Reflection

Cultivate a habit of regular prayer and Bible study to keep your mind focused on God’s truth. This spiritual discipline helps you stay alert and discern the subtle ways the enemy might try to deceive or discourage you.

Avoid spiritual complacency by regularly examining your heart and actions. Are there areas in your life where you need to be more disciplined or vigilant? Seek accountability and support from fellow believers to help you stay on track.

Let the promise of Christ’s return fuel your perseverance and joy. In times of trial or suffering, remind yourself of the grace that awaits you. This future-focused hope can provide strength and encouragement, enabling you to endure hardships with a steadfast heart.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, I ask for Your forgiveness for the times I have fallen short of Your glory. Cleanse my heart, renew my spirit, and help me to walk in Your ways. Give me the strength to resist temptation and the wisdom to make choices that honor You.

Father, I lift up my worries and burdens to You. You know the challenges I am facing, the fears that grip my heart, and the uncertainties that cloud my mind. I lay them at Your feet, trusting in Your perfect plan and timing. Grant me peace that surpasses all understanding, and help me to find rest in Your presence.

In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

    Alona Smith writes like she sketches—quick strokes, bold colors, no eraser. She ran a small-town art studio before VerseForTheDay invited her to swap charcoal for chapters, yet paint still flecks her keyboard. Dawn finds her barefoot on the porch, swirling watercolors across a travel Bible, letting sunrise seep into the margins. Neighbors wave as she bikes to the farmers’ market, basket rattling with sunflowers and Psalms scribbled on kraft-paper price tags.Alona trusts that Scripture behaves like clay: press your palms in, and a vessel appears where empty air once lived. Afternoon workshops with foster teens prove the point; they mold hope into coffee mugs, then watch steam carry it forward.Diplomas? Only framed sketches of hands lifted in worship. Awards? A dog-eared gratitude list taped to her fridge. Open her reflections when cynicism scratches—she’ll slide a brush into your grip and show you light hiding in the smear of everyday color.
