Before Jesus returns, He spoke to us about a season of wars. He warned of kingdoms rising against kingdoms, of famines, and of diseases sweeping across the world. Everything we’ve trusted in will be shaken.

He described a time when the people of God would be abandoned and betrayed, when false voices claiming to represent God would rise and try to lead many astray. Lawlessness will increase, and the love in many hearts will grow cold—cold to the true work of God on the earth, which is the redemption of the lost.

Yet in the midst of it all, Jesus promises to give each of us endurance to make it to the end. This is not a human endurance—it is strength given by the Holy Spirit.

Ask God for it today.

It’s time to pray.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reflects the words of Jesus: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13).

As we honor these heroes today, we also find comfort in God’s promises. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).

If today brings sorrow, may you find peace in knowing that God sees, God cares, and God holds every tear. Let’s not take for granted the freedoms we enjoy. Let’s pray for the families who continue to bear the weight of this loss.

May God bless you, and may He continue to bless this nation. Be thankful for those who gave their all so that you and I can live in freedom. And when we pray, let’s always remember this cost.

It’s time to pray.

I don’t know what our generation will face in the future, but I sense it won’t be easy. The Bible warns us of wars, rumors of wars, famines, and pestilence—signs of disruption on nearly every level. This world is experiencing birth pains, anticipating the return of Jesus Christ. A worldwide rebellion against His lordship is looming.

Yet even now, you and I have a chance to turn to God with all our hearts and seek His forgiveness. Today, you can receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Even in the midst of the floods surrounding you, you can choose to shout for joy and declare, as King David once did: “I will trust in God.”

Though the mountains may fall into the sea and the waters may rise, keep your heart steadfast in faith. Embrace this opportunity that God has given you to trust Him fully.

Talk to Him.

It’s time to pray.

We find ourselves in a time when turmoil seems rampant. Social unrest, cultural divides, and personal struggles create a whirlwind of confusion. In this environment, a torrent of often misleading opinions circulates, with everyone claiming to have the answers.

Yet amidst this noise, there is one voice that rises above it all—the voice of God.

It is His voice that calls us to safety, offering a message of forgiveness and urging us to seek something solid and unchanging in a world full of uncertainty.

Let us tune into His powerful voice today and allow it to guide our thoughts and actions. As we do, we can become beacons of hope and joy in a world that so desperately needs it. Through kindness, encouragement, or simply sharing your joy, let your voice be heard—proclaiming God’s good news to those around you.

It’s time to pray.

Psalm 32:6 says, “For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely in a flood of great waters, they shall not come near him.”

In challenging times—when trials, negativity, and condemnation surround you—turn to Christ with confidence. God promises His protection, assuring that while troubles may flow around you, they will not harm you. Isn’t that incredible?

He wraps you in His arms and assures you that He will never leave or forsake you. He will be a friend who stays closer than a brother.

Seek Him with an honest heart today.

My brother, my sister, it's time to pray.

The apostle Paul told Timothy that those who labor must first partake of the fruits—urging a deep understanding of this principle. He also pointed out the danger of hypocrisy: preaching against actions that one practices in secret.

It’s alarming to witness so much spiritual blindness in ministry today—individuals living immorally while still leading large congregations, as if they’re exempt from the truth they proclaim.

I once had a conversation with an apologist and confronted him about the darkness I saw within him. His brilliance allowed him to manipulate Scripture, risking his own spiritual well-being. Thankfully, he listened.

It’s far better to be a humble person who finishes well than to pursue wisdom just for its own sake. Our goal must be to apply God’s wisdom in our own lives first—before sharing it with others.

Let’s live authentically, making sure our hearts are truly aligned with God’s truth.

It’s time to pray.

You’re probably aware that incredible evil is taking hold of this generation—our children, our schools, and our society. Darkness is growing, and the ways of God are in danger of being almost eradicated in this season.

There are mountains that need to be spoken to, and if ever there was a time to have faith in God, it’s now. As believers in Jesus Christ, we must not doubt but believe that what God has said in the Scriptures, He will do. He told us we could have faith to move mountains.

We have to believe—without doubting—that when we pray, He will actually do what He said. Don’t live your life believing that God can’t use you. We must pray now for a fresh anointing so we can be people of faith in this generation and truly represent the power of God through Jesus Christ.

Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to empower us again and give us the faith and boldness we now need to stand.

Start talking to God about it.

It’s time to pray.

How could Solomon—the wisest man—end up building temples to heathen gods that required the sacrifice of children, without realizing it was wrong?

Scripture tells us that his heart was turned by the love he allowed into his life as he grew older. This serves as a sobering warning: as we age, natural zeal may fade, revealing what truly exists within us.

Just like a desert lizard that wags its tail to cover its tracks from predators, it eventually ages, the tail stiffens, and it becomes vulnerable—no longer able to hide its tracks. Likewise, in the Christian journey, authenticity becomes more apparent as one matures in faith.

Reflect today on the genuineness of your relationship with Christ. As you grow older, nurture a faith that is real—one not concealed by outward appearances but rooted deeply in truth.

It’s time to pray.

Have you ever felt a call to do something significant in the kingdom of God—or to become someone you’re not yet? Maybe you wrestle with feelings of inadequacy, wondering if you’re ready or mature enough for this calling.

You might find yourself crying out to God:

“I feel like a child. I don’t know how to love others as I should, or forgive my enemies. I don’t know how to be the husband or wife I need to be, or the father or mother my family deserves.”

In these moments, ask God for the wisdom to fulfill His calling on your life. Trust that He will equip you with everything you need to grow into the person He has called you to be.

Talk to God about this today. He longs to give you the new life He has promised in Scripture.

He will—if you ask Him.

It’s time to pray.

Romans 7:18 says, “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.”

At the cross, you and I are invited to bring our flawed selves—this body entrenched in sin—and exchange it for the new life promised to us through Jesus Christ. We can trade our failures for His strength, our confusion for clarity, our cowardice for His love, and our fear for His courage.

Let go today of what hinders you, and embrace the transformed life that God offers. Take a moment now to bring your struggles to Him and accept the new life He wants to give you.
