When the end of Daylight Savings Time rolls around, many of us sigh, “Here we go again!” As today's prayer and devotional remind us, even though adjusting the clock by an hour may seem simple, it often disrupts our rhythm, leaving us feeling tired, confused, and slightly off-balance. Some of us might even show up late (or early!) to work, church, or appointments.

In this practical and faith-filled reflection, Lynette Kittle reminds us that even the passage of time is under God’s control. Whether we’re falling back or springing forward, God’s timing is always perfect. He invites us to approach every day — and every hour — with gratitude, patience, and faith.

By trusting God to guide us through life’s constant changes, we can turn this minor seasonal annoyance into an opportunity for spiritual growth. Each hour we’re given is a gift, a reminder that our lives are held in His hands. Instead of grumbling through the adjustment, we can use this moment to rest in His wisdom and give thanks for the time He’s entrusted to us.

Today's Bible Reading:
“For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.” – Proverbs 9:11

 

 Takeaway Truths

• Every hour is a gift from God — His timing is always perfect.

• We can trust God to guide us through changes and disruptions.

• Gratitude and patience help us embrace life’s rhythm with faith and peace.

🙏 Let’s Pray

Dear Father,

Thank You for going before us in every hour and season of life. As we adjust our clocks and our schedules, help us to rest in Your perfect timing. Calm our frustrations and renew our perspective when change feels inconvenient.

Teach us to trust You in every moment, to make wise use of our days, and to keep our hearts grateful for the time You’ve given. Help us to embrace each hour as an opportunity to grow in faith, patience, and peace.

Lead us graciously through every change — even this one — in a way that glorifies You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
