Deep Roots, Steady FaithSample

It’s possible to make it look like everything’s working and still be disconnected. You can show up, go through the motions, and still feel spiritually empty—like a phone stuck in airplane mode, functioning but not really connected.

Jesus doesn’t call us to do more. He invites us to remain in him.

And this “remaining” isn’t glamorous. It’s still, quiet, and patient in a world that demands high pace, high impact, and high productivity.

If your soul feels like it’s running on 1%, stop trying to swipe your way into peace. Slow down and plug back into the source. The fruit you want in your life—joy, patience, purpose—doesn’t come from hustle. It grows out of being rooted.

Jesus isn’t asking for your effort. He’s offering his presence.

Pray: God, I don’t want to just look connected—I want to actually remain in you. Teach me to stay close and stop chasing the next thing. Be enough for me today.
