Eze 40:28-41:26, James 4:1-17, Ps 118:19-29, Pr 28:3-5
Family and friendship are among God’s greatest gifts, yet they can also be some of life’s hardest places to navigate. Today's prayer and devotional from Alicia Searl reflects on a phrase her father often said: “You only get one dose of family.” Over time, grief and loss transformed those words into a deeper truth: “You only get one dose of family, so love them like it’s their last day.” As we enter the Thanksgiving season—a time that often highlights both joy and tension—Scripture calls us to something higher: “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone” (Hebrews 12:14). Peace in relationships doesn’t happen by accident. It requires humility, forgiveness, patience, and a grateful heart. Alicia reminds us that when we invite God into our relationships, He softens our hearts and restores what is broken. Through His Word, the Lord points us toward hope (Jeremiah 29:11), healing (Psalm 147:3), and restoration (1 John 4:20). This season, as you gather around tables and reunite with those you love, consider the sacredness of your time together. Psalm 90:12 urges us to number our days so we may gain a heart of wisdom. Life is brief. Our relationships matter. And every moment of grace, peace, and patience reflects the heart of our relational God. Choose gratitude. Choose peace. Choose love—even when it’s difficult. God is honored in these choices, and He promises to work within them. Today's Bible Reading:“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” – Hebrews 12:14 Takeaway Truths God gives us the gift of family and friends for His divine purposes. Peace in relationships requires effort, prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Time with loved ones is sacred and fleeting—choose to use it well. Gratitude softens the heart and opens the door for healing and unity. Let’s Pray Faithful Father, we are so thankful that You give us the gift of family and precious friendships. As a relational God, we know that You command us to cherish and deepen these relationships by nourishing them with love and cultivating peace. Oh, but we need Your help, wisdom, and guidance. Please help us foster a heart of gratitude this beautiful season that softly calls us to see the many blessings You have so graciously provided. Allow us to show and give thanks to those You have so lovingly placed in our lives with our words, actions, and deeds. Grant us the means to be peacemakers and restore hope and healing to relationships that need Your hand of mercy. When various waves of emotions arrive, temper our thoughts, calm our hearts, and soothe our souls with Your Word of Truth. We want to live intentionally, honoring You with our time, because our days here on this side of eternity matter and hold a greater purpose. I am so very thankful that one day all will be restored, and I eagerly anticipate the glory that awaits us as we spend eternity with You, in peace, love, and divine unity. Thank You for that hope. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

He will take that night season that was meant to destroy you and turn it into something that you could have never thought or imagined.” - Cristina Baker “God hasn’t changed the subject because humanity will always need hope. And hope is not a concept, He’s a person. Hope is found in Him.” - Cristina Baker “I am a spirit that lives in a body, and sometimes my body doesn’t line up with what my spirit knows is true.” - Becky Thompson “Just because the healing hasn’t come instantly, and just because it hasn’t happened as quickly as you wanted it to, does not mean that the Lord is not a part of the process.” - Becky Thompson “I think it’s so important that we remember that mental health situations don’t disqualify us from being women full of faith, they actually often cause us to be women of greater faith that lean more heavily on God’s sufficiency.” - Becky Thompson “No one says you have to wake up the next day and do the hardest thing. You just have to wake up the next day and do the next thing that makes the most sense for you, which is whatever the Holy Spirit is putting on your heart.” - Becky Thompson “The gift of this season in my life is that I’m learning to rest in the Lord even before the work is done. I can rest in a promise that I am safely held by a good God who loves me and promises to never leave.” - Becky Thompson “Rest is not a reward for our finished work. Scripture’s very clear about that. We actually get to rest because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross. We get to receive the rest that He offers to us in relationship with Him because of what He has accomplished.” - Becky Thompson “You get zero stars for trying to do it on your own when the Lord sends people to help you. Receive the help that the Lord is sending you because there may be other seasons when you can turn and be the help that you needed in another mama’s story.” - Becky Thompson “You have never been solely responsible for carrying that heavy burden on your own, and the rest that you really crave is attached to His presence and found in surrender.” - Becky Thompson ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Fr. Mike shares the powerful story of the Holy Spirit coming upon the apostles in the upper room. He emphasizes how God calls us to go out into the world with his Spirit and live in community and with devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the Eucharist, and prayer just like the first Christians. Today's readings are Acts 2, Romans 2-3, and Proverbs 26:27-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Every season of life carries memories—some that warm our hearts, and others that weigh heavily on our souls. As we move into the holiday months, today's prayer and devotional reminds us that many of us feel a deep mixture of joy and sorrow. Vivian Bricker reminds us that no matter what season we find ourselves in, God’s blessings are still present, even if they feel difficult to see. Scripture tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father (James 1:17). Apart from God, we have no good thing (Psalm 16:2). And even in the hardest seasons, God is still at work—bringing life out of what feels dead (Ezekiel 37) and working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Vivian vulnerably shares her own struggle to see God’s goodness in a difficult season. Perhaps you can relate. Sometimes life feels like Paddington Bear’s lament: “Why do bad things always happen to me?” And yet, the truth of Ecclesiastes 3:1 brings hope—this season will not last forever. Seasons change. Hardship has an end. God’s faithfulness does not. Even when blessings feel hidden, God’s presence remains constant. Psalm 23 reminds us that He is with us in every valley and on every mountaintop. And the greatest blessing of all—His unfailing love—cannot be taken from us (Romans 8:37–39). This Thanksgiving season, may we ask God for renewed vision to see His blessings, even in small ways, and to trust His steady love through every change. Today's Bible Reading:“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 Takeaway Truths God’s blessings surround us even when life feels heavy. Every season of life—good or painful—has a purpose and an appointed end. God’s presence and His love remain the greatest blessings we will ever receive. Let’s Pray Dear God, help me to see Your blessings in every season. Although this present season feels heavy, allow me to see You. Your blessings are always around me, and they fill me with much joy. Despite the difficult hardships and struggles I'm facing right now, I turn my focus to You. Shield my heart from negativity and help me to see Your blessings. I know they are always around me, just as Your presence always surrounds me. Walk with me as I enter this new season and help me to remember that You are eternally with me. There is time and a place for everything, and I praise You that You are the orchestrator behind them all. In Your Son’s Name, I pray, Amen.

Annoyed beyond the point of tolerance, Paul commanded the evil spirit to come out of the woman. The slave woman’s owners were not pleased. They beat Paul and took him and Silas to court where they were beaten yet again and thrown deep into prison. Around midnight as Paul and Silas were singing psalms to God, an earthquake shook the prison, opening the gates of all the prisoners.

The freelance project wasn’t working out well. The clients were demanding what seemed to be the impossible, and I was stressed and discouraged. My first reaction was just to walk away from it, which would mean not getting paid for the work I’d done—and also eliminating the possibility of future projects with them. Then the thought came to me: Have you prayed to God yet? Mentally slapping my forehead, I realized that I’d neglected to ask God for help! And so I prayed . . . and immediately felt better. Nothing had changed—the project remained challenging—but I felt peace wash over me. Now, I knew I could rest in God: I’d just do whatever I could and leave the outcome to Him. Perhaps David felt the same way when he submitted his fears and worries to God. In Psalm 6, he started off describing his anguish at being hounded by his enemies (Psalm 6:3, 7). But as he continued turning to God for help, he felt reassured: “The Lord has heard my cry . . . the Lord accepts my prayer” (v. 9). That truth came with the hope that he would be delivered, in God’s time and way (v. 10). Prayer isn’t some feel-good technique, but it’s a direct connection with an all-seeing, all-powerful God who will help us in His time and way. Feeling down or discouraged? Just pray—God hears.
Patrick responds to listeners grappling with family tensions over Catholicism, questions about marriage validity outside the Church, and struggles with how faith affects day-to-day life. Balancing compassion and clarity, he offers practical advice, references canon law, suggests helpful resources, and occasionally shares personal anecdotes. Prayers and honest conversation fill the air as Patrick encourages callers seeking hope and understanding. Dawn (email) - This morning my adult son lashed out in anger at me for being Catholic. I needed to get out of his truck and walk home. (00:46) Michael - Went to the conference with Scott Hahn that you recommended and it was great. (05:03) Joanna – Can I go to a wedding of non-Catholic Christians? (12:11) Jose - I am in a second marriage. I’m not sure if my first one was valid. (20:01) Robert - What is the Mother of Perpetual Help Prayer? (28:21) Kip – Is it wrong to assume that a marriage is valid or invalid? (35:05) Teresa - If a family member is living in sin, can you have them over for Thanksgiving dinner? Am I condoning sin? (43:40)

How we begin our mornings shapes the rest of our day. In our daily prayer and devotional, we are encouraged to reflect on our morning rhythms: Do we tumble out of bed overwhelmed and already anxious, or do we begin the day aware of God’s mercies—fresh, new, and waiting for us at sunrise? Amanda Idleman challenges us to welcome God into our day before anything else. Simple steps—pausing to pray, kneeling beside the bed, reading Scripture before checking messages—invite God’s presence into the earliest moments of our morning. Establishing small but intentional rituals in our homes, such as praying with family before leaving the house, sets a foundation of gratitude and connection with God. God’s mercy meets us daily, but we experience it most fully when we slow down and make space for Him. From the breath in our lungs to the gift of another sunrise, our lives are miracles sustained by His grace. Creating sacred rhythms—prayer, Scripture meditation, meaningful family practices—helps us see His goodness woven into each new day. Today's Bible Reading:“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23 Takeaway Truths God offers new mercies every single morning—fresh grace for every new beginning. Morning habits rooted in prayer and Scripture awaken our hearts to God’s goodness. Intentional rhythms help us recognize that each day is a miracle sustained by His love. Let’s Pray Father, we thank You that You promise to provide new mercies for us every single morning. Help us to grab onto Your mercy and bring it into our everyday lives. Show us the best rhythms and routines we can implement to allow our souls and homes the best chance to connect with You each new day. Grant us the wisdom we need to succeed in embracing Your joy and relishing Your mercy. Let gratitude be a part of our morning routine. Help us not to take for granted the gift that each new day is. Nothing about our lives is an accident. Help me to embrace the purpose You have for my life. Help me to share Your love and grace with those around me. Allow me to be a model of Your mercy to those in my home who watch me start my day. Let my words be ones that point them to You and remind them that You are good. Show us Your ways, Jesus, and teach us Your path. We need You every day. Amen.

In this Bible Story, we are able to read the letter Paul wrote to the Galatian church. Paul, with the love and wisdom of Jesus, implores the Galatian church to stop binding themselves to the law. He encourages them to live under grace and live in the Spirit. This story is inspired by Galatians. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Galatians 1:10 from the King James Version.Episode 231: During his travels, Paul heard about the lies that were being spread in Galatia. He heard about how this false teaching was impacting the church that he loved, so he wrote them a letter. In this letter, he called out the foolishness of this new teaching and reminded them of his own past experiences with the law. He reminded them that it is in Christ that we find our righteousness, not the law.

When life feels peaceful and marriage is running smoothly, it's easy to let your guard down—but what if those "good seasons" are actually when spiritual warfare works most subtly? In this episode, Dr. Kim and Mrs. Nancy talk about how the enemy can creep in through comfort and complacency, why couples should stay spiritually alert even when things feel calm, and how to build rhythms that keep you rooted in God and each other. From prayer and gratitude practices to regular marriage check-ins, we'll explore how to protect your marriage from drifting and use the good seasons as opportunities for growth, connection, and deeper faith. Main Takeaways: Spiritual warfare doesn't stop in the good seasons. Comfort can lead to drift if couples aren't intentional. Good seasons are opportunities for spiritual strengthening. Quotes from This Episode: Complacency is the quiet thief in marriage—it's the gradual drifting apart that happens when you think everything is okay. The enemy attacks most fiercely when we let our guard down in times of comfort; be vigilant, even in the good seasons. Spiritual battles aren't always sudden explosions. Sometimes, it's the everyday neglect that chips away at your relationship, step by step. Your marriage is always on a journey—it's either moving forward or sliding backward. Choose to advance, even if you stumble. Use seasons of peace to intentionally invest and protect your relationship. Couples' Conversation Guide: When things are going really well for us, do you ever notice ways we might start drifting spiritually or emotionally? How can we stay alert together?" Are there small habits or signs you've noticed in our marriage that show we're getting a little complacent? What could we do to course-correct? "During the good seasons, what's one thing we could start doing together—like prayer, gratitude, or reading Scripture—that would help strengthen our marriage and faith?"

Use our FREE Weekly Marriage Check in Guide We gathered all 685 answers, organized them into the top 10 themes, and added 1 practical step for each theme so husbands can better meet their wife's needs.

Warning to the Remnant: Stop Kicking Against the Goads & Learn to Run with the Horses (Jeremiah 12:5) | KIB 506 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this sobering Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 506), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake share a prophetic warning for the remnant—and a deep call to spiritual maturity from Jeremiah 12:5. Mary Lou shares how the Lord interrupted her plans for a "pleasant" Feast of Dedication message and instead commanded her to sound the alarm: those who refuse to leave pagan practices—especially Christmas—will see their infirmities worsen and the enemy's attacks intensify. Dr. Lake then unpacks Jeremiah 12:5, "If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses?" showing how God is using today's pressures to train the remnant to run with the horses of the Kingdom in the dangerous "thickets of the Jordan" in these last days. Along the way they discuss: The emotional "warm fuzzies" and childhood memories the enemy uses to keep believers tied to Christmas The occult, Masonic, and pagan roots of many modern Christmas traditions How commercialization, resonance, music, and nostalgia have been weaponized to keep God's people in bondage Why attacks often intensify when believers resist God's conviction and "kick against the goads" The rising beast system, AI, Nephilim technology, and Nazi/occult influence behind modern advancements How God is using small trials now to strengthen His remnant for greater pressure in the days ahead This is not a message of condemnation, but of warning, mercy, and preparation. God is calling His people to lay aside the stones of Babylon, come out of pagan mixture, and use this "footman season" to deepen prayer, holiness, and endurance—so we're ready to stand in the thickets of Jordan.
Pastor Natalie Morris invites us to picture the awe of God's throne from Revelation and reminds us from Hebrews 4:15-16 that, because of Jesus our High Priest, we can approach God with confidence to receive mercy and grace. She calls us to fix our focus on Him and bring our real needs before His throne.
Stéphanie welcomes Jenny Guinness to discuss the power of prayer. Jenny has been married to Os Guinness for over 50 years. Using the remarkable biography and spiritual journey of James Fraser—a pioneering missionary in China—as the centerpiece, Jenny Guinness draws out key lessons for deepening our own prayer lives. Prayer, as lived out by James Fraser, is an arena of tenacity, faith, and ongoing transformation. It's about keeping the line open to God, partnering deeply with others, and refusing to give up even when answers seem delayed. Through prayer, spiritual strongholds are broken, lives are changed, and God's kingdom advances in unseen and visible ways. If you enjoy this conversation on prayer, consider our Gospel Spice Course on prayer titled "The Heart Behind Prayer." It contains a full array of different videos to inspire you to pray! For more info: https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer Jenny shares about her early exposure to prayer at the Christian community and study center, L'Abri, where prayer was not only valued but strategically woven into daily life. James Fraser exemplified this through his innovative approach: he formed an “entrepreneurial” network of intercessors back in England, tasking them with regular, committed prayers for the Lisu people he was trying to reach in remote China. These prayers were not haphazard; they were systematic and intentional, teaching us that powerful prayer often involves faithful partnership and unwavering commitment across distance and time. A major turning point in Fraser's ministry—and in Jenny Guinness' understanding—came in the realization that demonic oppression wasn't an ancient relic but a present reality for many. Fraser's confrontation with the demonic practices among the Lisu forced him to wrestle with New Testament accounts of spiritual warfare and rely on more than just persuasive words; he learned to battle through persistent, “fighting” prayer anchored in scripture, much like Jesus did when confronted by evil. Fraser's persistence, even in the face of repeated setbacks and unresponsiveness, illustrates that prayer is more than asking for blessings—it is warfare for spiritual breakthrough. Jenny Guinness points out the importance of leaning on the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God during spiritual opposition. Fraser labored for years without visible results among the Lisu, which led to moments of deep discouragement. However, he learned the critical lesson of not giving up, trusting God's timing above his own. Jenny Guinness discusses practical steps when facing unanswered prayer, including honest spiritual “inventory”: humbly asking whether there's unresolved sin, spiritual strongholds, or simply an issue of God's timing at work. Even when prayer seems unanswered, the lesson is to keep the lifeline to God open, trusting His goodness and perfect timing. When discussing Halloween, Jenny Guinness cautions us, that while many cultural celebrations are harmless for children, the spiritual realm is real. Christians are called not to live in fear, but to be wise, discerning, and rooted in biblical truth, aware of ways the enemy seeks footholds. To inform and equip believers for spiritual battles, Jenny Guinness recommends resources by authors such as Francis McNutt, Derek Prince, and Randy Clark. She emphasizes that understanding and engaging in spiritual warfare should be based on biblical principles, wisdom, and community support—not fear or curiosity. Let's commit to the kind of prayer that is persistent, Spirit-led, and shaped by scripture—standing together as the body of Christ even across great distances, for God's glory and the freedom of others. MORE ABOUT OUR COURSE "THE HEART BEHIND PRAYER" There are a few things in our Christian life that we know we should do more, or at least better – and prayer just might top the list. Prayer is a mystery. Why would a conversation with a human have any influence on God's eternal, sovereign plan? It defies logic, and beckons love. How can God, the Almighty Lord of Hosts, be this close, this personal? It defies understanding, and beckons involvement. More at https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer But, lack of time, inspiration, and discipline, combined with the ruthless tyranny of our busy lives, push prayer to the periphery, to the “one day I'll get to it” pile. And yet, we can excel at what we endeavor to undertake. So, why isn't prayer more of a spiritual priority? Could we develop a mindset around prayer that made it attractive, inspiring, even maybe delightful? What if we attuned our spiritual ears to listen to God, and our spiritual eyes to see His provision? As an unassuming student, Stephanie humbly offers to share the little she have learned from others about the joy of prayer. She will give us theology, practical tips, and useful resources, sharing what works for her as we, together, learn to pray. If you find prayer intimidating, or if your lack of prayer makes you feel guilty or “less than,” then this is the place for you! If you have been a student of prayer for many years, this is the place for you too! If you have breath in your lungs, then prayer can become one of the deepest joys of your day. Don't miss out! More at https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer To pray is to believe that God not only hears, but that He responds. It is to stand in the gap for a broken world, wielding the authority of Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and trusting in the goodness of the Father. The question is not whether prayer works, but whether we are willing to pray the kinds of prayers that invite God's Kingdom into the darkest places of the earth—and of our own hearts. We may never fully understand the mechanics of prayer, or how it intersects with God's sovereignty, but we are not called to understand everything. We are called to be faithful. And faithfulness means showing up—in prayer, in persistence, in expectation. So today, let us pray not only for the comfort of our hearts, but for the transformation of the world. Let us take our place as image-bearers, co-laborers, and co-heirs. Let us believe that God is still listening—and still acting. Because He is. There's only one way to find out what might happen when we truly pray like this. More at https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer Stephanie doesn't really know how to pray. She's a humble student and absolute beginner at the holy endeavor that is prayer. So, this course isn't really about what she's learned, or any wisdom she has. But, she's sat at the feet of many prayer warriors over the decades, through books and teachings. So, she will share what she has learned from them. Humility is going to be our primary heart posture! With each lesson, she will offer a few thoughts, practices, and ideas – with much humility, and not taking herself too seriously. She will also share her favorite books and resources about prayer. Also, she will introduce you to some of the most influential prayer warriors of our history as the Body of Christ. Most importantly, she will invite YOU to pray! Learning to pray comes from praying. Our humble ambition is to inspire you to pray, and to give you a few tips on how to do that. Then, it's up to you! Prayer is a lifelong endeavor. Let's make it delightful together!

Romans 8:26-27 — Is prayer really important for every Christian? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that there are Christians who think there is no need to pray. “Trust God since He already knows everything,” they say. When they read Romans 8:26–27, they object: “This makes little sense. God knows all things already. We don't know what to pray for. The Spirit prays for us. What point and purpose is there in praying?” In this sermon on Romans 8:26–27 titled “The Mystery of Prayer,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones offers very practical lessons regarding the mystery of prayer by answering questions about prayer including: “Why do we pray? Who should pray and who should not pray? How do we pray? What are the different types of prayer? What rules do we follow when we pray? What prayers are always acceptable to God? What cautions regarding prayer do we find in Scripture? Can we ever be confident when we pray for certain things?” The answers to these questions on prayer will encourage the Christian's soul as they present their requests before God.

In this episode, we explore the growing controversy over religion in public spaces, from school prayer disputes to the NYPD's hijab demonstrations. We examine how Christians in America face restrictions on expressing their faith in public institutions while other religions are increasingly accommodated—and what that means for the principle of separation of church and state. We also dive into a shocking national security story: the release of Akhirah Bazarov, a wanted terrorist from Uzbekistan, who was granted a commercial driver's license and Real ID in the U.S. This raises alarming questions about federal oversight, immigration policy, and public safety. From religion in schools to failures in our security system, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider the balance between tolerance, law, and American values.
