasure?

“Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few" (Ecclesiastes 5:2). Why do we pontificate and act as if we know so much when we really don't? It's not just in parenting. We do the same thing in many areas of life. We think we have solutions to situations others face. We presume we know answers to questions we've never actually been forced to ask. Do you struggle to trust God when you can't see what He's doing?

“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27). Sometimes we complicate things that scripture makes clear. Our real life, the gritty of every day, creeps onto the scene of what we believe to be true—what we know full well when we sit in quiet with our Bible splayed open in our laps—begins to cloud a bit.

"...but Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way" (Daniel 1:8). Have you ever been in the middle of an ordinary situation, whether all alone or perhaps at a more social event, and sensed God's quiet voice nudging you in one way or another? Maybe a warning as simple as, do not say what you're about to say, or don't eat that. The question is, what do you do when it happens? ~ Monica Swanson Do you choose God's voice over excuses or justification?

“Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright" (Proverbs 20:11). The best tool for teaching a child is God's work in us. They watch as we work and listen as we speak. They see as we feel and hear us respond. They take note how we serve and tune into our tone. God's work in a mother is the pattern for the work He does in her child. ~ Julie Sanders If someone followed you, what deeds would they see and hear as evidence or testimony of your life?

“Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, ‘Shadrack, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!’ So Shadrack Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, and governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; Their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them" (Daniel 3:26-27). Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego spent time with God daily—giving him glory, seeking his face, and openly proclaiming their devotion to him. When the time for the furnace came, those who had seen and heard their witness could not discount the source of their very lives: the Most High God. ~ Laura Lee Groves Do you struggle to make choices in the hard times of life that prove God is faithful to those around you?

“And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, ‘Which commandment is the most important of all?’ Jesus answered, ‘The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength'" (Mark 12:28-30). All God has really asked of us is for us to love him with everything we have—heart, body, soul, strength. Everything goes back to that love. It really is as simple as it seems. We are the ones who complicate it. ~ Michelle Krol Do you struggle to accept God's love for you, or do you run away when life gets hard?

You've probably seen the meme that says, “I love Jesus and I cuss a little!” It's meant to be funny, but is it funny when held up to the measuring stick of God's word? The words that we choose to speak reflect what is in our hearts. Just choosing to eliminate words from our vocabulary is not the answer. We need to evaluate and find out why those words are a part of our vocabulary in the first place. ~ Gina Smith Do you question whether or not God cares about the words you choose to use?

“But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her’” (Luke 10:41-42). Most of my life, especially since becoming a mom, I have been in what feels like a constant rotation of busyness, overwhelm, anxiety, and frustration over all there is to do. Marthas, like myself, like to push back against the idea of resting because someone has to do it all. But the truth is that sometimes we need to slow down and sit at Jesus’ feet. ~ Amber Palmer Do you struggle to be intentional about making space to get with Jesus and receive His peace?

“And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; We are perishing.’ And he said to them, ‘why are you afraid, O you of little faith?’ Then he rose and rebuked to the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm period and the men marveled, saying, ‘What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him'" (Matthew 8:25-27). I need to remember daily that I cannot save myself. I do not have that authority or power. But thankfully I know the one who does. No matter the storm life throws at me, I can do as Habakkuk did in Habakkuk 3:17-19 and take a position that no matter what storms might come, “I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength.” ~ Erin H. Warren Is there an area of your life where you struggle to trust in his power and authority?

“This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith" (1 Timothy 1:18-19). We may not know why bad things happen to us, but it's important to stay true to our faith through it all. We must trust that the Lord has his reasons for allowing things to happen to us. Sometimes, God has a lesson to teach us or to teach others through us. Regardless of his reasons, we can always rest in the knowledge that the Lord is in control.~ Connie Albers Have you struggled to live out your faith when you don't understand what God's doing?

“Then Daniel went to his house and informed his friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, about the matter. So that they might request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon" (Daniel 2:17-18). Over the years, having a group of friends I know will actually pray when I ask for help, who have supported me, encouraged me, corrected me, and poured life into me in the name of Jesus—has blessed me beyond measure. Those are the kind of friends I beg God to give my children.  The kind who will do anything to get them to Jesus. ~ Brooke McGlothlin Are you concerned about the influence of friends in your child's life?

“And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, ‘You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.’ But he denied it, saying, ‘I neither know nor understand what you mean.’ And he went out into the gateway and the rooster crowed'" (Mark 14:66-68). Whatever valley of doubt, worry, or fear we walk through, God has always gone before us! He opens doors of stone, shines light in the darkness, and sends messages to guide us as we continue to seek him. ~Julie Kieras Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). Mary the mother of Jesus, began to store up her experiences with Christ and ponder them in her heart long before she knew what he would do for the world. She didn't know that she would be able to live with resurrection power because of her son, but she chose to hold on to what she knew and ponder it. ~Christie Thomas Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). John 3:16 is probably the most well known bible verse of all time. Children memorize it. Street corner preachers put it on signs. Quarterbacks write it on their eye black. Most of us can easily rattle it off without giving much thought to its meaning. God loved us so much that he was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save us from death and give us eternal life. A Christian friend once told me that motherhood is a season of sacrifice. As moms, we set aside many of our own desires to nurture and care for our children. But the sacrifices I make pale in comparison to the sacrifice my savior made for me. ~Suzanne Gosselin Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the son of man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter replied, ‘You are Christ, the son of the living God.’ And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven'" (Matthew 16:13-17). In order for us to be a living testimony, one that will point others to the character of our father, we must get to know him by immersing ourselves in his word. The Bible is not a book about us, and it is not a book of answers and applications for us to read and apply to our personal problems. It is a book about God, his character, and how he works in the lives of his people. ~Gina Smith Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin" (Psalm 51:1-2)! On the cross, Christ absorbed all the sin of the world into his own body. Like a sponge, he soaked in every iniquity from time past to time future. As a covering, Christ stands between US and God, so God no longer sees our sins, but only Jesus. Our sins are covered, blotted out. Washed away. ~Julie Kieras Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

“But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head" (Psalm 3:3). In a time of danger, David believed in the power and desire of God to be the shield he desperately needed. The opposition said, “there is no salvation for him in God,” but God's peace proved them wrong. How have you experienced unfairness or disgrace? What would you say to God the shield if you confided your need for protection to him? What would it take for you to lay down and rest in total peace? ~Julie Sanders Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!

"Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly" (Proverbs 14:29). The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. It doesn't even produce godliness in our kids. In fact, this week's passage tells us that when we rush to anger, we are exalting foolishness. Uggg. You know what it looks like. You've got a busy day planned, but if everything goes right, you can get it done. Your 11-year-old picks just that time to have one of those preteen meltdowns. He or she starts throwing around accusations. "You don't love me. You don't care about me. You don't understand me!" It's hard not to lose your temper. ~Melanie Young Tune in now to listen to today's entire devotion and start your day off praying God's Word for your family!
