Love Letters from God — Daily Devotionals

  Day 91: A Love Letter from God About When Faith Becomes Weak MARK 9:24 My child, Your faith doesn't feel steady right now. You used to believe easily, pray boldly, trust Me without a second thought — but lately it feels thin, like you're holding onto something with fingers that keep slipping. You wonder if this weakness means your faith isn't real, if somehow you've failed at the one thing you were supposed to hold onto no matter what. I want you to hear Me clearly: weak faith is still faith. It is not disqualified by its size or its trembling. A father once brought his son to Me and said, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief." He didn't have perfect, unwavering trust. He had faith mixed with doubt, belief mixed with desperation — and I met him exactly there. I didn't ask him to fix his faith before I would help him. I met him in the honest, imperfect middle of it. You don't need a mountain-sized faith for Me to hold you. Even faith as sma...

  Day 90: A Love Letter from God  About His Faithfulness  Through It All LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23 My child, Ninety days. Ninety letters. I want you to pause here with Me for a moment before you rush on to tomorrow. Think back to who you were when this began — what you were carrying, what you didn't yet believe, what you were still learning to hand Me instead of holding white-knuckled and alone. I have been with you through every single one of those days. The ones about weariness and doubt. The ones about shame and fear and grief. The days you felt forgotten, the days joy felt far away, the days you were angry and didn't know what to do with it, the days you felt stuck and wondered if anything was actually moving. I was present in every one of those letters, not because I was writing pretty words to you, but because I was walking with you through every single thing those words were actually about. Some of what you brought to Me ninety days ago is still unresolved. Some prayers...

  Day 89: A Love Letter from God  About Burnout ISAIAH 40:29-31 My child, You've been giving from a place that's run dry for a while now. Pouring into your work, your family, your ministry, the people who need you — showing up for everyone else while quietly falling apart on the inside. You keep telling yourself you'll rest once things slow down, but they never do, and you're running on fumes that ran out a while ago. I see what burnout has cost you. The joy that used to come easily now feels like effort. The things you used to love have started to feel like one more obligation. You're exhausted in a way that sleep alone can't fix, because this isn't just physical tiredness — it's the depletion that comes from giving and giving without ever being refilled. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. I'm n...

  Day 88: A Love Letter from God About Envy PSALM 73:2-3, 25-26 My child, You saw what someone else has today, and something twisted inside you. Not simple admiration — envy, the kind that makes you feel a little bitter toward someone you actually care about, the kind that leaves you resentful instead of happy for them. You feel guilty about it, but you can't quite shake the ache of wanting what they have. I want you to know I'm not shocked by this feeling, and it doesn't make you a bad person. Even the psalmist wrote honestly about this exact struggle — my feet had almost slipped, I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Envy is an old, human ache, and I'd rather you name it honestly to Me than pretend it isn't there, letting it quietly rot into resentment. But I do want to remind you of something: their blessing is not your lack. What I've given someone else was never subtracted from what I have for you. I am not distributing a limited su...

  Day 87: A Love Letter from God About Feeling Stuck HABAKKUK 2:3 My child, You've been looking at your life and wondering why nothing seems to be moving. The same routines, the same unresolved questions, the same circumstances you thought you'd have grown past by now. It feels like everyone around you is progressing — new jobs, new milestones, new chapters — while you're standing in the same place you were months ago. I want you to hear this: stillness is not the same as stuck. What looks like nothing happening on the surface is often where the deepest work is happening underground, out of sight, where you can't yet see the roots I'm growing in you. A seed doesn't look like it's doing anything while it's buried, but that's exactly when the most important work is taking place. This vision awaits an appointed time. Though it linger, wait for it, it will certainly come and will not delay. I know this season feels like it's lingering far longer than...

  Day 86: A Love Letter from God About Your Anger EPHESIANS 4:26 My child, You're angry, and you've been trying to push that anger down, maybe because you were taught it isn't very "Christian" to feel this way. So you swallow it, smile through it, tell yourself you should just let it go — but it hasn't gone anywhere. It's still sitting there underneath the surface, showing up in ways you didn't expect, in moods you can't quite explain. I want you to hear this: anger itself is not sin. In your anger, do not sin — that's not a command to never feel angry, it's an instruction for what to do with it once you feel it. I made you with the capacity to feel anger for a reason. When something is genuinely wrong, when you've been hurt or wronged, anger is often the honest, appropriate response. I'm not asking you to pretend you don't feel it. What I am asking is that you don't let it take root and become something else — bitterness, r...
