Colossians 3 says, “You must clothe yourself with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowances for each other’s faults, and forgive the person who offends as Christ has forgiven you.” After Paul listed all these qualities we need to put on each day, he finished by saying, “And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love.”
Women who seek God daily are:
• stronger in trials
• more at peace
• less swayed by culture
• quicker to forgive
• slower to gossip
• bolder in telling the truth
• and have the joy of the Lord.
This world needs more women of God.
Let’s pray:
I pray for you this Wednesday morning:
May the God who watches over you day and night go ahead of you and perfect everything concerning you. Nothing will rise today to frustrate your peace. Nothing assigned against you will stand. The presence of God will surround you like a shield.
Everywhere your name is mentioned today, favour will speak. Every step you take will open doors. What slowed you down in previous days will no longer have power over you. No delay, no setback, no disappointment will find you.
Your strength will not fade, your hope will not die, and your hands will not grow weary. What God has ordained for you today will not be diverted, delayed or stolen. May your mind receive clarity, your spirit receive direction, and your heart receive peace for every decision before you.
Help will look for you. Provision will find you. Those assigned to support you will not be hindered. What has been difficult for weeks will shift in your favour. Your destiny will attract the right voices, the right opportunities and the right people.
Go into this Wednesday with boldness, grace and divine backing. You will end today with testimonies, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
POWERFUL: Over 30 #Texans & #Steelers players led by Houston QB CJ Stroud gathered together on the field after the game got down on a knee & PRAYED TO GOD.
These two teams were just battling in the playoffs and took a moment to praise GOD and give Glory 🙏https://t.co/As2bm45894
Heavenly Father,
You are the source of all mercy and compassion.
Today we lift before You the poor, the hungry, and the forgotten.
Lord, see their struggles, their tears, and their silent prayers.
Provide food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless,
clothing for those in need, and hope for the discouraged.
Strengthen them in times of weakness
and remind them that they are precious in Your sight.
Touch the hearts of leaders and communities
to act with justice, kindness, and generosity.
Use us, O Lord, as instruments of Your love
to help, support, and uplift those who suffer.
May Your peace cover every family facing hardship,
and may Your grace open doors of opportunity and dignity.
We trust in Your promises and thank You for Your unfailing love.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen. 🙏
If you do arduous study of Scripture, yet have very little prayer life, you will know much about doctrines and history, but not have much of a personal relationship with the God whom the Bible is about.
If all you do is pray and have a general sort of "faith," yet don't immerse yourself in the Scriptures, you run the risk of praying to the wrong God or wrong Jesus, and not knowing what God has said to mankind about Himself.
Prayer and Bible reading go hand in hand. One is talking to God, and the other is God talking to you. Do both in heavy amounts daily.
Quinn Ewers said he had multiple offers from college programs but opted for the NFL instead, because he didn't want to damage any legacy or relationships he built at Texas.
He was a lifelong Longhorns fan, which helped him make his decision:
"My 10-year-old self wouldn't have transferred away ... I think that's important for these younger kids to take away -- stop being focused on the material things and start building relationships that will last you a lifetime."
If you’re struggling right now in any way, skip the life hacks for a minute.
Go to church this Sunday.
Even if you don’t normally go. Even if you’re “spiritual not religious.” Even if you have PTSD from the religious boredom of church as a kid. Just go sit in the back row and be still for an hour.
Almost everything in your life right now is optimized for production or consumption. Slack, spreadsheets, TikTok, email, sales calls. All output and input. Almost nothing is sacred, quiet, or unmonetized.
Church is one of the last places left that isn’t trying to sell you something or steal your attention. It’s an hour built around the idea that you are more than your revenue, or your value. It's one of the few places where the only goal is to confess your flaws, let them go and have some faith.
It's a place that will welcome everyone, even and maybe especially if you hate yourself right now.
Sit, stand, sing, or just listen. Let someone read words that have outlived every empire and every market cycle.
Let your brain remember: money is a tool, not a god. You are not the sole author of your story.
You’ll walk back out into the same world, same problems, same bank account, but it will feel a little less loud and a little less about you. That’s insanely useful if you’re carrying heavy stuff right now.
Tomorrow, you can go back to your problems.
Today, give yourself permission to just be a human.
If things are brutal right now, consider this your permission slip: Close the laptop. Go to church. Let God be bigger than your to‑do list for one hour.
My 71-year-old client sees his daughter maybe 6 times a year.
They live 50 minutes apart.
Not estranged. Not fighting.
Just... busy.
Holidays. Birthdays. The occasional Sunday dinner.
"We text every day," he told me. "We're really close."
I did the math in front of him.
He's 71. Statistically, he has maybe 12-15 years left.
Six visits a year.
That's 72-90 more times he'll see her in person.
He stared at the number.
"90 more times with my daughter?"
He went quiet for a minute.
"That's it? That's all that's left?"
Tim Urban from Wait But Why calculated something that stopped me cold:
By the time you leave home at 18, you've already spent 93% of your in-person time with your parents.
The remaining 7% gets spread thinly—just a few days per year—across the next several decades of their lives.
You think you have forever.
The math says different.
He called her that night.
Now she comes for coffee every Sunday.
"I've seen her 11 times in the last 3 months," he told me.
"More than all of last year."
He didn't need a financial plan.
He needed to see the number.
Sometimes the most important math has nothing to do with money.
