Are you feeling weighed down by pressure or striving for more, yet struggling to find true contentment?
In today's episode, host Stephanie Alessi Muiña welcomes us into a heartfelt conversation about letting go of drama, both in the world and in our own lives.

Together, we’ll uncover how faith grows stronger through obstacles and suffering, and why adding qualities like goodness, self-control, and perseverance helps us become effective, productive believers.

What kind of friend do you want to be, especially when conversations turn towards gossip? In today’s episode, host Stephanie Muiña invite us to discover the power of our words as they reflect on Proverbs 26:20. We’ll explore together the impact of gossip, the importance of bringing peace and unity into our relationships, and how we can be friends who cover and protect one another— and you’ll see why we might actually learn something from Taylor Swift! As a community, we’ll learn to let our words reflect the nature of Christ and bring wisdom, joy, and celebration to every room we enter.
Join us for this uplifting devotional as we come together in prayer, asking God for wisdom and self-control, and seeking to grow as a community that treasures His word and spreads His love.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 8:21-22 which says "21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. 22 “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 6:12 which says " God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways."
"The difference between God of this time, and the God we know today is that Jesus paid the ultimate price. So we don’t have to worry about a flood, but we do still have to be weary. The same corruption looms and it’s up to us if we are going to allow it to enter our hearts.
We can find corruption at every level, it exists in the school system and among the highest seats of government. Why? Because this world is the enemy’s playground and corruption is his love language.
The good thing about the God we serve is that he has a different love language and that is grace. How lucky as we to have a father like this.
My prayer for us today is for us to stay weary from the corruption. Try and guard your heart from allowing such poison to infiltrate. Let’s lean onto him for strength. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 6:9 which says "This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God."
"He was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and we walked faithfully with God.
These are esteemed words, and words that I pray can be said about me, and you for all of our days.
I hope that when others look at us they know we are righteous. Not righteous as in an arrogant person, but righteous as in they know we stand with God.
I want others to feel the presence of God where ever we go. I hope we love on those we come into contact with. I pray that their lives are impacted because we walk faithfully with God.
It’s hard sometimes, but it’s rewarding and it’s worth it. I pray He is the venter of our lives and others can feel nothing but his goodness, grace, mercy and love through our actions. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 John 3:12 which says "12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous."
"Everyday we battle the Cain from within. No we aren’t going to kill our brother, but we do have an Able inside. The Able is righteous part of you. Its actions, and its way of living is in right standing with God, but we have a Cain that works really hard to kill the Able.
It’s so much easier to do so. It’s easier to give into sin than to live in righteousness. It’s easier to give into society, it’s easier to give into our rage and jealously. It’s easier to be this person, but this verse is instruction us, do not be like Cain!
Don’t kill the light from within. Don’t dim your communication with God. Don’t dismiss when he speaks or pushes you to do something. Don’t undermine the true power of living a righteous life. You’ll end up hurt and alone engulfed in fear. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 4:7 which says "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”
"Continuing our study on persons of the bible and today we are reading over the story of Cain and Abel.
...
He is giving Caine to outcomes, you either do what is right, or you don’t. When you don’t do that is right, the outcome is sin. God is clear, you must rule over it.
We have the ability to stay strong in our faith. We have the ability to turn away from our sinful nature. We can learn to surrender our anger, jealously, and other ugly emotions. We must not hold them in, it will only continue to grow until it becomes all consuming.
May we hold onto God’s words, If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? The solution to ruling over our sin is very simple, lean on what is right. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 3:22-23.
"Continuing our study on Adam & Eve. - The third thing that really stood out to me was the line that says “He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever”
We learned earlier in this book that there were two trees. The tree of life, and the tree of knowledge. They were allowed to eat from the tree of life, but they were not allowed to eat from the second tree. In this line we see that God is so angry He has taken away the tree of life from Adam and Eve’s reach.
We know that Jesus came to pay the ultimate price. He is the tree of life that we get to drink from. He is the water that will never allow us to be thirsty. He is the reason we get to live forever.
Adam may have messed things up for us, but Jesus came to rectify it. We are a lot like Adam, but we have a mighty savior who wants to save us. It’s our choice if we want to drink from His well. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Genesis 3:1-6.
"Continuing our study on Adam & Eve. This story always amazes me. It speaks to our true nature of curiosity, and how we use our free will. In the devotional series that I wrote, I said that our free-will was one of the most beautiful gifts we have been given.
It’s what allows us choose to live a life with God in the center. We aren’t forced to do so.
When God gives us instructions and when He prevents us from walking through certain doors, or when He doesn’t give us what were hoping for and expecting, we are quick to think He is a father that withholds from us.
What we need to understand is that He isn’t a father that withholds a blessing, He is a father that withholds a heart break. When He prevents us from doing certain things, He doesn’t want to hurt us, He wants to protect us.
A lot of the times we are like Eve. We rationalize God’s instruction. We give into society and what it has to say about certain topics, and we weigh it against what was said. We twist His words, and then we are surprised that we get hurt.
Our takeaway today should be very simple, may we listen carefully, may we run into Him freely, may we surrender our ideas of what is write and wrong, and may we just be obedient. One day at a time. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 139:13 which says "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb."
"The idea that God knows our very essence is one of the most beautiful parts of our relationship with Him. When we look around, we see that we are all different. We don’t look the same, talk the same, share the same thoughts. We each have our own dreams, and experiences. We have different perceptions. Different physical traits. Different beings. Yet He took the time to carve us, in all of our details.
I pray that we never take that for granted. I pray that we look at what makes us different and we rejoice in it."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 86:15 which says "But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness."
"A year ago I would have never believed it would be possible, but I am walking out this dream. Even on this mountain top, I have had dips, and twists and turns I didn’t see coming, but this is the verse I chose to hold onto.
He is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
My paster preached this weekend a message about When God Gets Mad. He said God is an an emotional being, but He is never changing. He was the same yesterday is the same today and will be the same tomorrow. I am not sure if you are in a season where you feel God’s mercy, or God’s discipline but they both make us stronger.
Abounding means very plentiful, abundant. He is faithful. Not just faithful sometimes, but abundantly faithful. He will get you through where ever He has you. He will get you on the mountain top, He will walk with you in the valley’s. He disciplines us, He showers us in grace. He is a good good father and we are lucky to have Him in our life. "

"I don’t know who needs to hear these words this morning, but God will deliver you from the false gods you serve. We all have them. Some of us serve money, some of us serve social media, others serve our addictions, some serve fame, some serve vanity.
I pray we have the courage to declare God will deliver us, and even if He doesn’t, I pray we vow to remove the false gods in our lives. Let’s put the phone down. When you are at dinner with your friends and family, put the phone down.
Spoiler alert for the end of this story, God delivers them. He will deliver you, but you have to surrender it to Him. "

What does it really look like to practice humility in our everyday lives? In today’s episode, host Stephanie Muiña invites us to reflect on the wisdom found in Proverbs 25:6-7, encouraging us to explore the difference between striving for recognition and embracing a humble heart. Together, we’ll learn the value of waiting patiently for God’s timing, choosing diligence and consistency over self-promotion, and trusting that it is God—not people—who brings true promotion and purpose into our lives.
Join us as we unite in prayer and devotion, asking God to help us walk in humility and excellence as we serve Him and others each day.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Proverbs 13:12 which says "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."
"There are things in our lives that we hope for and as time passes and those hopes do not come to pass, it’s easy to turn that smile into a frown. It’s easy to become overwhelmed, it’s easy for the heart to be sick.
We mourn over the thought that the one thing we’ve always wanted may actually never happen. Playing that reality in our minds is what hurts us.
This verse is saying, a loving fulfilled is a tree of life. This of course referencing when what you have hoped for has actually happened.
Today that which I have hope for for many years is happening. Today is my last day as a full-time employee. But I can’t lie if my heart wasn’t sick for a long time. When I got hired I told myself and everyone around me “I will be at this job for one year, and I will not work for another employer, I will be my own boss”
God delivered, but it wasn’t in my timing, it was in His. Three weeks ago I celebrated four years with the company. It didn’t happen when I wanted it to, but it happened.
Don’t forget that God knows what you are praying for. He is a faithful father, don’t let your heart become sick. You will get your tree of life. It just won’t be when you expect it."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Philippians 4:20 which says "To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"I don’t know what season you are walking through. I know a lot of us have worry on our hearts. Worry about the future. What degree should I pursue? Is my spouse going to be okay? How is my mom doing in this time. Will I ever find a partner in this life. Will I ever land my dream job. Will I ever become the parent I have dreamed of becoming. Will those adoption papers process in time. Will I find enough customers for my business to flourish.
We can look at our worry and be guilty of giving it the glory, we let it reign in our lives. Our one takeaway today is to remember the One who gives us life every day. Remember the One that is the only one deserving of glory. God is good. Forever and ever. He’s got us in the palm of His hand."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 18:6 which says "6 In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears"
"Today I wanted to take some time for us to sit in prayer. It’s nice to start the day off looking for ways the Lord can speak into our personal lives, but it is equally necessary for us to pray for those who need it.
So if you are sick in your body, this prayer is for you. If not, please take a moment to think of all the people you may know who is battling an illness in their bodies.
If you don’t know anyone, if you would, please pray over my sweet friends mom who’s been battling cancer for a year. The cancer has spread and it might take a miracle, but the good news is that our God performs miracles.
No matter what happens, we know that God hears us. He hears our prayers, He hears our petitions as we fight and believe for those we love most. May they be healed in Jesus name. May He hear our cries. May He comfort us when we need it most. May we surrender when we don't know what else to do. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of James 2:15-17 which says "15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
"True power comes from realizing that we can’t just hope for a better tomorrow, we can’t just have the faith that God is going to do perform a miracle. True faith understands that it’s much more than hoping, it’s about doing. It’s about active faith.
This means that we must fight for the future we are hoping for. It means that we can’t say “one day I am going to lose the weight I have the faith” and then not change our habits. We can’t think that one day “I am going to buy a home, God is going to do it” and then not put together a financial savings plan to ensure we make strides each day to get closer to that which we are praying for.
We have to match our faith with action, when that happens it will multiply. So what ever you are praying for, make a plan of action. Go after those dreams. Go after those hopes. Know that no matter what happens, God is by your side but He is asking you to take action. He is asking you to put your action behind your faith and trust Him in multiplying it. "

"You can rest knowing that you are safe. You can look at this week and be thankful for all that you’ve accomplished and you can rest knowing that you won’t skip a beat.
I am guilty of the overworking. I am guilty of the “don’t stop until it’s accomplished” mindset. I fear that if I stop I will lose traction in all that I have accomplished but that is the furthest from the truth.
You see we get to be in peace. We can lie down and sleep knowing that the only things that keeps us safe, “for you alone, Lord” make me dwell in safety.
So that job you’re working so hard for? That business, those courses. All these things we give our attention to? None of them will bring us the safety and the security that God will.

"I read this verse and I thought of all the things Jesus took to the grave for me. He took my arrogance, and all my faults. He took my need to be right. My need for validation. He took the gossiper in me. The one who falls short of righteousness.
But on that resurrection day, all of the good things in me lived. Those good things were given to me by my father in heave. The same can be said for you.
All of the good things live in you. The kindness, gentleness, the self-control. The purity of thought and action. The best version of you lives.
So when you feel like you start acting out of line, remember that those traits were taken to the grave. No need to dwell on it but look to the good that lives within. That is the power you can tap into to change the day ahead. "

"But today’s verse isn’t about resting, today’s verse was the perfect verse for this Wednesday morning! We are half way through the week and we have word to do. So do the work. Don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged, because even when you are tired, even when you want to rest your eyes, God is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. We gotta keep doing to the work.
Like I said in yesterday’s prayer. We are all doing His work and it’s so important for us to understand that even when we are tired, or even when we are scared, we know we can be strong and courageous in Him."

Look for how God is using you in his bigger picture and be thankful. Give of your time, give of your treasure and you will be rewarded. Your plans will be established."

"It was a beautiful reminder that God prompts us to do different things. He may nudge us in a specific direction. We should really work on trusting the Holy Spirit when He speaks.
God is in control. He saw the end and he saw the beginning and he said you were worth it. It’s hard for us to understand that because we see time in a linear progression, but God is outside of time. The best way I can explain it is that he is all powerful, and even if we can’t understand his holiness and his majesty we can understand that our faith is sufficient.
Give Him thanks, at all times. Listen to when He speaks. Pray often. It will change your life."

"Don’t work as if you’re only working to afford these nice things Do not spend every waking hour working to then spend your money on the IG aesthetic home. Don’t work so hard on posting the perfect picture looking for the algorithm to applaud you. This verse is talking about Food that spoils, but that doesn’t mean all things that spoil are tangible. It could be the vanity we seek, the attention we need.
Instead let’s focus on food that endures eternal life. Jesus has given us the spirit. The fruit of the spirit is simple, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Let’s focus on that today. Let’s focus on the joy of the Lord. Let’s focus on peace. Let’s work towards kindness. Let’s be good to one another.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Matthew 7:4 which says "How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?"
"We love to call out the flaws in others. We don’t mean to do it, but in our destructive nature we do. We can ridicule why others may have reacted to a situation in a way you promise yourself you wouldn’t. We have so many assumptions of others.
The only thing I want to focus on today is removing the planks in my eye.
I pray we take the time to asses what it is that we are doing that may be out of line with the will of God. Let’s look at how we react to situations. Let’s look at the grace we give. Let’s look at the kindness we extend.
Are we using the fruit of the spirit? Are we being gentle, kind, and joyful. Are we practicing our gifts of faith, wisdom, and healing. We should be operating from a place of righteousness not from a place of judgement.
Our take away today is to do a self assessment and challenge ourselves to correct our wrongs and remove our planks. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 20:4 which says "“May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.”
"This verse is powerful and I thought it was fitting. Another Monday and another start of a month and it is a relevant verse to hold onto.
No matter what season you find yourself in, one of the greatest gifts God gives you is the gift of dreams. We are to live for the present but we are also given hope and a future and we have dreams that we want to see come true.
My prayer for us all today is that we look at our hearts, and we dig for what we are desiring. If it’s not the will of God, he won’t give them to you. But if what you desire aligns with His plans for you, my prayer is exactly how this verse reads, may he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
Hold on to that promise. Please, it’s been one of my greatest lesson yet. "

We know that his testimony is true.25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."
"The stories we know of Jesus are those that have been written on these pages. So many lives have been impacted by them. So many songs written, so many sermons preached, so many lives changed.
But so much more could have happened. So many more miracles, testimonies, and yet we will never know.
It got me thinking, how many miracles has he performed? It has to be in the upwards of trillions. Every day is a blessing and he performs miracles in all of our lives. They don’t have to be written in a book to be real. But they are real. So real. He moved when He wants to. He blesses. He is living water..."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our 15 devotional series of prayers and read out of Matthew 28:11-15 which says "11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day."
"What really amazed me was how they paid a lot of money to cover up the greatest miracle that had ever and will ever occur and that story is still being said today.
His resurrection was a miracle and the world will go to great lengths to convince you that it wasn’t. Let me encourage you, keep the faith. His story, your testimony holds so much power.
When people try and cover up your miracles, don’t let them. When you want to cover up your own miracle, don’t give into fear. Share your story louder. Be confident in what He has done for you. Share it with others, continue to spread the light and the love of Jesus. "

"A few things come to mind when I read this. Sometimes we are walking with Jesus in our journey and we may not even be aware how he interjects and prompts you with questions.
There are also many times where he may wait for the perfect opportunity to show you it was Him there with you the entire time. I know this can be said when walking through hard seasons.
You can’t see it in the moment, but when you get passed it, you look back and you will see how Jesus was there the whole time.
I hope as we go about our days we realize just how important it is to communicate with Jesus daily. I hope we keep our eyes open for when he talks. I hope when we makes himself visible we can see him clearly and our hearts burn.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our 15 devotional series of prayers and read out of Matthew 28:8 which says “So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples”
"This verse really spoke to me personally, like I said yesterday, sometimes old dreams come back to life. Sometimes, new plans come to life. Sometimes, things happen that you had no intention would happen. And it’s all God. Sometimes you have a plan and it seems logical, but then the unexplainable happens.God opens a door that you never thought you’d walk through and yes its both terrifying and wonderful. You can be full of fear and full of joy.
But this verse should gives you direction on what to do next, run and tell his disciples. It doesn’t say run and tell the world. No run and tell his disciples. It’s important to have a group of people who love and believe in Jesus to run to, and go to so that you can share when God moves in your life.
If you don’t I encourage you to find an in-person community, this weekend is a great opportunity to meet some new faces. There is nothing in this world like sharing the love and works of Jesus with other believers. So this is me saying, the next time God opens a door in your life that you thought was unable to open, run, don’t walk."

"Last Friday we read about the death of Jesus and today I wanted to read on the importance of the burial. First of all let’s talk about Joseph. This passage says “He was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly” and that in it’s own will preach to your heart.
He feared the Jewish leaders so He was a follower in secret. I know a lot of people who love God, love Jesus, but in secret because they fear what their Instagram followers would think if they talked more about their testimony. I was like that for a long time, so if that pulled on your heart strings please know you are not alone, but I encourage you to be courageous. You don’t know who’s life you can impact by sharing your story..."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our 15 devotional series of prayers and read out of John 19:37 which says "For these things took place that Scripture might be fulfilled. “Not one of his bones will be broken.” And again another scripture says, “They will look on Him whom they have pierced.”
"There is no doubt they had just killed the son of man, to us, because like I keep repeating, we are on the other side of the resurrection. But clearly the crowd didn’t know what they had just done.
Yet, scripture had forewarned us of his coming. This verse proves that he fulfilled the word. It goes to show that our interpretation of something, isn’t actually what God is trying to tell us.
Think about it. These people were looking for a king to come and save them, yet they got a carpenter, born in a manger.
They wanted something he wasn’t because they expected Him to be something they wanted rather than who He was. I hope this encourages us to be careful of the boxes we put God in. He doesn’t show up the way we expect, but we must not be blind when he does make himself present.
Time and time again the word proves that he will be far greater than we can ever hope or imagine. He has more in store for us. I hope that we trust Him, I hope that we know our expectations for him will never be met, he will always exceed them, but we cannot be disappointed when they don’t meet up to our imperfect and selfish standards.

"What a picture of our lives. Sometimes we can be like the first man, demanding that God save us in a second. “Don’t you see what is happening? Can’t you see that we’ve been through enough. Surely if you are God you would save me right now”
I know because I have been that person. I went through trails and tribulations. I had moments I wish I would forget. I was mad at God, I tested Him.
It wasn’t until I fully grasped who he was that I changed my ways. I suddenly became like the second man. One that understands the fault I have in my actions. One that understands the honor to live life with Christ right next to me, even when I am far from perfect.
With confidence I know that He will remember me, like he remembered this man. I know that even in my low moments, nothing can operate me from the promises of God. I hope that as you go about your day today you look at your narrative. Are you questioning God’s power? Or are you grateful to be in His presence?
When you put on the posture of humility the world changes."

In today’s episode, host Stephanie Muiña invites us to dive into the wisdom of Proverbs as we explore the importance of practicing and protecting self-control. Together, we’ll uncover why self-control is more than just a helpful habit—it’s a powerful fruit of the Spirit and a testimony of Jesus in our hearts. We’ll discover practical ways to strengthen this virtue and learn how, in a world that rarely celebrates restraint, our commitment to self-control can set us apart and bless those around us.
Join us for this encouraging devotional as we come together in prayer and devotion, seeking God’s wisdom and grace to nurture self-control in our lives.

"What I love about the words, not of this world, is that it proves that where we are is not heaven. So when you have a bad day you can remember that it can be worse and it can be better, but it’s not the best, because the best is in heaven.
Not of this world means that when we are tempted, angered, or just plagued by depression, anxiety, strongholds etc. we can remember that there is a better place.
But the best part of all of it, is that we don’t have to wait for eternity to find heavenly places here on earth. We can live a life full of peace, love, joy, and prosperity and it is thanks to the events that followed the passage we read today."

He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
"...I hope that we allow Jesus to stir up curiosity inside us. I hope we are always curious to see how far we can go with Christ as our leader.

"My favorite verse however is verse 73, which is where this title comes from, the bystander said “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away” and it reminded me of all the times someone has stopped me to ask me where I was from. When I say Miami, they proceed with, but are you Spanish? And I always say, yeah my family is Cuban.
We should all have an accent. Not in the way we pronounce our words, but in the way we speak, in the way we act, in the way we walk. Someone should say to you.. “Surely you are Christian, the way you love others, gives you away!"

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” 62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
"Today I wanted to focus on the fact that He was nothing like they had imagined. He wasn’t a rich man. He wasn’t a king. He wasn’t royalty. He was a carpenter. He was a friend of sinners. He was a man who changed the world. He was the son of God.
To apply this scripture you must understand the power of that sentence. The power behind His declaration of being the son of God. He was the chosen one. He was the savior and they were too blind to see it.
I hope we don’t live our life too blind to see Jesus when He stands right in front of us. I hope when we see God move in our life, we don’t have to question if it was Him or not. I hope we become so familiar with Him that we never have to ask the question, are you the son of God. I hope we grow such a deep relationship with Him that we know with every fiber in us, that He is who He says He is. "

Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." 43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
"All of our choices seems so minuscule compared to what Jesus was asking. Yet we fail all the time. The task before Him was heavy, yet He followed through with it so gracefully. Our only take away today is to reflect on how He prayed. He prayed a normal prayer, one that we pray everyday, God if there is any other way please show me. A lot of the times, there is easy way out of our calling, but every time He sends us strength. Just like he sent an angel to strengthen Jesus.
So if there is anything you take away from this passage is that, in your moments of prayer, you will always come out stronger than how you went in. Take the time to pray over your choices. Whether they be difficult life c

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we begin our 15 devotional series of prayers and read out of Matthew 20:17-19 which says "17 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”
"...Why did they return to their old ways?
He said “They were human, maybe they needed an anchor to ground them and the only anchor they knew was the anchor of their old ways”
And just like that a light bulb went off.
We are human, and as humans we tend to look for things we can attach ourselves to. The good news for you and I is that we don’t live in a weird reality where we think Jesus died and isn’t coming back. We get to live in a world where as this verse says, on the third day he will rise.
So, on this beautiful Monday I want to encourage you. Don’t go back to your old ways. Find your anchor in Jesus. You were called for much bigger and greater things. Celebrate His victory, because he defeated death, you can turn away from your old habits and hang onto the promises of eternity. "

"They say healthy relationships are built on trust. You’ve heard the words before, “If we don’t have trust, we don’t have anything”. We understand how important that it in romantic relationships, but why is it any different in our relationships with Christ?
This verse is saying do not worry about your life. What will you eat or drink, what you will wear. Is not life more than food…
Think about that saying, is life not more than food, and the body more than clothes.
In short, of course there is so much more to life. The relationships we build, the memories we make, the love we experience, yet sometimes we sacrifice all of these moments, we sacrifice our moments while we are paralyzed in worry.
A lot of the times we treat our jobs, the number in the bank, the numbers of likes on Tik Tok, and the number of followers on Instagram has if it were the clothes on our body. The thing is none of these things will sustain us.
We must trust God. We must trust that He will never allow us to go hungry. We must trust that He always has our best interest in mind. We must trust what is written in the Bible. We must trust what He has to say about us. Without trust, we make this relationship about us and not about Him."

"Every season brings an opportunity for growth. An opportunity to continue grow deeper spiritually, and opportunity to grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be.
Never do you have to do such things alone. For He is your helper and we do not be to be afraid. There is nothing that can happen to you, no one that can hurt you. No matter how difficult the season, how dry the harvest, how low the valley, God is teaching you, God is leading you, God is watching over you.
So take this season, and embrace it. Look for where you can grow. Look for how you can change. Your time here will serve it’s purpose. It will give you the experience necessary for future season.
Experience is vital. It helps us build confidence. Why? Well because in every season, we know God delivers us. And if we know that he is with us and that he is our helper, we can have the confidence that if we ever have to face the same or a similar situation, we would know exactly how to grow through it again."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Galatians 6:8 which says "Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
"Nothing good comes out leaning onto your flesh. Nothing good comes from selfishness. Nothing good comes out of vanity.
The second part to this verse says it all, whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
If you’re wondering what pleasing the spirit looks like, look to the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 says 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Today all you have to do is meditate on such things. Sow good seed and watch how your harvest will shine.
Sow goodness, sow love, sow joy, and peace and kindness and faithfulness. You have the self-control to reframe from your selfish ways. Eternal life is so much greater than anything your flesh can provide.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 25:9 which says "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way."
"Doing life God’s way isn’t hard. But it requires you to say no to your flesh every single day. I read the verse above and I wanted to go back through scripture to really see what it says about His way.
1 John 2:6 says the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
So we are to abide in him, and walk like him.
Psalm 18:30 says As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the Lord is tried;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
I really love that it says the word of the Lord is tried. Meaning this way of life, being humble, walking with the Lord, saying no to temptations, serving those around us, it’s a tried and tested way of living. It gives us strength when our world crumbles, it gives us clarity when we need it. It allows the bigger voice in our life to be His.
As you go about your day today, look for the areas in your life that are not aligned with how God wants you to live and ask yourself why. Is it a need for control, or simply something you do not want to give up. Like we started todays, Devo, He wants to teach you His way, what is He trying to teach you today?"

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Hebrews 3:4 which says "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God"
"This verse just stopped me in my reading and I wanted to stay here for a little while, just really meditate on that. God is the builder of all things. It was such a perfect verse for today’s prayer.
Together we celebrate consistent prayer. I don’t care if you started praying with us last week or back when I started this podcast in June, we’ve all been praying for sometime now. If today is your first day, I encourage you to keep tuning in.
When I look at this community I am thankful. Thankful because I know who the builder is. It’s not me, I am no one. But Jesus uses us all to build His story. We all play a role, if you see it or not. Everyday you come into contact with people and you have the ability to become the hands and feet of Jesus right where you find yourself. It’s a blessing to be able to do life with Him, and it’s a blessing to be able to do life with this community.
I am eager to grow deeper in my faith, and I am honored you have joined me on the journey.
As you go about your day today, look at the things around you. He is the builder of all things. Your home, your relationships, your careers. If any of these things feel as if they go in the opposite direction of God’s will, then maybe you forced a door on a pillar of your life in which a door was not intended. Interior designers need permits to reconstruct walls, don’t start building doors when they aren’t first approved by the architect."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 John 5:7-8 which says "7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree."
"As you go about your day reflect on this. God the father, creator of the universe. Creator of the earth and the heaven. King above all. Jesus, his son, the word turned flesh. He walked with God in the beginning. He sacrificed His life for us. He is 100% man, yet 100% God. He lived a sin-less life and died for us. He is our greatest friend. The Holy Spirit, which is the very breath of God that resides within you. It is the voice on conviction and accountability. he gives you the strength to push forward and the discernment for when to pull back.
We are three part as well. The body, physical body the only thing given to us at birth that will be with us when we depart. It takes care of us, gives us a home while we are on this earth. We don’t give our bodies the credit they deserve. We are also part soul, our very essence the thing that makes us who we are. Our personality and life experiences all wrapped into one beautiful energy. Our third part is the spirit that lives within, and we just covered that. It’s our direct line to the father.
We are all connected. It’s important that we treat them all with the love and respect it deserves. Let’s fill our minds with pure thoughts, let’s fill our bodies with the greatest kinds of foods, let’s nourish our spirits by getting into the word. Let’s confide in our father as we pray everyday. Let us not lean onto our understanding but rather let’s look to Jesus for direction.
