"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

MATTHEW 6:33 NIV

A new year, a fresh start! Its time for some New Years resolutions! Everyone makes resolutions like spend more time with family or watch less TV, and while those are excellent goals, what if you made a resolution to prioritize your relationship with God?

God should be at the center of your life, and yet He is often pushed aside by the busyness of life. Whether its school, extracurricular activities, friendships, or the Internet, many things often shove our relationship with God to the fringes. Think about how often you talk to your best friend. What if you talked to God as often? Think about how great your relationship with God would be then! Make it a priority this year to spend more time with Him. He longs to hear from you! He will always welcome you back with open arms.

Dear God, thank You for keeping me in the palm of Your hand, even when I act like You are not a priority to me. Help me to seek You in all things. Direct my path, and give me the wisdom to recognize Your guidance in my life.

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

PSALM 107:1 ESV

T he culture around you has the mentality of more is always better, and that can be a hard thing to fight against. You may feel pressure from people at school to worry about having the latest brand-name clothes or expensive electronics. The commercials on television encourage you to buy the latest and greatest new things, and models in designer fashions stare up at you from the pages of glossy magazines. You might begin to think that you need these things to be happy. However, these things are not the way to true happiness.

Everything in your life is a gift from God, and that is the reason to be thankful! He provides for His people in the most amazing ways! Material goods are not the key to happiness. They only lead to more discontent. Instead, work toward being content with what you already have: a family that loves you, friends that are there when you need them, and the love of a Savior who provides for your every need. Thank God today for the many blessings He has added to your life!

Dear God, Im sorry that I forget what is really important. Remind me that a thankful heart is a happy heart and to be thankful for what You have given me! You are generous and have given me more than I deserve. Amen.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

PSALM 147:3 ESV
