A single line of scripture reframed our morning: the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. From that anchor, we moved through worship, honest petitions for strength and clarity, and a powerful story of protection after a head-on collision where both drivers walked away without a scratch. The moment didn’t erase the damage; it revealed a deeper covering and reminded us to look for our own overlooked rescues.

We talk about the kind of strength that meets hard days with a guarded mind, not a hardened heart. Depression, anxiety, and stress are named and resisted, while peace that guards both heart and mind is requested as a daily shield. We lean into spiritual authority without swagger, asking for wisdom to use it to quiet the enemy’s noise and to choose integrity when temptation arrives. Light doesn’t argue with darkness; it simply shines—and that becomes our practical strategy at work, at home, and online.

Healing takes center stage as we intercede for those recovering from surgeries and those facing serious diagnoses. We ask for shortened recoveries, restored function, and outcomes that surprise doctors, trusting the God who specializes where we feel outmatched. Through it all, surrender steadies us: not our will, but the Father’s will, as the Holy Spirit leads our decisions. The devotional pulls the theme tight—sometimes we’re placed in difficult spaces on purpose, not to drain us but to use us. One kind word, one act of grace, one act of courage can change the atmosphere.
