Sometimes, God’s instructions don’t make sense. When a situation at work left me hurt and frustrated, my first instinct was to defend myself to escalate things and make sure justice was done. But before I could, I felt a quiet whisper in my spirit: “Don't do it.” Then came another instruction even harder to obey: “Pray for her.”
Sex outside of marriage can leave behind shame, broken hearts, and confusion. But even deeper than that, it blinds us to something far more beautiful: a kind of love that honors, waits, and reflects Christ.
Many wives pray for their husbands to change—but true transformation often starts with us. Before asking God to work in your spouse’s heart, pray for “the wife of your husband”: yourself. When we invite God to heal our hearts, shift our perspective, and fill us with His love, our prayers for our husbands become far more powerful and effective.
What would your life look like if the Lord had not been on your side? A reflection on Psalm 124 that invites gratitude not only for what God has given, but for what He has quietly carried us through.
Waiting isn’t wasted time; it’s often where God does His deepest work. When we pause long enough to let God move, we discover that He’s not delaying us. He’s developing us. Waiting becomes the place where His timing shapes our hearts, renews our strength, and reveals His perfect purpose.
God is speaking more often than we think; the problem is not the signal but our attention. We hear His voice, yet we stay distracted and miss our turn.
The verse of Isaiah 2:22 struck my heart deeply today during my Bible reading. It echoed in my spirit like a personal command from the Lord: “Jürgen, stop trusting in man in someone whose breath is in his nostrils, who is limited in his days and strength. Why rely on him for what only the Creator can provide? Why expect from him the safety, wisdom, and satisfaction that only God offers?”
Sex outside of marriage can leave behind shame, broken hearts, and confusion. But even deeper than that, it blinds us to something far more beautiful: a kind of love that honors, waits, and reflects Christ.
True joy is not found in holding on, but in pouring out. When we give, whether it's time, care, finances, or help, we become part of God’s movement of love on the earth.
God still works miracles today — often closer and simpler than we expect. In a moving story of a fast-food worker who received a car at just the right moment, we’re reminded that behind every timely gift or last-minute answer stands God’s hand. Whether spectacular or everyday — a prayer answered, a friend’s help, a new opportunity — every solution ultimately comes from Him. This reflection invites us to look for His miracles in our own lives and to thank Him first.
To be disarmed in His presence is not to lose strength, but to lay down every weapon that once kept His Love away. In surrender, He becomes our shield and we become His vessel.
A sudden moment of fear reminded me of the power of thanksgiving. As I began to thank God for His protection and faithfulness, peace replaced fear. The Power of Thanksgiving reveals how gratitude becomes a spiritual weapon that restores the heart.
