🌿 Blog Introduction: Let the Word Soak In
Psalm 118:24
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
🕊️ Encouragement: No matter what the day holds, it’s God-authored. Joy is a choice, even in trial.
John 8:36
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
🔓 Encouragement: Your freedom in Christ isn’t partial or fragile. It’s total, eternal, and sealed.
Galatians 4:4–7
“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’
So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.”
👑 Encouragement: You’re not an outsider. You are fully adopted, fully loved, fully included in God’s royal family.
John 17:13–17
“But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”
🛡️ Encouragement: Jesus prayed for you. You are kept. You are guarded. You belong to heaven, even while on earth.
Galatians 5:1
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
⚖️ Encouragement: Stand tall. Jesus didn’t free you just for a moment—but for a lifestyle of liberty.
1 Timothy 6:12
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
🛡️ Encouragement: Your faith is a fight worth showing up for. Your confession matters. Keep going.
Proverbs 6:31
“But if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.”
🔥 Encouragement: What the enemy has stolen, God promises to restore—sevenfold. Don’t accept loss as final.
🎙️ Narration: A Prayer of Encouragement
This is the day the Lord has made… and whether you woke up in joy or in struggle, there’s something sacred about this moment.
So, we pause.
We breathe.
We remember.
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
(Psalm 118:24)
Because God is here. And that changes everything.
You are not bound by yesterday.
Not by your failures.
Not by the voice of fear, or shame, or regret.
“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
(John 8:36)
You are free.
Free to hope again.
Free to heal.
Free to lift your eyes.
Because in the fullness of time, God didn’t just save you—He adopted you.
“You are no longer a slave, but a son. And if a son, then an heir through God.”
(Galatians 4:7)
That means you belong.
Not by accident, not by charity—
But by divine right of love.
And now, the Spirit inside you cries out—not with fear, but with familiarity—“Abba. Father.”
You are not alone in this world.
You are not left to figure it out on your own.
Because Jesus Himself prayed for you.
“I am coming to You, Father,” He said, “that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves…”
(John 17:13)
He didn’t ask for you to be removed from the world.
He asked that you’d be kept, protected, and sanctified in truth.
Because you’re not of this world—you are of His.
So today, you stand free.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free; stand firm then…”
(Galatians 5:1)
You don’t go back.
You don’t wear those chains again.
You don’t settle for less than grace.
And if today feels like a battle—
Remember, it’s the good fight of faith.
“Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called.”
(1 Timothy 6:12)
Because what God has given you is worth fighting for.
And even now, where the enemy has taken…
God is not done.
“If the thief is caught, he must restore sevenfold…”
(Proverbs 6:31)
So hold on.
Redemption is coming.
Restoration is moving toward you.
Joy is rising.
Faith is winning.
And the Word of God?
It’s sinking in.
Taking root.
And bearing fruit.
You’re not just hearing truth—you’re being shaped by it.
So breathe again.
Stand tall.
And let today echo with heaven’s voice:
You are loved. You are free. You are His.
🎙️ Narration: A Prayer for Grandchildren
Lord,
I lift up my grandchildren to You—each one, known by name, shaped by Your hands, and dearly loved.
Thank You for the gift they are.
Thank You for their laughter, their energy, their curiosity, and the light they bring into our lives.
Today, I place them into Your care,
Asking that You surround them with Your presence—
Guide their footsteps, guard their hearts, and grow their faith.
May they know, even now,
That they are never alone—
That You walk beside them in schoolyards, in bedrooms, in quiet moments of worry or joy.
Plant in them a love for Your Word.
Let Your truth shape their minds and Your peace anchor their souls.
Protect them from harm, from confusion, and from the loud voices of this world.
Let them rise up strong, but humble.
Brave, but kind.
Wise, but always teachable.
Let them be children who know how to pray, how to forgive, how to shine.
And when they stumble, Lord—
When life feels heavy or unfair—
Let them feel Your hand holding theirs.
Let them hear my prayers echoing, even when I’m not near.
I pray for their friends.
For their future choices.
For the callings on their lives that only You fully know.
Give them joy in their souls.
Give them courage to stand for what is right.
Give them compassion for others, and confidence in who they are in You.
Lord, bless their minds, their emotions, their growing bodies.
Keep their spirits soft to Your voice.
And help them always know:
They are loved—by You, by me, by so many.
Thank You for letting me be part of their story.
I entrust them to You again today.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
