Everyday Faith

Most days don’t bring those epic events that make us hit our knees in fervent prayer. We wake up to the things we need, navigate the usual nuisances, and sometimes take for granted the little blessings along the way. But it’s good to remember that we were created to draw near and depend on our Maker in the everyday moments as well as the take-our-breath-away times. Our very existence is a miracle, and we get to wake up with that every day of our lives! Think about the things you enjoy in your life today that used to be just a hope in your heart. Consider those people who would give so much to have the kind of life you’re living right now. And what about those little issues you’ve swept under the rug that could be lifted up in prayer—the ones you’ve dismissed as insignificant? Nothing’s ever too small to give thanks for or to ask for help with. It all matters because you matter, infinitely, to the One who made you. Never forget that He wants to be a part of your everyday, too. 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. —Ephesians 1:3 KJV 

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! —Psalm 34:8 NKJV 

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. —I Thessalonians 5:18 ESV 

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. —James 1:17 NASB
