In Him

Lord, I confess: sometimes the fiery darts hit close and my grip on faith shakes. But today, instead of shrinking back, I lift my shield. I remind my heart that these attacks aren’t proof I’m weak; they’re just proof the enemy sees my purpose. So I choose to speak Your truth over my fear. I choose prayer over panic. Even when the arrows keep falling, Your promises are my defense. Faith doesn’t mean I never feel the heat; it means I trust You even when I do. Help me stand firm, eyes on You, knowing every flaming arrow can be extinguished. Amen.

You can’t tell me God isn’t real! You can’t tell me that He doesn’t care! $457,000 in medical debt paid by a .

Some days, I show up with tangled thoughts, unfinished prayers, and hope that's running on empty. I catch myself wishing I had more togetherness to offer You, Lord: more answers, more faith, more polished strength. But right here, in all my rough edges, I find You welcoming me. You aren’t asking for performance, just presence. Thank You for meeting me in the middle of my mess. I’m learning it’s better to show up imperfectly with You than not at all. This is real faith: coming as I am, letting You fill in the gaps.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)
