Your Nightly Prayer

Overcoming the Fear of Missing Out


Listen Later

Psalm 84:10 reminds us that one moment in the presence of God is better than a thousand elsewhere. But sometimes, our hearts need help believing that. When we feel left behind or unseen, it's easy to fall into comparison and insecurity. In this evening prayer, Michelle invites us to name those feelings honestly and bring them to Jesus, the one who positions us, provides for us, and is our portion.

FOMO—the fear of missing out—isn’t just for social media scrolls and flash sales. It’s a deeply human feeling that seeps into our spiritual lives too. Whether you’ve had to pass on a faith event, feel like you’ve been overlooked in ministry, or find yourself silently grieving opportunities that others get to experience, tonight’s devotional from Michelle Treacy offers a gentle, grace-filled word: Jesus is enough.

There is deep joy in simply being with God. In resting in His presence, in trusting His timing, and in surrendering our sense of lack for the abundant love of the Shepherd who makes us lie down in green pastures. You are not forgotten. You are being formed. And your journey—your pilgrimage—is sacred, even if it looks different than you expected.

📖 Tonight’s Scripture

Psalm 84:10

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.”

🙏 Tonight's Prayer

Father,
When I feel the fear that rises from missing out, help me remember that You position me wherever I am, and that in You, I have all that I need. I am blessed to know You, and I am fulfilled, satisfied, and completed in You alone.

Remind me, Holy Spirit, that You will guide and lead me into all the places You would have me go.
Help me to stay sensitive to Your leading and obedient to Your call.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🌙 Three Things to Meditate Upon

  1. Psalm 23 Revisited
    “The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need.”
    Let that truth calm the noise of comparison. In Jesus, you lack nothing—even when it feels like you do.

  2. God Opens the Doors
    Are you waiting for a moment to step into your gifting? Be encouraged: God knows the perfect time. Your purpose and value are not lost in the waiting.

  3. FOMO is an Invitation, Not Condemnation
    Feeling left out isn’t sinful—it’s revealing. Let those emotions illuminate the places where your soul needs a realignment with the truth of God’s love and timing.
