Why does God answer some prayers while others seem to go unheard? In today’s episode of A Week Ahead With God, Ken Robinson tackles this honest and often frustrating question by exploring what it really means to pray according to God’s will.

Drawing from 1 John 5:14-15 and personal experience, Ken unpacks how aligning our prayers with God’s heart can shift not only our perspective—but also the outcome. This isn’t about perfect words or religious routines; it’s about surrender, trust, and learning to say, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

You’ll hear how motives, mindset, and obedience all play a role in powerful, effective prayer. Ken shares the difference between praying from emotion and praying from alignment—and how a straightforward shift can open the door to peace, clarity, and breakthrough.

Whether you're feeling unheard, frustrated, or just confused about how prayer works, this episode offers fresh encouragement and biblical truth to help you reconnect with God through worship that moves His heart.

Life can be draining. Responsibilities, challenges, and unexpected problems can leave us feeling tired, empty, and overwhelmed. But God has given us a source of renewal that never runs dry — His Word.

In this episode of The Week Ahead with God Podcast, Ken Robinson reminds us that Scripture isn’t just ancient history or advice on a page. It is living, active, and powerful, able to revive our spirits and bring fresh strength when we need it most. Psalm 19:7 says, “The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul.” Just as water revives a thirsty body, God’s Word refreshes a weary heart.

Ken explains that our souls, just like our bodies, need daily nourishment. One meal doesn’t sustain us forever — and one reading of Scripture isn’t enough for a lifetime. We need God’s Word each day if we want to stay strong, clear-minded, and filled with hope.

You’ll hear three practical steps to let God’s Word refresh you:

1. Make space for Scripture every day, even if it’s just a few minutes.
2. Read with expectation, trusting that God will speak through His Word.
3. Carry it with you by memorizing, writing down, or reflecting on a verse throughout the day.

If you’ve been feeling spiritually dry or running on empty, this episode will point you back to the stream of living water that revives the soul. God’s Word has refreshed believers for thousands of years — and it can do the same for you today.

It’s easy to race through life without stopping to notice the beauty of the present moment. We get caught up in yesterday’s regrets and tomorrow’s worries, and in the process, we overlook the truth that today is a precious gift.

In this episode of The Week Ahead with God Podcast, Ken Robinson reflects on Psalm 118:24: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

This simple verse carries a powerful reminder — every sunrise is God’s gift to us. Today is not ordinary. It is a day the Lord has created for you to live, grow, and experience His presence.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why learning to see each day as a gift transforms your outlook.
• How rejoicing in God’s presence doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances.
• Practical ways to embrace gratitude in the middle of daily routines.
• How to honour God with the opportunities He places in front of you.

“Today is not just another square on the calendar,” Robinson explains. “It’s a treasure hand-wrapped by God, and He invites us to rejoice in it.”

If you’re longing to find more joy in your everyday life, this episode will help you pause, refocus, and step into today with gratitude and hope.

🎧 Listen now and be reminded that each day you’re given is truly a gift from God.

Every day we’re bombarded by voices — from the news, social media, and even our doubts. Over time, these voices can shape the way we think, often leaving us anxious, discouraged, or stuck in negative patterns. But the Bible tells us there’s a better way.

In this episode of The Week Ahead with God Podcast, Ken Robinson unpacks Romans 12:2, which says: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

This verse reminds us that true transformation doesn’t start with our circumstances changing — it begins in the mind. When we allow God’s truth to shape our thinking, everything else falls into alignment.

In today’s devotional, you’ll discover:

• Why daily renewal is essential for a thriving faith.
• How to identify thought patterns that pull you away from God.
• Practical steps to let scripture reshape your perspective.
• The peace and clarity that come from focusing on God’s promises.

“Transformation begins not when life around us shifts, but when God’s Word renews our minds,” Robinson explains.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by worry, negativity, or old ways of thinking, this episode will encourage you to start fresh by letting God’s truth lead your thoughts today.

🎧 Listen now and let your mind be renewed with God’s promises.

No matter who we are, we all fall short. Mistakes, failures, and sins can leave us feeling weighed down and unworthy. But the incredible truth of the gospel is this: God doesn’t leave us trapped in guilt. Through His forgiveness, He wipes the slate clean and gives us a brand-new start.

In this episode of The Week Ahead with God Podcast, Ken Robinson unpacks the promise of 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why confession is less about shame and more about freedom.
• How God’s forgiveness not only cancels sin but purifies our hearts.
• It means to walk forward in confidence, free from the chains of guilt.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God could truly forgive you — or if you’ve struggled to forgive yourself — this devotional will encourage you with the truth of God’s unfailing grace.

You don’t have to carry yesterday’s failures into today. In Christ, you can experience a fresh start and step into the future with renewed hope.

We’ve all had days we wish we could erase — words we regret, choices we’d take back, or opportunities we missed. The truth is, holding on to yesterday’s mistakes can weigh us down and rob us of the fresh start God wants to give us today.

In this episode of The Week Ahead with God Podcast, Ken Robinson unpacks the hope found in Philippians 3:13-14, where the Apostle Paul says, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Through this encouraging devotional, you’ll discover:

• Why your past does not have the power to define your future.
• How God’s grace frees you to move forward with confidence.
• Simple steps you can take today to release regret and embrace God’s new beginning.

If you’ve been stuck replaying old mistakes, this message is for you. God’s Word reminds us that His mercies are new every morning, and He calls us to press on with fresh hope.

Start your day encouraged, uplifted, and ready to walk in the freedom God has for you.
