    Nov 30 2024
    Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Acts 27:44
    Faith anchors us when life’s waves threaten to overwhelm.

    Today’s daily devotional highlights Paul’s journey through a relentless storm and shipwreck on his way to Rome. Despite the chaos, God reassured Paul of their safety. As the ship broke apart near land, everyone survived and reached the shores of Malta safely.
    STORY
    Bible in a Year: The Mighty Storm
    Scripture
    And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

    Acts 27:44
    Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the storms of life, where every wave seems to threaten your very existence?

    Paul’s journey to Rome through a relentless storm and eventual shipwreck is a powerful reminder of God’s unwavering presence and promises.

    As Paul and Luke traveled by sea, they encountered a fierce storm that began to tear their ship apart. Despite the chaos and fear, God reassured Paul that everyone on board would reach Rome safely. This promise became Paul’s anchor in the midst of the storm.

    Have you ever experienced a time when God’s promises brought you peace amidst turmoil?

    As the storm continued to rage, the crew’s hope dwindled. Yet, Paul’s faith remained strong. When the ship finally broke apart near land, God’s promise was fulfilled as everyone survived, reaching the shores of Malta safely. This miraculous escape highlights God’s faithfulness and protection, even in the direst circumstances.

    How has God shown His faithfulness in your life, even when the situation seemed hopeless?

    Paul’s courage and trust in God’s promises remind us to hold on to our faith, no matter how fierce the storm. Just as God guided Paul and the crew to safety, He will guide us through our trials, turning our chaos into testimonies of His steadfast love and protection.
    REFLECTION
    Reflect on the storms you are currently facing or have faced in the past. Consider how God’s promises and presence have brought you peace and guidance.

    This week, focus on holding on to your faith, even when life’s waves threaten to overwhelm you.

    Spend time in prayer, asking God for the strength to trust in His promises and to see His hand at work in your life.

    PRAYER
    “And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.”
    ACTS 27:44
    As I continue on the Journey to my destiny and when the storms of life begin to beat on the ship of my life, I will urge those around me that God will bring us through, because the Lord is with me. Use me Lord to encourage those around me, even my enemies, that You have not forsaken us just because we have experienced a shipwrecked moment. Through Paul's story in Acts 27 I will celebrate the fact that whether I come in one piece or whether my life arrives in pieces, I will get to my final destination no matter what. Thank You Jesus that the current of Your favor will move me in the direction of my intended location. I am never lost when I put my hope and trust in You Lord! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾

    Nov 29 2024
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 90:12

    So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
    PSALM 90:12

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 90
    In our ever-changing world, we can find comfort in the everlasting and unchanging nature of God, knowing He has always existed, and He always will. He is the Alpha and the Omega-the One who gave us life, who will guide and lead us through our time here on earth, and the One who will take us to His eternal dwelling to rest.

    To begin tonight’s reading, take time to be still and breathe out the stresses of the day. Clear your mind as you receive the following words from our Lord. Allow His truth to focus your heart on eternity and give you a new perspective tonight.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: God's Word reminds us He is everlasting-He was, He is, and He is yet to come, meaning He is our past, present, and future. He is our constant in this changing world. Let us acknowledge and exalt Him for this amazing fact. We can dwell in His safety for all the days of our lives, and we can rest securely in His hands every night.

    CONFESSION: We can never hide our sins from God. Our secret sins, the darkness within us, are always brought to light in His presence. So, tonight, let's not hold on to our sins and struggles but let’s release them to God now. Confession is not to inform God of our sins but to come to God with our sins to be redeemed and restored by His grace and love.

    THANKSGIVING: Rejoice in His unfailing love and compassion. Thank the Lord for fully knowing you and fully loving you. Thank Him that He is unchanging and steady.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, I confess that sometimes I take my life for granted. Help me to number my days and live as though every single day matters. Point my thoughts and motives toward You, and bless the work of my hands, no matter how small or insignificant a job it might be. Bless me with Your peace and serenity tonight as I entrust my life, body, and spirit to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

    PRAYER
    “So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
    PSALM 90:12
    Dear Lord, as I retire to bed, may I rest peacefully, undisturbed by worries or fears, for I have numbered my days and know they are finite. Yet I find absolute comfort that my eternity is in You. Help me use my time on this earth wisely. I want to gain a heart of wisdom and sleep settled in Your soothing wisdom. Guide me to make the most of each moment, cherish my loved ones, seek knowledge and truth, and live with purpose and intention. May I wake in the morning renewed and ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Thank You for this day and all its blessings. Thank You for the chance to continue growing and learning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 89:1
    “I will sing of the loving kindness of the Lord forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.”
    PSALM 89:1

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 89
    The Bible reminds us over and over again of God’s loving-kindness and of His promise to preserve us and protect us, to set us apart for His glory. He knows the hearts of those who love Him, and He sees when they are afflicted. He will strengthen us through the day, and His hand will sustain us through the night. We are exalted by His righteousness; nothing can change His love for His people.

    Tonight, let us turn away from anything or anyone who diminishes our belief in the all-powerful God and place our trust in His mighty presence in our lives.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: The psalmist reminds us of God's power, sovereignty, and faithfulness in this passage. He reminds us that we can completely put our trust in Him because He is our Rock and Savior, our Father and Redeemer. Allow His constant presence to lighten your heart as you prepare for sleep tonight.

    CONFESSION: Confess any time you rely on your own strength instead of asking the Lord for His help and guidance. Turn to Him and ask for His forgiveness, knowing that He listens and forgives freely.

    THANKSGIVING: Rejoice in the faithfulness of the Lord, for His power and might that are with you always. Thank Him for the blessings and favor He has poured upon you.

    SUPPLICATION: Lord, You are a God who doesn't change, and I am grateful. Even when I don't understand some circumstances in life, I know You are with me and keeping Your promises to me. Thank You for Your faithfulness in the past as well as in my future. Sustain me this night for a deep, peaceful sleep, and fill me with Your strength as I go into a new day tomorrow. All glory to You. Amen.

    PRAYER
    “I will sing of the loving kindness of the Lord forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.”
    PSALM 89:1
    Good and holy God, the heavens declare Your majesty, and the fulness of the earth is under You. I could live a thousand lifetimes and never fully grasp the expanse of Your glory. The sun has set, and a blanket of shadows covers the earth. I ask that You would cover me with comfort. Envelop me with Your mercy and steadfast love. Give me rest that can only come from God above. As I sleep, flood my mind with thoughts of awe, gratitude, and thanksgiving. As my body recovers from the day, restore my heart and mind. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾

    Nov 27 2024
    Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Acts 23:3
    God’s protection often comes through unexpected avenues.

    Today’s daily devotional highlights Paul’s trial before the council, where he cleverly causes a division among his accusers by declaring his hope in the resurrection. The fierce argument that ensues forces the Roman judge to protect Paul. While in prison, Paul receives confirmation from God that he will continue his mission in Rome.
    STORY
    Bible in a Year: Whitewashed Tombs
    Scripture
    Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

    Acts 23:3
    Have you ever found yourself surrounded by hostility, yet felt a sense of calm and direction from God?

    Paul’s experience before the Jewish council and his protection through the Roman legal system is a testament to God’s sovereign protection and guidance even in the most dangerous situations.

    Paul stood before a hostile council determined to end his life. Instead of succumbing to fear, he used his knowledge of the religious differences among his accusers to shift the focus from himself. Declaring his belief in the resurrection, Paul caused a fierce argument between the Pharisees and Sadducees, resulting in the Roman judge intervening to protect him. This demonstrates the power of wisdom and discernment in turning the tide in our favor.

    Have you ever used discernment to navigate a challenging situation successfully?

    While in prison, Paul received a reassuring word from God that he would be sent to Rome to continue his mission. Despite the immediate threats, Paul’s faith and God’s protection ensured his survival and continued purpose. This story reminds us that God’s presence and reassurances bring peace and direction even in the midst of trials.

    How do you find strength and reassurance in God’s promises during difficult times?
    REFLECTION
    This week, focus on seeking God’s wisdom and discernment to navigate challenging circumstances. Spend time in prayer, asking God for the strength to stand firm in your faith and for the reassurance of His promises. Look for opportunities to shift the focus from yourself to God’s greater plan, just as Paul did.

    PRAYER
    “Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?”
    ACTS 23:3
    Heavenly Father…..when deceitful people plot against me to hinder and derail the purposes of my life, like Paul in today's reading, I thank You that You have a special messenger that will relay the plans of the enemy to those who can shift and redirect my steps to safety. Move on my behalf today and direct my life to the place of safety surrounded by men and women who are dedicated to helping me get to the final destination in my life. I declare that no plan of the enemy will thwart the eternal plans of God! I declare that even in the midst of hatred and violence You will preserve me because You have purposed me to do great things on Your behalf Jesus. Therefore, I will not be moved by the shouts and words of others, I will not allow their ignorance to overshadow my significance. I acknowledge today that I am called and because I am called no man can cancel what You've already approved! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾

    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 87:5

    Yes, of Zion it will be said, 'This one and that one was born in her;' the Most High himself will establish her.”
    PSALM 87:5

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 87
    Tonight's psalm paints a beautiful picture of God's return from heaven to earth when He will rule from His city on a hill- Jerusalem. Believers from every tribe and nation will bow down and worship Him. As we picture this, we are reminded of our bright eternal future with God.

    While God hasn’t returned to earth in power and glory yet, we can all rest, no matter where we are or what goes on around us-we are secure in Him.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Close your eyes and imagine a brilliant city filled with the glory of God sitting upon a hill, shining its light into the darkness, giving life from its springs to its inhabitants. Hear its inhabitants sing, with one voice, the most beautiful song of praise to God, accompanied by stringed instruments played by musicians strumming a tune as old as time. This is the promise of God’s kingdom here on earth. Find rest in God's presence; dwell in His city's safety; worship Him for the joy that is ours through Him.

    CONFESSION: Bring your struggles to the Lord, confessing any sin that is hindering your relationship with Him. Ask Him to draw you near to Him with His forgiveness and to help you resist everything that distracts you in your relationship with Him.

    THANKSGIVING: Praise the name of the Lord, rejoicing in His promises. Thank Him for the times when He has shown you His mercy and grace. Thank Him for His faithfulness in your life and for the hope of an eternity spent with Him.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, knowing You are Lord over all the nations, all the tribes, all the peoples, and over my life is a gift and a source of peace. I put my trust in You and believe in Your plans for my future. Help me to remember Your Majesty when facing difficult times. Help me to rest securely in You tonight and into a new day. May Your grace sustain me, and Your mercy bless me in restoring my soul. All praise and glory to You. Amen.

    PRAYER
    “Yes, of Zion it will be said, 'This one and that one was born in her;' the Most High himself will establish her.”
    PSALM 87:5
    Dear Lord Jesus, You are the hero of history and the savior of the world. The Kingdom of Heaven is established through You. Through Your sacrifice, I have been born again into love and Purpose. Tonight, I seek not simply sleep but restoration for the path ahead. I want to be filled by Your Spirit and empowered on every excellent deed You have set out before me. You declare in Your word that there are predestined and pre-ordained works for me to walk in. Tonight, as I lay my head down and dream about tomorrow, give me visions of those great things You will do. Give me a beautiful insight into Your plans and purposes so that I may arise tomorrow with fire in my belly and strength in my bones! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 86:11

    Teach me your way, Lord. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.”
    PSALM 86:11

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 86
    Tonight's psalm reminds us that God is, and always will be, our greatest help when we face trials or tribulations. Trials can be confusing and leave us wondering what, when, and how to move forward. He has the solutions, He knows the perfect path to take, and He is faithful to complete what He’s started in our lives.

    The key to our peace through it all is to remain focused on Him and draw from His strength and direction. Take a moment to still your mind and offer your struggles up to Him. Allow this unburdening of your heart to usher in the peace and rest you so long for tonight. He wants to bless you with His help. He is ready to provide all that you need.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Take a moment to focus your thoughts on God's sovereignty, His power, love, and might that rule over all the earth. Know He is in complete control of your world, and only He can do the wondrous things you desire and need in your life. Think of all His mighty deeds you have witnessed, answered prayers, and amazing acts in your life and the lives around you. Rest in the Lord’s strength, knowing He always has been and always will be Your help.

    CONFESSION: Confess any fear and doubts that are keeping you from surrendering to Him, along with any lack of trust that He will be your help even in the toughest situations. Ask for the Lord to show you His mercy and grace, then receive it.

    THANKSGIVING: Think of a time when God delivered you from your distress. Thank Him for the ways He has helped you and for the times when He has comforted you. Praise Him for the good things He has done in your life.

    SUPPLICATION: Lord, I call upon You now for help, for comfort, for provision, and strength. My eyes are on You and You alone. Teach me Your ways and sustain me through all that doesn’t make sense right now. Guide me, protect me, and sustain me through this night. InJesus' name, I pray. Amen.

    PRAYER
    “Teach me your way, Lord. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.”
    PSALM 86:11
    Gracious God, there is no one like You. You have shown favor to the faithful through chaos, calamity, and cultural strife. I am grateful for Your faithfulness and overwhelmed by Your goodness. My heart beats in tandem with the Psalm of David, declaring You are slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Though I am undeserving of Your grace, You pour it out abundantly. Tonight, as the sun sets and the stillness of the night approaches, may all Your good and gracious deeds flood my memory. I pray my heart would rest in a bed of humility, knowing that You have dealt with me graciously. There is no amount of striving or climbing I could ever attempt to climb upon Your holy mountain. You carry me there with kindness. So hold me tonight, Lord Jesus. Carry me to comfort. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Nov 24 2024
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 85:1

    Lord, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.”
    PSALM 85:1

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 85
    Even when we go through times or seasons when we stray from God’s presence, His truth and righteousness work to restore us to Himself because His love for us is so great. It’s comforting to know that He is always ready to forgive and bring us back into His grace.

    As tonight’s psalm says, His unfailing love and the joy of His salvation bring the restoration we need to begin again. Breathe out the sorrows and regrets from the day, and inhale God’s life-giving pres­ ence and love. Sook in the strength and renewal His Word of truth gives, and rest in His core. Clear your mind of any distractions by letting go of the anxious thoughts from today and your to-do list for tomorrow, focusing instead on God’s faithfulness and love.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Meditating on God’s love, truth, and righteousness will renew your mind and refresh your spirit, awakening a new longing for the Lord and His ways within you. He will lighten your heart with His forgiveness and love. Praise Him now for His goodness to you.

    CONFESSION: Confess any sin the Lord has convicted you of, repenting and asking for His forgiveness. Know His love, poured out for you, covers all your sin and shame.

    THANKSGIVING: Rejoice in the righteousness of the Lord, thinking of the ways He has been faithful in your life. Thank Him for the times when He has healed you and restored you. Thank Him for the times when He has blessed you with a plentiful harvest.

    SUPPLICATION: Lord, I’m both humbled and grateful I can come to You without fear, knowing Your forgiveness awaits. Your healing and restoration are what I need tonight and every night. I look to You as my Light to guide me
    into a safe, quiet place where I can rest. Your faithfulness to me is amazing. All glory to You. Amen.

    PRAYER
    “Lord, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.”
    PSALM 85:1
    Dear God, tonight as I lay my weary head upon my pillow, I will close my eyes and be consumed with ways to bless You. In this moment of peaceful silence, before I am whisked away to peaceful sleep, I seek to hear Your loving voice. Your words bring comfort and peace, but they also bring purpose. I know there is no joy without finding purpose in You. So I pray that You would reveal Your will, release me from restlessness, and give me responsibility. Yes, Lord, set a path before me so I might walk faithfully. Only then will I be able to lay my head down and be at peace, knowing that I ran a good race, fought a good fight, and endured difficulty for the sake of Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, I trust. In Jesus’ name, I follow. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
