Allow God to speak to you. Have a real authentic relationship with God. Don't just have a Sunday God(church only) you need more spiritual guidance food than 1 day. (Rebroadcast)

It can be easy to live in your little world and not think of what other people think or say. Today, Pastor Ricky says we have hope because God was merciful to King Nebuchadnezzar, even though he was prideful. God is trying to show you something new within your own life. He wants to work through your heart and use you to show others just how great He is. You must run to Jesus daily. He alone will humble you and bring you to a place of dependence on Him. Allow God to work through you today.

Suspicion that is unresolved can damage a relationship in many ways.  Allow God to direct your benavior and help you discover truth.  He is the only one who can do that in your life.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's special Easter Sunday episode, Heather guides us through day 110 of our journey in the scriptures, reminding us of the hope and joy found in the resurrection—He is risen indeed! Together with listeners from around the world, we dive into First Samuel 23, Psalm 31, Psalm 54, and Matthew 7, seeking to see Jesus as the true source of life. Heather offers thoughtful reflection on what it means to live out the gospel, emphasizing that Christ's transforming love is a gift we receive, not something we earn. As we pray and meditate on God's word, we're encouraged to trust our good Father, live with love and courage, and let the joy of the Lord be our strength. Join us as we meditate, pray, and celebrate the risen life of Christ together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught, yet only a few seem to find it. Only one truly lived that way. He is the door through which we must pass in order for that kind of life to be possible for us. But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Unless we die to our own efforts and come to Jesus for that life, we will miss the kingdom entirely. The road is difficult because it requires us to die to our own selfish way of life. That is why few ever find it. He is the gate into kingdom life. Living a life where we are doing unto others what we would like them to do to us is the gospel working itself out in us. The spirit of Christ transforms our very character, and that is a gift from our good father. It's not something earned, strived for, or sweated out to obtain. No. It's a gift from God. It's a gift accomplished for humanity on the cross. His resurrection life in and for us is what we are celebrating this Easter day. As children, we are to trust our good father. He won't give us a snake if we ask for a fish. He knows how to give good gifts that get to the essence of our very life and come after our heart. He is a good father who gives his children good gifts. This is the good news, the gospel. Ours is to wake up to the reality that he is the good thing, our true life that alone can transform us from the inside out. Ours is to welcome the gospel that transforms us, making us people that love our neighbor as ourselves. We are to seek, knock, find, and pursue him with all our heart, mind, strength, and soul by the power of his Spirit. Then we will begin to experience the heart of our good Father, and he will produce in us the good fruit of good trees. He empowers us to live the way we were always intended to live. Allow God, through his spirit, to transform you. His life in you is what makes you a good tree that produces good fruit. Live with the awareness that your father is good. May that be our prayer and our pursuit today. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Luke 22 vs. 42-44 says, “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him. He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood."

Sunday School Teacher: “Okay, kids, what do we say when we do something wrong?” Little Brian (without blinking): “Blame Satan.” The teacher laughed, but Brian continued: “Because last time I said it was my fault, I lost tablet time. Now I just say, ‘Satan made me do it.' Mom gets mad at Satan instead.”…

Allow God control as this week starts turn it all over to God

By Joe Greene - Satan is winning the hearts and minds of this world, and we must not allow him to win with us. We cannot win this battle on our own and need God's help to endure and overcome. God tests our hearts to help us grow spiritually, not to destroy us. Allow God to build perfect, righteous character in us.

Know Your Enemy (KYE)He emphasized that in spiritual warfare, understanding the enemy's limitations and tendencies is important (2 Corinthians 2:11).Apostle Iren reminded us that we already know who the devil is—a liar, a murderer, and a thief (John 8:44, Revelation 12:9, 1 Samuel 17:34-35).Using the story of David and Goliath, he illustrated a key principle: spiritual warfare is won by spiritual tactics.The reason King Saul allowed a boy (David) to face a giant (Goliath) was because of his resume and not by faith (1 Samuel 16:18; Judges 20:15-16).David vs. Goliath was a fair fight because David knew his enemy. Goliath was big but slow, and David used his sling strategically to win from a distance.What We Should Know About Satan and His Angels:

The enemy already dislikes marriage and he will try to destroy it. The engagement season is the step before marriage and there will be many tests. Allow God to put His hand in this season as well because you will still need Him to be a part of your marriage.

By John Paul Jones - There is a spirit world, and if, we don't allow God's Holy Spirit to led us...Satan will.

Daily Study: Most times when we don't achieve our goals it's because we set those goals without input from God. Setting a goal without a word from God equals trying to throw a rock at the moon. Allow God to set your goals, and watch your goal achievement rate dramatically increase to almost 100%.

Your oil will get you far. Allow God to use you. Your obedience is tied to someone else's blessing.

Allow God to shake you

“You're going to stay in this marriage.” This was the message Nicole Berlucchi heard from God. Before this, Nicole was convinced she was doing most of the work at home and in her marriage. Her friends told her she was a “saint” for putting up with her husband. To top it off, Nicole's husband was unwilling to go to therapy. Nicole was sure God was on her side. Nicole left her husband for four days to discern if she was going to leave him. While Nicole entered this time of discernment relatively certain she was headed for divorce, God made it clear that Nicole needed to change and give her marriage a chance. Nicole engaged in a very difficult season of healing that resulted in the transformation of her heart and marriage. Listen to this mini-retreat in a podcast in Mamas in Spirit's Lenten Series: HEAL. Allow God to help you remove barriers to love and be loved. Nicole Berlucchi is the author of “Magnify Love: Unlocking the Heart of Jesus in Your Marriage and Your Life.”

Allow God to touch the areas of your heart that you've hidden away .

By Joe Greene - We are each responsible for our own salvation, but what does that mean? Passover is a yearly reminder of the covenant we made with God at baptism. Allow God to help us grow spiritually by being obedient to Him and His purpose in our lives.

Allow God's Love to change your mindsets. See things in a new way in this time of {new} strategy and understanding. Transcript: This is a very strategic time in the body of Christ. This is a time when you must keep your eyes upon Me and only Me The enemy has thrown all of the swamp at you. He's trying to devour you on all sides The reason that you are being fought is because you are a chosen one and those in ones are going to defeat the enemies of darkness. Now little ones, you must look up this night as you praise Me. You must reach out and touch the Him in My garment and you must trust Me with all the faith that you have.  I have come by this night to stuff with you. I am here with all of My glory. I want to bring you up higher. I want to bring you up by the degradation of this world. I want to set you on the mountaintops where every miracle in My word cones to pass. Do you need a miracle? I'm the miracle maker. I will perform that miracle for you little ones. You cannot have any doubt or any fear. You have to trust Me with every fiber of your being. If I said it, I can accomplish it and I will accomplish it. But if I did not say it, then I'm not in it.  So, children make sure that whenever you come before My throne, you know My word and know what it says and give and speak My word to Me and watch Me fulfill every promise you.  You are like ice skaters on the ice skate rink you're going around and around and around and you're trying to do your very best but the enemy has come to trip you up he's come to stop you at any cost keep skating keep reaching for your goal, reach higher each and every second of every day, and know that your Father is there with you, leading, guiding and directing.  There will be dark days, but there will be more lighter days than dark days, for My light is coming as a bright shining light; a beacon into My houses of worship. I will set all of My captives free, not just one or two.  I will set entire congregations free in a wink of My eye. You are at that moment and I do want to do that even this night.  What is it that's plaguing your body? What is it that is plaguing your mind, your soul and your spirit? Hand it over to Me this night. Hand handed over to your Father in heaven who truly does love you. I am not here to chastise. I am here to love. My body is going through, has gone through many trials and tribulations that have made you grow weary and now I am blessing and blessing and blessing.  Lay the curse aside and just expect one miracle after another to flow through your body and then as the overflow comes, it will flow into others lives. Be of good cheer this night. Raise your voices to heaven and worship the Almighty God. I am finished with this court. I am finished with what ifs. We are all in, all of us together, and we are going to win this battle.  This is a love that will bring you into My heavenly throne room out of the wilderness. This is My love I am shedding upon My people. I am drawing you to Myself like a magnet. You will cling to Me with all of your heart. My love will restore all that the palmer and cankerworm have stolen. Children this night, I am pulling at the heartstrings. I am asking you to please let go of all unforgiveness. Everything that doesn't make sense to you, give it to Me.  My kingdom is one of much wisdom. The earth cannot understand heavenly things, but as you draw close to Me this night, you will start receiving that wisdom from above. You will no longer want or desire the things of this earth. My love will consume you from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet. You will sing new songs. You will dance new dances. You will rejoice in a way you've never rejoiced before.  My kingdom of love is one of perfection. My kingdom of love is one that surpasses all understanding. The world needs to know this love. And the only way that they can know this love is through you.  We cast all lust aside this morning and we stepped into the love circle of grace. Stay in that love circle and glean all the love that I have there. Keep your hearts pure and honest before Me. Never for one instance think that I do not love you. I love you beyond measure. I love you with a love that you will never understand. And I don't expect you to. I just want you to receive that love tonight.  Receive that love and Mercy. Quit looking around for love and look up. Love is up and not around. Look into My eyes, My loving eyes. Look into the eyes of My son Jesus and see the pain that He bore to spread our love throughout this land.  I am love. You are love. We all become love and through that love a great, great revival will break out. The greater glory will come and the greater works will begin. This is what this is all about little ones, getting you into that place where I can bring the greater glory and bring that revival that is so needed. This night I do not want you to leave here without being saturated with My love. Will you draw into Me? Will you come into My bosom and just allow Me to fulfill every desire of your heart? Do not linger to cesspool any longer. Just come. Come to the altar of My heart and become partaker of who I truly am.  I'm dropping My love right now. I'm dropping all of My glory right now. Step into it Step into it. Step into that cylinder of love.   Pull close to My bosom. Let Me seal it. Let Me secure it tonight. The enemy cannot have this pure love that I'm dropping right now. Yes, no part of it. Come. Come. Let's make love together, you and I. Let's leave here as one. Never to be separated again. I'm holding you tight in My arms. I'm telling you to overflowing, truly the Garden of Eden is being restored in this hour. The Garden was nothing but pure love, a place for us to meet, to greet each other and walk in the stillness of the night, sharing our hearts, sharing our love with nothing to interfere. The enemy was not allowed in the garden of love. He is not allowed here tonight. He cannot enter these walls or these doors. This overflow of My love will consume you. It will destroy all fear of My children. How My heart aches and longs to put you in My arms of love and secure you in heavenly places.  Come higher. Come deeper. Let Me consume you, let Me consume you with My love In My fortitude, I'm all that you have need of. Love conquers all things. True love, the copy love. The love that only I can spread abroad upon My people. The heavenly love. The angels are dancing and rejoicing this night. They know what this love will do.  This generation and only knows hate It's going to carry this love to the nations This younger generation is going to destroy the darkness. While all that hate, all the bitterness, everything that's involved with hate. You wait and see. The trials and tribulations of this younger generation is going through as only for one purpose to bring you deeper into My wisdom, to draw you closer to Me so that we can make love and spread it to the nations.  Feel My heartbeat tonight. Fill My heart as it overflows into your heart grass pulled up it. Do not allow the enemy to steal it. I am sealing it right now with the blood of My son, Jesus. It carries nothing but pure unadulterated love. Your enemies will flee in all sides Because I cannot stand this love that will emanate off of you. Feel free My little one, feel free with this love. Love brings freedom. All the stagnation of the swamp is disappearing as you're laying in My love. Rise up rise up a brand new creation in Christ Jesus. For all the rest you've got to say, "The portals of heaven are open wide tonight." He wants to pour down upon you more than you can hold.   He wants you to have an overflow  of this love. Some of you older ones in here tonight: God is going to return your youth. You'll be able to work with the younger people. God's going to give you understanding of the roots of love that you had never had as you were growing up.  It's going to change your whole mindset. It's going to bring you to a new place in this kingdom, a place where you'll understand all things and you help My youth come into My glory.

Little ones, this is a perfect union between you and Me and you shall see the benefits of it There shall be many, many children produced spiritually and they will go forth and produce even more children spiritually.   This is a wonderful hour, and I'm so excited because I've been waiting for such a long time to see these things come to pass in the earth. This group is one of many that I have hidden in the But I am beginning to pull you all to the forefront, each group, each and every respective region to go forth and conquer on all sides. The enemy knows that he has lost this war but even though he knows this, he's still trying to fight.   Keep your eyes fixed and focused upon Me. Keep your eyes not on the things of this world, but on the heavenly realms. As I take you higher and higher in Me, you will no longer feel the darkness Cutting through you. You will know that it is in the atmosphere, but you will be able to walk through it with the anointing that I place inside of you. Freedom on all sides and in all ways.

I am in full, total, and complete control of all things that pertain to your life. I know the ins and outs, the ups and downs. I know how the mind works. I know how the heart works. I know everything about you because I wonderfully formed you in your mother's womb and you are still wonderfully formed. Even though life's circumstances seem to have changed some things, you are still wonderfully formed. Never once, never once believe that the enemy can have you. You are mine now and you will be mine forever. Stay walking the path. Don't look to the right nor to the left and quit wondering and doubting. Just walk forward believing if I said it, it shall surely come to pass.

Self-discipline and self-discovery essential components of spiritual growth. Believers need to focus on themselves in a godly way, not out of selfishness, but to better understand and fulfill their purpose in Christ. Evaluate our relationships, habits, and thought patterns, to align more closely with God's will. Allow God to overflow in their lives rather than depleting ourselves.

Send us a textWe have to be willing to go through the darkness of healing to reach our highest. God is taking you on a healing journey, it won't be easy but it will be worth it. Allow God to renew your mind and give you strength to face all that you need to heal. In order for us to reach our calling we have to be willing to be pruned of our old self. 

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 12/22/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. The light of Christ changes how we feel about ourselves. The light of Christ brings personal joy. The light of Christ brings personal peace. The light of Christ changes how others see us. Don't hide who God is making you. Allow God to use your life to shape the life of others. Christ makes us shine as light so we have something to give Him. When I see what God has given me, I want to give to Him . The most important gift you will ever give is a life lived in the Light for the Light.

Preaching for the Third Sunday of Advent - Gaudete Sunday - Kate Ward offers a reflection on letting God's joy find us in the stillness: "Joy comes from resting in the presence of what is real: our God, our loved ones, the beauty of God's creation. God help us to make do with less: less power, less wealth, less busy-ness and activity. On this Gaudete Sunday in Advent, lead us to the stillness where we find your joy." Kate Ward is Associate Professor of theological ethics at Marquette University, working in areas including economic ethics, virtue ethics, fundamental moral theology and Catholic social thought. She lives in Milwaukee with her family, where they are parishioners of Our Lady of Divine Providence in the Riverwest neighborhood.

This week we speak about God and Freedom with Mr Martin Fitzgerald, teacher at Redfield College. God is often seen in our times as someone who places restrictions and rules upon us and inhibits our freedom.

1st Sunday of Advent During this Advent season we will be doing a 4-part homily series as we Journey to the Manger together to welcome the Christ-child at Christmas.  Our story starts with God's incredible creation - of the universe, and of each of us - and the hope that it promises. As Fr. Riccardo says: “God created and runs this immense universe, and nothing is more important to him than you and me…He thinks you're worth the trouble.”  That's what it means to be created! So on this Journey, when you are feeling “drowsy” from “the anxieties of daily life”, I encourage you to take a moment and look at the world with fresh eyes.  Allow God to reinvigorate you with hope.  Pause and be filled with wonder each day. “O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder,  Consider all, the worlds thy hands have made.”

How did Ken's message apply to you personally?• The first of Jude's message to believers is to contend for the faith (verse 3).

How can you be a part of preserving “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (ESV)?• The second of Jude's message to believers is to persevere in the faith (verses 20-21). He presents a fourfold pattern for maintaining perseverance of “building… praying… keeping… waiting.” How do each of these contribute to your faithful perseverance? How are you doing?• Throughout his letter, Jude presents a litany of characteristics of the false teachers who secretly creep into the church. Read again verses 4, 8, 10-13, and 16. What stands out as things to watch for in identifying false teachers?• On the other hand, Jude presents others as needing our assistance in verse 22. Who are these individuals and how do you distinguish them from the false teachers?• Jude makes it clear that God brings about judgment on the ungodly and the enemies of his truth. Do you find yourself stressing over the evil and unbelief in the world that is progressing from bad to worse?

MISSION HIGHLIGHT - Pray for the Unreached: The Malay in MalaysiaMalaysia has a population of 13.2 million, with Islam as the predominant religion and Malay as the main language. Less than 0.1% of the population are Christians. While the complete Bible is available in both written and oral forms, no gospel movement has been reported. The need for 264 workers is estimated, with a ratio of 1 worker per 50,000 people. Focus prayer on sending Jesus-following families to live among the Malays, sharing love, forgiveness, and the gospel. There is a call for the Scriptures in the Malay language to reveal God's love, for healing in families, and for a new generation of Malays to spread the Good News to others.|FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 11/03 34,373Giving For 11/10 32,141YTD Budget 670,646 Giving 578,472 OVER/(UNDER) (92,174)Operation Christmas Child - Operation Christmas Child collection week is here!

Keith Peeler leads the listener through listening to prayer for decisions. As Keith leads this prayer, you can let the power of the Holy Spirit move through you. Allow God to focus your mind; He will nudge your heart toward the correct next step in your life journey. This prayer is for Christians who believe in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

Expect success in every area! Hard work is required in anything that you do. Allow God to reveal your path, continually grow from any trials, do your work well an expect God to bless you for a job well done. Acknowledge that wealth, honor, abundance toward us all come from God. When the Lord confirms what you should be doing, heed (give careful attention to) His instructions and MAKE THE CHOICE TO DO THE WORK! Note, there are consequences for our disobedience. Although we may not immediately see the reward for our good doings, they are on the way! Do not give up! 

There is strength found in speaking His promises and trusting in His divine purpose, even when life feels uncertain. Scripture tells us to “Meditate on the word (you must think about them night and day) so that you will faithfully do everything written in them. Only then will you prosper and succeed,” Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭. “Help me understand your guiding principles so that I may reflect on your miracles,” Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭27‬. Fuel your faith today, starve your fear. Allow God's love and peace to satisfy you.

Allow God to find us and give us the second chance we need.

It's easy to allow Jesus' love to flow through us when everything is going our way, right? But what about those times when people, circumstances, and just plain ‘ole life is tough? On today's episode, I sit down with Marnie Swedberg, a dynamic mentor, speaker, author, and founder of the world's largest Christian Women's Speaker resource. Marnie shares how we can be a “flow-through” vessel of Jesus' mercy, love, and grace.  Marnie shares her remarkable journey and examines how to seamlessly integrate faith into everyday life, especially when confronted with modern-day challenges. We dive into the transformative practice of "Prayer Breathing," which encourages maintaining a spiritual connection akin to dolphins surfacing for air. We explore how this practice fosters spiritual vitality and resilience, especially during tough times like the back-to-back hurricanes Marnie faced recently at her home in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. Her personal stories of evacuation and loss showcase the profound impact of relying on spiritual guidance instead of conventional defense mechanisms during life's inevitable storms. Cultivating a consistent connection with God is at the heart of this episode. We introduce the "four R's"—  Recognize, Release, Receive, and Respond—as a practical guide to transitioning from self-reliance to divine dependence. Join us in this heartfelt conversation.

Christian reporter Linda Radcliffe felt like someone kicked her in the gut. Mayfield Sherman? Lord! That monster was put to death several years ago, but not before he killed several women. He'd made a stop in Oklahoma, right on Linda's reporting beat. But she'd left, and Sherman was a big part of the reason. She had read the police files. She had seen the photos. Twenty years later, she's back to help a family she once covered. When she meets her old colleague, now the editor of the town paper, feelings once dampened begin to rise again.   PURCHASE HERE Song lyrics are poems at heart. Words that come from a deep discovery of the love of God. These poems are song lyrics – some realized, some needing music – that Yvette wrote at the same time as the devotional, Whispering in His Ear, came to life. We talk to God. Sometimes. But we really don't expect a response. Neither do we look for him in everyday situations. Yvette does, and she tells of her simple but poignant life lessons with God in these lyrics! Yvette Walker's testimony drives this book of poetry: that you can be a believer all your life without fully understanding the joy that comes from the Father is the very joy that completes you. Yvette says, "I hope you enjoy these 12 faith-filled poems from my heart, written by the Holy Spirit."

Taking regular breaks to focus on God's presence is not a luxury. It's a vital practice for your spiritual well-being. By taking breaks from your busyness, you can experience in that stillness that God is really with you right where you are!  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: How Breaks from Your Busyness Can Help You Find God By: Whitney Hopler “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.' The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” – Psalm 46:10-11, NIV  In this fast-paced, constantly connected world, you can often find yourself engulfed in a whirlwind of tasks and distractions. Your schedule is packed, your to-do list is long, and finding time for rest can seem like an impossible luxury. Yet, in the middle of this busyness, God invites you to take regular breaks to focus on his presence with you. God urges you to “Be still, and know that I am God.” The command to “be still” is not just about physical rest. It's also a call to mental and spiritual stillness. Being still involves creating moments in your day to pause, breathe, and shift your attention from your hectic schedule to notice God's presence with you. This intentional stillness allows you to connect with God in ways that renew you spiritually.  When you're busy, it's easy to lose sight of God's constant presence. Your mind can be preoccupied with the demands of work, family, and other responsibilities. However, taking regular breaks to be still before God helps you to refocus. It's in these moments of quiet reflection that you can truly come to know and experience the reality of God's closeness. Regardless of how busy or overwhelmed you may feel, God is always with you, ready to give you peace and guidance when you ask for it. Taking breaks to pay attention to God's presence can transform your perspective – helping you to discover the wonder of God's work in every situation.  So, imagine yourself pausing in the middle of a busy day to simply acknowledge God's presence with you. This act of intentional focus can help you remember that you are not alone in your struggles and that God is actively involved in every part of your life. It's a powerful reminder that God is not distant or disconnected, but intimately aware of your needs and concerns. In your moments of stillness, you can not only become more aware of God's presence, but also of God's protection and support. God is your fortress – your safe haven in stressful times. You can rely on God to be there for you, even in the middle of life's chaos. Knowing that God is your fortress can give you the confidence to face your challenges with renewed courage and faith.  Here are some ways to incorporate breaks into your daily routine:  Schedule regular times throughout your day to pause and focus on God. These could be short breaks in the morning, midday, and evening. During your breaks, take time to thank God for his blessings and for being with you throughout your day.  Use everyday activities – such as a walk, a coffee break, or a commute – as opportunities to turn your attention toward God and enjoy God's presence with you. Reflect on God's promises and listen for his voice. Allow God's presence to fill you with peace and guidance.  Spend a few minutes reading a Bible verse or a devotional, and then pray, asking the Holy Spirit to help you apply that wisdom to your life.  Taking regular breaks to focus on God's presence is not a luxury. It's a vital practice for your spiritual well-being. By taking breaks from your busyness, you can experience in that stillness that God is really with you right where you are!  Intersecting Faith and Life As you consider how breaks from your busyness can help you find God, reflect on these questions: How often do you take intentional breaks to focus on God during your day? What are some practical ways you can incorporate moments of stillness into your daily routine? How does recognizing God's presence with you affect your approach to your daily responsibilities and challenges? What steps can you take to create a habit of pausing to enjoy God's presence throughout your day? How does the assurance that God is your fortress give you confidence and peace when you're busy?  Further Reading  Exodus 14:14 Isaiah 40:31 Matthew 11:28 Psalm 37:7 Philippians 4:6-7 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
