January 1 Morning Devotion Scripture: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." —Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Reflection: As you begin your day, consider the profound wisdom in these verses. Life often presents us with situations that can be confusing and overwhelming. Our natural inclination is to rely on our own understanding and instincts. However, Proverbs 3:5-6 invites us to a deeper level of trust—one that involves surrendering our plans and worries to God. Trusting in the Lord with all your heart means giving Him your fears, uncertainties, and the areas of life you can't control. It’s about acknowledging that His wisdom surpasses ours and that His plans for us are good. Prayer: Heavenly Father, as I start this day, help me to trust You with all my heart. I surrender my plans and my worries to You. Guide my steps and give me the wisdom to follow Your path. Help me to lean not on my own understanding but to seek Your guidance in every decision I make. May Your presence be with me throughout the day, and may I bring glory to Your name in all I do. Amen. Meditative Thought: Take a moment to write down any worries or decisions that are on your mind. Pray over each one, asking God for His guidance and trusting that He will make your path straight. Evening Devotion Scripture: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." —Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Reflection: As the day draws to a close, reflect on how you trusted in the Lord today. Were there moments when you leaned on your own understanding rather than seeking God’s guidance? Were there situations where you felt the peace that comes from submitting to Him? God’s promise is clear: when we trust Him completely and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will guide us. This evening, take comfort in knowing that God is in control and that He is faithful to lead you. Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for being with me throughout this day. I confess that there were moments when I relied on my own understanding instead of seeking Your wisdom. Forgive me and help me to trust You more fully. As I rest tonight, I submit my heart and my plans to You. Guide me and give me peace, knowing that You are making my path straight. Thank You for Your constant love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, Amen. Meditative Thought: Before you go to bed, take a few minutes to reflect on your day. Write down any instances where you felt God’s guidance or where you struggled to trust Him. Offer these reflections to God in prayer, asking for greater trust and reliance on Him for tomorrow.
