"For I know the plans I have for you," says the...
This is a fairly popular verse, but I thought it was fitting in that today/tomorrow are the first days of 2012. God has a plan for this year! He has plans for you, plans for your future, of good things, never destruction, and things to bring you hope! God will not let you down, though it can feel like sometimes God has forgotten us, but it is all part of His grand plan for each of us. We have a...

Things to do when you're tempted:
Remove yourself from the situation as fast as you can. It takes lots of self-control, but you must learn self-control in order to avoid compromising situations.
Figure out why that is tempting to you. That way, you can avoid any situation that might lead to that temptation.
Pray for guidance and relief from the temptation so that you won’t constantly be struggling against it and can focus...

Is God your motivation?
Do all your actions come from the love for God that you have in your heart? I pray that it is so for all of us.

"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he...
Resist temptation. It’s all we have to do! If we resist the devil, he will flee from us! That’s easy… right? Not exactly. We are sinners by nature, and temptation easily sways us. But if we submit to God and resist the devil, he will leave us alone. Romans 8:31 “If God is for us, who can be against us?” The devil cannot touch us if we have God in our hearts and minds...

Things to do when making decisions:
Pray about it. God will guide you in the direction you need to go.
Ask others to pray for you. Their support is awesome.
Ask for advice from people you trust and have pure Christian hearts. Tell them situation, and listen to what they have to say. They’ll probably give you some sound advice.
Plan out all you will do. Don’t make hasty decisions. Take your time, it’s well worth...

Things to do when you feel like your faith is...
Pray about it. God hears our cries to Him, and He will respond in His time.
Ask for others to pray for you. It’s always good to have support from people you trust.
Grab your Bible. Just open it. Most of the time, God guides your hands to open to right what you need to read. It happens for me all the time. A good verse to check out is Jonah 2:7.
Talk to someone with a pure Christian heart...

Faith is personal and individual.
Your relationship with God is between you and Him. Don’t let a third party get in the way.

"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not...
The desires of the flesh are not limited to sexual desires. Our bodies crave food, water, and things that make it feel good. This varies for each person. How else would we have so many drug addicts, alcoholics, and more? Emotions and thoughts consume us and control us. However, these things can build up to be too much temptation for us, as we are feeble sinners, and we can become controlled by...

"You therefore must endure hardship as a good...
I think I may have shared this verse with you all before, but, it’s worth being shared again. This is a verse I use more often than most because I feel like I face a lot of hardships. I’m sure we all feel this way, we each have our own trials in our daily lives. But, we must endure them. We are a soldier for the Lord, waging war against the world and temptation. As I have posted in the...

Things to do when you're mad:
Clear your mind and count to twenty. If something boils your blood while you’re counting, start over. By the time you reach twenty completely calm, the anger is gone, and you can handle the situation with a clear mind.
Pray about it. God listens.
Distract yourself, in a positive way, until you are able to calm yourself.
Don’t let it control you. Let it go. It’s probably...

"The Lord reigns, Let the earth rejoice, Let the...
The Psalms are a great place to find Praise verses whenever you feel the need. I feel like today I should focus on praising God. God, and Jesus, truly deserve our praise. God gave us His only son to die for us so that we could be redeemed of our endless sins (Romans 3:23) because God loves us so much (John 3:16.) Jesus suffered on a cross for everyone, not just the ones who loved Him. Jesus rose...
