Amen.

🙏🏾 God of the rainbow,

Thank You for Pride Month and for the beautiful diversity of humanity.

Bless LGBTQIA+ siblings everywhere, reminding them they are loved, worthy, and never outside Your embrace.

As an ally, strengthen me to choose compassion over fear, justice over silence, and love that speaks, listens, and stands alongside others.

Give me courage to use my voice for dignity and inclusion, and humility to keep learning
and showing up well.

May we help build a world where everyone can live safely, openly, and with dignity, and where belonging is shared by all. Amen

The way we treat people often speaks louder than the words we say.It's easy to be kind when life is going well. It's easy to be gracious when everyone agrees with us. But Christ calls us to something deeper. To notice the overlooked. To serve without recognition. To offer compassion when it's inconvenient. To love people not because they deserve it, but because He first loved us.

Our faith was never meant to stay inside church walls. It was meant to be carried into our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and everyday conversations. Sometimes the most powerful testimony isn't found in what we say about Jesus. It's found in how we reflect Him. If you'd like more encouragement like this throughout the week, we'd love for you to join our free weekly devotional and explore our worship playlists created to help you slow down, spend time with God, and live out your faith in everyday life. Everything is linked in our bio.

“…for You are with me…"

THE ROAD AHEAD
by Thomas Merton

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think that I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does, in fact, please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this,
you will lead me by the right road
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
