A Prayer for Doctors and Nurses

Most of us know the sting of being picked last—whether it was on a playground team, in a social group, or even in life itself. It can leave you feeling overlooked, unworthy, or like you’re always trailing behind while others seem to move forward with ease. This devotional speaks directly to that ache and the grief that comes when healing, growth, or breakthrough feels delayed.

The author reflects on childhood experiences of being physically overlooked, then connects that feeling to something deeper: the pain of silently struggling for years without understanding what was happening internally. When healing finally came later in life, it felt unfair—like time had been stolen and God had somehow skipped over them.

But Scripture reminds us that God’s timing and positioning are never accidental. In Numbers 10, the tribe of Dan marched last—not because they were less important, but because they were assigned a crucial role. They served as the rear guard, protecting the rest of Israel from attacks that could come from behind. Their “last place” was actually a place of purpose, strength, and responsibility.

Sometimes we assume being last means we are forgotten, when in reality, God may be placing us where we can protect, serve, or strengthen others in ways we don’t yet understand. The world equates being chosen last with being less valuable, but God’s kingdom turns that thinking upside down. God sees every season, every delay, and every hardship—and He never wastes any part of your story.

Main Takeaways


Being “picked last” can feel painful, but it doesn’t mean you are forgotten by God.


God’s timing often feels delayed, but His plan is always intentional.


The tribe of Dan went last for a purpose: to protect and guard others.


Your position in life may be preparation for a calling you can’t yet see.


God often assigns deep spiritual strength to those who have endured long seasons of struggle.

Today’s Bible Verse

“Dan’s troops went last, marching behind their banner and serving as the rear guard for all the tribal camps...” Numbers 10:25 (NLT)

A Prayer When You're Picked Last

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/b329669e-d803-4ebd-9e01-b3e900e12302/transcript

Being a missionary isn’t limited to crossing oceans or serving in distant countries. Jesus calls every believer to live on mission right where they are—at home, at work, and in everyday conversations. Sharing the gospel often happens in simple, ordinary moments when we’re willing to see people through God’s eyes.

This devotional points us to the Samaritan woman whose life was transformed after meeting Jesus. Once she experienced His grace, she couldn’t keep it to herself. Her testimony became the bridge God used to draw an entire village to Christ. In the same way, our personal stories of God’s work in our lives can be powerful tools for sharing hope.

God doesn’t call everyone to plant churches or travel abroad, but He does call each of us to be faithful witnesses. Some plant seeds, some water, and some reap—but all play a vital role in God’s mission. When we rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom, courage, and timing, we can live as missionaries every single day.

Main Takeaways


Every believer is called to live on mission, not just those who travel overseas.


Your testimony is one of the most powerful ways to share the gospel.


God uses everyday relationships to draw people to Himself.


Faithful obedience—planting, watering, or reaping—matters in God’s kingdom.


The Holy Spirit equips us to know when to speak and how to respond with love.

Today’s Bible Verse

Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!” (John 4:39 NLT)

Your Daily Prayer

Here is a short excerpt from today’s prayer:

“Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord, that I would boldly share the good news with those who need hope.”

A Prayer to Be a Missionary Every Day

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/5c3a5b90-d2f0-4d58-8ecc-b3e800e3d0b9/transcript

Life seasons change quietly and sometimes painfully. Moments that once felt full and familiar can suddenly feel distant, uncertain, or bittersweet. Whether it’s a child leaving home, a shift in relationships, or a new stage you didn’t expect, these transitions can stir gratitude and grief at the same time.

This devotional reminds us that God’s grace meets us fully in every season—especially the ones marked by letting go. Feeling sadness, fear, or uncertainty is not a failure of faith. God does not condemn us for struggling with change; instead, His compassion draws near. His grace assures us that what feels like an ending is not the end of joy.

Scripture promises that God is able to make all grace abound. That grace supplies what we need, sustains us when emotions fluctuate, and carries us forward into what He is still unfolding. While the season may look different than before, God’s goodness has not diminished. His grace remains generous, patient, and abundant—covering the past, present, and every step ahead.

Main Takeaways


Life transitions can hold both gratitude and grief at the same time.


God does not condemn us for struggling with change—His grace meets us there.


God’s grace supplies what we need in every season.


New seasons do not mean less joy; they often prepare us for deeper joy in Him.


Trusting God’s grace allows us to move forward with peace and hope.
