October 18th 2025 – YOUnique Gifts & Talents

Scripture Reading:

“For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?” (1 Corinthians 4:7)

Reflection:

God has uniquely crafted you with special gifts because He has significant plans for your life. Embrace the calling He has placed upon you with gratitude and joy, but be mindful of where your gaze wanders. It’s all too easy to become envious of the gifts that others possess, leading us to overlook the incredible blessings God has given us. When we allow envy to take root, we risk telling God that His choices for us are flawed. Reflect on this profound question: where does pride misplace your reliance? Pride can be a deceptive force, leading us away from the truth and causing harm, even with the best of intentions.

“Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.” (Romans 12:3)

Application:

So, how do you begin to explore the gifts God has bestowed upon you? You won’t find clarity while remaining stagnant. Turn to prayer and earnestly seek God’s guidance on how you can serve Him. As you step out in faith, you will uncover the unique abilities He has placed within you. Engaging in service will help you discover and cultivate skills you never knew you had. Just like talented musicians who dedicate countless hours to perfecting their craft, the more you exercise your gifts, the more you will grow and flourish in them. Are you using your gifts faithfully and wholeheartedly?

“We have all received gifts from God. It is our responsibility to nurture these gifts for His glory and to bless others.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for loving me unconditionally and for the unique gifts and talents You have woven into my being. I am in awe of Your wisdom in choosing to bless me with these abilities, and I recognize that they are not just for my benefit but for the purpose of serving others and glorifying You.

Lord, I confess that I have often taken my gifts for granted and allowed envy to cloud my vision. I’ve been distracted by what others have, forgetting to appreciate the beauty of what You’ve given me. Forgive me for my ungratefulness and for moments when I’ve doubted Your perfect plan for my life. Help me to see my gifts through Your eyes and to embrace the calling You have placed on my heart.

Guide me, Lord, as I seek to use my gifts to uplift others and to bring glory to Your name. Show me the ways I can serve You and those around me with the talents I have. Help me to be diligent in nurturing these gifts, to recognize opportunities to share them, and to do so with a spirit of humility and love.

I surrender my life to You, asking for Your strength and wisdom as I embark on this journey of discovery and service. May my actions reflect Your grace, and may I always remember that every good gift comes from You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Invitation:

If you haven’t yet invited Jesus into your heart, this moment can change everything. It’s never too late to seek His love, grace, and forgiveness. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms, ready to guide you on a beautiful journey of hope and purpose.

September 13th 2025 – Predestined for Purpose

“For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.” (Ephesians 1:4-5)

In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, the concept of predestination offers profound comfort. Ephesians reminds us that before time began, God had a specific purpose for each of us. This is not simply a theological doctrine; it is a beautiful truth that speaks to our identity and belonging.

Imagine the depth of love that God has for us—He chose us! Each of us is a unique creation, intricately designed with gifts, talents, and destinies that reflect His glory. The idea of being “predestined for adoption” means that we are not just created beings; we are called into a family, into an intimate relationship with our Creator.

Our lives are not random; they are woven into a divine tapestry. Every struggle, joy, and moment of doubt is part of a larger plan. God sees the entirety of our lives and lovingly guides us toward His purpose. This is a source of hope, especially when we face challenges or feel lost.

Take a moment to reflect on what it means to be chosen by God. Consider the gifts and passions He has placed within you. How can you align these with His purpose for your life today? Allow this truth to inspire you as you move through your day. Remember, you are not just existing; you are living with purpose, predestined and loved by God.

“Embrace each day as a canvas, painting your dreams with the colors of hope and the strokes of perseverance.”

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful truth that I am predestined for a purpose in You. Help me to embrace my identity as Your child and to trust in Your plan for my life. May I find peace in knowing that You have chosen me, and may I live out my days reflecting Your love and grace to those around me. Guide me in understanding my gifts and using them for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, In Jesus’ name, Amen.

August 24th 2025 – Jesus Paid the Ultimate Price

“And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:17-19)

In today’s world, we often gauge the value of something by the price someone is willing to pay. This concept is particularly evident in the world of antiques and collectibles. An old, faded painting may appear to be worthless, yet if it depicts a cherished memory or a beloved family member, it transforms into a priceless treasure in the eyes of its owner. Similarly, when we reflect on our lives, we may see our shortcomings, our struggles, and our sins, leading us to undervalue ourselves. However, the God of all creation sees us through a different lens—one of unconditional love and boundless worth.

He loves us so profoundly that He was willing to pay an unimaginable price, not with silver or gold, but with the life of His perfect Son, Jesus Christ. This sacrifice is the most profound exchange imaginable. Understanding this truth fills our hearts with joy and gratitude, reminding us that we are highly valued in the eyes of God. He paid the ultimate price for our redemption so that we could experience true freedom and the promise of eternal life with Him.

As we ponder this incredible gift, we must ask ourselves: in light of such a high cost paid for our salvation, are we ready to dedicate our lives to Him? Are we willing to surrender our desires, ambitions, and even our very selves in service to the One who loves us unconditionally?

“We have been redeemed at the highest price, so let’s live for our Redeemer!”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, With a heart full of gratitude, I come before You today, reflecting on the extraordinary price You paid for my redemption. Thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus, whose sacrifice speaks of Your immense love and grace. I am humbled by Your willingness to give everything for me, and I recognize the value You place on my life.

Lord, empower me to live a life that reflects my gratitude and dedication to You. Help me to lay down my own desires and to seek Your will above all else. May my actions, words, and thoughts glorify You in every way. I long to walk closely with You, to share Your love with others, and to shine Your light in a world that so desperately needs it.

In moments of doubt or struggle, remind me of the depth of Your love and the price that was paid for my freedom. Let that knowledge inspire me to live boldly and faithfully as Your servant. I love You, Lord, and I desire to honor You with everything I am. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray, Amen.

August 11th 2023 – Sharing and Giving Selflessly

In our journey as followers of Christ, it is essential to recognize the incredible gift we have received through His love and grace. As Christians, we have been blessed with forgiveness, salvation, and a personal relationship with our Savior. This life-changing experience is something that should never be taken for granted.

However, it is equally important to understand that our blessings are not meant to be hoarded or kept to ourselves. Instead, we are called to pay it forward and bless others with the love and kindness that we have received. This act of selfless giving not only impacts the lives of those in need but also serves as a reflection of our gratitude towards God.

In 2 Corinthians 9:7, we are reminded that “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” This verse emphasizes the importance of giving with a joyful and willing heart, rather than out of obligation or duty. When we give selflessly, we emulate the character of Christ and becwwwome vessels of His love in the world.

John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”

In these words, Jesus not only emphasizes the importance of love but also sets a high standard for how we are to love others. He instructs us to love as He has loved us, which is a selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love.

Moreover, Matthew 25:40 teaches us the significance of recognizing the presence of Christ in those who are marginalized or in need. Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” This powerful statement reminds us that our acts of compassion towards others are, in fact, acts of service to God Himself. When we extend a helping hand, lend a listening ear, or offer our resources to those in need, we are demonstrating our love for Christ and fulfilling His call to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Therefore, let us embrace the opportunity to share and give selflessly. Let us seek out ways to bless others, not only in material ways but also through our time, talents, and genuine care. Whether it is supporting a local charity, volunteering at a homeless shelter, or simply showing kindness to a stranger, every effort counts.

In doing so, we not only make a difference in the lives of those we touch but also experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from living out our faith. Let us remember that our purpose as Christians is not only to receive but also to give and share the love of Christ with others. May we be known as a people who recognize the presence of Christ in those who are marginalized or in need, and who respond with compassion, generosity, and a heart that seeks to bless others.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank you for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon us. As we come before you today, we humbly ask for your guidance and strength to embody the spirit of selfless sharing and giving.

Lord, you have shown us the ultimate example of selflessness through the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ. He gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins, displaying a love beyond measure. Teach us to emulate His selflessness in our own lives.

Help us to put the needs of others before our own, to be willing to share what we have, and to give without expecting anything in return. Open our eyes to the opportunities around us, that we may recognize the needs of those who are less fortunate and extend a helping hand.

Lord, we pray for a heart that is generous and compassionate, that we may always be willing to give of our time, resources, and talents. May we never hold back in sharing the blessings you have entrusted to us, knowing that everything we have comes from your loving hand.

Grant us wisdom in discerning where our giving can make the greatest impact, that we may be good stewards of the gifts you have given us. Help us to seek out those who are overlooked or forgotten, and to extend a loving hand to them.

Father, we ask that you transform our hearts to be filled with joy and gratitude in our acts of selfless giving. May we find fulfillment and purpose in sharing with others, knowing that we are fulfilling your commandments and spreading your love.

In all that we do, may our actions reflect your love and grace. May we be a living testimony of your selfless love, so that others may be drawn closer to you.

We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen!

July 21st 2023 – Choosing God Over the World

In our journey of faith, we are constantly faced with choices that can either draw us closer to God or lead us away from Him. The apostle John, in his first letter, reminds us of the importance of choosing God over the world. In 1st John 2:15-17, he highlights three specific areas where we often find ourselves tempted: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

1 John 2:15-17 – “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”

The “lust of the flesh” refers to our desires for physical pleasure and satisfaction that can easily lead us astray. It encompasses anything that appeals to our sinful nature, such as indulging in unhealthy habits, seeking instant gratification, or pursuing selfish desires without considering the consequences. When we prioritize these worldly cravings, we distance ourselves from the love of the Father.

Similarly, the “lust of the eyes” speaks to our longing for material possessions, wealth, and worldly success. Our society bombards us with messages that equate happiness with accumulation and consumption. However, John reminds us that these desires are fleeting and ultimately unfulfilling. True contentment and eternal satisfaction can only be found in our relationship with God.

Lastly, John warns against the “pride of life,” which encompasses the pursuit of personal status, recognition, and power. It is the tendency to exalt ourselves above others and place our own will and desires above God’s. This prideful attitude can lead us down a path of self-centeredness and arrogance, hindering our ability to fully surrender to God’s plan for our lives.

As believers, we are called to be set apart from the world and to live in accordance with God’s will. We should not conform to the patterns and values of this world but rather seek to align ourselves with the teachings of Jesus Christ. By choosing God over the world, we can experience the abundant life that He promises us.

Let us remember that the world and its desires are temporary, passing away like the fading flowers. But whoever does the will of God lives forever. Our Heavenly Father’s love is eternal, unwavering, and surpasses any pleasure, possession, or power this world can offer. When we fix our eyes on Him, we find true joy, purpose, and fulfillment.

So today, let us take a moment to reflect on our own lives and identify areas where we may have been drawn towards the world rather than towards God. Let us ask for His forgiveness and seek His guidance to help us make choices that honor Him. May we be empowered by the Holy Spirit to resist worldly temptations and choose the path that leads us closer to our loving Creator.

Remember, you are never alone in your journey of faith. Lean on God’s wisdom and seek guidance from fellow believers as you navigate the choices before you. May your heart be filled with God’s love and your steps be guided by His truth. God bless you abundantly!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Word that guides and instructs us. Help us, dear Lord, to discern the ways of the world and to choose You above all else. Forgive us for the times we have allowed worldly desires to take precedence over our love for You. Fill our hearts with a deep longing for You and grant us the strength to walk in obedience to Your will. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Have you ever eacknowledged Jesus as you Lord and Savior?

If you do not know Him personally. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. We truly are living in the end days, a d the only road to Heavwn is through Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. Jesus loves us and wants to help us through the storms.

July 20th 2023 – Setting Aside Childish Ways

As Christians, we are called to grow in faith and maturity, leaving behind the things of our past that hinder our spiritual progress. Just as a child must put away childish behaviors and thoughts to become a mature adult, so too must we set aside the childish things of our spiritual journey.

1 Corinthians 13:11 – “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.”

Childishness can manifest in various ways in our lives. It can include immaturity, selfishness, and a lack of understanding or discernment. These things hinder our growth in Christ and prevent us from experiencing the fullness of His blessings and purpose for our lives.

When we talk like a child, we may use our words to tear down others, gossip, or speak unkindly. However, as we grow in Christ, our speech should be filled with grace, encouragement, and truth. We should strive to build others up, speaking life into their situations, and glorifying God with our words.

When we think like a child, we may focus on our own desires and seek instant gratification. But as mature believers, we should seek God’s wisdom and align our thoughts with His truth. We should prioritize His will and consider the needs of others, putting aside selfish ambitions for the sake of serving and loving others.

When we reason like a child, we may lack discernment and make decisions based on our emotions or worldly perspectives. However, as we mature in our faith, we should seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and allow God’s Word to shape our thinking. We should strive for wisdom and discernment, making choices that align with God’s truth and bring glory to Him.

Setting aside childish things requires intentional effort and a humble heart. It means surrendering our own desires and seeking God’s will in every aspect of our lives. It means growing in our understanding of God’s Word and allowing it to transform our thoughts, words, and actions.

Let us commit ourselves to the process of maturity in Christ, seeking His guidance and relying on His strength. As we set aside childish behaviors and thoughts, we will experience the freedom and joy that come from walking in alignment with God’s purposes for our lives.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I humbly come before you today, asking for your guidance and strength as I seek to grow in spiritual maturity. Lord, I recognize that there are areas in my life where I still cling to childish behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes. I ask for your forgiveness for any immaturity, selfishness, or lack of discernment that has hindered my growth in you.

Father, I surrender these childish things to you and ask that you replace them with your wisdom, grace, and understanding. Help me to speak words that build others up, encourage, and reflect your love. Remove any harshness, gossip, or negativity from my speech, and fill my mouth with words that bring life and honor to you.

Lord, I also ask for a transformation in my thought life. Give me the ability to think like you, to align my thoughts with your truth, and to focus on your will and purposes. Help me to put aside selfish ambitions and instead prioritize serving and loving others. Grant me discernment and clarity of mind, that I may make choices that reflect your wisdom and bring glory to your name.

Father, I know that this process of maturity requires your grace, patience, and guidance. I pray that you would continue to mold me into the image of your Son, Jesus Christ. Teach me to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance, allowing Him to lead me in all areas of my life.

Thank you, Lord, for your unconditional love and for never giving up on me. I trust in your faithfulness and power to transform me into a mature believer. May my life be a reflection of your grace and may others be drawn closer to you through my growth and maturity. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Have you ever eacknowledged Jesus as you Lord and Savior?

July 15th 2023 – God’s Perfect Plan

Have you ever experienced moments in life that felt so perfectly orchestrated, so divinely timed, that you couldn’t help but recognize it as a divine appointment? These encounters are not mere coincidences but rather glimpses of God’s guiding hand in our lives. Today, let us reflect on the beauty and significance of these divine appointments.

Proverbs 16:9 – “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

In our journey of faith, it’s easy to become consumed with our own plans and ambitions. We meticulously map out our lives, striving for control and certainty. However, God’s ways are higher than ours, and He often has a greater purpose in mind. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that while we may plan our course, it is the Lord who establishes our steps.

Divine appointments are those extraordinary moments when God graciously interrupts our plans, leading us to encounters that transform our lives and the lives of others. They may manifest as unexpected conversations, chance meetings, or divine interventions in seemingly insignificant circumstances. These appointments are not random; they are carefully orchestrated by our loving Heavenly Father who knows the desires of our hearts and the paths we need to walk.

When we encounter a divine appointment, it is vital to have eyes of faith that recognize God’s hand at work. These moments carry profound meaning and provide us with an opportunity to grow in our relationship with Him. They remind us that God is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives, guiding us towards His perfect plan.

Moreover, divine appointments also call us to be vessels of God’s love and grace. As we remain open and sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can become instruments of blessing in the lives of others. Just as Philip was obedient to the divine appointment with the Ethiopian eunuch, we too can be used by God to share His truth, offer comfort, and extend a helping hand.

Let us approach each day with a sense of expectancy, knowing that God may have a divine appointment in store for us. As we surrender our plans and trust in His providence, we allow Him to lead us on extraordinary paths that align with His purpose.

May we be diligent in recognizing and embracing these divine appointments, for they are precious gifts from our Heavenly Father. Let us commit ourselves to prayer, asking God to grant us discernment and wisdom to recognize and respond to His divine interventions.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and awe for the divine appointments You have orchestrated in our lives. We acknowledge that Your ways are higher than ours, and You have a perfect plan for each of us. Thank You for the times when You have interrupted our plans and led us to encounters that have changed our lives.

Lord, we pray for open hearts and minds to recognize these divine appointments when they come. Help us to discern Your leading and guidance in every situation. Give us the wisdom to understand that these appointments are not mere coincidences but divine interventions orchestrated by Your loving hand.

Lord, we surrender our plans and ambitions to You. We confess that we often fall into the trap of seeking control and certainty. Help us to trust Your providence and have faith that You are working all things together for our good.

As You lead us into divine appointments, Lord, equip us to be vessels of Your love and grace. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may speak words of encouragement and truth to those we encounter. Give us the discernment to listen attentively and respond with compassion and empathy.

May our lives reflect Your love and light in the midst of these divine encounters. Help us to be sensitive to the needs of others, offering a helping hand and a listening ear. Use us, Father, to be instruments of Your peace, comfort, and hope.

Lord, we humbly ask that You continue to guide our steps and establish our paths. We trust in Your divine timing and Your perfect plan for our lives. As we walk in faith, grant us the courage to embrace the unexpected appointments You have in store for us. We pray all this in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

July 11th 2023 – Trusting God When Feeling Let Down

Life has a way of bringing disappointments and letdowns that can leave us feeling downcast and discouraged. We may have experienced unmet expectations, broken promises, or dreams that seemed to crumble before our eyes. In these moments, it’s easy to question God’s plan and wonder why things didn’t turn out as we hoped. However, it is precisely in these times of disappointment that our faith can grow deeper, and our trust in God can be strengthened.

Psalm 42:11 – “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”

The psalmist in Psalm 42 cries out, “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?” These questions resonate with our own struggles when we feel let down. But the psalmist doesn’t stop there; they offer a powerful solution: “Put your hope in God.” 

When we feel let down, it’s crucial to redirect our focus and place our trust in God. We can find comfort and solace in knowing that God is always with us, even in our disappointments. He sees our pain and understands our heartache. He longs to bring healing and restoration to our weary souls.

Remember, Jesus Himself experienced deep disappointment. He was let down by His closest friends who deserted Him in His hour of need. Yet, even in His darkest moments, He put His trust in God. He surrendered to the Father’s will, knowing that His plan was greater than any disappointment or betrayal He faced.

In seasons of letdown, let us follow Jesus’ example by praising God in the midst of our pain. Let us acknowledge that He is our Savior and our God, who never leaves us nor forsakes us. As we cultivate an attitude of praise, our perspective shifts, and we begin to see God’s faithfulness and goodness even in the midst of disappointment.

While disappointment may linger, we can find hope in knowing that God’s plans are higher than our own. He can take our shattered dreams and transform them into something beautiful. His timing is perfect, and He works all things together for our good.

So, in times of letdown, let us choose to trust God. Let us put our hope in Him, knowing that He is faithful and will guide us through every disappointment. May we find strength in our relationship with Him, knowing that He has a purpose and a plan for our lives, even when things don’t turn out as we expected.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You today with a heavy heart, feeling let down and disappointed. Help me to trust in Your plan and to put my hope in You. Remind me of Your faithfulness and goodness, even in the midst of my disappointments. Give me the strength to praise You in all circumstances and to surrender my disappointments into Your capable hands. Guide me and lead me according to Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Take a moment to reflect on God’s faithfulness and His promise to work all things together for your good. Trust that He is with you in every disappointment and that He will bring beauty out of ashes. Keep your hope in Him, for He is your Savior and your God.

July 10th 2023 – Moments of Loneliness

In moments of loneliness, it’s essential to remind ourselves of God’s promises. The Bible assures us that God is our constant companion, even in our most isolated times.

Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Reflect on the fact that Jesus Himself experienced loneliness during His time on Earth. In Matthew 27:46, He cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In this moment, Jesus truly understood what it meant to feel deserted and alone. Through His suffering, He can empathize with our own feelings of loneliness.

During these moments, turn to prayer as a means of finding solace. Pour out your heart to God, sharing your emotions, worries, and fears. Remember that He is a loving Father who longs to hear from His children. In Psalm 34:18, it is written, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Take comfort in knowing that God is near to you, even in your loneliness.

Hebrews 10:25 “… not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, as you see the Day approaching”

Additionally, seek fellowship within your Christian community. Connecting with fellow believers can provide much-needed support and a sense of belonging. Hebrews 10:25 encourages us to “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.” Consider joining a church small group, attending Bible studies, or participating in some type of community service to help combat feelings of loneliness.

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Lastly, remember that God has a purpose for your life, even amidst loneliness. Trust that God is working in and through your circumstances, using them to shape you into the person He created you to be.

Remember that while loneliness can be overwhelming, you are never truly alone. Seek solace in God’s promises, pour out your heart to Him in prayer, trust in His plan for your life. May you find comfort and hope as you rely on God’s unfailing love during seasons of loneliness.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

In the midst of my loneliness, I turn to You, knowing that You are always near. Fill the emptiness within my heart with Your comforting presence. Help me to remember that I am never truly alone, for You are with me every step of the way.

Grant me the strength to seek companionship and support from others, to build meaningful connections with fellow believers who can uplift and encourage me. Open my eyes to the opportunities around me, where I can extend love and kindness to those who may also be feeling lonely.

Teach me to find solace in Your Word, knowing that it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Guide me to scriptures that remind me of Your promises and Your unfailing love for me.

In this moment of loneliness, I choose to trust in Your plan for my life. Help me to remember that You are working all things together for my good. May I find peace in Your presence and joy in the knowledge of Your everlasting love.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.
