Ephesians 6:18 NIV - “ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” For years, I treated prayer like a task on my spiritual checklist. I prayed because I knew  I was supposed to, not because I fully understood what prayer actually is. But as God began to draw me deeper, I learned that prayer is not a performance — it’s a relationship. I will never forget the m

Acts 1:8 NIV - "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." This last season has stretched me — is still stretching me . On the outside, it looked like I was being a faithful servant. Over the past two years, I was ordained as an elder and then as a chaplain. I served in nursing homes and prisons — bringing God’s love, hope, and comfort to people in hard

2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV “ But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” There have been many times I’ve had to repent for doubting what God has called me to do. I thought I was doubting myself, but in reality, I was doubting Him—doubting that He could use me in spite of my weaknesses, fears, and brokenness. I was acting as th

John 1:12 NIV  “ Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” Oh, what a glory it is to be a King’s Kid — a Child of the Most High God! When we said “yes” to Christ, we became part of a royal priesthood, adopted into His divine family, and set apart for His glory. There is truly nothing on earth that compares to belonging to Him. Throughout life, we make countless decisions — some big, some small. But only on

Philippians 3:14 NIV - “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” After my grandfather’s passing in June 2025, I began hearing stories that revealed even more about the man of God he was. I had always known him as “Gaga,” my grandfather — a man of God, loving, wise, and gentle. But others knew him as a faithful minister and true disciple. People shared stories of how he prayed for them, counseled them, and helped gui

Romans 8:28 NIV - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose." Ever since I was a teenager, this verse has been a foundational part of my life. My family would close out morning prayer with this scripture every single day. Nearly 30 years later, my parents still pray it faithfully — and they raised each of us to believe and live by it. Even as a child, I was taught that my life had a purpose big

Matthew 6:6 NIV - "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." When I was a young adult, I didn’t fully understand the importance of prayer. I prayed routinely, thanked God for the usual things, and went about my day. But when God called me to be an intercessor, I realized that would require a new level of commitment — not just in my prayer life, but in my rel

Matthew 28:19-20 NIV - “ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” When God first called me to ministry, I thought I could serve quietly in the background. That felt safe — I could still obey Him, but on my terms. I wanted to serve God and stay comfortable. But being a

Colossians 2:7 NIV - “rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” At the beginning of 2022, I went from earning the most money I had ever made in my career to being on disability for ten months because of COVID. During that time, my faith was tested over and over again. For years, I’ve lived by the motto: “Things will be okay, no matter what.” But that season stretched that belief in ways I never expected. Th

Exodus 3:14 NIV - "God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM’ has sent me to you."" When I was a child, we sang a song that said, “King’s Kid, Child of I AM.” At that age, I knew I was a child of God — but it took years before I truly understood what that meant. For a long time, I wrestled with my identity in Christ. I wondered who I was and what God wanted me to do. The truth is, I wasn’t giving God space to reveal Himself or my

Hebrews 12:2 NIV - "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Distractions are the enemy of destiny. Every one of us has been guilty of letting something pull our attention away from what truly matters. It’s easy to get caught up in what others are doing, scrolling through their highlight reels, or worrying about what’s happening

Ephesians 2:10 NIV - "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Over the years, I’ve met many people who believe they don’t have a purpose in life. They move through each day feeling lost — existing, but not truly living. I understand that feeling, because there was a time when I thought I had missed my purpose too. I didn’t understand who I was or what God wanted from me. Then I realized something life
