I pray this daily, and offer it to those who want to join me in thriving for God each day!
T – Take all your worries to Me (God), every single big and little thing on your heart right now. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Phil 4:6)
H – Hope in Christ and the perfection of God, “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matt 6:20)
R – Rest in My plans for you today, in this very moment even, versus your own agenda. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11).
I – Invest in relationships, yes, even the ones where there has been loss and scarring and lack of hope. Those relationships are not by coincidence, though work is often needed – do the work and keep meeting and resting in between. “Not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:25).
V – Value what you have now, in this very moment. “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” (Phil 4:12).
E – Enjoy your life again, knowing I (God) am at work and you are going to thrive now. “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1st Thess 5:16-18).
