Matthew 6:25-34 Devotional
I remember holding my son’s hand while walking across a busy street. He didn’t worry about the cars or the noise; he trusted me completely to guide him safely. In the same way, we are called to trust our Heavenly Father, who cares for us far beyond our understanding. If we are honest, many times in our lives, we have faltered in our trust in God. I am reminded of Proverbs 3:5, which says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." This verse encourages believers to place their full faith in God's wisdom and guidance rather than relying solely on their reasoning or judgment. Click Read More to continue,
Matthew 9:1-7 Devotional
Imagine a home filled with people, a crowd so thick that movement is nearly impossible. Amid this gathering, four friends arrive, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher. Their determination is unshaken—they’ve heard about Jesus, they believe in His power, and nothing will stop them from bringing their friend to Him.

Then, Jesus speaks. "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven." Click Read More to continue.

Matthew 8:1-4 Devotional
Imagine walking through a busy town square. You see many people, but when you try to approach them, they step back. Shopkeepers shoo you away, children are pulled back by their parents, and you hear whispers as you pass. You feel a deep sense of loneliness because of a condition that makes others see you as different. You long for healing, but even more for acceptance and a chance to connect with others. This was the daily life of a man with leprosy in ancient Israel. His illness was not just a skin problem; it meant he was cast out from society and cut off from community and connection.

Matthew 6:5-15 Devotional
Once, a five-year-old boy announced to his parents that he never wanted to pray again. When his mother probed the boy's unbelief, she received this simple explanation: “I prayed and prayed, and prayed for a new puppy dog, and all I got was a new baby brother." Well, prayer does have its problems. We ask for guidance, and all we hear is silence. We get what we want and wind up not wanting what we get. We don't always find it easy to thank God for unanswered prayers. Prayer is a mystery, yet over 80% of Americans pray, and over half of Americans pray daily. Click Read More to continue,
