Lost And Found Road Warriors

09/08/2026

Goodmorning everyone it’s Tuesday I challenge you today to do something unexpected for your spouse or someone in need. Here is today’s devotional.

Fight for Your Marriage, Not Against Each Other

Scripture:

> “And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” — Ephesians 5:21 (NLT)

Marriage was never promised to be easy. Two imperfect people bring different personalities, backgrounds, habits, expectations, and struggles into one life together. There will be disagreements. There will be days when communication is difficult. There may even be seasons when you wonder how you became so distant from the person you once felt so close to.

But marriage is not about finding someone you will never struggle with. It is about making a covenant with someone and choosing to keep fighting for that covenant even when life gets difficult.

Sometimes husbands and wives become so focused on winning arguments that they forget they are on the same team.

Your spouse is not your enemy.

The enemy would love nothing more than to turn small disagreements into bitterness, bitterness into resentment, and resentment into distance. He wants husbands and wives keeping score instead of showing grace. He wants pride to keep someone from apologizing. He wants hurt feelings to become walls.

But Scripture reminds us that love does not keep a record of wrongs.

Marriage requires two people who are willing to say, “Our relationship matters more than my pride.”

Sometimes that means apologizing when you would rather defend yourself.

Sometimes it means listening instead of preparing your next argument.

Sometimes it means forgiving even when the hurt was real.

Sometimes it means choosing your spouse again when the feelings are not as strong as they once were.

And sometimes it means getting on your knees together and admitting, “Jesus, we cannot do this without You.”

A strong marriage is not built simply by loving each other. It is built by both people loving Christ.

Picture a triangle. The husband is on one side, the wife is on the other, and Christ is at the top. The closer both people move toward Christ, the closer they naturally move toward one another.

That is why one of the greatest things you can do for your marriage is strengthen your relationship with Jesus.

Pray for your spouse.

Pray with your spouse.

Read Scripture together.

Worship together.

Serve together.

Protect your marriage from anything that tries to take the place that belongs to your spouse.

Marriage is a covenant, not a convenience.

There will be moments when love feels effortless, and there will be moments when love becomes a decision. In those moments, remember how Christ loves us. Jesus did not love us only when we were easy to love. He loved sacrificially.

Ephesians 5:25 says:

> “For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her.” — Ephesians 5:25 (NLT)

That kind of love asks, “How can I serve you?” instead of always asking, “What are you doing for me?”

Your marriage does not need two perfect people.

It needs two surrendered people.

Two forgiving people.

Two praying people.

Two people who have decided that when problems come, they will attack the problem instead of attacking one another.

So when marriage gets difficult, do not immediately start looking for an exit.

Start looking toward Jesus.

Remember why you chose each other.

Start communicating again.

Start praying again.

Start dating again.

Start encouraging each other again.

And above everything else, invite God back into every area where distance has started growing.

Challenge:
Today, ask yourself: Have I been fighting for my spouse, or fighting against my spouse?

Then do something intentional. Tell your spouse what you appreciate about them. Apologize if you need to. Put the phones down. Spend time together. Pray together.

Small acts of love done consistently can rebuild things that slowly became weak.

Prayer

Father, thank You for the gift of marriage. Help us remember that our spouse is not our enemy but someone You have called us to love, honor, serve, and encourage. Remove pride, bitterness, selfishness, and unforgiveness from our hearts. Teach us to communicate with grace and forgive the way You have forgiven us. When our marriage becomes difficult, help us run toward You instead of away from each other. Keep Christ at the center of our home and strengthen our covenant every day. Help us fight for one another, pray for one another, and love one another with the sacrificial love You have shown us. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Good morning everyone it's Friday. No video today because I'm loosing my voice but Monday I'll start again. I challenge y'all today to pray for someone who is in need. Here is today's devotional.

Start Your Day at the Throne

Scripture: Psalm 5:3 (NLT)
“Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.”

Psalm 5 gives us a picture of a man who knew exactly where to go when life got heavy. David had enemies around him, pressure coming against him, and people who wanted to see him fall. But before David fought his battles, he went to God.

He says, “Each morning I bring my requests to you.”

There is something powerful about giving God the first part of your day.

Before the phone.
Before social media.
Before the problems.
Before the responsibilities.
Before you start carrying everything on your shoulders.

Go to God.

Too many times we wake up and immediately start thinking about everything that could go wrong. We check notifications, think about bills, work, relationships, schedules, and everything waiting on us. Before we know it, our minds are already overwhelmed.

David shows us another way.

He basically says, “God, before I deal with them, I’m going to deal with You. Before I listen to their voices, I’m going to listen for Yours.”

Psalm 5 also reminds us that God is holy. David understood that evil cannot stand in God’s presence. God sees wickedness. God sees dishonesty. God sees the things people may think they are getting away with.

That means you don’t have to spend your life trying to get even with everyone who wrongs you.

Let God handle what you cannot control.

David didn’t ask God to make him strong enough to destroy everybody around him. He prayed:

“Lead me in the right path, O Lord…” — Psalm 5:8

That needs to become our prayer too.

“Lord, don’t just change my situation.
Change my direction.

Don’t just remove my enemies.
Keep me from becoming like them.

Don’t just bless my plans.
Lead me into Yours.”

Sometimes the greatest answer to prayer isn’t God removing the difficult road. It’s God showing you how to walk through it without losing your faith, your character, or your obedience.

Then David ends Psalm 5 with confidence.

“For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love.” — Psalm 5:12

Think about that.

You are surrounded.

You may feel surrounded by problems, but you are also surrounded by God’s favor.

You may feel surrounded by opposition, but you are also surrounded by His protection.

You may feel surrounded by uncertainty, but you are surrounded by the love of a God who already knows what today holds.

So tomorrow morning, before you pick up your worries, pick up your prayer.

Before you enter the battlefield, enter His presence.

Before you ask yourself, “How am I going to make it through today?”

Say:

“God, lead me through today.”

Because when you start your day at the throne, you don’t have to face the day alone.

Prayer

Lord, help us to seek You before we seek anything else. When we wake up, remind us that You deserve the first moments of our day. Hear our prayers, guide our steps, and keep our hearts focused on You. When people come against us, keep us from responding in the flesh. Lead us in Your righteousness and help us trust You to fight the battles we cannot fight ourselves. Thank You for surrounding us with Your love, favor, and protection. No matter what today brings, help us remember that we do not walk into it alone. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Goodmornin everyone it's Friday. I challenge you today to tell someone your testimony. Here is today's devotional.

ROOT YOURSELF IN CHRIST 🌳✝️

Scripture:
Colossians 2:6–7 (NLT) — “And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.”

A tree doesn’t survive a storm because of what you see above the ground. It survives because of what you can’t see beneath it.

The deeper the roots, the harder it is to move the tree.

And the same is true spiritually.

You can look strong on the outside. You can go to church, post Scripture, worship on Sunday, serve in ministry, and tell everybody that God is good—but when the storm hits, your roots reveal what you’re really connected to.

Because storms don’t create your foundation.

They expose it.

Some people are rooted in approval.
Some are rooted in relationships.
Some are rooted in money.
Some are rooted in comfort.
Some are rooted in their emotions.
Some are even rooted in church activity without actually being deeply rooted in Christ.

And anything you root yourself in besides Jesus can eventually be shaken.

People can leave.

Money can disappear.

Plans can change.

Feelings can lie.

Doors can close.

But Jesus remains.

That’s why Paul says, “Let your roots grow down into Him.”

Notice he doesn’t say simply believe in Him. He says grow into Him.

Roots grow through time.

Roots grow through pressure.

Roots grow while nobody is watching.

Roots grow in the dark.

Maybe you’re in a season where you feel buried instead of blessed. Maybe God feels quiet. Maybe nobody sees what you’re going through. Maybe you’re wondering why God has allowed you to be in such a difficult place.

But what if you’re not buried?

What if you’ve been planted?

Seeds grow underground before anything becomes visible above ground.

God may be developing something in you that people cannot see yet.

Your prayer life is getting deeper.

Your dependence on Him is getting stronger.

Your hunger for His Word is increasing.

Your discernment is sharpening.

Your faith is becoming less dependent on circumstances.

God is growing roots before He grows fruit.

And we have to stop wanting fruit without roots.

We want the calling without the preparation.

We want the platform without the prayer closet.

We want victory without discipline.

We want spiritual authority without spiritual depth.

But God cares more about who you’re becoming underneath the surface than how impressive you look above it.

Because if your roots aren’t deep enough, the weight of what you prayed for could eventually pull you over.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:24–25 that the person who hears His teaching and follows it is like someone who built a house on solid rock. The rain came. The floods rose. The winds beat against the house.

Notice something:

Following Jesus didn’t stop the storm.

The difference was that when the storm came, the house remained standing.

Being rooted in Christ doesn’t mean you’ll never cry.

It doesn’t mean you’ll never struggle.

It doesn’t mean you’ll never experience loss, disappointment, temptation, or fear.

It means when everything around you starts shaking, there is something underneath you that refuses to move.

When the doctor gives bad news—I’m rooted.

When somebody walks away—I’m rooted.

When the money gets tight—I’m rooted.

When the prayer hasn’t been answered yet—I’m rooted.

When temptation comes knocking—I’m rooted.

When the enemy whispers, “God has forgotten you”—I’m rooted.

When you don’t understand what God is doing—I’m still rooted.

Because your faith isn’t built on what happened today.

Your faith is built on Jesus Christ.

So stop checking your circumstances to determine whether God is faithful.

Check the cross.

Stop allowing people’s opinions to determine your worth.

Check the cross.

Stop letting one bad season convince you that God has abandoned you.

Check the cross.

Jesus already proved how far He was willing to go for you.

Now dig deeper.

Pray when you don’t feel like praying.

Open your Bible when you’re tired.

Worship when life hurts.

Obey when you don’t understand.

Stay faithful when nobody applauds.

Keep seeking Him when heaven feels quiet.

Because every time you choose Jesus over your feelings, your roots go deeper.

And eventually the storm that would have destroyed the old you will reveal what God has built in the new you.

Don’t just ask God to remove the storm. Ask Him to deepen your roots.

Because shallow Christians need perfect conditions to survive.

But Christians rooted deeply in Christ can stand through seasons they never thought they could endure.

The question isn’t:

“How strong is the storm?”

The question is:

“How deep are your roots?”

Root yourself so deeply in Jesus that when life tries to shake you, Christ is what it finds underneath you.

Prayer 🙏

Father, root us deeply in You. Forgive us for the times we’ve built our identity, security, and happiness on things that can be taken away. Teach us to build our lives completely on Jesus. When storms come, strengthen our faith. When we feel buried, remind us that You may be planting us. Grow our roots deeper before You grow our influence wider. Give us a hunger for Your Word, a stronger prayer life, and the courage to obey You even when we don’t understand. We don’t just want to look strong—we want to be deeply rooted in Christ. Let our lives produce fruit that points people back to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🌳 ROOT DEEP. STAND FIRM. BEAR FRUIT. ✝️

The deeper your roots are in Christ, the less power the storms of life have to move you.

Goodmornin everyone it's Thursday. I challenge you today to go up to someone and tell them about your God. Here is today's devotional.

Fan the Flames Inside You

Scripture:
“This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you…” — 2 Timothy 1:6 (NLT)

There is a fire inside you that God never intended to die.

Maybe you used to pray with passion. Maybe you used to open your Bible hungry for a Word from God. Maybe you used to worship without worrying about who was watching. Maybe you used to tell people about Jesus without hesitation.

But somewhere along the way, the flame got smaller.

Life happened.
Disappointment happened.
People hurt you.
Prayers seemed unanswered.
You got tired.
You got distracted.
You got comfortable.

And what once burned like a wildfire started looking like a few glowing coals.

But hear this:

A small flame doesn’t mean the fire is dead.

Paul told Timothy, “fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you.”

Notice Paul didn’t tell Timothy to wait for God to do it.

He told Timothy to fan the flame.

Sometimes we’re praying, “God, set me on fire again!”

And God is saying, “Start feeding the fire I already put inside you.”

You can’t constantly feed your flesh and wonder why your spirit feels weak.

You can’t spend hours consuming the world and give God five distracted minutes and wonder why you don’t feel spiritually hungry.

You can’t keep pouring the cold water of compromise, complacency, bitterness, secret sin, and distraction onto your spiritual life and expect the fire to keep raging.

Fire has to be fed.

Feed it with prayer.

Feed it with Scripture.

Feed it with worship.

Feed it with obedience.

Feed it by serving.

Feed it by getting around people who are burning for Jesus.

Feed it by removing the things that keep suffocating what God is trying to ignite.

Some of us don’t need another prophecy.

We don’t need another conference.

We don’t need another emotional moment at the altar.

We need to start putting wood back on the fire.

Because the enemy would love nothing more than to turn a burning Christian into a comfortable Christian.

He doesn’t necessarily need you to stop believing in Jesus.

He just wants you to stop burning for Jesus.

He wants you saved but silent.

Gifted but inactive.

Called but distracted.

Anointed but comfortable.

Full of potential but empty of passion.

Because the enemy knows what happens when somebody who has been spiritually asleep catches fire again.

Prayer changes.

Worship changes.

Families change.

Marriages change.

Churches change.

Communities change.

People start hearing about Jesus.

Chains start breaking.

The Gospel starts moving.

That’s why you cannot allow yesterday’s disappointment to extinguish today’s calling.

Maybe you’ve fallen.

Get back up.

Maybe you’ve gotten cold.

Get close to the Fire again.

Maybe you’ve been distracted.

Fix your eyes back on Jesus.

Maybe you’ve stopped using your gift.

Start using it again.

Maybe you’ve stopped praying.

Pray again.

Maybe you’ve stopped believing.

Believe again.

Maybe you’ve stopped serving.

Serve again.

The flame may be small right now, but there’s still something burning.

And if there’s still an ember, God can turn it into an inferno.

Don’t spend your life talking about how on fire you used to be.

Don’t spend your life remembering when you used to pray.

When you used to worship.

When you used to serve.

When you used to tell people about Jesus.

Fan the flames inside you.

Your family needs you burning.

Your church needs you burning.

Your community needs you burning.

There are people who haven’t met Jesus yet who may encounter Him because you refused to let your flame die.

So put another log on the fire.

Open your Bible.

Get on your knees.

Turn the distractions off.

Repent of what needs to go.

Use the gift God gave you.

Walk in your calling.

And tell the enemy:

“You may have tried to bury the fire, but you couldn’t kill the ember.”

Because God didn’t call you to spend your life producing smoke.

He called you to burn.

🔥 Challenge

Ask yourself today:

What have I been feeding more—the fire God put inside me, or the things that are putting it out?

Whatever has been suffocating your flame, deal with it.

Whatever feeds your flame, do more of it.

Don’t wait until Sunday.

Don’t wait until you “feel spiritual.”

Fan the flame TODAY.

🙏 Prayer

Father, forgive us for allowing the fire You placed inside us to grow weak. Forgive us for feeding distractions, comfort, sin, and the things of this world more than we’ve fed our relationship with You. Stir our hearts again. Give us a hunger for Your Word, a passion for prayer, boldness to share the Gospel, and courage to walk in the gifts You’ve given us. Remove anything that is suffocating the flame. We don’t want to simply remember when we were on fire for You—we want to burn for You right now. Holy Spirit, breathe on the embers inside us and turn them into a raging fire for Jesus. Let our lives burn so brightly that others see Christ through us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🔥 DON’T JUST PROTECT THE EMBER—FAN THE FLAME.

Goodmornin everyone we are half way through the week. I pray that as you go through the day that you receive the wisdom that God has sent you. Here is today's devotional.

Do You Keep Feeding What God Is Trying to Kill in You?

Scripture:

“So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you.” — Colossians 3:5

There are some things we keep asking God to remove while we keep giving them something to eat.

We pray, “God, take this anger away.”
Then we keep replaying what they did to us.

We pray, “God, take this temptation away.”
Then we keep putting ourselves around the very thing that tempts us.

We pray, “God, break this addiction.”
Then we keep making excuses for one more time.

We pray, “God, remove this person from my heart.”
Then we keep checking their page, rereading the messages, and reopening a door God already closed.

We pray, “God, kill my pride.”
Then we refuse correction because we always have to be right.

At some point, we have to ask ourselves:

Am I fighting what God is trying to kill—or am I feeding it?

Stop Feeding What You’re Praying Against

Some things in our lives aren’t surviving because God hasn’t moved.

They’re surviving because we keep feeding them.

Romans 8:13 says:

“But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.”

Notice the language: put it to death.

God isn’t telling us to manage our sin.
He isn’t telling us to make our sin comfortable.
He isn’t telling us to hide it better.

He tells us to kill it.

There are things that cannot go where God is taking you.

That bitterness can’t go.

That secret sin can’t go.

That unhealthy relationship can’t go.

That uncontrolled anger can’t go.

That pride can’t go.

That habit you keep defending can’t go.

And sometimes we become frustrated because we’re asking God for a new season while desperately holding onto something from the old one.

You can’t keep resurrecting what God told you to bury.

Whatever You Feed Gets Stronger

Think about two dogs fighting. If you continually feed one and starve the other, eventually one becomes stronger.

The same thing happens spiritually.

Feed your flesh, and your flesh becomes louder.

Feed your spirit, and your spirit becomes stronger.

If you constantly feed lust, don’t be surprised when temptation feels powerful.

If you constantly feed anger, don’t be surprised when forgiveness feels impossible.

If you constantly feed negativity, don’t be surprised when gratitude becomes difficult.

If you constantly feed worldly influences while starving yourself of Scripture, prayer, worship, and Christian community, don’t be surprised when God’s voice seems quiet.

The question isn’t only, “What am I fighting?”

The deeper question is:

“What am I feeding?”

Galatians 6:8 says:

“Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature.”

You cannot continually feed something and then wonder why it refuses to die.

Sometimes Deliverance Looks Like a Decision

We love praying, “God, deliver me.”

And we should.

But sometimes God’s answer is:

Delete the number.

Leave the conversation.

Stop going there.

Turn the phone off.

End the relationship.

Confess the secret.

Get accountability.

Forgive them.

Stop making excuses.

We sometimes want supernatural deliverance without practical obedience.

But Jesus said in Matthew 5:30:

“And if your hand—even your stronger hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away.”

Jesus was emphasizing the seriousness with which we should deal with sin.

In other words:

Stop playing with something that’s trying to destroy you.

Some of us are asking God to close a door while keeping our foot in it.

We’re asking Him to break chains while keeping the key in our pocket.

We’re asking Him to kill something while secretly keeping it on life support.

What Are You Keeping Alive?

Maybe today God isn’t asking you to add something to your life.

Maybe He’s asking you to starve something.

Starve the bitterness.

Starve the lust.

Starve the gossip.

Starve the pride.

Starve the jealousy.

Starve the addiction.

Starve the need for people’s approval.

Starve the relationship pulling you away from Jesus.

Starve the habit destroying your spiritual hunger.

And start feeding what God is growing inside you.

Feed your faith.

Feed yourself Scripture.

Feed your prayer life.

Feed your worship.

Feed your relationship with Jesus.

Because you cannot starve your spirit all week, feed your flesh every day, and expect to be spiritually strong when temptation comes.

Stop Digging It Back Up

Here’s the hard question:

What has God been trying to kill in you that you keep bringing back to life?

Maybe God already convicted you about it.

Maybe you already know it’s unhealthy.

Maybe you’ve already cried about it.

Maybe you’ve already prayed about it.

But every time God begins removing it, you go back and feed it again.

Today, make the decision:

“God, whatever You want dead in me, I refuse to keep alive.”

If it’s keeping me from You, starve it.

If it’s destroying my family, starve it.

If it’s controlling my thoughts, starve it.

If it’s weakening my witness, starve it.

If it’s pulling me back toward the person I used to be, starve it.

Because Jesus didn’t die so we could become better at hiding our chains.

He died to set us free from them.

Prayer

Father, show us what we have been feeding that You have been trying to kill. Expose every habit, attitude, relationship, temptation, and secret sin that is keeping us from becoming who You have called us to be. Give us the courage to stop making excuses and start walking in obedience. Help us starve our flesh and feed our spirit. If You tell us to walk away, give us strength to walk. If You tell us to let go, give us faith to release it. We don’t want to keep resurrecting what You have told us to bury. Create clean hearts within us and make us hungry for You above everything else. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Remember:

You can’t ask God to kill something on Sunday and spend Monday through Saturday feeding it.

Stop feeding what God is trying to kill in you.

08/25/2026

Goodmornin everyone it's Tuesday. I pray that as you go through the day God sends you a person to bless. Here is today's devotional.

Is There Room in Your Attic?

Scripture:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” — Psalm 139:23–24 (NLT)

Most of us have a place where we put things we don’t want to deal with.

For some people, it’s the attic.

When something no longer fits downstairs, we carry it upstairs. When we don’t know what to do with something, we put it in a box. When something has memories attached to it, we store it away. Eventually, the attic becomes full of things we haven’t used in years—but we still refuse to throw them away.

Our hearts can become the same way.

We come to Jesus. We worship. We pray. We go to church. We tell God, “You can have my life.”

But sometimes what we really mean is:

“God, You can have everything downstairs, but don’t go into the attic.”

Because hidden in the attic are things we haven’t surrendered.

That old hurt.

That bitterness.

That secret sin.

That addiction.

That relationship God told us to release.

That anger we keep justifying.

That unforgiveness we packed into a box years ago.

That version of ourselves God has been trying to bury, but we keep climbing the stairs to visit.

We cleaned up the rooms everybody can see, but God isn’t interested only in the rooms we show people. He wants access to the whole house.

God Wants the Key to the Attic

Psalm 139:23 says, “Search me, O God.”

That’s a dangerous prayer because you’re giving God permission to open boxes.

You’re saying:

“God, go into the places I’ve avoided.”

“Open what I’ve kept closed.”

“Expose what I’ve hidden.”

“Remove anything that is keeping me from becoming who You called me to be.”

We often ask God to bring something new into our lives while refusing to make room by removing the old.

We want new peace while storing old bitterness.

We want new relationships while carrying old wounds.

We want new purpose while holding onto old habits.

We want God to fill us, but we’re already full.

And sometimes God is saying:

“I have more for you, but you haven’t made room for it.”

Some Things Aren’t Memories—They’re Chains

There are things we call memories that have actually become bo***ge.

You keep replaying what they did.

You keep remembering what they said.

You keep carrying the rejection.

You keep holding onto the failure.

You keep reminding yourself of the person you used to be.

But Scripture says:

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)

Notice what it says:

The old life is gone.

Stop storing what Jesus died to remove.

Stop keeping souvenirs from seasons God delivered you from.

Stop climbing back into the attic looking for something God told you to throw away.

You don’t need that old identity anymore.

You don’t need that old lifestyle anymore.

You don’t need that old bitterness anymore.

You don’t need that old guilt anymore.

Jesus didn’t save you so you could decorate your new life with pieces of your old bo***ge.

It’s Time to Clean House

Maybe God isn’t asking you to add anything today.

Maybe He’s asking you to remove something.

Hebrews 12:1 tells us:

“Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.”

Notice that Scripture mentions weight and sin.

That means everything slowing you down isn’t necessarily sinful—but it still might need to go.

Some relationships aren’t sinful, but they’re pulling you backward.

Some habits aren’t necessarily sinful, but they’re consuming your attention.

Some distractions aren’t evil, but they’re taking the place of God.

Some things were useful in your previous season but have no place in where God is taking you next.

You cannot keep everything and still follow Jesus everywhere.

There are moments when following Christ means opening the attic door, pulling down the boxes, and saying:

“God, if You don’t want it here, neither do I.”

Is There Room?

So ask yourself today:

What’s sitting in my attic?

What have I hidden because nobody else can see it?

What am I holding onto that God has repeatedly asked me to surrender?

What takes up space in my heart that should belong to Jesus?

Because God isn’t looking for a corner of your heart.

He wants the whole house.

Every room.

Every closet.

Every box.

Every secret.

Every wound.

Every dream.

Every relationship.

Every desire.

Every part of you.

And when Jesus starts cleaning house, don’t fight Him over the trash.

What He’s removing cannot compare to what He’s preparing.

Open the attic.

Hand Him the key.

Let Him search you.

Let Him clean you.

Let Him heal you.

And let Him finally remove what you’ve been carrying for far too long.

Because sometimes the reason we’re asking, “God, why haven’t You given me more?”

is because God is asking,

“Where would you put it?”

Prayer

Father, search our hearts today. Go into every place we’ve tried to keep hidden. Open every box we’ve refused to deal with and reveal anything that is keeping us from getting closer to You. Give us the courage to release old hurts, old habits, old sins, old relationships, and anything else taking up space that belongs to You. We don’t want to give You part of our lives—we surrender the whole house. Clean our hearts, renew our minds, heal our wounds, and make room in us for everything You desire to do. If it doesn’t belong in the life You’ve called us to live, give us the strength to let it go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
