Day 5: Living From the Vine

Devotional
There is a big difference between living for God and living from God. One is exhausting. The other is life-giving. Jesus said in John 15 that apart from Him, we can do nothing. But with Him, all things are possible. That is not a contradiction. It is an invitation. He is not asking you to try harder. He is asking you to stay connected. The branch does not strain to produce fruit. It simply remains in the vine, and fruit is the natural result. In the same way, when you live from your union with Christ, His strength becomes your strength. His nature flows through you. You stop white-knuckling your way through life and start drawing from the limitless resource that is already inside you. This is the life God has always intended for you. Not a life of constant striving, but a life of deep dependence on the One who is already one with you. Every spiritual blessing is yours. His righteousness, His power, His peace. Not because you earned it, but because you are in Him. You have been living connected to the greatest source of life in the universe. Start drawing from it. Abide in Him today, and watch what begins to grow.

Bible Verse
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." - John 15:4-5 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Are you currently living for God through your own effort, or are you living from your union with Him? What would it look like to shift from striving to abiding?

Quote
"It's not about my strength. It's not about my ability, not about my capability. It's about His. I'm connected to him, everything he has, I have his nature, his purpose, his righteousness, his glory, his power."Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Lord, teach me what it means to truly abide in You. I do not want to live on my own strength anymore. Help me draw from everything You have already placed within me. Amen.

Day 4: A Brand New Identity

Devotional
Your past does not get the final word. That is not wishful thinking. That is Scripture. Second Corinthians 5:17 says that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. Because of your union with Jesus, you are not simply a forgiven version of your old self. You are someone entirely new, defined not by your history but by His nature living in you. This is one of the most freeing truths in the entire Bible. Your failures do not define you. Your wounds do not determine your worth. Your past patterns do not have to be your future. You are joined to Christ, and His righteousness, His purpose, and His glory are now yours. This also means that living right is no longer about earning God's approval. It is about expressing who you already are. You do not live a holy life so that God will accept you. You live a holy life because it is now your nature to reflect Christ. That is a completely different motivation, and it produces a completely different kind of life. You are not who you used to be. Stop letting the enemy convince you otherwise. You are a new creation, united with Christ, and everything that is true of Him is now true of you.

Bible Verse
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what ways are you still allowing your past identity to define you, rather than the new identity you have been given through your union with Christ?

Quote
"Our past may describe where we've been, but it does not determine who we are now. Our failures, our wounds, our temptations, our former ways of living don't have the final word. We are joined and made one with Christ."Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Jesus, thank You that I am not who I used to be. Help me walk in the truth of my new identity today and stop letting my past have a voice it no longer deserves. Amen.

Day 3: You Cannot Be Abandoned

Devotional
One of the deepest fears people carry is the fear of being left. Left by a parent, a friend, a spouse. That fear does not always stay out of our relationship with God either. Many believers quietly wonder, deep down, if God will eventually give up on them. Here is the truth that should put that fear to rest forever. God cannot leave you. Not because He is obligated to stay, but because of the union He has established with you. In order for God to leave you, He would have to abandon Himself. And that is something He simply cannot do. Hebrews 13 reminds us that He will never leave us or forsake us. But the reason goes even deeper than a promise. It goes to the very nature of your union with Christ. You are not just someone God watches over from a distance. You are joined to Him. What happens to you, happens to Him. This means you do not have to beg for His attention. You do not have to perform to keep His presence. You do not have to wonder if He heard your prayer. He is not beside you waiting to be invited in. He is already within you, and that changes everything about how you face hard days. You are not alone. You never were. And you never will be.

Bible Verse
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Galatians 2:20 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Is there an area of your life where you have been acting as though God is distant or disinterested? How does the truth of your union with Him speak to that fear?

Quote
"Do you know why he can't leave you or forsake you? He cannot abandon himself. In order for God to leave you, He has to deny Himself."Pastor John Pool

Prayer
God, thank You that You are not far from me. Help me rest in the reality that You cannot leave me, and let that truth replace every fear of abandonment I carry. Amen.

Day 2: One With Him

Devotional
 What if the most important truth about your relationship with God is not that He is near you, or even that He is with you, but that He is one with you? First Corinthians 6:17 says that whoever is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him. Not close to Him. Not connected to Him from a distance. One with Him. This is not poetic language. It is a declaration of spiritual reality that should reshape everything about how you see yourself and how you approach God. Jesus used the image of a vine and its branches to help us understand this. The branch does not become the vine, but it shares the vine's life completely. The same sap, the same nutrients, the same life flows through both. As long as the branch remains in the vine, it lacks nothing the vine has. That is you. Right now. You are not striving to get closer to God. You are already in Him, and He is already in you. His righteousness, His strength, His peace, all of it flows to you through this union. This truth is not reserved for pastors or missionaries or people who have it all together. It is for you, today, exactly where you are. You are already in the right place. You just need to believe it.
 
Bible Verse
 "He who is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him." - 1 Corinthians 6:17 (New King James Version (NKJV))
 
Reflection Question
 How would your daily life look different if you truly believed that you are already one with Christ, rather than someone trying to earn closeness with God?
 
Quote
 "He who is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him."Pastor John Pool
 
Prayer
 Lord, help me grasp the reality that I am one with You. Let this truth move from my head into my heart and change the way I live. Amen.

Day 1: You Were Made for More

Devotional
Have you ever felt like you were just going through the motions in your faith? Showing up, doing the right things, but still feeling like something was missing? You are not alone. Many believers experience genuine salvation but never fully step into what God has made available to them. Not because they lack faith, but because their minds have never been renewed to the truth of who they really are. Think about the Israelites. They walked through a parted sea on dry ground. They witnessed miracle after miracle. And yet, days later, they were complaining in the wilderness, thinking like slaves instead of the free people God had declared them to be. Sound familiar? God has not held anything back from you. Scripture says He has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Every. Single. One. The problem is not what God has given. The problem is what we believe about what we have received. This week, we are going to explore one of the most powerful and life-changing truths in all of Scripture. It is not complicated, but it will challenge the way you think about yourself, about God, and about the life you are living right now. You were made for more than survival. You were made for union with God Himself. And that changes everything.

Bible Verse
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ." - Ephesians 1:3 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what area of your life are you still thinking like a spiritual orphan rather than someone who has full access to everything God has provided?

Quote
"We've been delivered from slavery, but we're still thinking like slaves.” Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Father, open my eyes this week to the truth of who I am in You. Renew my mind and help me step into the life You have always intended for me. Amen.

Day 5: More Than the Miracle

Devotional
It is easy to get excited about what God does and miss who God is. We celebrate the healing, the open door, the financial breakthrough, the restored relationship. And we should. Those things are real and worth celebrating. But God has something greater in mind than the miracle itself. Every act of provision is an invitation to know the Provider. Every healing is a doorway to know the Healer. Every breakthrough is a chance to stand in awe of the One who broke through. The greatest treasure in any season is not the victory. It is the deeper knowledge of God that comes from walking through the impossible with Him. Jesus said it plainly in John 17:3. Eternal life is not just a destination. It is a relationship. It is knowing God, personally and intimately, right now. There is a real danger in enjoying what God has done without ever growing in the knowledge of the God who did it. The gifts are good. But the Giver is greater. As you look back at what God has done in your life, let it draw you closer to Him. Let every answered prayer increase your hunger for His presence. Let every miracle make you want to know Him more. He does not just want to bless you. He wants you to know Him.

Bible Verse
"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." - John 17:3 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Are you more focused on what you are asking God to do for you right now, or on growing in your relationship with Him through the process?

Quote
The greatest treasure is not the victory. The greatest treasure is to know who he is. Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Father, thank You for every blessing You have given me. But more than anything You provide, I want to know You. Draw me closer to You today. Amen.

Day 4: God Works All Things

Devotional
Life does not always make sense. Good people go through terrible things. Prayers seem to go unanswered. Situations that should have resolved by now are still unresolved. It is honest and human to wrestle with that. But there is a promise that has carried believers through some of the hardest moments in history. Romans 8:28 does not say that everything that happens is good. It says that God works all things together for good for those who love Him. That is a significant difference. God is not the author of every painful thing you have experienced. But He is powerful enough, faithful enough, and intentional enough to take every single piece of your story and weave it into something purposeful. He is answering prayers you have not even prayed yet. He is working out situations you do not even know are coming. His faithfulness is not reactive. It is proactive. You may be in the middle of something right now that does not look like it could ever be used for good. But God specializes in exactly that. He takes broken things and builds something beautiful. He takes what the enemy meant for harm and turns it for your good. Trust the process. Trust the Promise-Keeper.

Bible Verse
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." - Romans 8:28 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Is there a situation in your life right now where you are struggling to believe that God could bring something good out of it, and what would it take for you to surrender that to Him?

Quote
God is answering prayers that we have yet to pray. Our God is so faithful that He's working things out that we don't even know about. He is giving us victory in problems that we have yet to experience. Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Lord, I choose to trust You with the parts of my story that do not make sense yet. You are faithful, and I believe You are working all things together for my good and Your glory. Amen.

Day 3: Treasure in the Dark

Devotional
Nobody chooses the dark seasons. The grief, the waiting, the silence from God that feels unbearable. We pray for the breakthrough, and sometimes it feels like nothing is happening. But some of the most important things God ever does in us happen in the dark. Joseph found purpose in a prison. Moses encountered God in the wilderness. David wrote songs in caves that have strengthened generations of believers. Paul and Silas discovered that even at midnight, worship is possible and revival can break out in the most unlikely places. Isaiah 45 speaks of hidden treasures in dark places. That is not just poetic language. It is a promise. God is not absent in your hardest seasons. He is doing some of His most significant work there. In the darkness, prayer stops being a routine and becomes a genuine cry of the heart. In the darkness, you discover that His presence is not dependent on how you feel. In the darkness, His Word becomes an anchor, not just information. The dark season you are walking through right now is not wasted. God is forming something in you that could not be formed any other way. Hold on. The treasure is real, and it is closer than you think.

Bible Verse
"I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel." - Isaiah 45:3 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Looking back at a difficult season in your life, can you identify something valuable that God formed in you that could only have come through that experience?

Quote
In the darkness, we learn his presence is not dependent on our feelings. In the darkness, we learn his word remains true when circumstances appear contradictory to our hope. In the darkness, prayer becomes more than a religious exercise. It becomes a cry of the heart. Pastor John Pool

Prayer
God, help me to trust You in the dark places. Open my eyes to see what You are doing even when I cannot feel it, and give me the courage to keep going. Amen.

Day 2: God Is Already There

Devotional
One of the most unsettling feelings in life is not knowing what is ahead. A test result you are waiting on. A conversation you are dreading. A future that feels completely uncertain. The unknown has a way of making fear feel very loud. But here is something that can change the way you face tomorrow: God is already there. He is not reacting to your situation. He is not scrambling to come up with a plan. He has already gone before you, already seen what is coming, and already begun working things out on your behalf. Isaiah 45 paints this picture beautifully. God promises to go before His people, level the mountains, and break open doors that seem impossible to move. What looks permanent to you is temporary with God. The walls that feel immovable, the situations that feel hopeless, the seasons that feel endless. None of them have the final word. You may not be able to see the way forward right now. But God does. And He is not just watching from a distance. He is ahead of you, working in the very places that feel most uncertain to you. You do not have to have it all figured out. You just have to trust the One who already does.

Bible Verse
"And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed." - Deuteronomy 31:8 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What situation in your life right now feels most uncertain, and what would it look like to genuinely trust that God is already working in it?

Quote
He is already ahead of us, that he's already there. He's already in our tomorrow. He's already working in situations that appear uncertain to you. Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Father, when I cannot see the way forward, remind me that You are already there. Replace my fear with faith and help me to trust Your presence more than my circumstances. Amen.

Day 1: You Already Have the Victory

Devotional
There are moments when life feels like too much. A diagnosis that shakes you, a relationship that is falling apart, a financial pressure that will not let up. In those moments, it is easy to feel like you are losing. But here is the truth: the battle has already been won. God did not just cheer you on from the sidelines. He stepped into the fight. He faced the enemy, defeated him, and then handed you the victory. That is not a motivational phrase. That is the gospel. Romans 8 makes it clear that you are not just surviving. You are more than a conqueror. Not because of your strength, your strategy, or your ability to hold it together. But because of what Christ has already done for you. The problem is that most of us know this in our heads but struggle to feel it in our lives. When pressure hits, we shift into fix-it mode. We start problem-solving when God is calling us to be promise-receivers. You do not have to figure this out on your own. The victory is not something you earn. It is something you receive. Today, take a breath and remind yourself: the battle belongs to God, and He has already won it for you.

Bible Verse
"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." - Romans 8:37 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what area of your life are you currently trying to fight in your own strength instead of receiving the victory God has already provided?

Quote
Romans chapter 8 says that he made us more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. He gave us the victory that he won. He went to battle. He stepped up to the plate. He entered the contest and he won. He defeated the enemy, and then he gave us the victory. Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Lord, thank You that the battle is not mine to win alone. Help me to stop striving and start trusting that You have already secured my victory through Christ. Amen.

Day 5: One Hungry Heart Can Change Everything

Devotional
Revival does not begin with a crowd. It begins with one person who is no longer willing to settle. One hungry heart, one persistent prayer, one person who decides that powerless religion is not enough. That person can be you. When you genuinely pursue God, something remarkable happens. At some point in that pursuit, everything shifts and He begins to pursue you. What started as your reaching toward Him becomes His presence rushing toward you. That is not a formula. That is a promise rooted in who God is. And hunger is contagious. When you carry a genuine fire for God, the people around you feel it. You do not have to announce it or perform it. It simply spreads. You become a catalyst, someone who ignites the people in your home, your workplace, and your church without even trying. This is the hope of revival. Not a program or a special event, but ordinary people with extraordinary hunger for God. People who pray persistently, who refuse to be satisfied with the status quo, and who believe that God still moves. You are that person. Start where you are. Pray with honesty. Pursue Him with everything you have. One hungry heart truly can change everything around it.

Bible Verse
"Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" - Psalm 85:6 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
If your level of hunger for God right now became contagious to everyone around you, what kind of fire would actually spread, and does that challenge or encourage you?

Quote
"Hunger becomes contagious. Fire begets fire. You will become a catalyst for fire. You will ignite people around you.” Pastor John Pool

Prayer
God, make me genuinely hungry for You, not for what You can give, but for who You are. Use my pursuit of You to ignite something in the people around me, and let revival begin in my own heart first. Amen.

Day 4: Pressing Forward, Not Looking Back

Devotional
One of the quietest traps in the Christian life is living off of past experiences with God. It is easy to look back at a powerful moment, a season of breakthrough, or a time when God felt close, and mistake the memory for the reality. Gratitude for the past is healthy. But parking there is not. Paul understood this tension deeply. In Philippians 3, he counted everything he had accomplished and everything he had been as worthless compared to knowing Christ. He was not coasting on his history with God. He was pressing forward, straining toward what was still ahead. His hunger refused to let him settle. That same posture is available to you today. No matter how powerful your past encounters with God have been, He has more for you. Revival, whether personal or corporate, is not a one-time event you look back on. It is a forward-moving pursuit of a God who never stops inviting you deeper. You do not have to manufacture excitement or pretend the past did not matter. Simply make the choice today to press forward. Tell God you want more of Him, not just more memories of Him. That honest prayer is exactly where new moments with Christ begin.

Bible Verse
"But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ." - Philippians 3:7-8 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Are you currently pressing forward in your pursuit of God, or have you been living off of a past experience with Him that you have mistaken for your current reality?

Quote
"Hunger refuses to live in the past. In other words, we’re thankful for the past, but we’re not reliving old events. We’re looking for new moments in Christ.” Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Jesus, thank You for every moment I have experienced Your presence. But I do not want to live in the past. Give me a hunger that presses forward and a faith that expects new things from You. Amen.

Day 3: The Danger of a Crowded Heart

Devotional
Spiritual hunger rarely disappears all at once. More often, it fades slowly, quietly crowded out by the noise of everyday life. Entertainment, busyness, endless options, and constant distraction all compete for the space in your heart that was meant for God. Jesus warned about this in Mark 4, describing how the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the Word and make it unfruitful. The problem is not always rebellion. Sometimes the problem is simply overcrowding. Your heart has too many things competing for first place. The good news is that hunger can be protected and even restored. What you pay attention to, you create a passion for. If you consistently give your attention to God, through His Word, through prayer, through worship, your hunger for Him will grow. If you give your attention to everything else, your spiritual appetite will quietly shrink. This is not about guilt. It is about awareness. Take a look at where your time and attention are going this week. You have more control over your hunger than you might think. Narrow your focus, and watch what God does in the space you create for Him.

Bible Verse
"And the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful." - Mark 4:19 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What specific distractions or habits have been quietly crowding out your hunger for God, and what is one practical step you could take this week to protect that hunger?

Quote
"The issue is not rebellion. The issue today is overcrowding. Your heart has too many options.” Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Lord, show me what has been taking up the space in my heart that belongs to You. Give me the courage to remove what is crowding You out and the discipline to guard my hunger for You. Amen.

Day 2: What You Are Really Hungry For

Devotional
There is a difference between hungering for what God can give you and hungering for God Himself. It is a subtle distinction, but it changes everything. It is possible to pray consistently, attend every service, and still be chasing blessings, breakthroughs, or emotional experiences rather than the One who gives them. God is not against blessing you. But He wants your heart, not just your requests. David understood this. In Psalm 63, he was in a dry and barren wilderness, and yet his cry was not for rescue or relief. It was for God. He wrote that his soul thirsted for God, that His flesh longed for Him. The wilderness did not destroy his hunger. It revealed it. That kind of hunger is rare, and it is beautiful. It is the kind of hunger that says, "I do not just want what Your hand can provide. I want You." When you begin to pray that way, something shifts. Your priorities change. Your prayers deepen. And you start to discover that pursuing God is not a discipline. It is a delight. You were made for more than blessings. You were made for Him.

Bible Verse
"O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water." - Psalm 63:1 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
If you are honest with yourself, are you hungering for God or for what God can do for you, and what does that reveal about where your heart is right now?

Quote
"Church revival, whether it’s in a church or whether it’s in an individual, comes when we hunger for God and not His blessing.” Pastor John Pool

Prayer
God, I confess that I have often sought Your hand more than Your face. Teach me to hunger for You above every blessing, every breakthrough, and every gift You could give. Amen.

Day 1: More Than Going Through the Motions

Devotional
It is easy to fill your week with church activities, Bible reading, and serving others, and still feel like something is missing. If you have ever sat in a service and wondered why it all feels a little hollow, you are not alone. Many people experience exactly that. The truth is, none of those good things were ever meant to replace the one thing that matters most: knowing God personally. Scripture tells us that when you are joined to God, you are one with Him. That is not a distant, formal relationship. He is not watching you from afar. He lives in you. That reality is meant to change everything about how you approach your faith each day. Christianity was never designed to be a checklist. It was designed to be a living, breathing relationship with Jesus Christ. And relationships require more than showing up. They require presence, attention, and genuine desire. If your faith has started to feel routine, take heart. That feeling is actually an invitation. It is God stirring something deeper in you, calling you back to what your heart was made for. You were not created to simply attend church. You were created to know Him.

Bible Verse
"But he who is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him." - 1 Corinthians 6:17 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what areas of your faith have you been going through the motions rather than genuinely pursuing a deeper connection with God?

Quote
"Revival is a heaven sent awakening that brings us back to our first love. It brings us back and restores holiness. It renews spiritual hunger. And it fills us with fresh power.” Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for the times I have settled for religious routine over real relationship with You. Stir my heart today and draw me closer to who You truly are. Amen.

Day 5: Cast It on the One Who Carried It First

Devotional
Over these past few days, we have walked through some deep truths. Jesus enters into your suffering with you. Faith is allowed to cry. God's promise is your anchor in the waiting. And your circumstances do not get to define who God is. Now here is where it all lands: you do not have to carry this alone. 1 Peter 5:7 says to cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you. That word "cast" is active. It is a decision. It means you take what you have been gripping tightly and you release it into His hands. And here is what makes that possible: He is not just a God who cares about you in theory. He cares for you because He has lived through it. He knows what exhaustion feels like. He knows rejection, grief, and the weight of unanswered questions. He is not distant from your need. He is deeply moved by it. Psalm 103 reminds us that as a Father has compassion on His children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. He knows your frame. He remembers that you are human. God has been faithful. You may not always see it in the moment, but you will see it. Cast your care on Him today. He has got you.

Bible Verse
"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What is one burden you have been carrying on your own that you need to actively release to God today, and what is making it hard to let go?

Quote
"God has been faithful. If there's anything. Amen. If there is anything that I learned in that experience is that how faithful God is, how good He really is. Sometimes we don't always see it in the moment, but we certainly see it in hindsight."- Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Father, I choose to cast my cares on You right now. Thank You that You are not distant from what I am carrying, but that You are deeply moved by it and fully able to hold it. I trust You. Amen.

Day 4: Your Symptoms Are Not the Truth

Devotional
When you are in the middle of a hard season, everything around you sends a message. The diagnosis, the empty bank account, the broken relationship, the silence from someone you love. These things are real. The pain is real. The difficulty is real. But there is a difference between what is real and what is true. Your symptoms are real. But when they start telling you that God is not faithful, that He has forgotten you, that His Word does not apply to your situation, that is where the lie enters. Your circumstances are trying to redefine who God is. And that is a message you do not have to receive. Romans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. You get to decide what you meditate on. When you chew on God's goodness, His faithfulness, and what He has already done, something shifts. Not because you are ignoring reality, but because you are choosing a higher reality. What defines you is not what you are going through. What defines you is who God is and what He has said. His Word is permanent. Your circumstances are temporary. Keep your mind anchored to what is true.

Bible Verse
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." - Romans 12:2 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What narrative are your current circumstances telling you about God, and how does that narrative line up with what His Word actually says about who He is?

Quote
"The symptom is real. The pain, the difficulty, the stuff you're going through, it's real. Where the lie comes in is your symptoms are trying to tell you that God is not true to His Word. It's lying. It's communicating a message about God that that is not true."- Pastor John Pool

Prayer
Lord, help me to recognize the lies that my circumstances are speaking and to replace them with the truth of Your Word. Renew my mind today so that I see my situation through Your eyes. Amen.
