  A Prayer to Know God’s Will for My Life Gracious Father, You are the Author of my life and the Keeper of my days. Before I was formed in my mother’s womb, You knew me. Before I took my first breath, You had a plan for my life—a plan full of purpose, meaning, and divine design. Today, I come before You with a humble and seeking heart, longing to know and walk in the fullness of Your will for me. There are so many paths before me, Lord, and my heart sometimes feels torn in different directions. The noise of the world, the expectations of others, and my own desires often cloud my judgment. But I don’t want to live by impulse or emotion—I want to live in obedience to Your voice. Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. I surrender every area of my life to You—my dreams, ambitions, fears, and even the things I don’t understand. Align my heart with Your heart. Let my steps be ordered by Your Word and my decisions rooted in Your wisdom. Close every door that is not of You, and open w...

  Finding Refuge in God: A Reflection on Psalm 62:8 Life is full of uncertainties. One moment we feel secure, and the next, we're swept into situations that shake us. Whether it's a health scare, a broken relationship, financial hardship, or simply the weight of the unknown, our hearts long for a place to rest—a shelter that cannot be moved. Psalm 62:8 offers us a simple yet powerful truth:  "Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."  It is both an invitation and a command to lean on God—not just when we’re desperate, but continually, in every season. Trust in Him at all times . Trust is not a passive feeling—it’s an active choice to rely on God's character, even when circumstances suggest otherwise. When David wrote this psalm, he was no stranger to betrayal and danger. Yet his words reflect a deep-seated confidence in God's reliability. This verse challenges us to place our trust in God not just when it's...

  Title: 7 Biblical Ways to Stay Calm and Unbothered  In a world full of stress, opinions, and constant pressure, staying calm and unbothered might feel impossible. But the Bible offers clear, timeless wisdom for cultivating inner peace and emotional resilience. If you're seeking calm in the storm, here are  7 biblical ways  to protect your peace and trust God more deeply. 1. Fix Your Mind on God’s Peace Isaiah 26:3 (NIV): “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” God promises  perfect peace  to those who fix their thoughts on Him. When your focus shifts from your problems to God's presence, worry loses its grip. 2. Replace Anxiety with Prayer Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV): “Do not be anxious about anything, but... present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Instead of letting anxiety spiral, bring everything to God in prayer. His peace isn't just te...

  Reflection on Job 8:7 — “Though your beginning was small, your future will be great! There is something powerful and comforting in these words from the book of Job. At face value, they are a simple encouragement. But when we look deeper—especially within the context of Job’s life—we see a truth that reaches into the very core of our human experience:  God sees beyond where we  are. He sees where we’re going. Job had lost nearly everything—his wealth,  his health, his family, his reputation. He was sitting in ashes, covered in sores, surrounded by friends who offered more judgment than comfort. And yet, in the midst of that desolation, comes this statement:  “Though your beginning was small, your future will be great.” This is not just a poetic sentiment. It is a spiritual truth rooted in the character of God. He is the God of restoration, renewal, and increase. He never wastes a beginning, no matter how humble, painful, or unnoticed it may be. And what looks s...
