Key Scripture: Psalm 62:8 (NIV) “Pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” Devotional God desires honesty in relationship. Psalm 62:8 invites us to pour out our hearts—not filtered, not polished, but real. Relationship deepens when we stop hiding parts of ourselves from God. We sometimes believe God only wants our faith-filled words, but He welcomes our fears, frustrations, and questions too. Prayer becomes healing when honesty replaces performance. Bringing your whole self to God builds intimacy. …

Key Scripture: Jeremiah 9:23–24 (NIV) “Let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me.” Devotional God desires to be known personally, not just studied intellectually.

Learning to Abide

3 1 1

Key Scripture: John 15:4 (NLT) “Remain in me, and I will remain in you.” Devotional Abiding is about staying connected—not occasionally, but continually. Jesus invites us into a relationship where dependence is not weakness, but life-giving. Abiding shifts faith from visiting God to dwelling with Him. When we rush through life disconnected from God, we feel drained and restless. Abiding restores alignment. It reminds us that fruitfulness flows naturally from closeness, not striving. Remaining in God requires intentional pauses. It …

Sometimes we avoid closeness with God because we think we need to clean ourselves up first. But Scripture tells us the opposite. …

Key Scripture: Genesis 1:27 (NLT) “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Devotional Before God ever gave instructions, assignments, or responsibilities, He established relationship. Genesis reminds us that we were created in His image—not simply to exist, but to know Him and be known by Him. Relationship with God is not something we earn; it is something we were designed for. When we forget …
