Your Nightly Prayer for May 14, 2025
Written and led by Tracie Miles

SCRIPTURE OF THE NIGHT

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
— Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)

YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Dear Lord,
Please help me be aware of when I’m letting my mind linger in a room that is causing me angst instead of joy. Guide my thoughts into those rooms where blessings and abundance reside, and help me make a habit of choosing optimism in the present rather than regret over the past. In Jesus’ Name, 
Amen.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In tonight’s reflection, Tracie Miles shares a vulnerable and powerful story about life after divorce and learning to take control of her thought life. Through the imagery of mental "rooms," she explores how intentionally choosing joy can change the emotional atmosphere of our lives. Rooted in Proverbs 17:22, this devotional encourages us to let God guide our minds into spaces of blessing, not burden.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS

• You can choose which mental "rooms" to visit—some lead to grief, others to gratitude.

• Scripture reminds us that joy has healing power; negativity weighs down the spirit.

• Taking control of your thoughts requires intention, awareness, and reliance on God.

• Joy is a choice, and so is the refusal to dwell on what no longer serves your spiritual growth.

Your Nightly Prayer for May 13, 2025
Written and led by Kyle Norman

SCRIPTURE OF THE NIGHT

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
— Isaiah 43:18 (NIV)

In tonight’s devotional, Kyle Norman guides us through a powerful reflection on Isaiah 43:18, inviting us to let go of the sins, memories, or even past successes that no longer serve our spiritual growth. With a relatable metaphor from the kitchen to the exile of Israel, Kyle reveals how clinging to the past keeps us from perceiving God’s active, redeeming presence in our lives today. This episode is an invitation to repentance, renewal, and trust in the "new thing" God is doing—right now.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS

• Discover why rehearsing the past—both failures and triumphs—can prevent spiritual growth.

• Learn how repentance isn’t about shame, but about turning to embrace God’s current work.

• See Isaiah 43 in a fresh light: not as condemnation, but as a promise of renewal and hope.

• Reflect on how God’s redemption is not just personal, but communal—inviting your whole spiritual community to awaken to new life.

YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Gracious Lord Jesus,
I thank you for your work in my life. I thank you for every day I rise into your loving care, and you allow me to embrace the new things that you do in my life. Lord, help me forget the things that keep me from you. Open my heart to perceive the wonders of your presence, bless my eyes to see your work. And in those moments when I may be tempted to rehearse past sins, help me put aside the voices of guilt and shame, so that I might turn and embrace the new life you call me to. I pray all of this in your name, Jesus.
Amen.
