Isaiah 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts you.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Have you ever looked back on your life and thought, “Wow God, I see You now”? I see why You allowed that to happen. I see why I had to learn that lesson. I see why You didn’t let me give up. Maybe there was even a situation where God didn’t allow you to continue, something you didn’t understand at the time. It may have felt confus

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." If you’re in the middle of this storm with me, I want to share something God has been teaching me through surrender: It’s a daily commitment . Notice in Matthew He didn't say come to me once. He said "come." So that means every time! Not just today, tomorrow, or after you try all week in your own strength. We say we surrender in prayer, and in that moment, we mean it. But minutes or eve

Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Surrendering can be difficult as you learn to depend on God. It’s easier said than done. We can say, “God, I surrender this relationship to You. I surrender this habit. I surrender everything.” But when we begin to walk through real life and face emotional strongholds, it’s easy to feel defeated. What God showed me this week was something beautiful. As I surrendered to Him momen

Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." Yesterday I sat down to write a guided devotion to help you discern God's voice. What greater way to lead you after you just surrendered right? But as I began typing, I kept hitting the back space over and over. I was frustrated and couldn't understand why I just couldn't operate in my gift tonight. I felt completely defeated. I prayed multiple times....and still nothing. I remember thinking, "God, You called me. I keep showing u

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Surrendering isn’t giving up. It’s letting go and trusting God fully. It’s recognizing that you are not equipped to make every change in your life on your own. It’s understanding that His strength is made perfect in your weakness. Surrender is noticing the patterns within yourself that lead to unhealthy choices an

Have you ever prayed for something and thought, “God, if I just delight in You, you’ll give me everything I want?” You may even feel a little frustrated when it doesn’t happen the way you expected, that’s okay, it means God is working in ways that are bigger than our desires. Today, we’re going to explore what it truly means to delight in the Lord, how it transforms our hearts, and how His love reshapes even the deepest longings within us. Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in th

Yesterday we learned the importance of repentance leading to humility. Today I want you to understand God’s grace and mercy. Grace and mercy are often mentioned together in Scripture, but they are not the same. Grace is receiving something we do not deserve, while mercy is being spared from something we do deserve. Ephesians 2:8-9 says: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one ca

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit. When we turn from sin, our hearts are softened. God calls us to walk humbly, and it’s in this posture that His grace flows freely. I’ll never forget one night while I was in prayer. It had been a very rough week, and I almost didn’t pray. I said, “God, I’ve been bothering You all week with this same issue. Maybe I’ll be quiet tonight.” But I remembered I wasn’t a burden to my Father. He wan

Philippians 4:6 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” When you start to understand that God actually desires to help you, you begin to experience His love in a whole new way. You begin to realize that you are a priority to Him . What is a burden? Something that weighs you down, keeps you from completing a task, or even stops you from moving forward. Are you so powerful th

The Beginning of Restoration: Prayer Restoration is the season where we learn to trust God with our pain. It is not about God suddenly making our lives perfect. Instead, it is about Him healing what is broken and teaching us to release it to Him through prayer. Prayer is where true intimacy with God, begins. In fact, during seasons of restoration, you may find that God allows you to feel uncomfortable. That discomfort is often where He gently teaches us to rely on Him instead

Now that you understand how deeply you are loved, let this be the place you return to again and again. To His love. From this day forward, when doubt whispers or fear tries to rise, gently remind yourself of who God is and who you are to Him. His love is not just a comfort; it is your anchor. When you stay rooted in His character, faithful, patient, kind, and merciful you will find that the lies you once believed begin to lose their power. The more you remind yourself of His

Before you go to sleep tonight, remember this: God’s love is not something you earn. 1 John 4:19 says, “We love because He first loved us.” And 1 John 4:10 explains it even deeper: “Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.” Love did not begin with us. It began with Him. I pray this truth brings you great comfort wherever you are today. I remember a season in my life when I questioned whether

If you are new to faith or you are a woman trying to believe God's love is real for you, this is for you. Some days you feel hopeful. Other days you feel overwhelmed, unsure, or like you are not doing it right. Take a breath: you do not have to have everything figured out to be loved by God. You are not behind. You are not disqualified. And you are not alone. 1) God's love is not something you earn It is easy to think faith is mainly about getting your life together. But the

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when God gently invites us to open our hearts again. Not because He doesn’t know what’s inside, but because we need to let Him in. An open heart is not a perfect heart. It’s a willing one. It’s the place where healing begins, where truth settles, and where God’s love can finally breathe. Sometimes our hearts close without us realizing it. Pain hardens us. Disappointment silences us. Shame isolates us. Fear convinces us to protect

Romans 5:8 — “But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” One day I caught myself writing a long list of actions I felt I needed forgiveness for. I had been treating grace like something I had to earn, until the Holy Spirit helped me understand that grace is not earned it is a gift. A gift Jesus died for us to receive, and a gift God longs to give freely. I had spent so much time focusing on my imperfections that I didn’t realize Go

I remember sitting on the couch one day after giving birth to my newborn son, Aariz. While he was napping, I was trying to navigate through a different kind of pain the heartbreak that comes from sin. As I sat in the mess I created, one of my favorite verses came to mind: “I call on the Lord in my distress, and He answers me.” — Psalm 120:1. It was in that moment I knew I had to return to God. I did the only thing I could do. I cried out for help. I asked God to heal me, res
