Mission work is often misunderstood as simply traveling to another country, sharing the gospel, and returning home. But today’s devotional reminds us that true mission work goes much deeper. It involves learning about people groups, understanding culture, building meaningful relationships, and sharing Christ through everyday life in a way that honors and respects those being served. Genuine missions isn’t rushed or surface-level—it’s relational, humble, and rooted in long-term discipleship. The devotional points to Paul’s example as a model for mission work: he lived among people, studied their beliefs, and communicated the truth of Jesus in a way they could understand. That kind of ministry requires wisdom, patience, and dependence on God. And it also requires prayer—both before missionaries leave and while they are serving. Prayer strengthens those who go and those who send, especially because mission trips often come with spiritual opposition. The enemy does not want the gospel to spread, which is why prayer becomes part of the preparation and the protection. If you have loved ones going on a mission trip—or if you’re preparing for one yourself—this devotional is an encouragement that you are not alone. God goes before His people, watches over them wherever they go, and promises not to leave them. That truth brings peace for the traveler and comfort for those who remain at home. Today’s focus is a call to cover missionaries in prayer: for spiritual strength, humility, cultural understanding, protection, and a Christ-like love that shines brightly in every place they serve. Main Takeaways True mission work is relational, humble, and deeply invested in people—not just travel and preaching. Learning culture and showing respect are key parts of effective gospel ministry. Missionaries often face spiritual opposition before and during the trip, making prayer essential. God promises to be with His people wherever they go and to watch over them. Covering missionaries in prayer brings protection, strength, and encouragement for the mission. Today’s Bible Verse: Genesis 28:15 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Please help them take the steps that they need ahead of time… to learn about the culture, and show respect and love to the people when they get there.” You can read the full prayer and devotional at the links below.

Psalm 118 Isaiah 42:1 Prayer Requests to psp@sqpn.com
Waiting on God’s answers can stretch our faith, especially when prayers feel unheard or delayed. Drawing from Matthew 7:7–8, this devotional reframes waiting as part of God’s process—assuring us that He hears every prayer and faithfully responds, even when His answers are still unfolding. Highlights God hears every prayer, even when the answer doesn’t come immediately. Delayed answers don’t mean ignored prayers—sometimes they’re simply “in the queue.” Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 remind us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking. Waiting requires trust in God’s timing, not doubt in His goodness. Scripture repeatedly affirms God’s faithfulness and unchanging character. God’s track record throughout the Bible proves He keeps His promises. A loving Father gives good gifts, even when the wait feels long. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” - Matthew 7:7-8 Something I’ve been learning is the importance of patience in prayer. Often, I expect and hope God to answer right away. I’ll be praying so desperately, hoping to hear His response. When I don’t hear anything, I wonder, God, are You answering my prayer? This happened recently when I was praying for something. What God revealed to me is that He was answering my prayer, but it was still in the queue. Do you remember the days of downloading music? If you downloaded multiple things at once, the computer would download about three, and all the others were in the queue, waiting to be downloaded. I remember how impatient I would feel, eager to listen to these songs. It was a wait. Eventually, though, I would be able to play them. In this illustration, God helped me to understand that sometimes, my prayers are in the queue. God has heard them, He has answered them, but I have to wait for a little while for those answers. They are in the works. Matthew 7:7-8 encourages me that God not only listens to my prayers but answers them. He says that “everyone who asks, receives” (emphasis added). So, when I pray, He responds. Intersecting Faith & Life: What do we do when we are desperate to hear from God? According to this passage in Matthew, we keep praying. We continually seek His help and look for Him. He tells us that He will answer. So, what do we do when our prayers are in the queue? We must learn to patiently wait. We must trust in God as we wait. Scriptures like Psalm 34 and 40 comfort me when I am desperate to hear from the Lord. In Psalm 34, it says, “In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened; he saved me from all my troubles” (Psalm 34:6). David says in Psalm 40:1, “I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.” It goes on to tell of how the Lord helped David and was faithful to him. When we are in need of God’s help and cry out to Him, He will not fail us. We can trust in Him. When we are waiting on God, in that challenging space, how do we know God is trustworthy? We know we can trust God because of His track record and also because of His Word. In the Bible, there are many stories of God’s faithfulness to His people. His Word also tells us of His character: “…And you have done what you promised, for you are always true to your word” (Nehemiah 9:8b). In Psalms, it says, “For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth” (Psalm 33:4-5). God is so good. Following the passage about asking, seeking, and knocking, Jesus says, “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him” (Matthew 7:9-11). We can trust God in the waiting. We can trust Him when our prayers are in the queue. We are assured that He hears every word —that He knows what we need before we even ask Him—and that He answers our prayers (Psalm 34, Matthew 6:8). Lord, Thank You that we can trust You in the waiting, that You are a faithful God. We thank you that You are faithful to answer every prayer. We love you. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Today is day 10 and we are continuing the section on Salvation with question 10. 10. How should you respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

There’s a unique ache that comes from feeling noticed but not truly known. In today’s devotional, the author shares a deeply personal experience of sitting in a separate family worship room at church with her special needs daughter—a space designed for accommodation, but one that often carried the weight of isolation. While people were kind, the deeper sense of being seen, understood, and included still felt out of reach. In that quiet separation, she wrestled with what many of us face in different forms: the longing to belong and to be genuinely known. But what she discovered in that room was this—God met her faithfully. Even when the larger community didn’t fully understand her experience, God’s presence was steady and personal. And that’s where Isaiah 49:16 becomes more than a comforting verse; it becomes a lifeline. God doesn’t merely notice His people from a distance. He has engraved them on the palms of His hands—permanently, intentionally, and intimately. That means your name, your story, your struggles, and your unique life are never out of His sight. The devotional also emphasizes the powerful truth that only God can fill the “God-sized” longing in our hearts—the need to be fully known and deeply loved. People may see the surface. They may overlook the quiet battles you fight or misunderstand your situation. But God sees the whole picture, and He never looks away. Even when your world feels chaotic, unfamiliar, or lonely, you are not invisible to Him. You are known, remembered, and held close—always. Main Takeaways Being noticed isn’t the same as being truly known—and God knows you completely. God’s love is personal and permanent; you are “engraved” on His hands. Your story, struggles, and needs are always before God—He never looks away. The longing to be deeply understood can only be fully satisfied by your Creator. Even when people don’t “get it,” God’s presence remains faithful and near. Today’s Bible Verse: Isaiah 49:16 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “When I feel unknown or misunderstood by the people around me, remind me that You see me completely and love me perfectly.” You can read the full prayer and devotional at the links below.

The Worst Kind of DemonA 41-year-old man, previously indifferent to religion despite a vague belief in God, shares a chilling personal experience that led to his Christian faith. In July of the previous year, his family moved from Calgary to his elderly parents' rural property near Edmonton to help care for his terminally ill father, who was dying of lung cancer after decades of smoking. Shortly after arriving, his mother confided that she had seen a tall, hunched black figure with long fingers and deep black eye pits in her bedroom. Terrified, she began sleeping with the lights on and avoided the room without a dog. The man initially dismissed it as a hallucination related to her health. Weeks later, he began experiencing strange phenomena himself: sensations of bugs crawling all over his body at night (only relieved by sleeping on the couch), followed by nightmares, light poking that escalated to aggressive jabbing, grabbing, squeezing, and pulling. No one else in the family was affected. The encounters intensified. One night on the couch, an invisible large, cold, rough hand with long fingers grabbed his face and forced his head into the pillow, causing pain. When he fought back, he felt something walk along the couch and then grab his ankles; he saw his sweatpants move as if squeezed. Another time in the garage, he felt overwhelming malevolence, a sudden cold, and physical grabs on his thigh and neck. In desperation during the neck grab, he began reciting the Lord's Prayer aloud. The pressure immediately released, warmth returned, and the malevolent feeling vanished. The next day, deeply shaken and sleep-deprived, he contacted his pastor aunt and uncle. They guided him to pray out loud, surrendering his life and soul to Jesus Christ. He did so sincerely. That night, for the first time in months, he slept peacefully with no disturbances. Three weeks later, a final attack occurred: a presence grabbed his head. Though initially paralyzed with fear and unable to speak, he eventually commanded the entity to leave in Jesus' name (as his relatives had instructed). The grip released instantly, though it briefly caused sharp pain in his knee before departing permanently. He describes this as the moment he truly felt God's presence. His father passed away a week later. Afterward, his young son reported feeling watched and getting “bad feelings” at night. The man led his son in the same prayer of surrender to Jesus, and all disturbances in the house ceased completely. Since then, the man reads the Bible daily (sometimes twice), prays multiple times a day, and the family studies scripture together. His son, now ten, reminds him to pray at bedtime. Previously having never opened a Bible and feeling unworthy of redemption due to past mistakes, he now believes both demonic forces and God's protective power are real. He credits prayer and faith in Jesus for his deliverance and ongoing peace.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260109dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 God Made the Down Payment How do you go about paying for a new house? You deposit a portion of the cost for the house up front, right? You make a down payment. However, even though you still haven’t paid in full, you already get to move into the house. You get to live in it and enjoy it. You get to make it your own. You don’t have to wait to pay the full amount to make the house your home. Of course, many years later, when you one day make the final payment on your home, there’s a special joy and satisfaction in knowing the home is completely owned by you. There’s no one else with a claim on it at all anymore. Maybe buying a house can help you understand what God is telling you here in Ephesians chapter 1. When you believe in Jesus, you’re marked with God’s seal—the Holy Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit enters your heart as God’s down payment and guarantees your full future redemption to come. Before reaching your ultimate salvation on the Last Day when you sit at your Lord’s feet in heaven, already now, by faith, the Holy Spirit dwells in your heart. That means you now get to enjoy the blessings of God: to taste his forgiveness, to have a hope that presses you forward, to know a love that has no limit. This is just the down payment that guarantees so much more. Your eternal salvation is sealed already by the Spirit dwelling in you. God guarantees a future for you. The Holy Spirit has made your heart his home, and that means you are God’s special possession today and in eternity. Prayer: Dear Holy Spirit, I thank you for making my heart your home and for guaranteeing me a future with you and the Father and the Son. That you would do this, even for a sinner like me, shouts your praise and glory to the ends of the earth. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

A Prayer for Wanting God's Will by Brooke McGlothlin What happens when God’s answer doesn’t look the way we hoped?In today’s episode by Brooke McGlothlin, we reflect on the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 and a personal journey of obedience that required trusting God in an unexpected place. Through Scripture, story, and prayer, we’re reminded that God’s blessings often come on the other side of humility, surrender, and choosing His way over our own. Reference: 2 Kings 5:14 Prayer: Lord, I don't like the season of life you have me in, and I don't understand why I have to be here. I don't know why you won't make it easier, and my pride is tempting me to take offense at what you're asking me to do. Help me to see things your way. Help me trust you in this moment. Help me to believe you're good and that you're using this time to do something in, for, and maybe even through me. In Jesus' name, amen.

There are seasons of suffering that can make God feel distant—even when we know in our minds that He is real and faithful. This devotional acknowledges that painful experience: moments when anxiety, grief, fear, or spiritual dryness convince us that we’ve been left alone. David voiced these same feelings in Psalm 22 as he faced enemies, isolation, and distress. Yet even in his desperation, David still cried out to God as his strength and help, showing us that feeling abandoned isn’t the same as being abandoned. One of the key truths in today’s devotional is that when God feels far away, the distance is not on His side. God does not leave His people. He remains constant, faithful, and present—yesterday, today, and forever. Often, the shift happens in us: sin, distraction, discouragement, or the slow drift away from prayer and Scripture can make us feel spiritually numb. But even then, God remains ready to forgive, restore, and draw us back close when we turn to Him. So what do we do when we recognize we’ve drifted? We return. We pray. We open His Word again. We choose faith over feelings. Like any relationship, closeness grows through communication, time, and trust. And the devotional reminds us that God’s love is proven—not only by what we feel, but by what He has already done through Jesus Christ. When you can’t sense His presence, you can still anchor yourself in His promises. God is not far away. He is near, attentive, and ready to strengthen you in the middle of deep suffering. Main Takeaways Feeling like God is far away does not mean He has abandoned you. God’s presence is constant—even when your emotions suggest otherwise. Spiritual distance often happens when we drift from prayer, confession, and Scripture. Faith is not based on feelings; it’s rooted in God’s unchanging promises. Drawing close to God through prayer and His Word restores confidence and clarity.
