From The Pastor’s Study:
Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾:
Luke 24:31
SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 2026
“When you feel alone, pray; He still sends fire and rain for faith.”

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him;
LUKE 24:31

PRAYER
As I am traveling through life and when I experience moments of sadness because it seems You’re not with me any longer, I will be reminded of Luke 24:13-45. I will remember that Your Word declares that You will never leave me nor forsake me. When I am sitting in silence and solitude, reveal Yourself to me. When I am fellowshipping with others, reveal Yourself to me. When I am walking throughout my day attune my heart and spirit so that I can tell when You are in my midst. Unlike the disciples who remained fearful from the attack of the religious, I will live loud and unashamed in front of those who desire to judge me, because I know who is with me and in me! Walk with me Jesus, speak to the areas of my life that need Your calming presence, I am open and available. I’m ready for Your revelation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

THE ROAD:
Have you ever felt like you are the only one trying to follow Jesus, while everyone else seems louder, stronger, or more sure? When pressure rises, it can feel safer to stay quiet than to risk being misunderstood.

In 1 Kings 18, Elijah stood on Mount Carmel while hundreds called on Baal, and nothing answered. Then he prayed, and the Lord sent fire, and the people admitted the truth they had forgotten (1 Kings 18:36-39). James later reminds us that Elijah was “a human being, even as we are,” and God still heard his prayer and sent rain (James 5:17-18).

If today feels like your own Mount Carmel, you do not have to prove anything on your own. You can bring your honest fear to Him and ask for His help, one simple prayer at a time. The same God who showed up then is still near, steady, and faithful with you now.

From The Pastor’s Study:
Your Nightly Prayer 🌙 Psalm 59:16 FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2026
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. PROVERBS 6:6-8
DEVOTION
Based on Proverbs 6
Even the smallest creatures can teach us wisdom. The ant works with diligence, foresight, and discipline—without needing reminders. This proverb reminds us that wise living includes responsibility and preparation. Laziness may feel easy, but it leads to a lack of regret.

God honors effort and self-motivation. When we take initiative and plan, we reflect His design. Are there areas in your life that need order or discipline? Learn from the ant. Work with faithfulness. Plan with purpose. Your steady diligence is worship.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: God, You are wise and orderly. All creation reflects Your care and purpose—even the smallest creatures.

CONFESSION: I admit I’ve delayed responsibilities and ignored opportunities to grow in discipline. I’ve waited for motivation instead of acting in obedience.

THANKSGIVING: Thank You for Your Word that speaks plainly and practically. Thank You for showing me how even small actions can carry incredible value.

SUPPLICATION: Lord, help me to approach each day with purpose. Please give me the strength to build good habits and discipline. Teach me to prepare for the future with faith, not fear. May my daily efforts reflect Your wisdom and give You glory.

PRAYER
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
PSALM 59:16
O my Strength, as I lay myself down to rest, I seek Your divine presence to guide me throughout this night. May the peace of Your immeasurable power overshadow my fears and doubts, and may Your matchless grace guard my slumber. You alone are my fortress, and I find refuge in Your steadfast love. As I close my eyes, I trust in Your promise to meet me in the night and to let me look in triumph on my enemies. In the stillness of this moment, I surrender my anxieties and apprehensions to You. I place my tomorrow in Your hands, and I trust that whatever it brings, Your unwavering steadfastness will sustain me. God, grant me the serenity to rest in Your love and the wisdom to discern Your will. May my dreams be filled with visions of Your glory and my heart be comforted by Your holy presence. And when tomorrow comes, may I rise with renewed strength and courage to face the challenges ahead. For in You, O my God, I find my peace, hope, and all. In Jesus’ Name, amen.🙏🏾
Rest well my friends 🕊

Beloveds,
No matter how bad you may think your life is, there's always someone that's worse off than you. Verse of the day...Ecclesiastes 7:14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. Have a Fabulous Friday!

NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAP🥶

Everyone ran in the school premises ran out. One woman stayed and saved 800 kids.

A gunman walked into a Georgia elementary school with an AK-47 and nearly 500 rounds, ready to die. Antoinette Tuff, the school bookkeeper, was alone at the front desk.

She didn't have a weapon. She had her voice. For nearly 25 minutes she kept him talking, telling him about her own struggles, her failed marriage, her hardest days.

Then she said the words that stunned the world: "We're not going to hate you."

He put down his rifle and surrendered. Not one child was harmed.
