Pastor Bruce Page - Prayers & Encouragement

06/11/2026

I just wrote to a young girl in India who needs our prayers. To protect her privacy, I am not sharing her name.
Please pray with me for her. She wrote:

"Hello dear people of god , I need a help , please pray for me for i cannot concentrate on my studies as well as my life, I'm unable to sleep at night , lost my appetite, and feeling so hopeless, I don't have energy to do somthing, Even the things that makes me happy, they're not important to me at all now , I'm feeling so low and i feel like dying , I have so much to say but i don't know how to say .I don't even know wat i wanna say I feel so lost, please help me"

Please join me in praying that God would surround this young woman with His love, peace, and hope. Pray that she would find strength for each day, that the darkness she is experiencing would lift, and that she would know she is not alone.

Pray also that the Lord would place caring people in her life who can walk alongside her and help her through this difficult season.
Thank you for taking a moment to pray for her today. ( I withheld her name for privacy)

What if the greatest promise God gives us isn’t a solution to our problems, but His presence in the middle of them?

There have been times in my life when the road ahead seemed uncertain and overwhelming. Times when I didn’t know what the future held, how things would work out, or even what the next step should be. In those moments, I wanted answers, solutions, and a clear plan.

But what God gave me was a “special” nearness of His presence. He walked beside me.

As I was reading Joshua 1 this morning, I was struck by God’s words to Joshua. Moses was gone. An entire nation was looking to him for leadership. The Promised Land lay ahead, along with obstacles, battles, and uncertainty.

God’s answer was not a detailed strategy. Instead, He gave Joshua a promise:

“Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

While this promise was given specifically to Joshua, it reminds us of a truth that carries throughout Scripture: God does not abandon His people.

The same God who walked with Joshua walks with us today.

When you don’t know what tomorrow holds, be strong and courageous. When the path ahead seems unclear, be strong and courageous. When life feels heavy and overwhelming, remember that you do not walk alone.

One of the greatest comforts in the Christian life is knowing that God’s presence goes with us through every season, every challenge, and every uncertainty.

“I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

Whatever you are facing today, take courage. The God who was with Joshua is still faithful today.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your salvation depended on your ability to never stumble, never doubt, and never fail?

If that were true, none of us would have much hope.

That is why 1 Corinthians 1:8 is such an encouraging promise:

“He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.”

Notice that Paul doesn’t say we keep ourselves strong. He says He will keep us strong.

There are days when our faith feels weak, our prayers seem inadequate, and our strength runs low. Yet our hope has never rested in our ability to hold on to God. Our hope rests in God’s ability to hold on to us.

The same Savior who called you is the Savior who sustains you. The same grace that saved you is the grace that will carry you through every trial and every season until the day you stand before Him.

Take courage today. God’s grip on your life is stronger than your grip on Him.

What a wonderful reminder that our security is not found in our performance, but in God’s faithfulness. We may stumble, struggle, and sometimes even doubt, but the God who began a good work in us is faithful to complete it. Our confidence is not in how tightly we hold on to Him, but in how faithfully He holds on to us.

I’ve been reading through Deuteronomy for my devotions, a book that can sometimes be hard to get through. But at the end of the book, I came across this verse, this promise from God.

Like many of you, there have been times in my life when I needed a refuge—a place to run in the middle of life’s storms. But not just a place to hide. I needed Someone who would meet me at my weakest point, hold me up when I had no strength left, and remind me that I was not facing the battle alone.

As Moses came to the end of his life, he left Israel with a powerful reminder: their hope was not in a leader, an army, or even the Promised Land. Their hope was in God.

I think many of us can relate. There are seasons when we feel uncertain, tired, discouraged, or overwhelmed by the challenges ahead. We may wonder if we have the strength to keep going.

But this verse reminds us that God is not only our refuge when the storms come—His everlasting arms are underneath us, holding us up when we feel weak.

The older I get, the more I appreciate this truth. Life changes. Health changes. Circumstances change. But God remains faithful. When we don’t feel strong enough, His strength is enough. When we stumble, His arms are still there.

Today, take a moment to thank God for carrying you through the valleys, the disappointments, and the seasons you never thought you would survive. The same God who has brought you this far will continue to lead you forward.

Rest in His care today. You are not carrying life alone. His everlasting arms are beneath you.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13

There have been times in my life when I have felt much like Peter and the other disciples. They had doubts, fears, questions, and many misunderstandings about what God was doing. Yet when Jesus asked, “Are you going to leave too?” Peter gave a remarkable answer:

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

I have been there. I have felt that way. There have been moments when I didn’t understand God’s plan, when circumstances were confusing, and when faith felt difficult. But like Peter, I keep coming back to the same conclusion: where else can I go? Jesus alone has the words of eternal life.

Today, if you are struggling with doubts, fears, or unanswered questions, remember that faith is not having all the answers. Faith is continuing to trust the One who does.

May the God of hope fill your heart with joy, peace, and an overflowing hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Bruce Page - Because We Must -

There are moments in ministry that are very visible…and others that happen quietly, almost unnoticed. Lately, much of my ministry has consisted of conversations that take place through a computer screen–encouraging someone who feels hopeless, praying with a person carrying deep pain, or helping ...

No matter how far someone has wandered… God has not abandoned them.

“But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for Him with all your heart and soul, you will find Him.” — Deuteronomy 4:29

Sometimes people drift because of pain, disappointment, sin, weariness, or simply the slow distractions of life. Yet God’s heart is always calling people home.

Deuteronomy 4:30 reminds us that in distress, when we turn back to Him and listen to His voice, He receives us.

Jesus painted this picture beautifully in the story of the prodigal son in The Gospel of Luke. After wasting everything and walking far from his father, the son finally decided to return home. He expected rejection, shame, and punishment. Instead, while he was still a long way off, his father saw him, ran to him, embraced him, and welcomed him home with joy.

That is the heart of God.

Jesus also said, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Home with the Lord is not a place of condemnation for the repentant heart. It is a place of rest, peace, mercy, forgiveness, and love.

If your heart feels far from God today, take courage. You are not beyond His reach. Search for Him with all your heart… and you will find Him waiting with open arms.

Come on home!

Just a reminder for someone who may need this today:

You do not have to carry tomorrow all at once. Sometimes life feels heavy. Questions about the future, family struggles, health concerns, financial pressure, disappointment, loneliness—it can all pile up quietly on the heart.

But God has not asked you to figure out your whole future today. He simply asks you to trust Him with the next step.
The same God who carried you through yesterday is still faithful today.

If your heart is tired, pause for a moment and breathe this prayer:
“Lord, give me strength for today and peace for what I cannot control.”

You are not forgotten.
You are not abandoned.
And this season will not last forever.

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

Praying for you, Pastor Bruce

Nobody likes to wait—especially when your in pain!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” – Psalm 27:14

If we’re honest… that’s not easy.

When life gets hard…
when pain shows up…
when answers don’t come…

We want God to move now.

And that’s understandable.

But David—who knew fear, pressure, and uncertainty—says something that feels almost impossible in those moments:

Wait.

Not just wait…
but be brave and courageous while you wait.

And then he says it again:
Wait patiently for the Lord. Why? Because delays are not the same as denial. Almost always, when God seems slow, He has a reason.

The hard part? We don’t always get to know that reason right away. So faith, in those moments, looks like this:

* trusting when we don’t understand
* standing when we feel weak
* waiting… even when everything in us wants to rush ahead

If you’re in a waiting season today, you’re not alone.

Stay steady.
Stay courageous.
God hasn’t forgotten you.

He’s working—even in the waiting.

“I don’t ever want to do that again….but I keep doing it!”

It’s easy to look from the outside and think it’s just about willpower. But the Bible describes something deeper—a battle happening inside a person.

“I do not do the good I want to do… but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” (Romans 7:19)

That’s not weakness. That’s a war.

Many people trapped in addiction aren’t proud of it… they’re fighting it. Quietly. Repeatedly. Painfully.

Before we judge someone’s struggle, it might help to understand what they’re up against.

Have you ever felt that kind of inner battle in your own life? Jesus gives us hope!
