I tend My flock like a shepherd: I gather the lambs in My arms and carry them close to My heart; I gently lead those that have young. You're not being driven - you're being gently led. I know exactly how much you can carry. I adjust My pace to yours.

Father, Mother's Day brings complicated emotions - joy and grief, gratitude and longing, celebration and pain. Some rejoice in relationships that bless them. Others ache over relationships that wound them or children they never had. This day is hard for many people who feel invisible or in

Today, the second Sunday in May, many will celebrate Mother's Day - a complicated holiday that brings joy to some and pain to others. For women who've lost mothers, can't become mothers, have troubled relationships with mothers, or grieve children lost through miscarriage or death, this da

Father, "the women" were in the upper room - unnamed, unacknowledged, but essential. They'd funded Jesus's ministry, stayed at the cross when others fled, witnessed resurrection first, and now prayed with other believers waiting for your Spirit. Most of them aren't named in Scripture, but

Acts 1:14 mentions "the women" who were in the upper room, praying together with the apostles, Mary, and Jesus's brothers. No names given. No specific identification. Just "the women." But these women's presence represents faithful discipleship that deserves recognition even when Scripture

Delight yourself in Me, and I will give you the desires of your heart. Not because I'm a vending machine dispensing wishes, but because as you delight in Me, your desires change. What you want starts matching what I want. Our hearts beat together.

Father, Mary believed your promise when she was young, gave birth to Jesus in a stable, raised him through childhood, watched him launch ministry, witnessed his crucifixion, and then showed up in the upper room to pray with other believers. She could have given up after the cross. She coul
