September 6th 2025 – I Trust You Jesus

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

In a world filled with uncertainty and chaos, the invitation to trust in Jesus stands as a beacon of hope. Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us to trust in Jesus with all our heart and not to depend on our understanding ot the situation. These words resonate deeply, encouraging us to release the burdens we often carry and to lean into His wisdom rather than our limited perspectives.

Trusting Jesus means surrendering our need for control and allowing Him to guide our steps ahead. It’s easy to look back, to dwell on past mistakes or missed opportunities, but Jesus calls us to look forward with faith. John 14:1 reassures us, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” In moments of doubt or fear, we can find peace in His presence, knowing that He holds our future.

Faith is not merely an intellectual agreement; it’s a profound relationship built on trust. As Galatians 2:16 states, “Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ.” This faith liberates us from the weight of the law and invites us into a life defined by grace. When we put our trust in Him, we are made right with God, not by our own efforts, but through His unending love.

Consider the areas of your life where you may be struggling to trust Jesus completely. What fears or doubts are holding you back? Take a moment to pray, inviting God to strengthen your faith and to help you release those burdens.

As you go about your day, remember that trusting Jesus is a daily choice. Each step forward is an opportunity to embrace His guidance and to leave behind what weighs you down. In Him, you can find strength, hope, and a future filled with promise. Trust in the Lord, for He is faithful!

“Trusting in Jesus means embracing the unknown with faith, knowing that every step I take is guided by His unwavering love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, As I come before You today, I want to thank You for Your unwavering presence in my life. I acknowledge that trusting You fully can be a challenge, especially when the path ahead seems unclear. Yet, I am reminded of Your promises and the assurance that You have a plan for me. Help me to let go of my fears and anxieties, and to place my trust in You completely.

Lord, I pray for the strength to surrender my understanding and to lean solely on Your wisdom. Teach me to seek Your will in every aspect of my life—my relationships, my work, and my dreams. May I find comfort in knowing that You are guiding my steps, even when I cannot see the way forward.

I ask for Your peace to fill my heart, especially during times of uncertainty. Remind me that I do not have to carry my burdens alone; I can lay them at Your feet. Help me to trust that You are always working for my good, even when circumstances seem overwhelming.

As I navigate the challenges of life, may I be a reflection of Your love and grace to those around me. Equip me to encourage others to trust in You, just as I am learning to do. Let my faith be a testament to Your goodness and faithfulness.

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of faith in Jesus Christ, through whom I am made right with You. Help me to remember that my worth is not defined by my achievements or failures, but by Your unconditional love.

In moments of doubt, remind me of Your promise, that I should not let my heart be troubled. Instead, let me find peace in trusting You and in Your perfect plan for my life.

I place my trust in You today and every day, knowing that You are with me every step of the way. Thank You for loving me, guiding me, and for the hope I have in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

August 22nd 2025 – Trusting God With Our Children

Leave a reply

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

As parents, we often bear the weight of our children’s choices, especially when those choices lead them away from the faith we hold dear. It can be disheartening to see adult children embrace worldly values or distance themselves from us, fearing judgment for their decisions. In these moments of heartache, we must remember God’s promise: He is faithful, and His love knows no bounds.

When our children choose paths that diverge from the teachings of Christ, it can feel like a personal loss. However, we must remind ourselves that God loves them even more than we do. Our role as parents is to love unconditionally and to pray fervently for their return to faith. Just as the Prodigal Son found his way back home, we can trust that our children will also seek the Lord when they are ready.

Every prayer is a seed planted in faith. Trust that God is working in the hearts of your children, even when you cannot see it.

Consider writing a letter to your child expressing your love, your hopes, and your prayers for them. Avoid any mention of judgment; instead, focus on your unconditional love and support. This can be a tangible reminder of your heart for them, one that they can revisit when they are ready.

“Though the path may seem distant, my love and prayers for you my child will always bridge the gap. In faith, I trust that God will guide you home.” (Love, Dad)

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, Today, I come before You with a heavy heart for my children. I feel the distance that has grown between us, and I worry for their souls. I ask for Your divine intervention in their lives. Please soften their hearts and open their eyes to Your truth. Help me to be a light in their darkness, a source of love and hope, rather than judgment.

Grant me patience as I wait for them to come back to You. May I always exhibit Your love in my words and actions, showing them that the door is open for them to return home, both to me and to You. I pray for their salvation, for the day they recognize their need for You and turn away from the world’s distractions.

In Your grace, remind me that my role is to nurture them in prayer and love, trusting in Your perfect timing. I hold on to the promise that they will not stray forever, for You are faithful to fulfill Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

January 4th 2025 – The Depth of Jesus’ Love

Leave a reply

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)

In a world often marred by division and misunderstanding, the love of Jesus stands as a beacon of hope and unity. Reflecting on His sacrifice, we are reminded of the profound depth of His love for us. Jesus didn’t just preach love; He embodied it through His actions and ultimate sacrifice on the cross.

Consider the moments when Jesus walked among us. He reached out to the marginalized, healed the sick, and offered grace to the sinner. Each act was a testament to His unwavering love. When He dined with sinners, He didn’t just tolerate them; He celebrated them, showing us that love knows no boundaries.

As we reflect on His love, let us remember that it is unconditional. Jesus loves us not for what we can do but simply because we are His creation. This love invites us into a relationship where we can be vulnerable, bring our burdens, and find solace in His embrace.

Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on how Jesus’ love has impacted your life. Think about ways you can share that love with others this week. Whether through acts of kindness, words of affirmation, or simply being present for someone in need, let your heart be moved to action.

“Jesus’ love is not just a feeling; it’s a call to action. As we go forth, let us carry His love in our hearts and share it with the world, knowing that in doing so, we fulfill His commandment to love one another.”

Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for Your incredible love that surpasses all understanding. Help me to comprehend the depth of Your sacrifice and to reflect that love in my daily life. May I be a vessel of Your grace and compassion, reaching out to others as You reached out to me. Teach me to love without conditions, just as You have loved me. In Your heavenly name, Amen.

Put your faith and trust in Jesus! If you do not know Him personally, please read below.

Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13).

December 7th 2024 – Jesus First

Leave a reply

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to let distractions pull us away from what truly matters. The demands of work, family, and social obligations can often take precedence over our relationship with Jesus. However, the call to make Jesus first in our lives is not merely a suggestion; it is a directive that leads to true fulfillment and peace.

Making Jesus first means prioritizing our time with Him above all else. It involves setting aside moments each day for prayer, worship, and reading His Word. When we intentionally create space for Jesus in our lives, we invite His presence into our thoughts and actions, transforming our hearts and guiding our decisions.

Below are some suggestions.

Personal Application:

1. Daily Quiet Time: Set aside a specific time each day for prayer and Bible reading. This can be early in the morning, during lunch, or before bed—whatever works best for you. Use this time to connect with Jesus and reflect on His teachings.

2. Prioritize Worship: Attend church services regularly and engage in worship through music, fellowship, and service. Surrounding yourself with other believers can strengthen your faith and encourage you to keep Jesus at the center.

3. Seek His Guidance: Before making decisions “big or small” take a moment to seek Jesus’ guidance through prayer. Ask for His wisdom and clarity, trusting that He knows what is best for you.

4. Live Out Your Faith: Let your actions reflect your commitment to Jesus. Share His love with others, serve those in need, and be a light in your community. When Jesus is first in your heart, His love naturally overflows into your interactions.

Making Jesus first is a daily commitment that requires intentionality. As you strive to prioritize Him in your life, remember that He is always with you, guiding and supporting you in every step of your journey.

“Embrace the joy and peace that comes from putting Jesus at the center, knowing that everything else will fall into place.“

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to put You first in every area of my life. Teach me to seek Your kingdom above all else and to trust that You will provide for my needs. May my heart be aligned with Yours, and may my actions reflect Your love. Strengthen my faith as I prioritize my relationship with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

November 20th 2024 – Coming Home to You

Leave a reply

Please watch this first

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)

The song “I’m Coming Home to You” beautifully encapsulates the journey each of us takes as we navigate through the complexities of life. In the first verse, we find ourselves wandering in the silence of the night, chasing after fleeting desires and earthly pursuits. This imagery resonates with our human experience—times when we feel lost or distant from God. Yet, the comforting reminder is that His love shines like an unwavering light, guiding us back home.

As we move into the chorus, we declare our intention to return home to God. This act of coming home signifies more than just physical location; it represents a spiritual return to the heart of our Creator. We acknowledge that true peace and release are found only in His embrace. It’s a recognition that, in the warmth of His love, our restless souls can finally find rest.

The second verse reminds us that even in our darkest valleys of doubt and fear, we are never truly alone. God’s gentle whisper calls to us, inviting us to lay down our burdens and seek solace in Him. It’s in these moments of surrender that we discover the depth of His grace, leading us back to our rightful place in His presence.

In the third verse, with the dawn of a new day, we are reminded of God’s unending grace and the fresh start it offers. How beautiful it is to envision Him welcoming us back with open arms, filling the voids that life may have created in our hearts. This image of restoration is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Finally, final verses evokes a sense of commitment and belonging. No longer do we need to run or hide from our struggles; in His love, we find our true identity. His mercy flows abundantly, and in His presence, we discover our true home.

“The journey of life often leads us to feelings of being lost or distant from God, but His unwavering love guides us back home. Return to God for the source of true peace and rest, even in times of doubt and fear. Remember that in God’s embrace, we can find our true identity and restoration.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my safe haven and guiding light. Help me to recognize when I’ve wandered away and give me the courage to return to You. May I find peace in Your arms and grace in Your presence. Let me always remember that I am coming home to You, where my heart finds rest and my soul is renewed. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on your journey to God. Are there areas where you feel distant? Invite Him to draw you closer, knowing that He is always waiting with open arms.

November 13th 2024 – Embracing the Light of Christ

Leave a reply

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'” (John 8:12)

In a world frequently shrouded in uncertainty, turmoil, and shadows, the assurance that Jesus is the Light of the World offers us a profound sense of hope and direction. His radiant light serves as a guiding beacon, helping us navigate the complexities and challenges of life. When we choose to follow Him, we not only accept His guidance but also invite His transformative presence into our hearts, renewing our spirits and illuminating our minds.

Think back to moments in your life when you felt adrift or burdened by the weight of your circumstances. How did seeking solace in Jesus alter your view of those challenges? His divine light does more than merely dispel the darkness; it equips us with the strength to shine brightly for others. As we reflect His love and grace, we become sources of hope and encouragement for our families, friends, and communities.

“His light illuminates our path, guiding us through life’s uncertainties. When we choose to follow Him, we invite His presence into our lives, transforming our hearts and minds.”

Prayer:

Heavenly father, we thank You for being our unwavering light, guiding us through the fog of uncertainty. Help us to walk confidently in Your illumination and to share that light with those around us. May our lives radiate Your love and hope, shining brightly in a world that is often desperate for bFather, Jesus’ name, Amen.

November 12th 2024 – Finding Hope In The Silence

Leave a reply

“God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” (Psalm 69:6)

As parents, the silence from adult children can feel deafening. The absence of calls and the distance in relationships can leave a profound sense of loneliness and despair. It’s easy to feel like you are just occupying space, longing for a connection that seems out of reach. In these moments, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Jesus understands your pain and is present even in the silence.

Jesus offers us comfort in our loneliness. He reminds us that our worth is not defined by the actions of others but by His unconditional love. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This promise is for you. When feelings of abandonment creep in, take those burdens to Him.

When we feel we like we no longer matter to our children. Let us remember that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. Trust that He is weaving a tapestry of healing and restoration in our families. Keep the faith, for Jesus is our hope and our refuge.

“Jesus invites us to find rest in Him, offering comfort amid loneliness. In prayer, we can bring our feelings of abandonment to God, trusting His presence and plan for our families.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart. The silence from my children weighs on me, and I often feel forgotten. Help me to lean on Your presence and to find comfort in Your love. Fill the void in my heart with Your peace and remind me that I am not alone. Teach me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when they make time to call back or visit. In Jesus’ name Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life.

Leave a reply

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37)

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Yet, when we pause and reflect on our relationship with God, we are reminded of the depth of His love for us and the call to respond in kind. “I love you, Lord. My heart is Yours.” These words are not just a declaration; they are a commitment to put God first in everything we do.

Loving the Lord with all our heart means surrendering our desires, fears, and hopes to Him. It invites us to trust in His plans, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. When we say, “My heart is Yours,” we are acknowledging that our lives are intertwined with His purpose. We are allowing His love to shape our actions and decisions, guiding us to reflect His light in the world.

“By proclaiming, “My heart is Yours,” we acknowledge that our lives are intricately woven into His greater purpose.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You today, grateful for Your unfailing love and grace. I declare that my heart is Yours. Help me to love You with all my heart, soul, and mind. Teach me to trust in Your plans and to seek Your presence in every moment. May my life be a testament to Your goodness, and may I share Your love with those around me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

October 28th 2024 – Finding Hope in the Midst of Darkness

Leave a reply

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

Experiencing depression can often feel like being engulfed in a dense fog that obscures the light of hope and joy. It is an arduous battle that many individuals endure, frequently in silence, grappling with profound feelings of sadness and isolation. Yet, amidst this turmoil, it’s crucial to remember that we are never truly alone in our struggles. The Scriptures offer us a powerful reminder that God draws near to those who are brokenhearted.

During our most challenging times, it may seem difficult to sense God’s presence. We might find ourselves questioning the reasons behind our suffering, feeling abandoned or overlooked. However, the comforting reality is that even in our darkest hours, God is intimately aware of our pain. He stands beside us, ready to offer solace and understanding, especially when we feel the weight of the world pressing down on our spirits.

As we journey through the valleys of depression, let us hold fast to the profound truth that God perceives our suffering, hears our cries for help, and is unwaveringly committed to walking alongside us. By leaning into His grace and love, we can begin to uncover glimmers of hope, even in the most profound darkness. Let us encourage one another and seek the light that God promises, trusting that brighter days are ahead.

“Hold onto the truth that God sees our pain, hears our cries, and is committed to walking alongside us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You today, feeling overwhelmed by the heaviness of depression that weighs on my heart and mind. I earnestly seek Your comfort and presence to envelop me in my times of distress. Help me to keep in mind that, even when shadows loom large, You are always with me. Surround me with Your abiding love and support, and guide me in recognizing the importance of reaching out for help when I need it. Instill in me the ability to find hope in Your promises and to depend on Your strength as I navigate these difficult waters. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

October 24th 2024 – Anchored in Hope

Leave a reply

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” (Hebrews 6:19)

In the tumultuous seas of life, where waves of uncertainty and storms of despair threaten to overwhelm us, our faith serves as a steadfast anchor. The writer of Hebrews reminds us that hope is not just a fleeting feeling; it is the very anchor of our soul. This hope is rooted in the promises of God, who is unchanging and faithful.

As we navigate through challenges, we often find ourselves searching for stability. In moments of doubt, it’s easy to feel adrift, but God invites us to cast our burdens upon Him. He assures us that no matter the storm, His love and grace are sufficient to keep us secure.

Reflect on the times when God has been your anchor. Perhaps it was during a time of loss, a difficult decision, or a season of waiting. In those moments, His presence provided peace that surpassed understanding.

“May we be reminded daily that with God as our anchor, we can face any storm with hope, courage, and faith.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my anchor in the storms of life. Help me to trust in Your promises and to hold onto the hope that is found in You alone. May I always remember that no matter how fierce the winds may blow, I am safe in Your arms. Strengthen my faith, and let my hope shine brightly for others to see. In your glorious name, Amen.
