“Unless The Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.”
PSALM 127:1
JOIN US DAILY FOR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND FOR NIGHTLY DEVOTION AND PRAYER:
Based on Psalm 127
Tonight’s psalm reminds us that without God’s involvement, our efforts are ultimately in vain. Whether building our lives, our families, or our future, true success and security come only when we rely on Him. When we entrust our plans to the Lord, He establishes them and gives them lasting purpose.

Take a moment to examine the areas of your life where you are striving in your own strength. Breathe out any frustration, and breathe in the peace of surrendering to God’s will. Trust Him to build and guard what matters most, knowing He is faithful to complete the good work He begins.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Praise God for being the ultimate builder and protector of our lives. Rejoice in His wisdom and power to establish what is lasting and meaningful.

CONFESSION: Reflect on times when you’ve relied on your own strength instead of seeking God’s guidance. Confess your self-reliance and ask for His help, surrendering your plans to Him.

THANKSGIVING: Thank God for His faithfulness in building and guarding your life. Express gratitude for His presence in your work, relationships, and dreams.

SUPPLICATION: Father, I surrender my efforts and plans to You. Build my life according to Your purpose, and guard all that You entrusted me. Help me to trust in Your strength and guidance as I rest in Your care tonight.
PRAYER
Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
PSALM 43:3
Dear Lord, tonight I pray for joy, but not just any joy. I pray for a joy that causes me to praise You even in my sleep. I desire for my mind to meditate on Your Majesty, even in my dreams. Envelop me with Your truth and light. Take me to Your holy hill, where streams of abundance cascade downward and fill the land with life. I want to make my bed there in Your presence. I want to lay my head down in Your character and drift to sleep under the blanket of Your blessing. Comfort me as I sleep. May my sleeping breath sigh a similar song as David, “Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my Salvation.” In Jesus’ Name, amen.

“Poetry is how we speak when pain is too deep to explain. ”

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
ISAIAH 40:31
PRAYER
Heavenly father there is something refreshing about a new year – a new beginning – a new time to dream. But before I move forward let me wait upon you and reflect on all you have taught me this last year. As I wait upon you I feel my strength being renewed as I feel you preparing me to mount up and sore into new dimensions of your love. As I wait upon you for wisdom and direction, I begin to reflect on what I have already conquered this last year. I realize what you have taught me through both the blessings and the trials. In retrospect I understand how much I have grown through it all, even when I didn’t realise I was. Thank you for your fountain of blessings that refreshes me and prepares me for the year ahead. I am strengthened in your love so I can run and not grow weary, I shall walk in bold confidence into my future with you by my side, knowing I will not faint no matter what giants I face or what mountains I have to climb. I know you are with me and I will rise up on eagle’s wings and sore above this life's difficulties. In Jesus name, amen🕊

FOOT NOTE:
There are moments when life hurts too much to explain. Job lived there. After unimaginable loss, he sat in silence—then finally spoke in poetry, not logic. His words weren’t faithless; they were honest. Trauma often fractures language, and poetry becomes the heart’s way of saying, “I am not okay.”

Job’s longing wasn’t really for death—it was for rest. His mind couldn’t quiet. His grief followed him day and night. Many of us know that feeling. Sleepless nights. Anxious thoughts. A heaviness we can’t shake. Scripture doesn’t shame that exhaustion—it names it.

Jesus meets us in that same place when He says, “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.” He doesn’t demand polished prayers. He invites us to bring the weight we’re carrying and share the load with Him. In His presence, we discover that even lament can become a doorway to healing

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT ACTION: LOVE
Say this prayer today and watch how it changes your attitude: “God, give me patience by giving me opportunities to practice it.”

“Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.”
PSALM 126:5
JOIN US FOR NIGHTLY MEDIATION:
Based on Psalm 126
Tonight’s psalm offers hope and encouragement for those who are in seasons of struggle or sorrow. God sees every tear we sow, and His promise is that those tears will bring forth a harvest of joy. In His timing, He transforms pain into praise and mourning into gladness. Trusting Him through the hard times brings the assurance of His redemptive power.

Take a moment to surrender your sorrows to the Lord. Breathe out the weight of the day, and breathe in His promise of joy to come. Trust that your tears are not wasted but are seen and cherished by a God who will bring you into a season of rejoicing.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Praise God for His faithfulness to bring joy out of sorrow. Rejoice in His power to redeem every moment of pain and turn it into a blessing.

CONFESSION: Reflect on times when you’ve doubted that joy could follow sorrow. Confess those doubts and ask God to renew your trust in His promise to bring beauty from brokenness.

THANKSGIVING: Thank God for His promise to transform tears into joy. Express gratitude for the hope He provides, even in difficult seasons, and for the joy that awaits you.

SUPPLICATION: Father, I trust in Your promise that my tears will lead to joy. Help me to persevere through the difficult moments, knowing You are working for my good. Fill my heart tonight with hope and peace as I wait for the harvest of rejoicing!

PRAYER
As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
PSALM 42:1
My God and Savior, tonight, my soul requires rest. As a deer pants for streams of living water, my soul thirsts after Your Spirit. Day and night, I need Your refreshing presence to restore my soul and uphold my countenance. There are nights when I am restless, and thoughts thrash around my mind like waves upon the shore. Steady the waves, oh God. Calm the seas and speak peace over me as I sleep. When downcast and lacking rest, place me upon the gentle shores of love and grace. Let me feel the warmth of Your embrace. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.🕊

Beloved,
Think on this.
This season of your life isn't about doing more as it is about becoming more. BECOME is about the journey from who you've been to who God always knew you could be. It's the season where potential turns into pursuit, and pursuit turns into practice. Not just believing, but becoming. Verse of the day...Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Have a great Saturday 🙏🏾

PSALM 125:1

PRAYER
Blessed is he who considers the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the day of evil.
PSALM 41:1
Father, You are a God of compassion and charity. You look upon the poor and needy. You consider the broken and barren and extend them mercy. Grant me that same heart - a heart of tenderness and compassion for those in need. Keep me away from corruption and greed. I want to follow You with integrity. I want to worship You righteously. Forgive me for my sins, and relieve me from the heaviness of iniquity. I know You delight in me because You have freed me from the enemy. Please uphold me. Bless me and set me in Your presence forever. Uphold me as I sleep; when I rise, fill me afresh with Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, I trust and pray, Amen.🕊
