How should Christians handle enemies who seem bent on destruction? Dr. John tackles this challenging question through Psalm 35, where David prays for God to strike down his adversaries. Dr. John distinguishes between personal disputes requiring forgiveness and situations involving genuine wickedness, offering a nuanced approach to praying for justice while longing for God's vindication of the righteous.

Dr. John’s series on Psalms 33–41 called “Reasons for Worship” explores God’s faithfulness amid life’s challenges. From David’s escapes to his reflections on the wicked, these psalms offer practical wisdom for trusting God, finding hope in desperate circumstances, and keeping faith when evil seems to prevail. This series brings both comfort and challenge, pointing to the God who is completely trustworthy in every season.

The words, “I love you” make an incredible impact, especially when they’re authentic. There’s nothing shallow about authentic love. Real love has staying power. It always opts for working through. It’s resilient.

In this devotional, Hannah Benson reminds us of a timeless truth: God sees you. Even when prayers seem unanswered, and our hearts feel weary, the Lord’s eyes are always on us. Through personal testimony and Scripture, Hannah shares how God gently reminded her of His presence in a moment of deep discouragement. Just as He revealed Himself to Hagar in the wilderness and heard Hannah’s cries in the temple, God is attentive to your life, your struggles, and your desires.

Highlights

• God Sees You: Encouragement from Genesis 16:13 and the story of Hagar’s encounter with “El Roi.”

• When Prayers Feel Unanswered: Why God’s timing and responses—whether yes, no, or not yet—can still be trusted.

• Hannah’s Story: Biblical assurance that God hears and knows the desires of your heart.

• The Power of Obedience: How a simple note from a friend became a divine reminder of God’s care.

• Practical Encouragement: Be willing to follow the Spirit’s prompting—your act of obedience could be someone else’s answered prayer.
