“When your plans crumble, trust Him—His higher way carries peace your expectations never could.”

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
JOHN 11:43 KJV

PRAYER
Thank You God that the story of Lazarus serves as a reminder that death has no power over my soul. Through the life of Jesus, continually displays for me the fact that he can conquer anything including the Goliath of death. Therefore, I will not be afraid to live my life to the fullest, because I know that I will not die but I will simply transition to my heavenly home when my time comes. I declare that I will not live with regret or remorse but instead I will maximize every opportunity that I'm given, I will love with an intense and compassionate heart and I will live out the purpose and plans that You have for me Lord. In the same way, Jesus, that You called forth Lazarus from the tomb, I now call forth from the tombs in my life the dreams and visions that have died because of fear and doubt! I thank You Lord that as I place them in Your hands You will breathe new life and new strategy into every dream and vision You’ve given me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

BIBLE IN A YEAR: THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY
Have you ever prayed with a clear picture of how things should turn out, only to watch it unfold in a totally different way? Disappointment can sting, especially when you thought God was about to fix it fast and in the way you imagined. When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowd shouted “hosanna” and welcomed Him like a king (John 12:13). Yet He chose a donkey, fulfilling the quiet promise of Zechariah 9:9, because His mission was not to grab a throne but to carry a cross. No wonder His ways can feel confusing. As Isaiah 55:8 reminds us, His thoughts are higher than ours. If your expectations have been overturned, you are not alone. Jesus is still near, still good, and still faithful even when the path looks different than you hoped. Today, you can offer Him your trust and your best, like Mary did, and let Him reshape your heart with His steady peace.

“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”
PSALM 37:5

DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 37
Commit' literally means 'roll'—like rolling a boulder too heavy to carry. 'Thy way' encompasses direction, decisions, and destiny. The sequence matters: commit leads to trust leads to divine action. 'He shall bring it to pass' promises God's intervention. Not helping you achieve but achieving for you. When ways are committed and trust is active, God acts. The burden roller becomes the blessed receiver. God specializes in bringing committed ways to completion.

A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Faithful God, You complete what is committed to You. You turn trust into triumph. I worship You, divine Accomplisher. CONFESSION: I confess trying to carry what I should commit. THANKSGIVING: Thank You for bringing committed ways to pass. SUPPLICATION: I commit my way to You today—bring Your will to pass.

PRAYER
Ascribe to The Lord the glory due to his name. Worship The Lord in holy array.
PSALM 29:2 KJV
Dear Lord, tonight I am in awe of Your creation. All nature answers to Your voice. All the hosts of heaven proclaim Your glory in an endless song of praise. There is no one like You. It is an astonishing thing to consider how much You love me. As I rest after a long day tonight, I want to settle peacefully into the same praise of creation. Though I am weak and my soul wanders from the truth, You have seen it fit to love me anyways. Just as You sit atop a throne of everlasting light, I pray You would sit upon the throne of my life. Direct the convictions of my heart like You direct the course of the winds. Build the foundation of my life like You established the mountains on high. I want my life to be in tandem with nature - ever praising Your holy name! Amen.

Good morning everyone. This is Lori. We are still without power and it’s getting difficult to keep my devices charged. I’ll continue to post daily as I can. We are ok, but I may not be able to make posts every day like I usually do. Praying for all of you while we recover from the storm damage.

“When hope feels buried, He meets your tears and speaks resurrection over His unhurried timing.”

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
LUKE 15:32 KJV

PRAYER
Lord, Your grace and Your forgiveness never ceases to amaze me and no other story displays this more than the one that You shared about the prodigal son in Matthew 18:12–14. Through the reading of this text I am mesmerized by how even with the foolish decisions that were made, the Father never left his position of searching. May this bring comfort to my soul in knowing that no matter what mistakes I make that You are always searching for me. When I feel that I have blown and squandered my inheritance I praise You because You have more in store for me as I come to You with a humble and broken heart. When others seek to keep me in the pig pen of life, I praise You that You will clothe me with honor, You’ll restore power back to me through Your ring of authority, and You will seat me at the table of greatness again. All that You have is mine so I will make sure not to be jealous when I see others get restored back to their place of opulence and abundance, because what is Yours Father is also mine, because I too am a child of God. I was lost but through Your love Jesus I am found! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

BIBLE IN A YEAR: LAZARUS
Have you ever watched a problem drag on so long that hope started to feel naive? When answers delay, it can seem like God is silent, and the “dead” parts of your life are staying that way. In John 11, Mary and Martha waited while Lazarus died, and Jesus still showed up. He did not rush past their grief—John 11:35 says, “Jesus wept,” and that tenderness matters when you are hurting. Then He spoke steady truth: “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25), even before the miracle came. If you are standing at your own tomb of disappointment, you are not alone. Jesus meets you in the tears and in the waiting, and His timing is never careless. Today, you can whisper your honest fears to Him and ask for new life where you feel stuck.

10/12/2026

Good morning everyone. This is Lori. Hope you are all doing well. We do not have power but no significant damage so all is well. Just wanted to see if everyone is doing alright and if anyone needed help getting supplies. I’ve been out and about and supplies are easy to get. If anyone is blocked in or needs assistance getting supplies, let me know and I can try and get stuff to you. Praying for all.

“Peace isn’t an escape

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
HEBREWS 11:6 KJV

PRAYER
My good works are not enough to please you, Lord. My belief in your reality is what you are looking for in me. You created me for an intimate love relationship with you. You desire to fellowship with me and have honest communion with me. As I diligently seek you in your word and through prayer, you will reveal yourself to me. Out of the overflow of my love for you, good works with naturally spring forth. They will be born from my faith in you and not the pride of my flesh. What is born of the spirit of love has eternal value. Amen.

BIBLE IN A YEAR: LEPERS, JUDGES, AND PRIDE
Do you ever feel like your days are under siege—pressure piling up, noise in your head, and a tiredness that feels spiritual? When that happens, peace can seem like something you have to escape to, not something you can carry. Isaiah 26:3 says God keeps in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed on Him. That does not mean you pretend the battle is not real. It means you keep returning your thoughts to His rule and His care. And in Ephesians 6:11, Paul reminds us to put on the whole armor of God, because peace and protection often go together. Today, before you face what is hard, take a minute to worship and breathe. Whisper, “You are my peace, and You are my protection.” Your storm may be loud, but He is steady, and His presence will hold you.
