Faith Isn't Just for the Strong

-


What if your weakest moment was the doorway to something greater?

Tabitha’s story reminds us that faith is not about being perfect—it’s about trusting the One who can raise the broken and renew what feels lost.

When Peter arrived and knelt to pray, he didn’t have a magic formula. He trusted the risen Jesus—and that trust changed everything. (Acts 9:36-43)

You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to be unshakable. You just have to bring your need to Jesus.

💬 Reflect: What do I need to lay before God today?

  Day 7: Monday, March 10, 2025 Scripture: Psalm 27:1-6 Devotion: The psalmist begins with a powerful declaration: “The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?” Life’s wilderness moments often come with shadows of fear, but God’s light shines through. In a world that feels uncertain, God offers a solid foundation. The psalmist’s confidence comes not from an absence of danger but from the assurance of God’s presence. When we feel lost, God is our guiding light, showing us the next step forward. Action Steps: Write down a fear that you are carrying today and pray for God’s light to shine on it. Take a short walk outside, focusing on the light around you—whether it is sunlight or artificial light—and reflect on God as your light.

Love Beyond Limits John 13:31-35; Acts 11:1-18 Series: Rise Up: How to Start Living Again There’s a fable about a man who spent his whole life drawing lines. Each time someone disagreed with him, challenged him, or simply made him uncomfortable, he drew another line to put them on the outside. Over time, his circle got smaller and smaller. By the end of his life, he stood in the center of a tiny, lonely circle. But then he looked up and saw Jesus. Only Jesus wasn’t drawing lines—he was erasing them. That story isn’t in the Bible, but it might as well be. Because Jesus spent his life doing just that: erasing lines, widening circles, and welcoming the people others left out. I’ll be honest: I’ve drawn lines before. Maybe you have too. Sometimes without even realizing it. And today, Jesus invites us to see those lines—and let him erase them. Let me ask you: Have you ever been on the outside of someone’s line? Maybe you weren’t invited. Or you felt judged. Maybe a church told you in a ...
