Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your mercy that renews with each morning. You see all things and know all things, yet You call me beloved and holy. Because of Your compassion, I offer myself to You — every thought, action, and desire. Let my life be a living sacrifice of gratitude and worship. Teach me to surrender daily, trusting that You are worthy of my all. In Jesus’ name, Amen. When Paul urges believers to “offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,” he isn’t just talking about the spiritual parts of who we are — he’s calling for the surrender of everything. In our evening prayer and devotional, reflect on the fact that our physical bodies, our thoughts, emotions, words, relationships, and actions — all of it belongs to God. Robert Hampshire reminds us that the Christian life is meant to be holistic. God doesn’t just want our worship on Sundays or our prayers in quiet moments — He desires every part of our lives to reflect His mercy and grace. Anything less, as James describes, becomes “double-minded,” divided between God and the world. Paul’s phrase “living sacrifice” is striking because it implies constancy — a daily, ongoing surrender. The challenge, as one pastor put it, is that “the hardest part of a living sacrifice is that it keeps crawling off the altar.” We continually offer ourselves back to God, not as a way to earn His favor, but as a response to His mercy. Mercy means we don’t receive the judgment we deserve. Every day, we live under the covering of God’s compassion. Our response to that mercy should be gratitude — a wholehearted offering of ourselves in worship. We don’t live surrendered lives to get God’s mercy; we live surrendered lives because we already have it. When we choose this posture of worship, God sees our offering as holy and pleasing. We discover that true worship isn’t confined to music or church services — it’s lived out moment by moment, in grateful response to His mercy. TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” — Romans 12:1 (ESV) MAIN TAKEAWAYS God desires every part of us — mind, body, emotions, and actions — as an offering of worship. A “living sacrifice” means daily, consistent surrender, not a one-time act. We don’t earn God’s mercy; we respond to it with gratitude and devotion. True worship flows from a heart that recognizes the depth of God’s grace. Surrender leads to holiness, acceptance, and a deeper experience of spiritual worship. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES Romans 12:1 Lamentations 3:22–23 James 1:8

A devotional based on Saul's experience on the road to Damascus.

Heavenly Father, I confess that I’ve been running on empty, chasing productivity instead of Your peace. Forgive me for trying to do everything in my own strength. Thank You for being my Good Shepherd who gently leads me to places of rest. Help me to slow down, to trust You enough to stop striving, and to receive the restoration my soul longs for. Teach me that my worth is not in what I accomplish, but in who I am in You. May I live, lead, and love from a heart refreshed by Your presence. Thank You that rest is Your gift — not something I have to earn. I choose to receive it today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jason Bateman gets grilled by his daughter, and he tries to keep it together. The popular Hollywood actor was asked a series of tough questions by his little girl, putting him on the spot, and he struggled to come up with answers for her. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what she wanted to know and how Jason responded in the moment.

Children are undoubtedly the greatest and most precious blessing anyone can experience on this Earth. There is simply nothing that compares to being a mother or a father. Those are the single most important titles and positions that you’ll ever receive. The only thing any parent could ever hope or ask for is more time with their youngsters, because every second is precious and invaluable.

Yes, children are wonderful and add an immense amount of happiness and joy to your life. However, parenting is also the toughest thing you’ll ever do. They’ll test your patience, get on your nerves and momentarily forget how to listen to you – oh, the wonders of being a parent! However, one of the most challenging aspects of being a parent is when they ask you tough questions and demand immediate answers.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Jason explains how he found himself put in such a situation when his 11-year-old daughter started asking him straightforward but tough questions. She had things on her mind and wanted to hear the truth from her father.

“So, we’re going, we’re packed,” he said. “So, we’re in the back of the car and we’re going to the airport. It was Easter weekend – It was Easter Sunday, so this is Monday. We’re going to the airport, I said, ‘Honey, wasn’t that great? You got a lot of eggs. You did a really good job.’ She says, ‘Yeah, I did OK on the eggs, but, Daddy, bunnies don’t lay eggs, right? And I’m, like, ‘That’s true.’ The Easter Egg Bunny, not real, right?’

His daughter had sneaking suspicions that the Easter Bunny was not real and needed her dad to confirm it for her. She then moved on to the Tooth Fairy, and to put him in an even more uncomfortable, awkward position, she asked about Santa Claus. Unsure of how to respond to his daughter’s direct, rapid-fire questioning, Jason reached out to his wife for some help.

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

There are days, O Lord, when I feel so alone — when my prayers seem to echo and my faith feels faint. In those moments, remind me that You have never left. Thank You for Jesus, who experienced separation so that I never would. Help me to rest in the truth that You are with me, even when I can’t feel You near. Strengthen my faith, calm my anxious heart, and draw me close to You once again. Even in silence, help me to trust that You are speaking. Even in darkness, help me to remember that You are light. Thank You for Your unfailing presence and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, True wealth isn’t measured by money but by knowing You. Teach me godliness with contentment, and help me rest in Your love and provision. Guard my heart from chasing the false promises of riches, and remind me daily that You are my greatest treasure. Fill me with gratitude for the eternal gifts You’ve given — faith, family, salvation, and Your unfailing presence. Let my life reflect the riches of Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Dear God, As the darker months approach, help me to see Your light clearly. When my spirit feels heavy and my heart begins to ache, remind me that You are the Light of the World and that no darkness can overcome You. Shine brightly into my heart, Lord. Replace my fear and sadness with Your peace. When the days feel long and gray, help me find joy in Your presence and hope in Your promises. Thank You for being faithful in every season. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Gratitude is a practice — one that requires slowing down and intentionally noticing God’s presence in both the big and small moments of life. In our nightly prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that while we often thank God for obvious blessings — our families, jobs, or church communities — we can easily overlook the quiet, everyday gifts that reveal His goodness just as powerfully. Angie Grant shares how keeping a gratitude journal by her bedside has helped her cultivate awareness of God’s faithfulness. Each night, she recounts small but meaningful moments: her grandchildren’s laughter, a walk to the mailbox, or a sunset after a long day. These may seem simple, but they are reminders that God’s hand is always at work, painting beauty into the ordinary. James 1:17 reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from God — not just the big, life-changing blessings, but also the gentle reminders of His nearness woven into our daily routines. When we pause long enough to notice, our perspective shifts. The rush slows. Our hearts quiet. We begin to see God’s fingerprints on everything. Even in hard seasons, when reflection feels more difficult, gratitude helps us reorient our hearts. God never stops being good — even when we struggle to see it. His faithfulness is both grand and intimate, steady and personal. Slowing down to thank Him for the small, overlooked gifts keeps our hearts tender and our spirits rooted in His presence. TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” — James 1:17 MAIN TAKEAWAYS Gratitude must be practiced with intention, not reserved for the obvious blessings. Every good thing — big or small — comes from God’s generous hand. Slowing down helps us recognize how God is actively at work in our everyday lives. Gratitude realigns our focus and helps us experience peace and joy in every season. God’s faithfulness is constant; He reveals His goodness in countless daily ways. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES James 1:17 YOUR EVENING PRAYER Jesus, Thank You for all the ways You’ve been at work in my life today. Thank You for the quiet blessings — the ones I might have overlooked. Help me slow down long enough to recognize Your hand in every detail and to cherish Your goodness in both the big and small things. May gratitude fill my heart and shape my words tonight as I rest in Your unchanging faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen. THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON Where did I see God’s fingerprints today? Reflect on the moments where His presence was quietly evident. How can I slow down and be more intentional about noticing God’s goodness, even in difficult seasons? Consider starting or revisiting a gratitude journal. How might God want to use me to be part of someone else’s moment of gratitude? Look for opportunities to be a blessing in someone’s ordinary day.

Short devotional about Acts 7-8

Life and death, blessings and curses? What gives? Why would God say that to me, no, I really want to know! #toughquestionsforgod #questionsforgod #jesusquestions #questionsneedanswers

Matthew McConaughey revealed the powerful childhood lessons that shaped him. The popular Hollywood actor shared three of the most important things his parents taught him as a child. Watch the short but insightful clip to hear what Matthew learned as a youngster that has had a profound impact on his life.

Life isn't always easy or even a pleasant experience. Many times, as you probably already know, life will knock you down, and it will hurt. No one enjoys going through those situations; pain and failure aren't any fun. However, oftentimes, if we're willing to stop, look at the situation and think about how we arrived at this point, some valuable lessons can be learned in those circumstances.

Failure isn't really failure if we learn something from it and apply those hard-won lessons to the future. Not everything we learn in life will come easily, as all children know. A parent's firm and immediate punishment and correction are rarely, if ever, an enjoyable experience.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Matthew mentioned that growing up, there were three things his parents would not tolerate. He was not allowed to say, "I can't," "I hate" and lying was strictly forbidden. He provided specific examples of how his mother and father reacted when he broke those rules and failed to live up to their standards, and how these reactions have shaped his life ever since.

"If I said, 'I can't,' my dad's teeth would just start to go, 'Excuse me? You sure you're not just having trouble?'" he recalled his father saying to him.

Later in the clip, he shares a time when he told a sibling that he hated them.

"I said, 'I hate you' to my brother 'cause I heard the word at school, and I thought it could make me feel like I was older," Matthew added. "So, I threw it out there one day – at my own birthday party! My own birthday party, I said to him, 'I hate you!' And my mom, whooped, stopped the entire party. Forty kids my age in the backyard. Stopped it - my birthday. Stopped it. Pulled me around the side of the house, and says, 'What did you say? You don't ever use that word, especially to someone in your family.' "

He added that he got "licks" with a belt, and then she told him to "dry his tears," resumed the birthday party, adding again that he was never to say that word.

"Well, what I was learning is the antonyms to those words," he said. "Because saying, 'I can't,' lying and saying, 'I hate you' were bringing me pain. So, the opposite must bring pleasure, right? Tell the truth, love and believe that you can. Those were the values, how I remember them getting instilled in me and to this day, I still have them."

Proverbs 22:6 "If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it."

Fear is something every one of us faces — it’s part of being human. But for the believer, fear doesn’t have to control us. In this heartfelt daily prayer and devotional, Keneesha Saunders-Liddie reminds us that faith isn’t the absence of fear — it’s the courage to move forward in spite of it. When Keneesha found herself stranded at just 13 years old, she experienced firsthand what it meant to trust God in a moment of real danger. That night, she learned that faith doesn’t always remove fear, but it gives us the strength to act even when we’re trembling. As followers of Christ, we are called to “do it scared” — to take the next step, obey His call, and trust that the Lord who is for us will lead us safely to where we need to be. The truth of Psalm 118:6 reminds us that no person, opinion, or circumstance can stand against God’s plan for our lives. He is with us, and He is for us — and that changes everything. Today's Bible Reading: “The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” – Psalm 118:6, NLT 💡 Takeaway Truths Fear may always be present, but faith gives us strength to move forward. God is for us — no one and nothing can stand against His plans. True courage comes from trusting in God’s presence and promises. 🙏 Let’s Pray Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being my strength and my Savior. I know fear will always be near, but help me to place my faith in You above all else. Teach me to “do it scared,” trusting that You are with me every step of the way. Increase my faith, Lord — even when I don’t understand what You’re doing. Help me to remember that You are for me and will never leave me. When my heart trembles, remind me of Your steadfast love and unshakable promises. May I serve You boldly, walk in obedience, and trust Your plan completely — even when I cannot see the outcome. You are my peace and my courage. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 📖 Related Scriptures Isaiah 41:10 — “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” Joshua 1:9 — “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Romans 8:31 — “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

God, Thank You for being with us in every season, even the waiting ones. You never waste a single day, and Your purpose is always good. When we grow weary or impatient, help us remember that Your timing is perfect and Your mercy is new every morning. Strengthen our faith to believe that You are at work, even when we can’t see it. Remind our hearts to trust You fully and rest in Your goodness. Amen.

Devotional about Acts 4-6

All things that work for good? Are you kidding me! Have you seen my life lately? That’s so unbelievable … or … is it …? #toughquestionsforgod #questionsforgod #jesusquestions #questionsneedanswers

One woman’s thoughtful surprise at a Detroit Lions game won hearts. Her sweet and unexpected gesture brought a smile to the young man’s face. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the move that will also bring a smile to your face.

Kindness and gentleness are in short supply today. Too many people are only concerned with themselves and give little to no thought to the needs of others. Caring and thinking about someone else takes too much time and effort. What I want takes precedent and is of the utmost importance, as is the thinking of most people in the world today.

But what would happen if we thought of others more? What would happen if we showed a little more kindness and extended more grace and patience to others? What would our world look like? That couldn’t possibly make it worse. Perhaps, give this a try and see what happens.

A clip posted on social media shows how one woman did exactly this while at a Lions football game. Her caption on Instagram explains the situation that led up to her generous gift.

“At the Detroit vs Buccaneers game, this kid walked in through our row in a Pistons jersey,” she writes. “We all joked around in a fun way about him being at the wrong game, with us all laughing including him. He then said he didn’t have a Lions jersey so he wore that one.”

After learning who the young man’s favorite player was, she mentioned to her husband that they “have to go buy him a jersey.”

The video captures the woman leaning over and handing the Lions shirt to the young man in the Pistons jersey. When he realizes what it is, a massive smile comes over his face. Her unexpected gift made his entire day. At that point, it didn’t matter if the Lions won or lost to him.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Every morning and evening, the earth sings of God’s glory. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, the world is overflowing with beauty — mountains that reach toward heaven, oceans that echo His vastness, and people whose diversity reflects His creativity. Yet amid our busyness, we often overlook these wonders and miss the awe that leads us to worship. In this uplifting reflection, Whitney Hopler reminds us that awe isn’t reserved for mountaintops or faraway destinations — it’s woven into the everyday fabric of our lives. Whether we’re standing beneath a star-filled sky, walking through a quiet forest, or tasting a meal that celebrates another culture, each moment of wonder is an invitation to encounter God. Awe is not just an emotion; it’s a spiritual posture. When we open our eyes to God’s creation — both in nature and in people — our worries grow smaller, our gratitude deepens, and our hearts naturally overflow with joy. Today, slow down and look around. You’ll find that the whole world is whispering of God’s majesty. Today's Bible Reading: “The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.” – Psalm 65:8, NIV 💡 Takeaway Truths Awe is a sacred response to the beauty and power of God’s creation. Every culture, landscape, and moment of beauty reflects God’s creativity. Experiencing awe expands our perspective and naturally leads to worship. 🙏 Let’s Pray Dear God, Your Word says the whole earth is filled with awe at Your wonders. Forgive me for rushing through my days and missing the beauty You’ve placed all around me. Wake me up to Your glory in creation — in the skies, the seas, and in the people You’ve made. Renew my sense of wonder. Whether I travel far or stay close to home, help me see Your fingerprints in everything. Let every moment of awe turn into a song of joy and praise in my heart. You are worthy of all my worship, from morning to evening, in every corner of the world. Thank You for Your breathtaking creation and the joy of knowing You. Amen. 📖 Related Scriptures Psalm 19:1 — “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Romans 1:20 — “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities… have been clearly seen.” Isaiah 6:3 — “The whole earth is full of his glory.”
