The devil flees targets that are immovable. The greatest attack-back strategy against the enemy – is to stand on the solid rock of Jesus Christ. As we love Christ and His people, God will take care of everything else. We can trust God. - Kelly Balarie

A Prayer to Push Back Enemy Attacks

Awe has a way of fading when life gets crowded. Deadlines, responsibilities, and endless distractions can dull our awareness of the beauty that surrounds us every day. This devotional invites us to return to wonder—through the kind of attentive noticing that poetry captures so well. Poetry helps us slow down, see more deeply, and reconnect with meaning. And in a similar way, creation can become a doorway back into worship when our hearts feel tired or uninspired.

The devotional points to the psalms as a reminder that awe is not a modern idea—it’s part of a long, sacred practice. David, a poet himself, looked at the world around him and responded with gratitude and praise. Psalm 65 celebrates God’s provision and the beauty of nature from morning to evening. It’s a picture of a life that recognizes God’s hand in what’s growing, blooming, changing, and sustaining.

Today’s encouragement is practical and gentle: if you feel stuck, underwhelmed, or overworked, plan a pause in nature. Take a walk. Study a single detail—a leaf, a shell, a butterfly, a creek—and let your senses wake up again to the reality that God is present and creative. Creation becomes a reminder that the Lord is still at work in ways we can’t always see, weaving fragile miracles into ordinary moments. Making space to be awestruck can cleanse the spirit, lift the heart, and restore faith—because awe reminds us that God is bigger than our burdens and more tender than we sometimes remember.

Main Takeaways


Awe can fade when life feels busy, heavy, or distracting—but it can be rekindled.


Creation points us to God’s power, provision, and gentleness.


The psalms model a life of noticing and responding with gratitude and worship.


A simple pause in nature can restore perspective and renew faith.


Paying attention to small details can become a spiritual practice of seeing God’s handiwork.

Today’s Bible Verse:
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

A Prayer to Rekindle Your Sense of Awe

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/cfa8fdb7-700e-402c-934e-b3d100e422e0/transcript

Our world is filled with constant distractions, and technology has made it easier than ever to stay busy without being truly present. We can scroll, text, post, and reply all day long—often without ever having a real conversation. This devotional points out something many of us feel but don’t always admit: when we lose the art of meaningful communication with people, it can also weaken our communication with God. And when prayer becomes occasional instead of continual, our spiritual life can start to feel like it’s running on fumes.

The encouraging truth in today’s devotional is that prayer isn’t meant to be limited to a quiet room or reserved for a specific time of day. Prayer is meant to be constant connection—moment-by-moment conversation with our Heavenly Father. Because of Jesus, we have direct access to God. We don’t have to wonder if we’re allowed to approach Him or if He wants to hear from us. He does. Prayer is personal because relationship is personal. God doesn’t want our attention only when we’re desperate; He invites us to come to Him in everything—our burdens, joys, fears, needs, and even the mundane moments of the day.

Paul’s instruction to “pray without ceasing” isn’t a call to withdraw from daily responsibilities, but to stay connected to the Lord while living them out. It’s choosing to lift your gaze and voice to Him throughout your day, abiding in Him like a branch connected to the vine. When distractions crowd in, continual prayer helps re-center our hearts and anchor us in joy, gratitude, and dependence on God. Today’s devotional encourages us to repent of what competes for our attention and ask God to help us build prayer into every part of life—so that communion with Him becomes less of a routine and more of a lifeline.

Main Takeaways


Technology can connect us to people while distracting us from real relationships—including our relationship with God.


Prayer is meant to be continual communication, not occasional emergency outreach.


Because of Jesus, we have direct access to God as our Father.


“Pray without ceasing” means staying connected to God throughout daily life, not withdrawing from responsibilities.


When distractions pull at our attention, prayer helps us return to joy, gratitude, and dependence on the Lord.

Today’s Bible Verse: 

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, ESV).

Your Daily Prayer

Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer:

“Help me by Your grace and the power of the Spirit to remember to keep prayer a daily, moment-by-moment, lifeline to my Heavenly Father.”

A Prayer for Help to Pray Without Ceasing

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/c176f9b6-e15b-468e-8fe9-b3cc00e8bea6/transcript

It’s easy to measure our worth by what we accomplish—or what we fail to accomplish. Many of us go to bed replaying the day’s shortcomings: missed goals, broken habits, forgotten disciplines, and moments where we didn’t live up to who we want to be. Even when we know our identity isn’t supposed to rest on productivity, performance, or spiritual “checklists,” repeated failure can leave us feeling weary, discouraged, and stuck. Over time, those feelings can become fertile ground for lies—whispers that God is disappointed, that we’re not enough, or that we’re failing as believers.

This devotional points us back to a powerful reminder: God’s story has always included people with broken pasts and imperfect lives. Rahab’s story is a striking example. Scripture doesn’t erase her past, yet it also doesn’t let her past define her future. She could have believed she was unqualified or unworthy to be part of God’s plan, but faith gave her courage to act. And through her obedience, God not only saved her and her family, but also placed her into the legacy of redemption—ultimately leading to the line of David and even Jesus.

The devotional reminds us that living in truth requires daily commitment. There is spiritual warfare that targets our identity and aims to wear us down with shame and discouragement. That’s why we need to actively anchor ourselves in God’s Word—praying, reading, memorizing, and speaking truth over ourselves when lies try to take root. Your value is not based on what you did today, how you performed, or how perfectly you kept a plan. Your worth is rooted in Christ alone—His finished work on the cross, His love for you, and His purpose for your life. You are loved, you have meaning, and God is still writing His story through you.

Main Takeaways


It’s easy to tie identity to performance, but our worth is found in Christ alone.


Repeated failure can make us vulnerable to lies, shame, and spiritual discouragement.


Rahab’s story shows that God uses imperfect people and redeems broken pasts.


Spiritual warfare often targets identity, so we must actively fight with God’s Word.


Your value is rooted in who you belong to—not in what you accomplish.

Today’s Bible Verse: Joshua 2:1

“Please help us to fully embrace the truth that our worth is not based on what we do, but on who we belong to.”
