MMWA: Monday Moments with Allie

05/10/2026

“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer, want, and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” (Psalm 34: 4-10)

Lord, we seek you in my moments of fear and relinquish our worries to you. You are near to the brokenhearted, the crushed in spirit, the overwhelmed and anxious. You are our strong tower against the enemy! We will not be shaken.

💛🙌🏼💛

Special prayer request today.

Lord you see our hearts, feel our worries, and walk along side us during our trials. I pray you stay near to those who need healing, strength, and comfort. I pray you take away their pain and provide peace during this difficult season. 😣💛

I didn’t post yesterday because I was “resting”… although it felt more like being lazy and ignoring tasks that are necessary to complete. Towards the end of the day I found myself flustered because I didn’t actually allow myself to “rest”. All of the tasks I need to do to prepare for the summer semester were whirling in my mind. It’s my week off, technically, as our semesters transition from spring to summer. I’m teaching classes I haven’t taught since last summer and using somewhat new materials as our basis. I’m trying to be super prepared going into the semester for when we receive a placement and to allow a smoother transition in both home and work. So, I’m balancing a new season of coursework and a potentially new season of life in general! What a blessing it is to experience either of these… yet I am struggling to find peace in (what are supposed to be) restful moments, because I can’t turn my mind off. 😣

So what does the Lord say about this? In Matthew (11:28) it states, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". This verse is an invitation from Jesus to find spiritual, emotional, and physical relief by exchanging the exhausting burdens of life for peace through HIM. It suggests that by turning to the Lord with our overwhelming struggles that in turn He will give soul-satisfying rest and comfort. ✝️

Today I challenge you; when you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like your brain just won’t stop thinking my about that to-do list… turn to Jesus and his word for mindful rest. Take your burdens to Him through prayer and your soul will find peace in ways only He can provide.📖

{Lord, I pray you ease our minds today and allow us to turn to you in moments of overwhelm, anxiety, frustration, and restlessness. Help us see that you are there, along side us, offering peace and comfort, as the world around us moves in ways that produce discomfort and an unsettled soul. I Jesus name, AMEN.} 🙏

If you have any specific prayer requests this week please DM me. 🩵🩵🩵🩵

Question of the day: What are 5 things that make you happy? For me, it’s simple…

1️⃣ Unshakable, a Devotional by Christine Caine.
2️⃣ Unlimited Nespresso Pods.
3️⃣ A cool thrifty find at the Goodwill.
4️⃣ A book with a jaw dropping twist.
5️⃣ Friends you can just “be yourself” around.

What about you?

When worldly frustrations try to deter and tempt me I try to remind myself that if God brought me this far He will undoubtedly continue to carry me.

This mornings devotion felt like a gut punch! “Every time I look back on how my life has unfolded, I see God’s grace, redemption, and protection.” - Christine Caine.

When troubles come our way, remind yourself that HE who was faithful before will be faithful today and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8).

You aren’t alone when troubles come. As a Christian God knows the enemy will aim his fire at us continuously. Remembering God’s faithfulness through those difficult seasons and moments will help you stand on his truth and affirm his presence in your life!

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up.” (Galatians 6:9)

Today I am sick, frustrated, hurt, weary of the future, and trying my hardest to keep my head up despite zero hours of sleep. Even in the midst of these feelings, I see God’s hand at work and I feel his intention. 🩵🩵🩵

My encouragement for you all is to reflect on the difficult moments you’ve experienced in your life. How did you see God’s presence in those moments and how can you continue to seek his presence when you’re feeling spread thin?

This weeks Monday Moments will have to wait, as today has been all over the place. 🥴

Spending my night in devotion and talking about the Lord’s good works with my husband. What about you? 🙌🏼
