Podcasts about yet you

Who doesn't love walking into a pottery store and marvelling at artisan's creative works. It's a place lifted and gifted with talents galore. We walk and enjoy finish products some golden glazed, wood fired mugs. Each mug, plate, bowl, clay pot has an original signature style and uniqueness that tells its individual story.We find local artisan's finish products but what about the one's we don't see. The one's deemed for the bin. “Tired and Flawed Pots I believe.”  These pots are not put on display because of imperfection, misshapen, chipped, broken, discarded or invisible. The crafter sought them unworthy and didn't place them in her store. So, you see at most times that's us, tired and flawed. Flawed through disgrace, divorce, abuse, yet God sees deeper. He sees beyond what you or I see. God told Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness,” so Paul said, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10, ESV).So focus on the treasure not the clay pot. “Yet You, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:8 (NIV)Think on these:The woman with the issue of blood – Suffered from bleeding for 12 years but was healed by touching Jesus' garment.The woman with the alabaster jar – Known as a sinful woman, but anointed Jesus with expensive perfume, showing her love and gratitude.The widow who gave two mites – Gave all she had, despite her poverty, and was commended by Jesus.Priscilla and Aquila – Tentmakers who faced adversity but became significant leaders in the early church. The Shunammite woman – Was childless but was blessed with a son through Elisha's prophecy, and later witnessed her son raised from the dead.The servant girl of Naaman's wife – A captive Israelite girl who helped the Syrian commander Naaman find healing from leprosy through the prophet Elisha.The widow of Zarephath – Faced poverty and the death of her son, but experienced God's provision and a miraculous resurrection through Elijah.Eve – Deceived by Satan to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.So, no matter your past, look to Jesus who is your treasure.As you tune in, remember your worth today.

What happens when you're swallowed by your worst nightmare and realize God prepared it just for you? Pastor Dave reveals the shocking truth about Jonah's three-day underwater prison: sometimes the belly of the whale isn't punishment—it's God's Uber back to your purpose. From 2,500 miles in the wrong direction, running from God's call, Jonah discovers that even in the literal depths of hell, prayer changes everything. Dave's raw honesty cuts through our spiritual pretenses: "You go to the phone instead of the throne, to Facebook instead of His book," while we wonder why our prayers feel powerless. The revelation isn't complicated—when trapped in life's storms, you pray to the right God, cry out loud with desperate faith, and worship Him before you see the breakthrough. Jonah's transformation from complainer to worshiper triggered his miraculous deliverance to dry land, right back where his journey should have started. Your situation will change when you change, but it requires abandoning worthless idols and embracing the sacrifice of thanksgiving even in your darkest hour. Stop running from God's voice—He's ready to speak one word that will vomit you out of whatever whale has swallowed your dreams and place you exactly where your destiny awaits.Jonah 2:1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish's belly.2 And he said: “I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, And He answered me. “Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice.3 For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.4 Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.'5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head.6 I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God.7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple.8 “Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” 10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

What if most of our defeats happen before we ever start the fight — because we couldn't see the outcome? Graham Cooke opens a new arc on the anatomy of a good fight, walking us through the three areas of our lives that have to align with God's intentionality: perception, mindset, and language. Discover why intimacy is the most intimidating thing we bring into any battle, and why worship is our weapon against the enemy's first tactic.Key Scriptures:+ 1 Timothy 6:12. "Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." + 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard... God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." + 1 Samuel 17:45. "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts." + Psalm 22:3. "Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel."

When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:3-5)

Taste and See that the Lord is Good UOL Retreat in Philadelphia PA on 3/28/2026 In this episode, we look at how the Church's pre- and post-Communion prayers prepare us not just to receive the Eucharist, but to be changed by it. They help us see our need, turn us toward God, and then teach us how to carry His presence into daily life. Communion becomes not just something we receive, but something we learn to live. --- PRE-COMMUNION PRAYERS (UOC-USA PRAYER BOOK) Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, have mercy on us. Glory to You, our God, glory to You. Prayer to the Holy Spirit О Heavenly King, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth, everywhere present and filling all things.

Come, let us worship and bow down before Christ our King and our God. Come, let us worship and bow down before Christ Himself, our King and our God. Psalm 22 The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want. He settles me in a place of green grass; beside restful water He leads me. He restores my soul; He guides me on the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake. For even if I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil because You are with me. Your rod and Your staff comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil and my cup overflows. Behold, Your mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will live in the house of the Lord for the length of my days. Psalm 23 The earth is the Lord's and all its fullness, the world and all who live in it. For He has founded it above the seas and prepared it above the waters. Who will ascend into the mountain of the Lord and who will stand in His holy place? One whose hands are harmless and whose heart is pure, who has not received his soul in vain and has not sworn deceitfully to his neighbor. He will receive blessing from the Lord and mercy from God his Savior. This is the kind who seek the Lord, who seek the Face of the God of Jacob. Lift up your gates, you rulers and be lifted up, you eternal doors and the King of Glory will come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory. Psalm 115 I kept my Faith even when I said I am greatly afflicted. I said in my amazement: "Every person is a liar!" What shall I give to the Lord for all that He has given me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all His people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Lord, I am Your servant – and the child of Your handmaiden. You have burst my bonds apart. I will offer to You the sacrifice of praise and I will call upon the Name of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people, in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, Jerusalem. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. Alleluia, alleluiа, alleluia, glory to You, our God. (3 times) Tropar, Tone 8 Lord, born of a Virgin, overlook my faults, purify my heart and make it a temple for Your Spotless Body and Blood. Cast me not from Your presence for You have infinitely great mercy. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;How can I who am unworthy, dare to come to the Communion of Your Holy Things? For even if I should dare to approach You with those who are worthy, my garment betrays me, for it is not a festal robe and I shall bring about the condemnation of my sinful soul. Lord, Lover of mankind, cleanse the pollution from my soul and save me. Now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.Great is the multitude of my sins, Birth-Giver of God. To you, Pure One, I flee and implore salvation. Visit my sick and feeble soul and intercede with Your Son and our God, that He may grant me remission of my sins, for You alone are blessed. First Prayer – Saint Basil the Great Lord and Master, Jesus Christ our God, Wellspring of Life and Immortality, Maker of every visible and invisible thing, Co-eternal and Co-everlasting Son of the Everlasting Father: in the abundance of Your Goodness, You were incarnate in these latter times, and crucified and buried for us ungrateful and graceless people. Through Your own Blood You have renewed our nature corrupted by sin. Immortal King, though I am a sinner, accept my repentance, incline Your Ear to me and hearken to my words. I have sinned before heaven and before Your Countenance and I am not worthy to gaze upon the immensity of Your Glory. For I have provoked Your Goodness, I have transgressed Your commandments and I have not obeyed Your ordinances. But, Lord, since You do not remember evil, but are long suffering and have great mercy, You have not given me over to destruction for my lawlessness, but have continually awaited my conversion. For You, Lover of Mankind have said through Your prophet, "I desire not the death of sinners, but that they may turn from their evil ways and live." Because You do not wish, Master, that the work of Your Hands should perish, neither, do You take pleasure in the destruction of humanity. Rather, You desire that all people should be saved and come to a knowledge of the Truth. Therefore, even I, though I am unworthy of heaven, earth and of this transitory life, having given myself completely to sin becoming a slave to pleasure and defiling Your Image – yet being Your creation – I despair not of my salvation in my wretchedness. But, emboldened by Your infinite Compassion, I draw near. Therefore, Loving Christ, receive me also as You received the harlot, the thief, the publican and the prodigal. Take away the heavy burden of my sins, You Who take away the sins of the world, Who heal all human infirmity, Who call to Yourself those who are weary and heavy-laden, granting them rest. You came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Cleanse me from every stain of flesh and spirit and teach me to achieve perfect holiness in fear of You, that receiving my share of Your sacred things, I may be united to Your Holy Body and Blood and may have You dwell and abide in me with the Father and Your Holy Spirit. Yes, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, may the partaking of Your Most Pure and Life-Giving Mysteries bring me not to condemnation, nor may I partake unworthily of them. Grant that I, even to my final breath, may receive my share of Your sacred things without condemnation and thereby receive communion with the Holy Spirit as a provision for the journey to eternal life and an acceptable defense before Your Dread Judgment Seat. Lord, grant that I, together with all Your elect, may also be a partaker of immaculate good things which You have prepared for those who love You, with whom You abide and are glorified to the ages. Amen. Second Prayer — Saint John Chrysostom Lord my God, I know that I am not sufficiently worthy that You should come under the roof of the house of my soul, for it is entirely desolate and fallen in ruin and You cannot find in me a worthy place for Your head. But, as You humbled Yourself from on high for our sake, humble Yourself not to the measure of my lowliness. As You took it upon Yourself in the cave to lie in the manger for dumb animals, so take it upon Yourself now to enter into the manger of my ignorant soul and into my defiled body. Since You did not disdain to enter and eat with sinners in the house of Simon the Leper, so take it upon Yourself to likewise enter also into the house of my humble, leprous and sinful soul. As You did not cast out the harlot, a sinner much like me, who came and touched You, so have compassion on me, a sinner, coming to touch You. Since You did not detest the kiss of her sin-stained and unclean mouth, detest not my mouth, which is stained even worse and more unclean than hers as well as my sordid, unclean and shameless lips, nor my even more unclean tongue. Let the fiery coal of Your Most Pure Body and of Your Precious Blood bring me the sanctification, enlightenment and strengthening of my humble soul and body, a relief from the burden of my many transgressions, protection against every operation of the Devil, an aversion and hindrance of my base and evil habits, a mortification of my passions, an accomplishment of your Commandments, an increase in Your divine Grace and an entrance into Your Kingdom. For I do not come to You, Christ my God, in presumption, but having been given full confidence by Your Ineffable Goodness, I approach, lest I stray far from Your communion and become the prey of the wolf of souls. Therefore, I pray, Master Who alone are Holy; sanctify both my soul and body, my mind and heart and my emotions and affections. Renew me entirely, implant Your Fear in my members and make Your sanctification indelible within me. Be my helper and foundation, govern my life in peace and make me worthy to stand at your right hand with Your saints. Through the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother, the pure and immaterial Powers that always serve You and of all the saints who have been well pleasing to You from the ages. Amen. Third Prayer – Saint Simeon the Translator Only Pure and Spotless Lord, Jesus Christ, Wisdom of God, Peace and Power: moved by Your ineffable mercy and love for all mankind, You took up our whole nature from the chaste and virginal blood of the one who wondrously conceived You through the coming of the Holy Spirit and by the favor of Your Eternal Father. In that nature you took it upon Yourself to undergo Your life-giving and saving Passion – the cross, the nails, the spear and death itself. Mortify in me the soul-destroying passions of the body. As you despoiled the dominion of Hades in the tomb, bury in me the spirit of evil. You raised fallen Adam through Your life-bearing Resurrection - so raise me for I am immersed in sin and counsel me in the ways of repentance. You made divine the flesh You assumed and honored it on Your Throne at the Right Hand of the Father in Your Glorious Ascension. By the communion of Your Holy Mysteries make me worthy of a place at Your Right Hand with the saved. You made Your sacred disciples precious vessels by the coming of the Comforter, the Spirit – confirm me also to be a receptacle of His Coming. You promised to come again to judge the world in righteousness – grant that I shall go to meet You in the clouds with all Your saints. For You have made and formed me that I may unceasingly praise and chant hymns to You with Your Eternal Father and Your All-Holy, Good and Life-Creating Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. Fourth Prayer – Saint Simeon the Translator Christ my God, as though standing before Your Dread Judgment Seat which does not regard personalities awaiting judgment and rendering an account of the evils I have committed: so today before the day of my condemnation appears, I stand before Your Holy Altar in Your Sight and in the Sight of Your awesome and holy angels. Bowed low by my own conscience, I offer my wicked and lawless actions, triumphing over them by declaring them. Lord, I know my iniquities have increased beyond the number of hairs on my head. The multitude of Your loving kindness is immeasurable and the mercy of Your Goodness and Forbearance beyond description and there is no sin which overcomes Your love for all mankind. Therefore, all marvelous King and merciful Lord, cause Your wondrous mercy to touch even me, a sinner. Receive me, a sinner, as I return to You, as You received the prodigal, the thief and the harlot. As You received those who came at the eleventh hour unworthily, so receive me also, a sinner. I know that You will set these sins I have committed before me and require an accounting of the sins which I have knowingly and unpardonably committed, but neither convict me with fitting judgment, nor chastise me in Your Anger. Lord have mercy on me for though I am weak, I am also the work of Your Hands. You have granted me to revere You, Lord, but I have done evil in Your Sight. Against You only have I sinned, but I beg You, Lord, judge not Your servant for if You will severely mark iniquity, who will survive it? For I am in a sea of sin and am neither worthy nor sufficient to behold and gaze upon the height of heaven for the multitude of my innumerable sins. Who will raise me up? Who has fallen into such evils and transgressions? Lord God, in You have I hoped. Have mercy on me, God, according to Your great mercy and do not reward me, as my deeds deserve. Rather convert, uphold and deliver my soul from the evils implanted in it and from fearsome designs. I will praise and glorify You all the days of my life. For You are the God of those who repent and we glorify You with Your Father without beginning and Your All Holy, Good and Life-Creating Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. Fifth Prayer – Saint John of Damascus Lord and Master Jesus Christ our God, You alone have the power to absolve sin. Because You are Good and love all mankind, forgive all my iniquities committed in knowledge or in ignorance. Make me worthy to partake without condemnation of Your divine, glorious, pure and life creating Mysteries, that I may incur neither punishment nor an increase in my sins, but receive cleansing, sanctification, a pledge of the Life and the Kingdom to come, protection, an aid, a turning aside of my adversaries and the blotting out of my many transgressions. For You are a God of Mercy, Loving Kindness and Love for all mankind and we glorify You Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. Sixth Prayer – Saint Basil the Great Lord, I know that I partake unworthily of Your Pure Body and Your Precious Blood, my Christ and my God. Yet emboldened by Your Loving Kindness I come to You for You have said, "Those who eat My Flesh and drink My Blood abide in Me and I in them." Therefore, be merciful, Lord and do not rebuke me, a sinner, but deal with me according to Your mercy. And let these Holy Things afford me healing, cleansing, enlightenment, protection, sanctification of soul and body, the averting of every fantasy, evil practice and operation of the devil which works within me. Let them give me confidence and love for You, amendment of life and perseverance, an increase in perfection and virtue, the fulfillment of Your Commandments, communion of the Holy Spirit and a provision for the journey to eternal life and an acceptable answer at Your Dread Judgment Seat, but neither for judgment nor condemnation. Amen. Seventh Prayer - Saint Symeon the New Theologian From lips besmirched and heart impure, from unclean tongue and sin stained soul, receive my pleas, my Christ. Neither overlook my words, my way of speech, nor my annoyingly persistent cry. Grant me the boldness to express all the things for which I long, my Christ, and teach me all that it is fitting for me to do and say. More than the harlot have I sinned. When she learned where You were visiting she brought myrrh, boldly came there and anointed Your Feet. As You, Divine Word, did not cast her out when she came in eagerness of heart, detest me not. Rather give me Your Feet, I pray, for my embrace and my kiss. With the torrent of my tears, as with an ointment of great price, let me dare to anoint them. Purify me, O Word, in my own tears and cleanse me with them. Forgive my errors; grant pardon, for You know the multitude of my sins. You also know the wounds I bear. You see the bruises of my soul. Yet You know my faith, You see my eager heart and hear my sighs. From You, my God, Creator and Redeemer, not one tear is hidden, nor even part of one. Your Eyes know my imperfection, for in Your Book are found those things which are yet unfashioned. Behold my lowliness; behold how great is my weariness. Then God of the entire world, grant me release from all my sins, that with a clean heart and conscience filled with holy fear and a contrite soul, I may partake of Your most pure and spotless Mysteries. The one who eats and drinks with a pure heart has life and divinity. For You have said, my Master, that "those who eat of My Flesh and drink of My Blood do indeed abide in Me and I am likewise found in them." My Master and my God, this saying of Christ is completely true. For one who shares in these Divine and Deifying Graces is not alone, but is with You, Christ, the Triple Radiant Light Who enlightens the whole world. You see that for this I have drawn near to You with tears and contrite soul. Thus, I dare to hope in Your good deeds for us, I partake – both rejoicing and trembling – for I am but grass in fire and behold, a strange wonder! I am refreshed with dew, beyond all words, just as in ancient times the bush burning with fire was not consumed. Therefore, thankful in mind and heart, thankful with all my body and all my soul I worship You, magnify and glorify You, my God for You are blessed both now and to all the ages. Amen. Eighth Prayer - Saint John Chrysostom Lord Jesus Christ, my God, absolve, remit, forgive and pardon me, of all the errors, transgressions and trespasses which I have committed before You – whether in knowledge or in ignorance, in words, deeds, thoughts or intentions. Through the intercession of Your All-Pure Mother, Your heavenly hosts and all the saints, who through the ages have been faithful to You, count me worthy to partake without condemnation of Your Holy and Precious Body and Blood for the healing of both soul and body and for the elimination and the cleansing of my evil thoughts. For Yours is the Kingdom, the Power, the Glory, the Honor and the Worship of the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. Ninth Prayer – Saint John of Damascus I stand before the doors of Your temple and I refrain not from evil thoughts. But You, Christ my God, justified the tax collector: You showed mercy to the woman of Canaan and opened the Gates of Paradise to the Thief. Open to me the depths of Your love for all mankind and receive me as I draw near and touch You, even as You did the harlot and the woman with the issue of blood. The latter merely touched the hem of Your garment and immediately received healing and the former, clinging to Your Pure Feet, obtained the release from her sins. But, I in my pitiful state, dare to receive Your Whole Body. May I not be consumed, but receive me even as You received those others and enlighten the feelings of my soul, cleansing my sins; through the prayers of the one who gave You birth without seed and of the heavenly powers, for You are blessed to the ages of ages. Amen. POST-COMMUNION PRAYERS (UOC-USA PRAYER BOOK) Glory to You, O God! (3 times) Lord my God, I thank You that You have not rejected me, a sinner, but have allowed me to be a partaker of Your Holy Things.  I thank You that You have permitted me, though unworthy, to have a share in Your Most Pure and Heavenly Gifts. Master and Lover of Mankind, Who for our sake died and rose again and gave us these Awe-inspiring and Life-giving Mysteries for the benefit and sanctification of our souls and bodies: let these Gifts be for the healing of my own soul and body, for the averting of every adversary, the illumination of the eyes of my heart, the peace of my spiritual powers, an unashamed faith, an unfeigned love, the realizing of wisdom, the observance of Your Commandments, the receiving of Your Divine Grace and the inheritance of Your Kingdom. Preserved by them in Your holiness, may I always be mindful of Your Grace, no longer living for myself, but for You, our Master and Benefactor.  May I then pass from this life in the hope of Eternal Life and attain to the Everlasting Rest where the voice of those who feast is unceasing and the unending delight of those who behold the beauty of Your Face is inexpressible. For You, Christ our God, are truly the ineffable joy and desire of all those who love You and all creation sings Your praise to the ages of ages. Amen. Second Prayer following Communion By Saint Basil the Great I thank You, Christ, Master and God, King of the Ages and Maker of All Things, for all the Good Gifts You have given me and especially for the participation in Your Most Pure and Life-creating Mysteries. Therefore, I pray, Gracious Lord, Who loves all mankind, that You preserve me under Your protection and beneath the shadow of Your Wings. Grant that even to my final breath, I may partake worthily and with a pure conscience of Your Holy Things for the remission of my sins and for Eternal Life. For You are the Bread of Life, the Wellspring of Holiness, the Giver of all Good and we glorify You, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. Third Prayer following Communion By Saint Simeon the Translator You Who willingly give Your Flesh to me as Food, Who are a Fire burning the unworthy; let me not be consumed, my Creator. Rather, enter into all my members – my joints, my inner being and my heart. Burn the thorns of my iniquities. Purify my soul and sanctify my reasoning.  Strengthen my joints and bones. Enlighten my five senses. Bind me completely with reverence for You. Always shelter, guard and keep me from every soul-corrupting word and deed. Cleanse, purify and harmonize my being. Beautify me, grant me understanding and enlighten me. Show me to be the Habitation of Your One Holy Spirit and no longer the abode of sin, that having become Your Dwelling Place because of the Communion of Your Holy Mysteries, every evil deed and passion may flee from me as from fire. As intercessors, I bring all the Saints: the leaders of the Bodiless Hosts, Your Forerunner, the Most Wise Apostles and with them, Your undefiled, Most-pure Mother. Accept their prayers Christ, my Merciful One and make me a Child of Light. For You, Good One, are the only Sanctification and Enlightenment of our souls and to You, as God and Master, we worthily render glory day by day. Amen. Fourth Prayer following Communion May Your Holy Body, Lord Jesus Christ our God, be for me Life Eternal and Your Precious Blood for the remission of my sins. May this Eucharist grant me joy, health and gladness. At Your Dread Second Coming make me, a sinner, worthy to stand at the Right Hand of Your Glory, through the intercessions of Your All-pure Mother and of all Your saints. Fifth Prayer following Communion To the Birth-Giver of God All Holy Lady, Birth-Giver of God, light of my darkened soul – my hope, my shelter and refuge, my consolation and joy; I thank you for accepting me, the unworthy one, as a communicant of the Most-pure Body and Precious Blood of your Son. In that you gave birth to the True Light, enlighten the intellectual eyes of my heart. As the one who carried the Fountain of Immortality in your womb, enliven me, slain by sin. Merciful Mother of the Most-merciful God, full of loving kindness, have mercy on me, grant me contrition and compunction of heart, humility in my thoughts, and the ability to recall my reasoning from its captivity. Make me worthy, until my final breath, to receive the sanctification of the Most Pure Mysteries without condemnation, for healing of soul and body. Grant me tears of repentance and confession, that I may chant hymns and glorify You all the days of my life, for blessed and glorified are You to the ages. Amen. Master, now let Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the presence of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to Your people Israel. Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (3 times) Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. All-Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our transgressions. Holy One, visit us and heal our infirmities for Your Name's sake. Lord, have mercy. (3 times) Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Psalm 91:11–12 (NIV): “For He will command His angels concerning you… they will lift you up in their hands…” Salmo 91:11–12 — “Ele dará ordens aos Seus anjos… eles o sustentarão em suas mãos…” “Goodness and mercy will follow me.” / “Bondade e misericórdia me seguirão.” / “Bondad y misericordia me seguirán.” Matthew 11:28 (NIV): “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Mateus 11:28 — “Venham a Mim… e Eu lhes darei descanso.” Jesus, as night wraps itself around this hour, I come to You tired, aware of the weight I carried today. Some of it I understand. Some of it I cannot name. Yet You see every part of it — cada carga, cada lágrima, cada respiração pesada. Señor Jesús, meet me here. I cannot hold everything anymore, but You can. I cannot solve everything tonight, but You remain my descanso, meu descanso, mi descanso. Send Your angels, as Your Word promises, to steady what shakes inside me and lift what still feels too heavy. Calm my nerves. Soothe my emotions. Quiet the places of my heart that still tremble from the day. Wrap my mind in Your paz profunda, paz suave, paz verdadera. Let every anxious thought lose its power as Your presence fills the room where I rest. Jesus, hold me through this night — segure-me, abrázame — carry what my strength cannot carry. Where I feel overwhelmed, breathe peace into me. Where I feel abandoned, remind me that You are near. Where I feel weak, let Your strength steady me. Where fear whispers, silence it with the tenderness of Your voice. Cover my sleep. Guard my home. Stand at every doorway. Surround my dreams with Your protection so no shadow, no memory, no fear can disturb what You are healing within me. Jesus, tonight I surrender the weight. I surrender the pressures. I surrender the unspoken things. Hold me close, anchor my breathing, and give me rest that restores everything tomorrow will require of me.

The hours behind me now speak loudly: unfinished tasks, unexpected conversations, pressures that stretched my mind and challenged my peace. Yet You meet me at this turning point of the day with a promise that steadies everything: You are working in all things. Not some things. All things. Propósito divino. Descanso emocional. You gather the fragments of this day and form purpose out of what felt scattered. You bring meaning into places that seemed unimportant or overwhelming only hours ago. Jesus, as the light begins to fade, let my heart rest from striving. Lift the heaviness of self-dependence. Remove the quiet discouragement that tries to settle in the evening hours. Let my spirit release what I cannot control and what I was never meant to carry alone. Teach me to commit my way to You—not just the big decisions, but the subtle concerns that cling tightly to the heart. Esperança do entardecer. Evening hope. Let hope rise as the day winds down, reminding me that You hold everything I have lived through today. I pray for every listener moving into their evening in Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Cabo Verde, Mozambique, Colombia, the Americas, and across Europe. For those whose day was heavy; for those who felt pushed beyond their emotional reserves; for those carrying private burdens—let this moment become a gentle turning of the soul back toward You. Strengthen what is weary. Restore what is stretched thin. Bring a deep rest that begins not in sleep, but in surrender. Jesus, teach me to look at this day not through the lens of failure or pressure, but through the lens of Your purpose. You waste nothing. You lose nothing. You transform everything. Let the evening hours become a sanctuary of trust where I learn again that You are the God who sees, the God who sustains, the God who turns burdens into pathways of grace. As night approaches, steady my heart, renew my strength, and calm my mind in Your faithful presence. Amém.

The early hours can bring unexpected thoughts, worries rising before the day even begins. Yet You promise paz que governa — peace that rules, peace that protects, peace that guards every anxious place within us. Guard our minds this morning, Jesus. Place Your peace between us and every intrusive thought. For every listener in Brasília, Lisboa, Huambo, Maputo, Santiago, and across the nations, bring clarity where confusion tries to settle. Bring rest where inner tension tries to take hold. Let the heart that feels unsettled find its ground again in Your presence — tão presente, tão seguro — so present, so secure. You tell us not to be anxious, but to bring everything to You in prayer. So here we are, placing each concern, each appointment, each challenge, each unknown moment of today into Your hands. Govern our thoughts before they run ahead of us. Guide our emotions before they become heavy. Shape our reactions before circumstances shape us. Jesus, let Your peace be more than a feeling — let it be a shield. Guarding. Holding. Surrounding. A divine calm that does not come from circumstance, but from Your steady and faithful heart. Where the mind is racing, slow it gently. Where fear is whispering, silence it. Where we feel overwhelmed before the day has even begun, lift that weight softly and remind us that we are not walking into today alone. Jesus, guard our minds.

Some carry tired minds, some hold unspoken concerns, and some simply long for quiet. Yet You promise força renovada — renewed strength — for those who wait on You, and tonight we rest in that promise. For listeners in Belo Horizonte, Lisboa, Huambo, Pemba, Los Angeles, and across the nations, draw near with descanso seguro — safe rest — the kind that settles the heart and steadies the spirit. Where exhaustion has pressed heavily, breathe fresh strength. Where thoughts resist peace, calm them. Where the day has taken more than expected, restore what was drained. Your Word tells us that we can hold to hope without wavering, because Your faithfulness does not change with the hours or the seasons. In this late moment of the night, remind every listening heart that You are steady, You are present, and You are faithful. Let fidelidade eterna — eternal faithfulness — surround every tired place and every weary emotion. Jesus, prepare my spirit for rest. Renew what the day has depleted. Restore what the pressures have taken. Quiet the noise inside me and strengthen the places that feel thin.

Some hours were heavy, some moments felt overwhelming, and some thoughts linger longer than I want them to. So I pause here and ask for força renovada, renewed strength, that flows from Your presence alone. In these evening moments, the heart often feels the weight before the mind catches up. Yet You step into this hour with descanso emocional, emotional rest, reminding me that I don't have to finish the day in my own strength. You steady the places inside me where fatigue has settled. You quiet the noise that has been building throughout the afternoon. You breathe hope into the parts of me that feel worn. Jesus, lift the pressure. Let esperança da noite, evening hope, rise gently within me. Let Your nearness become the atmosphere around me. Renew me from the inside out. Strengthen me where I feel weak.

At 6PM, the weight of the day becomes clearer — conversations that drained me, tasks unfinished, emotions stretched, decisions still waiting for attention. Yet You promise that those who love You are not left to carry their burdens alone. You rescue, You protect, and You lean toward the weary with compassion that does not diminish. Let força restaurada, restored strength, begin to rise within me. Take the strain that sits heavy on my shoulders and replace it with the steadiness of Your presence. Jesus, breathe into the cracks of this day — the moments I felt overwhelmed, the frustrations that linger, the pressure I could not shake. Lift them from me gently and completely. Let descanso profundo, deep rest, shape my spirit as the day begins its closing. Quiet the anxieties that try to run on in my mind. Calm the tension that hides beneath the surface. Draw me into the truth that You care for every concern I release to You. Be my presença que sustenta, sustaining presence, the One who steadies my heart when I feel unanchored. Meet me in this hour not with demands, but with grace that restores what I lost throughout the day. And let esperança renovada, renewed hope, fill the corners of my heart that fatigue has dimmed. Jesus, as evening comes, I cast every anxiety onto You — not because I am strong, but because You care for me with a love that rescues and protects. Restore my strength tonight. Amém.

You know the vale profundo — the deep valley — that each of us walks through at some point. Sometimes it is a memory. Sometimes it is a fear. Sometimes it is simply the weight of being human.

Hope that is steady, anchored, and not dependent on the circumstances of this day. Let it lift my spirit above the fears that whisper in the night.

Across Curitiba, Funchal, Lubango, Nampula, and Delhi, people are stepping into moments that require clarity, wisdom, and courage.

Where uncertainty has clouded the mind, bring a clear path. Where fear has complicated choices, bring the peace that settles confusion.

Evening has a way of uncovering the emotions buried beneath the noise of the day, and some hearts come into this hour carrying unease, heaviness, or a quiet fear that will not shift on its own. Yet You speak directly into this moment with a promise of answer, presence, and help. You do not dismiss the cry of a troubled heart; You come close to it. So tonight, Jesus, for every listener who feels their emotions swirling like wind and waves, step into their inner world with calm that only You can bring. Let the restless thoughts settle, one by one. Let the anxious breathing slow. Let the mind feel held and the heart feel supported. Where someone feels overwhelmed by the pressures of life, lift the weight gently. Where another feels alone in their struggle, surround them with the certainty that You have heard their cry long before they found words to pray. And for the one facing the night with trembling, meet them with Your steadying peace. Jesus, speak into the storm inside each listener with the authority of Your presence and let them sense, even in this moment, that they are not lost, not forgotten, and not without hope. night pain • inner storm • Jesus brings calm • emotional peace • divine nearness Psalm 91, Night Storm Prayer, Brazil Devotional, Jesus Brings Calm, Emotional PeaceSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

For many, the morning arrives with a mind already crowded, a heart that feels tired, and responsibilities waiting before strength has returned. Yet You speak of a covering, a place beneath Your wings where refuge becomes real and peace becomes more than a hope. So this morning, Jesus, let Your presence settle over every listener who feels overwhelmed before sunrise. Let the anxious thoughts that rise at dawn be met by the calm of Your nearness. Where the heart feels heavy, lift it gently. Where sleep did not restore what was lost, breathe new life into weary places. For the one waking in Recife unsure of how the day will unfold, or the person in Benguela who carries yesterday's concerns into today, remind them that they do not step into this morning alone. Wrap their thoughts in Your peace and steady their emotions with Your care. Let every person listening sense that under Your wings there is room for their fears, their hopes, and their unspoken burdens.

Yet You speak a word that softens all of it: You have given us a sound mind, steadied by Your Spirit, strengthened in Your peace. Jesus, steady me now. Silence the voices that push me into worry before the day has truly begun. Where fear tries to settle into my thinking, replace it with quiet courage. Where doubts whisper that I cannot handle what is ahead, remind me that I do not face this day alone. Guide my thoughts into clarity, so that decisions are not made from panic but from the calm that comes from being held in Your presence. Let Your love anchor me so firmly that the arrows of stress, expectation, and pressure lose their power to shake me. As the hours unfold, walk with me into each moment. Strengthen my mind so I don't crumble under what feels overwhelming. Lift my spirit so I rise above discouragement. Surround my emotions with the gentleness of Your peace. Help me breathe in the truth that You go with me, before me, and around me, shaping my steps and steadying my heart. Jesus, hold me steady as this day begins, and let Your Spirit lead me through every challenge with strength and grace. manhã oração, clareza mental, Psalm 91 devotional, força espiritual, ansiedade matinal, Jesus sustains, esperança Brasil, clarity prayer, spiritual steadiness, Portuguese Christian devotional Brazil morning devotional, Psalm 91 prayer, 2 Timothy 1:7 encouragement, sound mind prayer, emotional pressuSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Psa 8:5  Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!Psa 8:6  You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,Psa 8:7  All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field,Psa 8:8  The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.Psa 8:9  O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-6 - When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet.

Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. – Psalm 22:3

Welcome to Day 2557 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2557 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 44:17-26 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2557 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2557 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we'll be concluding our exploration of Psalm 44 by focusing on verses 17 through 26 from the New Living Translation. Psalm 44 is a heartfelt and raw psalm of lament, where the psalmist reflects on God's faithfulness in the past but struggles with present suffering and apparent silence from God. In these final verses, we see a deep cry for deliverance and a powerful reminder that even in the midst of unexplainable suffering, we can confidently turn to God. Let's begin by reading the passage together: Psalm 44:17-26 (NLT) 17 All this has happened though we have not forgotten You. We have not violated Your covenant. 18 Our hearts have not deserted You. We have not strayed from Your path. 19 Yet You have crushed us in the jackal's desert home. You have covered us with darkness and death. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread our hands in prayer to foreign gods, 21 God would surely have known it, for He knows the secrets of every heart. 22 But for Your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep. 23 Wake up, O Lord! Why do You sleep? Get up! Do not reject us forever. 24 Why do You look the other way? Why do You ignore our suffering and oppression? 25 We collapse in the dust, lying face down in the dirt. 26 Rise up! Help us! Ransom us because of Your unfailing love. Faithfulness Amid Suffering (Verses 17-19) The psalmist begins this section with a remarkable declaration: “All this has happened though we have not forgotten You. We have not violated Your covenant.” Despite their intense suffering, the psalmist asserts that the people have remained faithful to God. They haven't turned away from Him or abandoned His covenant, yet they're still experiencing crushing trials. In verse 18, the psalmist reinforces this point: “Our hearts have not deserted You. We have not strayed from Your path.” This heartfelt plea emphasizes the seeming contradiction between their faithfulness and their suffering. By verse 19, the psalmist vividly describes their plight: “Yet You have crushed us in the jackal's desert home. You have covered us with darkness and death.” This section highlights one of the most challenging aspects of faith: remaining steadfast when suffering doesn't make sense. The psalmist doesn't sugarcoat the pain or pretend to understand why it's happening, but he continues to direct his questions and concerns to God. Illustration: I once heard a story about a young missionary who faced relentless hardship while serving in a remote area....

Hey Friend, Have you ever felt like you've tried every diet, every workout, and every so-called quick fix, yet the weight refuses to budge—or comes right back when it does? You're not alone, and more importantly, it's not your fault. In my latest podcast episode, “Weight Loss: The Basics and How to Lose Weight, Even When You've Tried Everything Under the Sun”, I share why so many weight loss efforts fail and what's really going on beneath the surface. Hint: it's not just about calories or willpower—it's about addressing the root causes through a functional medicine lens. For many Christian women, hormonal imbalances (beyond just estrogen and progesterone) play a key role in stubborn weight gain, low energy, and even bloating. In this episode, I dive into how your body's communication system—including cortisol, thyroid health, and blood sugar balance—impacts your ability to lose weight and feel your best. I also share practical steps to start rebalancing your body naturally, along with encouragement rooted in Biblical wisdom. Because when we approach health the way God designed, amazing things happen.

Hello Friend, Have you ever been told, “Your blood tests are normal,” but deep down you know something isn't right? It's one of the most frustrating things to hear, especially when you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or other unexplained symptoms. Here's the truth: those “normal” lab results might still hold valuable clues about your health—if you know where to look. Your CBC panel, a test you've probably already had done, includes five key markers that can reveal so much about what's really going on inside your body. In this week's episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I break down the CBC differential and explain how Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils, and Monocytes can provide insight into your immune function, inflammation, and even chronic stress. I'll show you why this simple test is often the best starting place for uncovering the root cause of your symptoms—and how you can use it to take the first step toward feeling better. In health, Lacy Lain, FMCHC, LEHP P.S. If you've ever felt dismissed by conventional doctors, I made this episode with you in mind. Let's start finding the answers your body is trying to tell you.

Hey friend, Today's podcast episode is extra special—I'm sharing the heart behind a big change and what it means for you. If you've been with me for a while, you might've noticed the podcast's new name: Functional Medicine for Christian Women. Why the shift? It's simple: I want to be upfront about the Biblical foundation that shapes everything I do. As I've reflected on my mission, God's calling has become clear—this is more than just health advice. It's about helping you care for your body as an act of worship and obedience, grounded in His design and through a functional medicine lens. In this episode, I talk about: Why our health is a spiritual calling, not just a physical one. The connection between your faith and your physical healing. How this new focus will inspire and equip you to reclaim your health—and your God-given purpose. Whether you've been frustrated with mainstream health care or simply looking for a fresh perspective, I think you'll find encouragement here. Let me know what you think—I'd love to hear how this resonates with you! In health, Lacy Lain, FMCHC, LEHP What's Next?

"Bless our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad, Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip. For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance." Psalm 66:8-12
