❤️ You've carried so much, but look how far God has brought you.
My brothers and sisters, every difficult day you've overcome, every tear you've wiped away, every step you've taken when you felt like giving up—God has been with you through it all.
And He's not leaving you now. ❤️
You don't have to figure everything out today. Keep walking in faith, one little step at a time. The same God who carried you yesterday will give you strength for tomorrow.
You are loved. You are never alone. And your story is still unfolding in His hands. 🐑❤️
Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! — Isaiah 46:4
What is one thing you're trusting God with today?

Some mornings, the most important thing you can remember is this:
you are not walking into the day alone.
The Holy Spirit is with you in the decisions you have to make, the conversations you are nervous about, the places you feel tired, and even the moments no one else sees.
You do not have to have everything figured out before the day begins. You can simply pray, **“Holy Spirit, lead me.”**
Lead my thoughts before fear takes over.
Lead my words before I react.
Lead my steps when I am unsure.
Grow Your fruit in me when life feels difficult.
And use my life to bring someone else a little closer to Jesus today.
Whatever is waiting for you, remember: **greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.**
May the Holy Spirit give you peace, wisdom, strength, and a deep awareness of God’s presence today.

My brothers and sisters.
Maybe you haven't prayed in weeks.
Maybe you've been smiling on the outside while quietly falling apart inside.
Maybe you've told yourself God is disappointed in you… that you've wandered too far, failed too many times, and there's no way back.
But hear this tonight: He is not angry. He is waiting.
He's been standing at the end of the road this whole time. Watching. Hoping. Calling your name into the dark. Every day you stayed away, His heart ached for you. Not because of what you did, but because He missed you.
And the moment you turn around, even with tears in your eyes and nothing to offer, He will run to you. He won't ask where you've been. He'll just hold you and say, "My child is home." 🤍
"But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him." (Luke 15:20)
You don't have to clean yourself up first. You don't have to have the right words. Just come.
This weekend, come home.
If this is you, type "Father, I'm home" below. Our team will pray over every single name this weekend. You are not alone. 🙏

We are back with our daily devotional, and today our hearts are full of gratitude.
Over the past little while, our team has been walking through a season where we have needed God’s healing in a very personal way. One of our team members has now recovered, and another is still on the road to recovery. We are deeply thankful for every prayer, every kind word, and every brother and sister who has stood with us.
Through it all, we keep coming back to this truth: **God is our Healer.**
He is still Jehovah Rapha — the Lord who heals. He is still faithful when the answer comes quickly, and He is still faithful when healing takes time. We believe He is a covenant-keeping God. His character has not changed. His compassion has not changed. His promises have not changed.
So today, as we return to our daily devotionals, we do so with a fresh testimony in our hearts.
God has carried us, God has strengthened us, and God is still healing.
If you are waiting for healing in your body, your mind, your heart, or your family, may these words encourage you. You are not forgotten. Keep bringing your need before the Lord. Keep holding onto His Word. Keep trusting His heart, even in the waiting.
“I am the Lord who heals you.” — Exodus 15:26
Thank you, Jesus First Ministry family, for praying with us and standing with us. We are so grateful to be back.
May the Lord bring healing, strength, peace, and restoration to every person reading this today. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Maybe you’ve read the promise a hundred times, but today you need it to hold you.
Some days, we know God is faithful, yet our hearts still need reminding.
When the answers take longer than expected and life feels uncertain, His Word is still true.
Whatever you are carrying today, may God meet you there. May His presence quiet your fears, His love restore your hope, and His faithfulness give you the courage to take the next step.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to rest in the One who holds your tomorrow.
Save this for a day when your heart needs reminding, and share it with someone who needs a little encouragement today. 🙏

Your future rests in the hands of a faithful God.
You may not see the whole journey, but His wisdom is guiding you, His grace is carrying you, and His presence is already waiting ahead.
You are seen, held, and lovingly led.
Share this and bless someone today.

What if the door you’ve been praying for isn’t the door God has for you?
Sometimes we want a door to open. But what our hearts really need is **the right door** — the one that leads where God wants us to go.
This Saturday, our Jesus First family is coming together to pray for **RIGHT DOORS** — the right opportunities, the right people, the right timing, and the courage to walk through when God makes the way clear.
See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it.” — Revelation 3:8
And I want to personally invite **you** to come pray with us.
Maybe there is something you’ve been quietly waiting for. Maybe you’ve been asking, *“Lord, which way do I go from here?”* You don’t have to carry that prayer alone.
Come back this Saturday. Bring whatever is on your heart.
Let’s place those doors into God’s hands together. ❤️

Some days feel heavy before they even begin.
But you do not have to carry this life by yourself. God sees you, God holds you, and God is still pouring His goodness over you even now. The same God who saves you will also sustain you. So you can breathe again, hope again, and step forward again—because you are deeply loved and faithfully carried.
Psalm 68:19
