October 30th 2025 – Keep Your Eyes Focused

“Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.” (Romans 8:23)

In the journey of our faith, a vital question arises: What do you bring to the table? Ultimately, there are two choices — either you’re bringing a piece of Heaven to earth, or you’re not. It’s all too easy to become entangled in the trials of today, forgetting that our Lord reigns in triumph. When your gaze is fixed on worldly troubles, you’ll find yourself ensnared in adversity. Shift your focus to Jesus, and the struggles of this earth will begin to fade.

Have you encountered someone who’s consumed by their troubles? They often carry a weight of defeat, a mark that should not define a believer. As Christians, we are anything but defeated. Now, picture a non-believer witnessing a Christian overwhelmed by the chaos of this world. Would they see hope? Would they feel drawn to follow Christ?

“For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” (Romans 8:24-25)

So, what do you offer to those around you? Is it a glimpse of Heaven or a reflection of despair? Your faith serves as evidence of what you believe. If others see you embodying the essence of your faith, they will recognize that your God surpasses the troubles of this world.

If you find yourself waiting at the wrong station, hoping for a free ride on a fleeting promise, remember that such paths lead only to disappointment.

Christians, if your sense of hope is rooted in what others possess rather than in Jesus, it may be time for a faith reassessment, for others are watching.

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Colossians 3:2)

“Don’t dwell on today’s groaning; instead, look forward to tomorrow’s glory.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope You have graciously given me through Your Son, Jesus. In moments of doubt, help me to see beyond what is visible. As I eagerly await Your return, grant me strength to persevere in the calling You have placed on my life. I trust that all things work together for good for those who love You. Today, I commit my life to Your purposes. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 29th 2025 – Faith Through Heartache

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

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

Reflection:

Disappointments and heartaches are part of the human experience. Whether it’s a failed relationship, unmet expectations, or loss, these moments can leave us feeling shattered and alone. However, in these times of despair, we are reminded that God is near to us. He understands our pain and invites us to bring our burdens to Him.

Consider the story of Job, who faced unimaginable loss and suffering yet remained faithful. His pain was profound, but his trust in God’s goodness sustained him. Job’s journey teaches us that it’s okay to express our anguish and confusion to God. He is not afraid of our questions or our grief; instead, He welcomes them as part of our relationship with Him.

Practical Steps for Coping with Heartache:

Acknowledge Your Feelings: Allow yourself to feel the pain. It’s important to process your emotions rather than suppress them.
Seek Community: Reach out to friends, family, or a church group. Sharing your burdens with others can provide comfort and support.
Engage in Prayer and Worship: Spend time in prayer, expressing your feelings to God. Worship can uplift your spirit and refocus your mind on His goodness.
Reflect on Scripture: Write down verses that encourage you during tough times. Meditate on these truths daily.
Look for Growth Opportunities: Ask God what He might be teaching you through your heartache. Often, our struggles can lead to personal growth and deeper faith.

Closing Thought:
Remember, heartache is not the end of the story. With God, there is always hope for healing and restoration. Trust in His plan, even when it’s hard to see the way forward. He is faithful, and His love for you is unwavering.

“Heartache may bend us, but faith will help us rise stronger, reminding us that every disappointment is a step toward deeper grace.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being close to us when we are hurting. Help us to remember that our disappointments do not define us, but how we respond to them can deepen our faith. Give us strength to face our heartaches and wisdom to find hope in Your promises. Help us to lean on You, trusting that You are working all things together for our good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 25th 2025 – Is God Listening?

1 Reply

Scripture Reading:

“O LORD, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, ‘Violence!’ And You will not save?” (Habakkuk 1:2)

Reflection:

In our journey of faith, there are seasons where we may feel as though our cries are falling on deaf ears. Whether we are grappling with personal trials, societal unrest, or the weight of loneliness, it’s not uncommon to question God’s presence and His responsiveness to our prayers. The prophet Habakkuk found himself in such a place. Witnessing the moral decay of Judah, he poured out his heart to God, feeling abandoned and unheard. Have you ever felt that way?

In these challenging moments, it’s essential to remember the profound truth of our faith: as children of God, we have direct access to Him, regardless of our circumstances. Even in our darkest hours or when hope seems all but lost, God remains steadfast by our side, ready to listen and respond.

Ephesians 3:11-13 reminds us, “according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.”

Notice the powerful words “boldness, access, and confidence.” Through Jesus, we can approach God with the assurance that He hears us and deeply cares for us. So, when you find yourself feeling as if your prayers are going unanswered, hold tight to this promise. Pray with confidence, trusting that God is listening and loves you more than you can comprehend.

In response to Habakkuk’s cries, God assured him: “Look at the nations and watch – and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” (Habakkuk 1:5-7) This is a reminder that God is always at work, often beyond our understanding or expectations.

“Even in the silence of our cries, God is at work, transforming our struggles into testimonies of His unwavering faithfulness. Trust in His presence, for every prayer is heard and every heartache holds the promise of His purpose.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for Your unwavering presence in my life. Thank You for listening to my prayers, even when I struggle to see or feel Your response. I ask for Your grace and mercy to fill my life anew today. Help me to find encouragement in Your word and to remember that I am never alone in my trials.

Lord, when I feel overwhelmed, remind me of the boldness, access, and confidence I have in You through Christ. Forgive me for the times I have doubted my worth and questioned my ability to serve in Your ministry. Help me to recognize that I am significant to You and that my contributions matter in Your grand design.

Heal my loneliness, Lord, and guide me away from isolation. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, empower me to step into the ministry You have prepared for me, and help me embrace the opportunities to share Your love with others. I trust in Your plan for my life and look forward to the amazing things You will do in and through me. In Jesus’ name, 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. Take a step toward a new beginning today.

October 24th 2025 – Open Our Spiritual Eyes

1 Reply

Scripture Reading:

“When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch the man and heal him. Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man’s eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, “Can you see anything now?” The man looked around. “Yes,” he said, “I see people, but I can’t see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around.” (Mark 8:22-25)

Reflection:

In Mark 8:22-25, we encounter a powerful moment where Jesus heals a blind man in two distinct stages. Initially, the man sees people but describes them as “trees walking.” It’s a profound reminder that even in our journey of faith, clarity can sometimes come gradually. This passage highlights an essential truth: understanding often requires more than a single touch from Jesus; it necessitates an ongoing relationship with Him.

The context surrounding this miracle is equally significant. Just before this healing, Jesus had performed another miracle by feeding 4,000 people with just seven loaves of bread. Yet, despite witnessing such a miraculous act, the Pharisees demanded a sign, revealing their spiritual blindness. Similarly, the disciples, after experiencing Jesus’ miraculous provision, failed to grasp His teachings when He warned them about the “leaven of the Pharisees.” They were focused on physical bread rather than the spiritual lessons He was imparting.

This narrative serves as a mirror for our own spiritual journeys. How often do we find ourselves blinded by our expectations, pride, or preconceived notions? Jesus’ interaction with the blind man illustrates that before our physical sight can be fully restored, our spiritual eyes must first be opened.

As we reflect on our lives today, let us recognize our need for spiritual insight. Just as the blind man needed Jesus’ touch, we too require His guidance to see the deeper truths in His Word. The Bible teaches us that a veil covers our eyes until we believe (2 Corinthians 3:14). Even after belief, we must approach God with humility, asking Him to reveal His wisdom to us.

Contemplation:

If you find yourself struggling to understand Scripture or seeking direction in your life, remember the importance of asking God for clarity. Approach Him with a heart open to revelation, and He will illuminate your path.

As we move forward, let us commit to seeking God’s wisdom daily. May we embrace the journey of spiritual growth, trusting that with each step, we are becoming more like Him.

“Just as the blind man’s sight was restored in stages, so too does our understanding deepen as we seek God’s light; it is in the pursuit of His truth that our spiritual eyes are opened.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with hearts yearning for understanding. We acknowledge that without Your guidance, we are spiritually blind. Open our eyes, Lord, to see the truths in Your Word that have remained hidden. Help us to approach the Scriptures with humility, recognizing that we do not have all the answers. May Your words jump off the pages of our Bibles and resonate within our hearts. Guide us in our jobs, careers, families, marriages, and every aspect of our lives. Let us not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from You. We love You and praise You for Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.

Invitation:

If you feel a stirring in your heart and are ready to experience the transformative love of Jesus, we invite you to take a step of faith. Accepting Jesus into your life is the most profound decision you can make. He longs to have a personal relationship with you, offering forgiveness, hope, and purpose.Are you ready to invite Him in?

October 20th 2025 – The Master’s Hands

1 Reply

Scripture Reading:

“Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” (Isaiah 29:16)

Reflection:

Imagine…the God of the universe, who breathed life into the stars and painted the skies with wonder, is the very same One who intricately crafted you into being. Every detail—your eyes, your smile, your hands—was lovingly designed by the Creator who cradles the oceans in His palms. It’s a humbling thought, isn’t it? In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, what comfort it brings to know that the One who knows every hair on your head created you with purpose and intention—and still longs to shape you into His reflection.

This journey of transformation is often challenging and, at times, painful. There are moments of molding, cutting, and reshaping that can feel overwhelming. Yet, within our Master’s skilled hands, we are being refined into a masterpiece. When we surrender our lives to Him, He can take the hardened clay of our hearts and breathe new life into it, saturating it with His Word and Spirit. He gently chisels away the burdens and excesses that weigh us down, working tirelessly to form us into the image of His Son.

In times of hardship, trials, or life-altering challenges, it’s easy to feel lost and alone. We may find ourselves questioning the “why” behind our struggles, grappling with pain that seems unjust. Some challenges stem from our choices, while others come from circumstances beyond our control. But take comfort in this: whatever situation we face, God is using it to mold us. Even when the process is difficult and the path unclear, we can trust in His hands because He loves us deeply and knows what is best for us.

I have walked through valleys of extraordinary hardship, trials, and loss; each experience has left its mark on my heart. Yet, as painful as those moments were, I wouldn’t trade them for anything. They have shaped me into who I am today—a work in progress, but one that is held securely in the hands of the Master. I am reminded that His name is written on my heart, and I belong to Him.

“Just as a skilled potter shapes clay with intention and care, God lovingly molds our lives through every trial and triumph, transforming our brokenness into a masterpiece that reflects His grace and love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the forgiveness of sins through Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for the gift of salvation and the transformation You bring into our lives. Lord, I come before You as a broken vessel, asking that You take this clay and make it new. Mold my life into a reflection of Your love and grace. Help me to see my struggles as Your hands shaping me into the likeness of Christ. May I embrace the challenges that come my way, recognizing them as opportunities for growth and deeper reliance on You. Fill me with Your strength in moments of weakness, and grant me the courage to trust in Your perfect plan, even when I don’t understand. Use my life for Your glory and purpose, so that I may be a light in this world, reflecting Your love to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 18th 2025 – YOUnique Gifts & Talents

Leave a reply

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.

October 16th 2025 – Unshakeable Faithfulness

1 Reply

Scripture Reading:

“Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began” (Romans 16:25).

Our God is a keeper of promises. While He may hold some mysteries close to His heart, His faithfulness is unwavering. He establishes us as His beloved children, generously pouring out His love through Jesus Christ. We are held securely in His hand, a place from which no force can snatch us away.

As stated in John 10:27-30: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”

Where we may falter in keeping our promises to God, our Father remains steadfast in His promises to us. He establishes us and holds on tight. Reflect for a moment: What commitments have you made to God that you might have overlooked? Despite our shortcomings, God’s faithfulness never wavers. Don’t you think it’s time to renew your commitment to Him? Our actions reveal the commitments we uphold. How would your family describe your dedication to serving God? And what about a stranger?

“Amidst life’s uncertainties, I find my anchor in God’s unwavering faithfulness; His love establishes me and empowers me to live out my commitments, reflecting His grace to the world.”

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a grateful heart, acknowledging Your unfailing love and the immense grace You extend to me each day. Thank You for the gift of forgiveness, for washing away my sins and giving me a fresh start. I am truly humbled by Your faithfulness, even when I fall short.

Lord, I seek Your mercy anew. Fill me with Your Spirit and guide me as I navigate the challenges of life. Help me to be more attentive to Your voice, to recognize the commitments I’ve made to You, and to act on them with sincerity and dedication.

I desire to be a vessel for Your love, sharing the simple yet profound truth of Your Word with everyone I encounter. Strengthen my resolve to serve You wholeheartedly, so that my life may reflect Your light and grace.

May my actions inspire those around me to seek You, and may my heart always be aligned with Your will. Thank You for being my anchor, my refuge, and my strength. I trust in Your perfect plan for my life and ask for the courage to follow it faithfully. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 14th 2025 – Hide and Seek

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me” (Jeremiah 29:13-14).

“But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deuteronomy 4:29).

Reflection:

God invites us to seek Him wholeheartedly. When we pursue Him with every fiber of our being, He promises that we will find Him. This reminds me of the joy of playing hide and seek with my children when they were little. They would close their eyes and count, their excitement building as they anticipated the search.

While I would find a hiding spot, they would eagerly explore every nook and cranny, opening closet doors and checking under beds. The thrill of searching was always fun, but the true joy came when they finally found me. I’d shout, “You found me!” and their delighted response, “I found you!” would lead to a celebration, marking the end of the game.

If my goal had been to hide in a place where they could never find me, the game wouldn’t have been enjoyable. The excitement lies in the discovery. Similarly, in our relationship with God, He doesn’t hide from us so well that we cannot find Him.

“If you seek Jesus with all your heart, you will find Him.” Hint… He is Right Here.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the promise that You are always near and that we can find You when we seek with all our heart. I am grateful that You do not hide Yourself from me, but instead, You invite me into a deeper relationship with You. Help me to pursue You with passion and dedication, to seek You in every moment of my life.

As I embark on this journey, instill in me a child-like anticipation and excitement for the moments we share together. Teach me to recognize Your presence in my daily life and to trust in Your guidance. May my heart be open to the whispers of Your Spirit, leading me closer to You.

I pray that my desire to know You more intimately grows stronger each day, and that I may bring others along this journey of discovery. May I celebrate every encounter with You, rejoicing in the joy of being found. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 13th 2025 – Understanding Our Struggles

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.” (Romans 7:15)

Reflection:

If you think you cannot identify with this statement, take a moment to look in the mirror. The Apostle Paul, who penned Romans and much of the New Testament, is being transparently honest about his struggles. And in his words, we find a reflection of our own battles. We all grapple with the temptation to stray from the path we desire to walk. In a world filled with distractions, temptations, and pressures, it’s all too easy to succumb to our flesh and act contrary to our intentions.

Consider the challenges we face today: societal division, moral ambiguity, and a relentless pace of life that often pulls us away from our values. These issues can make us feel overwhelmed, leading to feelings of defeat when we stumble. Yet, it’s crucial to remember that our struggles do not define us. Instead, they illuminate our need for God’s grace and strength. The desire to pursue righteousness is, in itself, a testament to God’s transformative work within us.

In Philippians 2:13, we read, “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” This promise assures us that we are never alone in our endeavors to do good. Every time we act with kindness, every moment we choose love over anger, every instance we seek to uplift rather than tear down, we are witnessing the evidence of God at work in our lives.

Your engagement with this devotion is a sign of your spiritual hunger. You are seeking something deeper, yearning for a connection with the divine. Each good deed you perform is not just an act of will but a manifestation of God’s presence in you. Take heart; be encouraged. The Creator of the universe sees His Son reflected in you, cherishing your efforts, however small they may seem.

As you go about your day, remember that you are a vessel for God’s goodness. Embrace the opportunities to express His love and grace, knowing that He is always working in you for His good pleasure.

“Embracing our struggles is the first step to recognizing the profound grace at work within us; in each moment of weakness, God reveals His strength, guiding us to reflect His love and righteousness in the world.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and praise. Thank You for the depth of Your love and the assurance that You are with us in our struggles. We acknowledge our shortcomings and the moments we fall short of Your glory. Yet, in these moments, we find hope in knowing that Your grace is sufficient for us.

Lord, please help us recognize the areas in our lives where we need Your guidance. Grant us the wisdom to discern right from wrong and the courage to act righteously. As we navigate the complexities of today’s world, fill us with Your strength to stand firm in our faith, to speak truth in love, and to be beacons of light in dark places.

May we always be aware of Your hand at work within us, compelling us to choose the path of righteousness. Make us instruments of Your peace in a world that desperately needs it. Help us to reflect Your love to those around us and to see the potential for good in every situation. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

October 12th 2025 – Homesick for Heaven

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it, we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”* (Philippians 3:20)

Reflection:

When you mention feeling homesick for heaven, many might wonder, “How can you miss a place you’ve never been?” Yet, for those of us who love and seek Jesus, it resonates deeply. There’s a growing sense of disconnection with the world around us, a feeling that the things we once cherished—our hobbies, our routines—are slowly losing their luster.

As I began to surrender my worries and truly seek Him, not just in church or among fellow believers, but in the quiet moments of my day, I noticed a profound shift. Walking the narrow road brought a clarity I hadn’t anticipated. Each day, I felt more and more detached from the chaos of this world, as if I was being gently led away from it.

In deepening my relationship with God, I became hyper-aware of my surroundings and my purpose. I realized that we are souls having a human experience, and that this earthly life is fleeting. The stresses and worries that once consumed my thoughts began to fade away. They simply didn’t matter the way they once did.

“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.” (1 John 2:16)

Everywhere I look, the signs are evident; prophecies unfolding right before our eyes remind us that we are nearing a divine homecoming. It feels like the excitement of childhood days leading up to a long-awaited trip, where anticipation fills every moment. We are in that same season now, waiting to meet Christ.

Life continues with its responsibilities—paying bills, working, studying—but amidst these tasks, we are called to let go of our worries. Whether it’s about our health or the uncertainties of tomorrow, we’re encouraged to embrace childlike faith. Trust that our Heavenly Father is in control and leading us home.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

I find myself increasingly homesick for heaven. It’s a feeling of separation, a yearning that intensifies daily. At one point, I wondered if something was wrong with me, and in my prayers, I asked Jesus to reveal the truth. He did, and it all made sense.

As these ties of stress, anxiety, and negativity begin to break away, I feel a sense of freedom emerging. The reality of what is to come—eternal life with Christ—consumes my thoughts. All I truly desire is to go home and be with Jesus.

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:3)

Call to Action:

So, let us live with this hope, this longing for our heavenly home. Remember that we are just passing through, and our true identity lies in Him. Embrace the journey, and look forward to the glorious reunion that awaits us. We are being called home, and soon, we will be with our Savior forever.

“Amidst the chaos of this world, my heart whispers a longing for home, where love and peace reign eternal in the presence of my Savior.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, In this moment, I come before You with a heart full of longing. I thank You for the promise of eternity with You, a hope that fills my soul with peace and joy. As I navigate the challenges and distractions of this world, I often feel homesick for heaven, yearning for the day when I will be fully united with You.

Lord, help me to remember that my true citizenship is in heaven. When I feel disconnected or overwhelmed by the burdens of life, remind me that I am just a traveler on this journey, and my home is with You. Teach me to embrace each day with purpose, seeking You in every moment and leaning on Your promises.

As I walk this narrow road, grant me the strength to let go of worries and anxieties that weigh me down. Help me to cast all my concerns upon You, knowing that You care for me deeply. Fill my heart with childlike faith, trusting in Your perfect plan and timing.

Lord, as I witness the signs of Your return, stir in me a sense of urgency and hope. May I be a light in this world, sharing the love of Christ with those around me. Help me to focus on what truly matters—knowing You, loving others, and preparing for the glorious homecoming that awaits.

Thank You for the assurance that You are always with me, guiding my steps and comforting my soul. I am grateful for the relationship we share and the promise of forever in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
