Monday, October 12th, 2026 🦋🐾❤️ Proverbs 27:1 (NIV) “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for waking us up to another day. Another opportunity to love, to learn, to forgive, and to do something good with the time You've given us. Lord, we spend so much time planning for tomorrow, worrying about next week, and thinking about what we still need to accomplish. Sometimes we forget to appreciate what's right in front of us. Help us slow down enough to recognize today's blessings. Give us wisdom to make good decisions, patience when things don't go as planned, and the courage to take care of what matters while we have the opportunity. Father, remind us that tomorrow isn't promised, but today is a gift. Help us use it wisely and never take the people we love for granted. In Jesus' name, Amen. Brothers and Sisters, Proverbs 27:1 is a reminder that none of us knows what tomorrow will bring. And wow, isn't that the truth? We make plans, put things off, and tell ourselves we'll get around to it tomorrow. But how many times have we learned that life can change in a heartbeat? So make that phone call. Tell somebody you love them. Forgive where you can. Stop waiting for the perfect moment to do something that matters. There's nothing wrong with planning for tomorrow. Just don't get so busy preparing for it that you forget to live today. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does. Stacey Brooks / TheGo2Stacey

Sunday, October 11th, 2026 🦋🐾 Psalm 9:13-14 “Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death, that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for another day and another opportunity to come before You. Lord, You know the struggles we're facing, the battles we're fighting, and the things weighing heavily on our hearts. When life knocks us down, help us find the strength to get back up. When we're hurting, remind us that we can come to You just as we are. We don't have to pretend everything is fine when it isn't. Father, have mercy on those who are struggling today. Lift up those who feel defeated, strengthen those who are weary, and give hope to those who can't see a way forward. And when You bring us through, help us remember to give You the praise. Don't let us get so caught up in the blessing that we forget the One who blessed us. In Jesus' name, Amen. Brothers and Sisters, David wasn't afraid to tell God when he was hurting. He cried out for mercy, asked for help, and still looked forward to praising Him. There's something powerful about that. We can be struggling and still have faith. We can be hurting and still trust God. And we can ask Him to lift us up while believing that better days are possible. Whatever you're facing today, don't stop talking to God. He can handle your tears, your questions, and your prayers. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does. Stacey Brooks / TheGo2Stacey

Saturday, October 10th, 2026 🦋 Matthew 24:12-13 “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for waking us up to another day. Lord, when we look at what's happening around us, it's hard not to notice how much anger, hatred, and disregard for others seem to be growing. But Father, don't let the condition of this world change the condition of our hearts. Help us stand firm in our faith without becoming bitter. Give us the courage to do what's right, even when it's unpopular. Teach us to love people without compromising Your truth and to remain faithful when following You isn't easy. Lord, when we're tired of the negativity, strengthen us. When we're tempted to give up on people, remind us how patient and merciful You've been with us. Keep our hearts tender, our faith strong, and our eyes on Jesus. In Jesus' name, Amen. Brothers and Sisters, Jesus warned us that as lawlessness increases, the love of many will grow cold. And whew, sometimes you can see exactly what He was talking about. But here's what we need to remember. Just because the world grows colder doesn't mean we have to. We can stand for what's right without becoming hateful. We can speak the truth without losing compassion. And we can keep loving people even when it's difficult. Don't let the darkness around you put out the light God placed within you. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does. Stacey Brooks / TheGo2Stacey

Friday, October 9th, 2026 🦋 Psalm 9:11-12 “Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done. For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for another day and another opportunity to praise Your holy name. Thank You for being a God who doesn't turn away from those who are hurting. Lord, there are people today carrying pain they haven't shared with anyone. Some are grieving, some are struggling, and some are wondering if their prayers are even being heard. Remind them that You haven't forgotten them. Help us praise You not only when life is good, but also when we're waiting for answers. Give us hearts that notice those who are suffering and the compassion to help where we can. Thank You for hearing every cry, seeing every tear, and caring about every one of us. In Jesus' name, Amen. Brothers and Sisters, Psalm 9:11-12 reminds us of something worth holding on to. God doesn't overlook suffering. He sees the injustice, hears the cries, and remembers those who are hurting. And while we're praising Him for what He's done in our lives, let's not forget to be there for someone who might be struggling today. Sometimes the encouragement someone needs comes through the kindness God places in our hearts. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does.

Thursday, October 8th, 2026 🦋 Philippians 4:13 (NIV) “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for waking us up to another day and giving us the strength to face whatever comes our way. Lord, some days we feel like we can take on the world, and other days just getting out of bed feels like a challenge. But Your Word reminds us that we don't have to depend on our own strength. When we're tired, give us strength. When we're discouraged, lift our spirits. And when we start doubting ourselves, remind us that with You, we can keep going even when things get difficult. Help us face today with courage, patience, and faith, knowing we don't have to do it alone. In Jesus' name, Amen. Brothers and Sisters, Philippians 4:13 doesn't mean life will always be easy or that everything will go our way. It means Christ gives us the strength to face what life brings. So whatever is on your plate today, don't count yourself out before you've even started. You might be tired. You might be struggling. But with Jesus, you have strength beyond your own. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does. Stacey Brooks / TheGo2Stacey
