Your Daily Prayer

Teens struggle for acceptance among peers, and as parents, we need to remind them that they are loved and accepted just as God created them, not because of how they look, what they drive, or the toys that they possess. We need to pray against the negative influence they are most assuredly receiving from their peers. We need to be the loudest voice in their life, filling their hearts and minds with...

Many are creating a Christianity (and Jesus) to their own liking that allows them to continue to embrace worldly ideologies and philosophies that make them feel better about themselves. But in the gospels, Christ assures us that if we try to hang onto our life, we will lose it. If we want to hold onto the world, we will inevitably lose our soul. - Emily Massey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The...

While we need food daily to nourish our bodies, there is another kind of nourishment that feeds our souls and that’s Jesus Himself. - Alisha Headley SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about...

When a storm of life rages all around us, it’s hard to believe any relief waits beyond its terrifying fury. Gray clouds and devastating winds block our view of the coming sunrise. That’s when we must have faith in the certainty that storms will eventually cease. That light will shine once again. - Kristine Brown SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com...

The husband being the head of the home doesn’t mean the wife doesn’t get a say in what happens in the family or the wife is disconnected from family matters, it means at the end of the day, the husband is held responsible for the decisions made. It is God's order for the family. - Emily Massey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotion...

Often times, we may experience burnout or exhaustion trying to depend only on ourselves. When we depend daily on ourselves, it can lead to us daily denying our need for Jesus. - Alisha Headley SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian...

We know that God is with us and with our futures. It can be really easy to live in a future hope — so much so that we can miss the present — our once future. Even though we have so many hope-filled promises about the future, Jesus also reminds us to take care of what will happen today. - Molly Law SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devo...

In Psalm 139, the Bible says that He knew the days of my life and recorded them before I had even breathed my first breath. He knew what was best for me, more than I certainly knew for myself. Yet, it took many hard moments, such as being a military spouse and being states from home and my daughter being diagnosed with epilepsy, to realize that there were so many things I couldn’t control. Instead...

There are times when you and I must answer a phone call, open an envelope, or encounter a headline from a breaking news story that leaves us holding our breath. In these moments, fear feels powerful until we remember that we have an All-Powerful, All-Knowing, All-Present God. If you struggle with doubt and worry, you are not the only one. - Megan Evans SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswa...

God wants us to love each other in the same way that He loves – unconditionally. In fact, God wants us to love in such a way that the people around us will know we are fully devoted followers of Christ. I wonder what our relationships would look like if we did love the way Jesus loves us. - Mary Southerland SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/cros...

When life is stagnant, it can be hard to hear God’s guiding voice. It is an unknown occurrence that happens from time to time. We can be in the Word, seeking God through prayer daily, yet no doors seem to be opening, all we hear are crickets in return. - Molly Law SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  h...

Smack dab in the middle of the Lord’s prayer found in Matthew 6 and Luke 11, Jesus is teaching his followers how to pray. After He has blessed the name of God the Father and shared his desire for the Lord’s kingdom to come and will to be done, we find a few short yet powerful words: give us this day our daily bread. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https:/...

In Galatians 6:2, the apostle Paul encourages the church with this, “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” He knew there would be times when we would need help, and as a fellowship of believers, we can fulfill God’s great plan by being there to help carry one another’s burdens. - Kristine Brown SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www....

Over and over in Scripture, we see a common command of God to respect those who are older than us and to not forget them in their old age. There is such beauty in learning from the generations who have come before us. We all have things that we can take away from each other. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Y...

Stephanos, Fortunatus, Achaicus, Tychicus, Barnabus, Timothy, and Onesimus. When you hear these names, what does it make you think of? For many of us, most of these names would not “ring any bells” at all. So who were they? And why were they mentioned in Scripture? - Maggie Cooper SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Dail...

Whether it is in our daily places of work or school, in our homes, in our churches, in our organizations, or on our favorite teams, there are leaders. The Lord has specifically called certain people to positions of leadership among believers. In Hebrews 13, this is addressed. It says to remember our leaders and think about their lives and imitate their faith. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister...

Scripture calls us in Romans to celebrate and empathize with those around us. People are celebrating exciting news, and we join in the rejoicing. However, not every day is going to be a walk in the park. When others come to us in mourning, the response of a believer in Christ should be to mourn with them. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeau...

Today, may we be reminded that we have a God who sees us. He hears our cries for help, even the silent ones. He knows what those we care for are in need of, and it is His good pleasure to show us His goodness. May you be encouraged to seek the Lord and know that He answers. - Victoria Riollano SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotion...

It can be so hard to reconcile the reality of death and suffering with the goodness of God. I believe that the tragedies in life are not created by God nor is it part of His plan or will. Unfortunately, we live in a broken world, and when sin entered the world with the fall of humanity, the reality of death entered as well. - Molly Law SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  h...

When our heart is overwhelmed with the cares of this life, we must take the time to cast them upon the Lord (1 Peter 5:7). Like Psalm 61 tells us, we are to cry out to God, for He alone is our protection and refuge against the chaos of this life. Jesus Christ, our rock, is our firm foundation when the ground beneath our feet feels shaky. We can run to Him for safety and trust that when the waves c...

With the Lord’s help, we can have all the strength that we need to just keep on doing good to everyone and not grow weary or give up. Since Christ is living in us, we can know that no situation is beyond His power or is even out of His plan. He will work in us, through us, and for us in every situation that we face today if we do not give up. - Tiffany Thibault SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Th...

I still find myself in this battle of knowing what the Lord is saying but not always wanting to do it. Things like gossip, vanity, jealousy, comparison, and ungodly thoughts creep in, and my actions do not always reflect the God whom I serve. Yet, this battle is not new to Christians. - Victoria Riollano SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswa...

What step of faith is God asking you to take today? Will you put everything into His almighty hands, adjust your life to what you are praying for, and step out by faith in whatever way He leads? When you do this, you become dependent in His dependable hands. He is waiting for your invitation to enlarge your faith. - Debbie Przybylski SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  htt...
