"Prayer Changes Everything" Devotion for Today

13 September 2025 Daily Devotion: "Measuring Ministry by God's Sphere" 2 Corinthians 10:13 New Living Translation 13 We will not boast about things done outside our area of authority. We will boast only about what has happened within the boundaries of the work God has given us, which includes our working with you. Some troubles and trials come our way simply because we live in a fallen world. Certain people will stand against us when we stand firm on the truths of Scripture. Then there are the hardships that, if we're honest, we bring upon ourselves. God has assigned an area of influence to each of us. We'll find joy in faithfully tending what has been entrusted to us, whether family, finances, or a specific ministry. The easiest way to lose joy and gain stress is to begin worrying about another person's area of influence or to begin comparing areas. Solomon advised his people to “know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds” (Proverbs 27:23, emphasis added).To live joyfully, we must learn to stay in our own lane, to focus on our area of influence, and to know well the condition of our own “flocks.”

This is our Podcast Trailer for you to know that we will be providing our Daily Devotion Podcast, from our Prayer Ministry! We want you to know that, you are love by our Heavenly Father. Starting our day with the Word of God is the best way to guard our lives.  May we all be bless everyday from the Word of God! God bless everyone!

Ecclesiastes 5:20 says, "They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart." This verse invites us to ponder the fleeting nature of life and the importance of gratitude. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in our daily tasks and worries, forgetting to appreciate the blessings around us. The writer of Ecclesiastes encourages us to pause and recognize the joy and gladness that God provides. When we actively reflect on our lives, we begin to see how even small moments can be filled with God's grace. Consider setting aside time each day to reflect on your experiences, noticing the good amidst the challenges.

Yet, Paul urges us to rise above these tendencies, showing integrity and purity in our actions. By doing so, we reflect God’s light in a world that often lacks love andunderstanding. Think about the stars—how they stand out in the darkness. Similarly, we are called to be beacons of hope and goodness through our actions and attitudes.

19 October 2025 Daily Devotion: "Talkers and Doers" Proverbs 14:23 New Living Translation 23 Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty! What's the best part of your job?

The joyful reward of a day's work is not just monetary, it's, also. the inevitable molding and shaping that's happening to you as a person-changes and improvements in your character or skill set you often don't even notice. For example, even an entry-level job can teach a person a great deal about technology, leadership, problem-solving, communication, and taking responsibility. It can mold someone's character by strengthening his or her capacity for patience. It can bring a timid person out of his shell or teach anargumentative individual about the art of negotiation. If you have a friend who's also a trusted colleague, ask him or her, “Do you feel I'm a more skilled or knowledgeable person than I was the day I was hired? In what way(s)?” You just might be delighted and surprised at the answer.

16 October 2025 Daily Devotion: "Live at Peace" Romans 12:18 New Living Translation 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Forgiveness is a tricky thing, isn't it? It's also very misunderstood. Are we supposed to forgive someone who isn't sorry? What if we seek forgiveness but the person doesn't extend it to us? Attempting to live at peace with people (and Paul did say everyone!) can cause a person to lose a little joy if she doesn't focus on the entire instruction. Paul says, “Do all that you can” (emphasis added). Have you intentionally or unintentionally hurt someone? Then you need to attempt to make peace. Whether or not that person forgives you is between him and God. Has someone hurt you and you harbor ill feelings toward her? You need to forgive her (Ephesians 4:32).Whether or not that person comes to you and seeks forgiveness is between her and God. Freedom and joy come when we do all we can do to live at peace and leave the rest to God.

15 October 2025 Daily Devotion: "The Lord Reigns" 1 Chronicles 16:31 New Living Translation 31 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!”  Do you ever listen to national or world news and feel as if everything is spinning completely out of control? There's anger on the Internet, divisions within families, and war across the globe. No wonder people feel overwhelmed. A lot of the uncertainty comes when we forget that God is still in control of His creation. It doesn't matter what takes place or what disasters are predicted, God's world is firmly established and nothing can happen without His knowledge (1Chronicles 16:30). A professor once said, “Has it ever occurred to you that nothing has ever occurred to God? “Nothing scares or surprises the Lord who reigns over all. Confusion and chaos will never lead to a life of joy. Living joyfully is possible only when we remember that the Lord reigns. Whatever today, tomorrow, or next year may bring, we'll rejoice knowing that God has it all under control.
