Mattheüs 9:29

We cannot live for yesterday, as it has already occurred. We cannot live for the future, because it is not here yet. The only moment in time we have is right now. We only have today. We need to change our perspective and think in terms of, “What can I do today?”. If we can change today, we can change our entire life.

In times of uncertainty, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. The news, social media, and the people around us can make us feel anxious or worried when impacting events happen. In times when it doesn’t seem like we have any control over things, we can find a place of comfort and peace in God’s Word.

There are some names in the Bible that everyone knows: Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Mary, Peter, Paul. But the Bible is also full of stories with unnamed characters. People who made a difference not in the spotlight, but in the shadows. We often think they and we are insignificant if the spotlight is not on. But here's the good news: God chooses and uses shadow Christians.

We often encounter life’s challenges while ignoring one of the most powerful tools that we've been given—prayer. Prayer is the bedrock of any thriving Christian’s life. It is easily one of the most transformative habits that we can adopt. Without it, we settle for what the world offers, not securing the best of God's promises. Join Pastor John F. Hannah for a 5-day devotional highlighting the importance prayer.
