What do you do when the world is asleep, but your mind isn’t?
This episode was made for the quiet hours — for the restless, the overthinkers, the ones who feel everything a little louder in the dark. At 3 AM, the distractions fade, but the questions don’t. And in that stillness, God often speaks in a whisper.
Let this devotional walk with you through the silence, the longing, and the questions you might not have words for yet. You’re not alone in the night. And you’re not the only one awake.
“After the fire came a gentle whisper.” — 1 Kings 19:12
🕯️ A word for the night watchers. 🗓️ New episodes every Monday & Thursday 🎙️ From In the Closet Studio with Lizzie

We were all watching a baseball game one evening—snacks, commentary, the whole family dialed in—when my oldest, 10 years old at the time, suddenly said: “I’m not going for the Yankees.” I asked him why. His response? “Because I don’t know what a Yankee is… but I have red socks at home.”
It was one of those perfectly-timed, unintentionally profound moments only a kid can deliver. We laughed, of course—but I’ve carried it with me ever since.
Because sometimes, that’s how we live our faith too. We don’t know everything. We don’t understand all the rules. But we stand on what we do know—what feels like home, what’s already been given to us.
🧦 This episode is a lighthearted look at childhood logic and a heartfelt reminder that sometimes, red socks and a little faith are more than enough.
🗓️ New episodes drop Mondays at 6:00 AM (full devotionals) and Thursdays at 7:00 PM (mini devotionals). 🎧 Listen on all platforms – Spreaker, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and more.

Motherhood doesn’t always feel holy. It feels sticky. Loud. Exhausting. Like Cheerios in the carpet, crying in the bathroom, and folding the same basket of laundry for the third time.
But here’s the truth: even when it doesn’t feel sacred — it still is. God sees every unnoticed act of love, every whispered prayer, every moment you show up when you’re empty. This is holy work.
📖 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” — Colossians 3:23
This short devotional is for every mom who wonders if she’s doing enough. You are. Not because it’s perfect — but because it’s faithful.
💛 The invisible work you’re doing matters. It’s ministry. And it’s holy.

We like to think of ourselves as the ones needing rescue—but sometimes, if we’re honest, we’re the ones who caused the hurt. The ones who pushed away, gave up, or walked off course.
And still… God reaches for us.

This devotional reflects on the beauty of grace that meets us not just in our brokenness, but even in our rebellion. Because God’s love doesn’t flinch when we fall short—it moves toward us.
