We all know the Fruit of the Spirit sounds great on Sunday. But by Monday? That fruit can feel really far away. In this episode, we get real about what it actually looks like to walk in love, patience, peace, and self-control when life gets hard -- a difficult client, a team member who dropped the ball, or a season that's just heavy. This one's practical, honest, and for every woman trying to run her business and her life with faith in the middle of it.Scriptures Referenced"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."— Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." — Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."— John 15:5 (NIV)Key TakeawaysThe Fruit of the Spirit grows -- you can't force it. Your job is to stay connected to the source and let it flow from there.Love and kindness in business doesn't mean being a pushover. You can hold your boundary AND lead with a gentle tone.Before you reply to that frustrating email or message, pause. Even five minutes changes everything.Your standards don't drop just because someone else's did. Faithfulness is showing up with integrity even when others don't.Joy is not the same as happiness. You can be in a hard season and still have deep-down peace that God's got you.You don't try harder -- you abide deeper. Stay connected to Jesus, and the fruit takes care of itself.Reflection QuestionsTake a few minutes with these this week -- in your journal, on a walk, or just sitting quietly with your coffee.Where is it hardest right now for you to walk in patience or self-control -- at work, at home, or somewhere else?Is there a situation you've been reacting to instead of responding to? What would it look like to pause first?What does your time with God look like right now? Is the root strong enough to produce the fruit you need?Who in your life or business needs you to lead with gentleness this week, even when it's hard?One Thing to Try This WeekPick one relationship or situation that's been draining you -- a client, a team member, a hard season -- and before you engage with it this week, spend two minutes in prayer first. Just two minutes. Hand it to God before you handle it yourself. See what changes.CONNECT WITH JAN:Here are all the best places and FREE stuff

The mind feels stretched, the heart feels pulled, and the weight of the day rests heavier than expected. But into this moment, Psalm 121 lifts our eyes: help is not behind you; help is not lost; help comes from the Lord — your Maker, your Keeper, your constant source of strength. Jesus, You see the strain of these hours. You know the battles fought, the decisions made, the pressures carried, the thoughts that have run hard since morning. As evening descends, You do not grow distant — You draw closer, gently lifting the chin of every weary heart. Lord, teach us again to come boldly — aproximar-se com confiança — to the throne of grace. Let every listener feel the nearness of Your help. Let fear loosen. Let tension ease. Let the heart remember that it is held. For the one who feels undone by the day — lift them. For the one overwhelmed by needs — help them. For the one who feels unseen — surround them. For the one who is anxious — steady them. Jesus, eu levanto meus olhos para Ti agora. Meu socorro vem somente de Ti (Jesus, I lift my eyes to You now. My help comes from You alone.)

The day is no longer beginning, and it is not yet closing. It is here, in this middle stretch, that decisions often feel heavier and the right path isn't always obvious. So I pause and ask You to speak into my spirit with voz suave, Your gentle voice that cuts through confusion and steadies my heart. There are moments in the middle hours where pressure builds quietly — choices to make, conversations waiting, responsibilities stacking. But You step into this space with direção clara, clear direction that doesn't rush me but guides me. You remind me that I don't walk by instinct alone; I walk by the leading of Your Spirit. Jesus, let coração guiado, a guided heart, become my posture today. Settle me where I feel scattered. Anchor me where my thoughts drift toward worry. Let nothing pull me outside the peace You have already placed within me. Let Your voice be the compass, the calm, the centre. Where I need wisdom, give it generously. Where I need courage, strengthen me. Where I need clarity, illuminate the path beneath my feet. And where I feel hurried, place descanso interior, deep inner rest, over my mind like a covering. So guide my choices, steady my emotions, and keep my heart aligned with Your peace. In these middle hours, Jesus, make my path straight and my spirit quiet in You.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 91:5 (NIV): “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.” Colossians 3:15 (NIV): “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Ao vivo de Londres, Inglaterra para Brasília (Brasil) • Lisboa (Portugal) • Huambo (Angola) • Maputo (Moçambique) • Santiago (Chile) Jesus, as this morning unfolds and the rhythm of the day begins to rise around us, we come to You with the thoughts that rush ahead, the responsibilities that feel heavy, and the uncertainties waiting in the hours we have not reached yet. Your Word tells us that we do not need to fear what approaches us in daylight — that Your peace is not fragile, and Your covering is not removed when the world becomes loud. So now, entra na manhã e acalma a mente que corre depressa, steadying the inner world before the outer world grows any louder. For the listener who feels their emotions tightening already, bring a deep breath of peace into their spirit. For the one who senses pressure building — deadlines, conversations, financial demands, decisions they do not feel ready for — cover them with the assurance that Your peace can truly rule the heart. Not visit it briefly, not pass through it lightly, but rule it with calm authority. Jesus, where worry tries to race ahead, slow the thoughts. Where fear imagines outcomes before anything has happened, speak truth. Where insecurity rises, remind them that they are held. Dá clareza ao coração que se sente confuso nesta hora, giving the listener clarity that is not produced by effort, but given by Your presence. Guard them from emotional arrows — the criticism they fear, the comparisons that drain them, the thoughts that distort their worth. Shield them from the invisible pressures that do not come from You.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:5 — Jesus, Steady My Mind as the Day Begins and Guard Me From Pressures I Cannot See Coming” Live from England — DailyPrayer.uk with Reverend Ben Cooper Ao vivo de Londres, Inglaterra para Brasília (Brasil) • Lisboa (Portugal) • Huambo (Angola) • Maputo (Moçambique) • Santiago (Chile) Psalm 91:5 (NIV): “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.” Colossians 3:15 (NIV): “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” Morning brings clarity, but it also brings responsibility. The pace quickens, decisions begin forming, and the pressures of the day appear long before we feel ready for them. Even when the night has passed peacefully, the mind can suddenly race once the sun rises. Jesus knows this rhythm of human vulnerability. He understands how quickly peace can slip when the day's demands stand waiting at the door. And into that moment, He speaks: Do not fear… let My peace rule your heart. So, Father, as Brasília steps into the brightness of the morning, as Lisboa wakes fully, as Huambo stirs with movement, as Maputo begins its rhythm, as Santiago comes alive with noise and purpose, You remain the still point that steadies every shaking thought. You see the pressures we anticipate and the ones we cannot yet see. You understand the invisible arrows—the deadlines, expectations, relational tensions, financial worries, responsibilities that quietly grow heavier. Jesus, steady the mind that feels pulled in too many directions. Still the thoughts that leap ahead into tomorrow. Lift the quiet fears that disguise themselves as planning. Guard our hearts from the emotional noise that tries to rush in before peace has taken its place. Let the peace of Christ not simply visit us but truly rule us—governing reactions, directing decisions, colouring the way we speak and move through this day. Where anxiety presses, bring clarity. Where confusion rises, bring wisdom. Where weariness lingers from yesterday, bring a renewed strength that does not come from us. Cover us with the assurance that what we cannot see coming is already known and already carried by You. And as we step into today, Jesus, be the One who steadies us. Let Your peace set the tone, shape the atmosphere, and anchor our hearts before the first demand arrives. Guide us gently but powerfully, and keep our minds under the shelter of Your unshakable presence. 9AM prayer, morning clarity, Psalm 91 protection, peace of Christ, steady mind, Brazilian devotional, clareza matinal, emotional stability, DailyPrayer.ukSupport the showDaily Prayer with Reverend Ben Cooper now reaches 184 countries and 2,968 cities worldwide through the Global Blend Radio network.

Some worries rise without warning. Some questions return even when I thought they had settled. Some emotions swirl like an unseen storm. “Eu clamo ao Senhor, e Ele me responde.” Let this truth echo through the places that feel unsettled. You hear me when I call. You draw near when my voice trembles. You understand even the cries I cannot put into words. Hold my spirit gently tonight, Jesus, and calm what feels restless within me. Your word invites me to come with confidence to the throne of grace. “Posso me aproximar do Teu trono com confiança.” Not because I feel strong, but because You welcome me in weakness, uncertainty, and fear. When my thoughts tighten, loosen them with Your peace. When my heart feels heavy, lift it with Your nearness. When my emotions rise like waves, speak stillness over them. A Tua graça me envolve e me sustenta. Let this evening become a place where Your peace settles deeper than any anxiety. Jesus, I bring You the storm within—the tension, the questions, the fragile places. Breathe calm into what feels chaotic.

Let Your peace be the first voice I hear, the first strength I lean into as I begin this day. “Que a paz de Cristo governe o teu coração.” Lord, let those words settle into my spirit and quiet the noise that tries to take over. Teach me to breathe deeply in Your presence, to let Your calm unravel the tension, and to walk into this morning with a confidence rooted not in myself, but in Your faithful love. When thoughts begin to race, slow them. When worries try to lead, silence them. When doubts attempt to cloud my clarity, lift them away with the gentleness only You can give. Jesus, I ask for strength where I feel weak, for direction where I feel unsure, and for courage where I feel stretched. “Dá-me clareza espiritual neste início do dia.” Give me spiritual clarity at the start of this day, and a steady heart that moves with grace rather than fear.

How do we bless strength, adventure, and tenderness in the next generation without fear or striving? Stasi welcomes Rebekah Lovell into a conversation about her book Boyhood Resurrected, honoring the God-given design of boys and the invitation Jesus offers us to bless what is wild and good. Together, they explore how grace, wisdom, and hope meet us as we raise hearts formed by love, freedom, and faith, in a demanding culture.And friends, as we talk about boys being “wired for wild,” we are not diminishing the unique and glorious ways girls are wired for adventure as well. While most Captivated episodes are directed toward women, this conversation turns toward nurturing boys in a world that too often misunderstands or diminishes them.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Hosea 6:3 (NIV) – Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.Psalm 100:1 (NIV) – Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.…..GUEST: REBEKAH LOVELLWebsite: https://rebekahlovell.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/MrsPoet_ActualX: https://x.com/mrspoet_actualBook: Boyhood Resurrected: Igniting a Revival of Daring and Heroic Boys https://rebekahlovell.com/books/BIORebekah Lovell is an author, speaker, and homeschool mom of two wild and noble boys.

The amanhecer carries both beauty and pressure — thoughts of responsibilities, quiet anxieties, and the weight of another day waiting to unfold. Yet Your word tells me that You cover me, surround me, and shelter me beneath the safety of Your wings. Tu és a minha proteção. Your faithfulness becomes the shield that guards my emotions and the strength that steadies my steps. Lord, as this new day awakes, let the peace of Christ rule gently within me. Let it quiet internal noise, soften restless thoughts, and lift away the tension that tries to settle early. Replace anxious breathing with Your steady presence. Replace uncertainty with a renewed confidence in Your guidance. Let Your peace — not fear — be the voice that leads my morning. Cover my decisions, my conversations, my workload, my heart.

You see the quiet strain behind the smile, the pressure felt in responsibilities, and the heaviness that gathers when the mind is stretched in many directions. You welcome us to come close, not with perfect strength, but with honesty and need. You meet us gently, speaking peace into the places where the day has felt demanding. Holy Spirit, breathe calm into every listener who feels the middle of the day tightening around their thoughts. Lift the quiet burdens that have been carried since morning.

And be thankful.” Joshua 1:7 (NIV): “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law My servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.” Jesus, as the morning settles in and thoughts begin to crowd the mind, You offer a peace that does not depend on circumstances. You see how quickly overthinking can rise, how easily small worries grow, and how quietly insecurity tries to shape the day before it fully begins. Your word invites us into calm, steady confidence. You call us to let Your peace rule, not the loud thoughts, not the fears of what could go wrong, and not the pressures that ask for more strength than we feel we have. Holy Spirit, bring gentle clarity to every listener who feels pulled in many directions. Quiet the inner noise that makes decisions feel heavier than they need to be. Steady the heart of the one who doubts their worth or ability. Let Your presence organise the thoughts that feel scattered and restore order where confusion has taken root. Remind us that courage grows when we walk closely with You, and that strength rises when we pause long enough to breathe and listen. Yahweh, guide each step with the assurance that You go before us. Let Your peace weave through today's tasks, responsibilities, and conversations. When overthinking tries to return, draw us back to Your voice—the voice that speaks calm, purpose, and identity.

Where disappointment or discouragement lingers, breathe fresh encouragement into the inner world. Yahweh, You draw near when Your people call on You.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 121:7 — Jesus, Guard My Mind as the Evening Closes In Live from London, England, Ireland • Brazil • Kenya • Denmark • India evening anxiety, emotional weariness, mental fog, gentle reassurance, daily prayer, peaceful thoughts Colossians 3:15 (NIV): “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Psalm 121:7 (NIV): “The Lord will keep you from all harm — He will watch over your life.” Jesus, as the evening settles and the pace of the day begins to slow, many find their thoughts becoming louder. Worries can rise when the world grows quiet. Concerns about family, work, decisions, relationships, and tomorrow's responsibilities often surface just as the body grows tired. Yet You speak peace into these hours. You come gently, reassuring the heart that You are near, alert, attentive, and steady. Your presence brings calm to the places where the mind feels unsettled or weighed down. Holy Spirit, let Your peace settle softly across every listener. Bring clarity where thoughts feel crowded. Ease the internal noise that tries to linger at the end of the day. Strengthen emotional resilience in those who feel worn or stretched thin. Let Your calming presence guide each breath and each thought, creating room for rest, reflection, and quiet confidence. Fill the inner world with a sense of balance and warmth. Let Your peace rule the heart in a gentle, dependable way. Yahweh, thank You for watching over Your people with unwavering care. As the Lion of Judah, bring a steady courage that strengthens the mind without stirring fear. Surround each person with a peaceful assurance that they are seen, understood, and supported. Guard their thoughts from worry, steady their emotions, and hold them in a safe and comforting peace as the evening draws close. Let Your presence be a protective covering that brings rest, gentleness, and renewed strength. DECLARATION: Jesus guards my mind. His peace surrounds me.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningIsaiah 40:31 — Jesus, Give Me Strength for Today and Renew My Spirit for What I Must Face TUESDAY 18 FEBRUARY 2026 — 5:00 A.M. From London to Sydney, Chicago, Lagos, Dublin, Toronto, Berlin, and Singapore, this 5 a.m. devotional rises with the global cry for strength — “Jesus give me strength,” “help me face today,” “I feel exhausted,” “renew my spirit,” “morning strength prayer,” “courage for today,” “I can't do this alone,” “Holy Spirit help me today.” Isaiah 40:31 (NIV): “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life.” Jesus, as the world wakes and responsibilities rise, I bring You the places of weakness I cannot hide. You see the tiredness under the surface, the quiet discouragement, the emotional heaviness carried from yesterday, the fear of failing, the pressure of expectations, the weight of decisions waiting to be made, the anxiety of not feeling strong enough for what this day requires. And these mirror the exact searches rising across the globe this morning — Jesus give me strength, prayer for courage, morning strength prayer, I feel overwhelmed today, Holy Spirit help me, I need strength to carry on, renewal prayer, prayer for emotional strength, I feel drained, Jesus renew my hope. Jesus, breathe new strength into my spirit. Let hope rise where discouragement has sat too long. Lift my eyes from fear to faith. Holy Spirit, steady my thoughts, calm my heart, and strengthen my inner being. Renew my perspective. Restore my courage. Refresh my mind. Fill me with the resilience I do not have in myself. Let Your unfailing love meet me in the first light of this day and guide every step I take. I declare that today I will not walk in my own strength but in the strength of the Lord. Weariness will not define me. Fear will not hold me. Discouragement will not lead me. Jesus goes before me, the Holy Spirit strengthens me, and the Father watches over me.

The Process of a Blessed Life 3) God cuts what's working, not just what's broken Genesis 12:1–2 (NIV) The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father's household to a land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.” Fine isn't the same as fruitful. Growth doesn't just mean adding new things; sometimes it means releasing old ones. 4) Blessing grows through surrender, not comfort James 1:2–4 (NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Pain → Process → Purpose 2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV) For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. The pressure you're feeling might be the proof you're growing. 5) What God removes always makes room for something better. Hebrews 12:11 (NIV) No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Job 42:10, 12 (NIV) After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before... The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. What feels like decrease now is often the setup for double later. Galatians 6:9 (NIV) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. The cut isn't the end of your story, it's the evidence that your next season is about to bloom

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.BUILT DIFFERENT: FAMILIESI.

Isaiah 43:18-19 NIVForget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.This passage from the prophet Isaiah, offering God's words to the people of Israel, is both beautiful and poetic. As followers of Christ, we can apply these promises to our own lives because God has opened every door and provided every gift He holds in His storehouse for us through Jesus.God has created for us a way out of the past and into the realm of the new He has made. He wants us to see, understand, and embrace all He has for us. In what was once a wilderness, He makes a way and what once was a wasteland, He creates a stream. That, my friends, opens up the doors for us to not only set new and exciting goals for our lives, but actually see them come true.Listen to The Message Bible's version of this passage: “Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.Declare this with me: I will forget the former things; I will not dwell on the past. I will see the new thing that God is doing! He is making a way in my wilderness and a stream in my wasteland. (from Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV) Let's commit this to prayer: “Father, thank You for the new thing You are doing in my life. I receive it and want to see it happen. Bring Your way, create Your stream, through my life to live as You desire and designed me to live. As above, so below.”

Ever wish you could be unbothered—the kind of person who doesn’t spiral when things go sideways? In today’s devotional, Laura Bailey shares a heartfelt story about her friend’s tough day, a voicemail full of frustration, and a powerful moment of conviction from the Holy Spirit. What started as venting turned into a moment of humility—and a reminder that being “unbothered” doesn’t mean we ignore hurt. It means we choose grace over pride. As Romans 12:3 tells us: “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, by the faith God has distributed to each of you.” (NIV) Let this be your reminder:Being unbothered doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you care more about the person than the problem. Join the Conversation:Have you ever caught yourself in a moment of venting—only to feel convicted later? What helps you respond with grace instead of reacting with frustration? Let us know @LifeaudioNetwork or by email. We’d love to hear your story.
Jesus doesn't begin the Sermon on the Mount with commands—He begins with identity. “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” These aren't tasks to perform, but deep truths to live from. In this episode, we explore three powerful, identity-shaping metaphors Jesus gives His followers: Salt, Light, and a City on a Hill. These aren't random illustrations—they're rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures and steeped in covenant language. Salt reminds us of God's enduring faithfulness. Light reflects our calling to reveal God's presence in a dark world. And a City? It's a picture of a visible, communal people where others encounter the reign of God. Through this lens, we'll see how Jesus redefines what it means to be blessed and challenges us to live lives that are distinct, illuminated, and grounded in the story of God. Whether it's in our neighborhoods, workplaces, or online spaces, Jesus is calling us to be a preserving presence, a revealing light, and a visible people shaped by His Kingdom. Key Themes: Salt as covenant loyalty Light as God's mission The Church as a City that reflects God's kingdom Scripture Focus: Matthew 5:13–16 (NIV) "Let your light shine..." not to draw attention to ourselves, but to glorify our Father in heaven.” Episode Links: Buy Me A Coffee simplyrevised.org Contact Us Receive our newsletter Facebook Instagram Music Provided by Eric Gwin Appain Media: Bible Study Without Borders: Sermon on the Mount BibleProject (podcast): Salt of the Land and Light of the World

Immeasurably More // New Identity Ephesians 4:17-32 (NIV)“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” 1. In Christ, We Have a New Identity. Ephesians 4:22 (NIV)“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.” Ephesians 4:24 (NIV)“And to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Colossians 3:9-10 (NIV)“…You have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.” Romans 13:12, 14 (NIV)“…Let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” Ephesians 4:1 (NIV)“…I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” Matthew 6:8 (ESV)“Do not be like them…” Romans 12:2 (NIV)"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” 2. In Christ We Should be Honest and Not Lie. Ephesians 4:25 (NIV)“Therefore, each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” Christians Are to Have Righteous Anger, Not Unrighteous. Ephesians 4:26-27 (NIV)“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Psalm 4:4 (ESV)“Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent.” Psalm 119:53 (ESV)“Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.” Mark 3:5 (ESV)“And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart…” Christians Are to Work, Be Generous, and Not Steal. Ephesians 4:28 (NIV)“Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.” Christians are to Replace Corrupt Talk with Edifying Talk. Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:30 (NIV)“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” Christians are to Replace Bitterness and Rage with Kindness and Forgiveness. Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV)“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
Series: Purposeful Pathways Sermon Title: Different Decisions “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22 (NIV) “A purposeful life is built one decision at a time” 1) The Intention Question “What is hidden in our hearts shapes what is seen in our lives” The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt.” James 1:5-6 (NIV) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) “But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don't take yourself too seriously—take God seriously.” Micah 6:8 (MSG)
Episode 12: Advent Day 12 - The Peace of ChristScripture: Colossians 3:15 (NIV)"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace."Hello again! Colossians 3:15 encourages us to "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts." Imagine being part of a well-coordinated team in a game like Overwatch or League of Legends. Success comes when everyone works together under a unified strategy.Similarly, we're called to let Christ's peace guide our hearts and interactions. This peace isn't passive; it actively influences how we respond to situations and people.As members of one body—the church—we're meant to live in harmony. When we allow His peace to rule, it becomes the umpire in our hearts, making the calls in our decisions and relationships.Prayer:Jesus, we invite Your peace to take control of our hearts. Help us to prioritize unity and love within our communities. Let Your peace dictate our responses and bring us together as one body. In Your name, Amen.

Have you asked God to show you how you can partner with Him in pushing back the darkness in this world? How does it feel to know that God's Light and love will win in the end? 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 Focus on Jesus By Alexis A. Goring “I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.” — Psalm 123:1 (NIV) Let's face it: Our world is in complete chaos. But we do have hope! His name is Jesus Christ and He can help us survive this experience on Earth. It's easy to get caught up in all that is wrong with our world today: wars and rumors of wars, division in the Christian church, turmoil in our communities in the USA and throughout the world, bad weather wreaking havoc, political upheaval, as well as personal struggles and the trials we all endure as followers of Jesus Christ. Truthfully, it's a lot and very overwhelming if that's our focus. But the moment we decide to turn our eyes upon Jesus, that is when our perspective begins to change. We remember that planet Earth is not our home. We realize that one day, Jesus will return and usher all His faithful followers into Heaven where there will be no more pain, sorrow, heartbreak, disappointment, or sin. Heaven is a perfect place, and when we arrive there, we too will be perfect. But for now, Earth is our temporary home. God does not expect us to ignore all the problems we have on this planet. Instead, He expects us to serve others as we serve Him. It's our duty to make this world a better place. We can do that by focusing on our faith walk with Jesus. When we ask Him to show us what He is doing in this world, we can learn what we can do to partner with Him in driving out the darkness. The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world (John 8:12) and as Christians, we are a light for Christ (Matthew 5:14). It is important to spend time with God and ask Him how we can share Christ's light and love with our fellow humans—especially those who don't know Jesus yet. William J. Thoms, a British writer, said, “Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.” Therefore, let's do our best to love God and all people. Our hope is that they will be drawn to Him and learn how much God loves them. When we share the love of Jesus, it helps to ease their pain as they learn how to look to Christ. The lyrics to the hymn, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” tell us that when we look to Jesus, all the problems in this world seem to fade away. Our perspective is renewed as we allow His goodness, grace, and mercy to flood our souls, bringing us close to Him and reminding us that this world is not our home. Several years ago, I was pouring out my heart to Jesus about all the pain in this world and lamenting how it was affecting me. God responded by speaking these words to my heart: “Remember, Earth is temporary and that means your pain is temporary.” He helped me see that all the trials and tribulations, death and destruction, betrayal and pain … it all will be put to a permanent end by Jesus Christ. There is an expiration date to our pain and that date is known as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Only God knows the exact date and time when He will send His Son to take us home (Matthew 24:36). God wants everyone to know Him and be saved in His Kingdom. Let's keep working to share His Light and His love with our world today and every day. There are two songs that helped to inspire this devotional today: “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” by Rachael Lampa and “Turn to Jesus” by Katy Nichole. I encourage you to listen to both, because the lyrics can help us focus on Jesus. Let's thank Jesus for being our safe place, our refuge and ever-present help in trouble. Let's look to Jesus and focus on Him so that we are not consumed by all the pain and suffering in this world. Let's thank the Lord for always being here for us and never leaving us to face life alone. Intersecting Faith and Life: Have you asked God to show you how you can partner with Him in pushing back the darkness in this world? How does it feel to know that God's Light and love will win in the end?

She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself?
