“In the beginning God created…” (Gen 1:1) God created — past tense. But God is — present tense. He didn’t stop being God after creation. He’s not a memory. Not a myth. He is the I AM. Still here. Still holding it all. Still speaking light into the dark. #Devotional

“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:24 This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s trusting a God who moves mountains. Ask boldly. Believe deeply. Wait faithfully. He knows what to give — and when.

Feeling the pressure? The stress? Life moves fast - but Jesus says: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 NKJV) Not “do more.” Not “try harder.” Just… come. He gives rest - because He is peace.

You were not a mistake. Not a second thought. Not an afterthought. Ephesians 1:4 says: “He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world…” His love was never exclusive, but it was always intentional. You’re invited. Not by force, but by grace.

You don’t need the perfect plan. Just bring it to Him — the idea, the prayer, the project. Proverbs 16:3 says: “Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” Clarity comes after surrender. Let Him lead. — Eric & Monique #rekindle #ericandmonique

This ache won’t last forever. The tension. The waiting. The silent tears. “The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared…” (Rom 8:18) What’s ahead is greater than what’s hurting now. God’s not wasting any of it. Hold on. Glory is coming.

Fear keeps score. Love keeps you secure. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear…” — 1 John 4:18 (NKJV) God’s love doesn’t flinch at your mess. You are fully known and deeply loved. And fear has no place there.

You’re not who you used to be. Colossians 3:10 says you’ve “put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.” This isn’t just self-improvement. It’s God restoring His image in you. In Jesus, you’re being remade.

“God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and my song.” — Isaiah 12:2 NKJV Let Him carry what you can’t.

You don’t have to guess what God is like — or wonder if He’s safe. 1 John 4:16 says, “God is love.” Not just loving. Love itself. Stay connected to Him, and you stay wrapped in that love. You are known. You are safe. You are loved.

Death won’t get the last word. Isaiah 25:8 says, “He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces.” (NKJV) One day, all sorrow ends. But even now, your tears are not wasted. The same God who will wipe them away… is already holding them.

“He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6 God doesn’t leave things half-done. Even when you don’t see progress — He’s still working. Still shaping. Still faithful. The story’s not over. He finishes what He starts.

“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.” (Romans 12:14) It goes against everything in us. But Jesus calls us to respond with grace — not because they deserve it, but because we’ve been shown mercy. Forgiveness isn’t weakness. It’s the strength to live free.

Some loves don’t last. Some lips bless, then curse. But God’s love? It’s better than life. “Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.” Psalm 63:3 Worship isn’t always a feeling. Sometimes it’s a choice to trust the One who never stops loving you

God’s not bitter you left. He’s just glad you’re back. Luke 15:32 — “Your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.” No scorekeeping. No lecture. Just a celebration. If you’ve been running, you can come home. His arms are still open.

What lies are you believing about yourself? “We were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” (Num. 13:33 NKJV) God had promised the land.. but they believed fear over His word. Don’t let false identity shrink your calling.

Prayer isn’t a performance—or a wishlist. It’s a heart-to-heart with the God who moves mountains. “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe…” (Mark 11:24) A call to trust. Ask boldly. Trust deeply.

You don’t have to fear falling out of grace. Jesus isn’t letting go. “I give them eternal life… neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”John 10:28 NKJV

They sang before the miracle. Acts 16:25 “At midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns…” Then the chains fell. Worship isn’t weak. It shifts things. Sing, even in the dark. God still breaks chains. #rekindle #devotional #bible

You don’t have to impress God. You don’t need perfect words. Matthew 6:7 — “When you pray… they think they will be heard for their many words.” God is moved by honesty, not performance. Just speak. He’s listening.
