Daily Devotional: Lord, do not be distant! O my strength, come quickly…

“Lord, do not be distant! O my strength, come quickly to help me!” (Psalm 22:19).

Many people spend time and energy trying to overcome inner evil with human strategies: discipline, self-effort, good intentions. But the truth is that there is a simpler, more powerful, and guaranteed way: to obey God’s commandments with all the strength of the soul. When we choose this path, we are not just fighting against evil—we are connecting with the God who gives us victory over it. It is obedience that silences impure thoughts, eliminates doubt, and strengthens the heart against the attacks of the enemy.

The powerful Law of God is the antidote to all spiritual poison. It not only forbids evil—it strengthens us against it. Each commandment is a shield, a protection, an expression of God’s love for us. And when we dedicate ourselves to sincerely obeying Him, God Himself becomes personally involved in our lives. He ceases to be just a distant idea and becomes a present Father, who guides, corrects, heals, strengthens, and acts with power on our behalf.

This is the turning point: when the heart surrenders fully to obedience, everything changes. The Father draws near, the Holy Spirit works in us, and in a short time, we are led to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. It is not complicated. We just need to stop fighting with our own weapons and surrender to the will of God expressed in His holy and eternal commandments. Victory begins there. -Adapted from Arthur Penrhyn Stanley. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Loving Father, I recognize that many times I have tried to overcome the evil within me by my own strength, and I have failed. But now I understand: true power is in obeying Your Word. I want to cling to Your will, reject everything that separates me from You, and live according to Your holy commandments.

Lord, strengthen my heart to walk faithfully in Your powerful Law. May I find in it protection, direction, and healing. I know that as I sincerely obey You, You draw near to me, act in my story, and lead me to true freedom. I want to live under Your care, guided by Your truth.

Oh Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because You have not left us defenseless against evil. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a sharp sword that separates light from darkness, protecting the soul from all evil. Your commandments are like walls of holiness, firm and unbreakable, guarding those who obey You with faithfulness. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His…

“The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry” (Psalm 34:15).

Reaching the point of total surrender is a powerful spiritual milestone. When you finally decide that nothing—not opinions, nor criticism, nor persecution—will stop you from obeying all of God’s commandments, then you are ready to live at a new level of intimacy with the Lord. From this place of surrender, you can pray with confidence, ask boldly, and wait with faith, for you are living within God’s will. And when we pray in obedience, the answer is already on its way.

This kind of relationship with God, in which prayers bear real fruit, is only possible when the soul stops resisting. Many want the blessing, but without surrender. They want the harvest, but without the seed of obedience. But the truth remains: it is when a person strives with all their heart to obey God’s mighty Law that heaven moves swiftly. God does not ignore a heart that bows in sincerity—He responds with deliverance, peace, provision, and guidance.

And the most beautiful part of all? When this obedience is genuine, the Father leads that soul directly to the Son. Jesus is the final destination of sincere faithfulness. Obedience opens doors, changes environments, and transforms the heart. It brings happiness, stability, and above all, salvation. The time for resisting is over. The time to obey and reap eternal rewards has come. Just decide—and God will do the rest. -Adapted from Lettie B. Cowman. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Holy Father, I thank You for showing me that total surrender is not loss, but the true beginning of abundant life. Today I acknowledge that nothing in this world is worth more than obeying You with all my heart. I no longer want to resist Your will. I want to be faithful, even if the world rises against me.

Lord, teach me to trust as someone who has already received. Give me a living faith, that prays and acts based on Your promise. I choose to obey Your mighty Law, not out of obligation, but because I love You. I know that this obedience draws me closer to Your heart and opens the heavens over my life. May I live each day under Your guidance, ready to say “yes” to everything You command.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for being faithful to those who truly obey You. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is like a river of life that flows straight from Your throne, watering the hearts that seek You sincerely. Your commandments are like eternal lights that guide the soul along the path of truth, freedom, and salvation. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Everyone who practices sin also transgresses…

“Everyone who practices sin also transgresses the law, for sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4).

Sin is not an accident. Sin is a decision. It is the conscious transgression of what we know God has already made clear. The Word is firm: sin is the violation of God’s Law. It is not a lack of information—it is a deliberate choice. We see the fence, read the warnings, feel the touch of conscience… and yet, we still choose to jump. In our days, many try to soften this. They create new names, psychological explanations, modern speeches to make sin “less sinful.” But the truth remains the same: no matter the name—the poison still kills.

The good news—and it truly is good—is that there is always hope while there is life. The path of obedience is open. Anyone can decide today to stop transgressing the powerful Law of God and begin to obey it sincerely. This decision does not depend on a diploma, a clean past, or perfection. It depends only on a broken and willing heart. And when God sees this true desire, when He searches and finds sincerity, He responds by sending the Holy Spirit to strengthen, guide, and renew that soul.

From that point on, everything changes. Not just because the person strives, but because heaven moves in their favor. With the Spirit comes the power to overcome sin, the steadfastness to remain standing, blessings, deliverances, and above all, salvation in Christ Jesus. The change begins with a decision—and that decision is within your reach now: to obey the holy and eternal Law of God with all your heart. -Adapted from John Jowett. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I acknowledge that many times I have seen the signs and still chose the wrong path. I know that sin is the transgression of Your Law, and that no excuse or softer name changes this truth. Today I no longer want to deceive myself. I want to face my sin seriously and turn to You with true repentance.

Father, I ask You: search my heart. See if there is in me a genuine desire to obey You—and strengthen that desire. I want to abandon all transgression and live in obedience to Your powerful Law, following Your holy commandments faithfully. Send Your Holy Spirit to guide me, to give me strength, and to keep me firm on the path of holiness.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because even in the face of my guilt, You offer me redemption. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a wall of protection around those who obey You, guarding their steps from error and destruction. Your commandments are like rivers of purity that wash the soul and lead to the throne of glory. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: They wandered in the desert, lost and homeless. Hungry…

“They wandered in the desert, lost and homeless. Hungry and thirsty, they nearly died. In their distress, they cried out to the Lord, and he rescued them from their suffering” (Psalm 107:4-6).

Following God faithfully often means choosing the lonely path. And yes, that path can feel like a desert—dry, difficult, without applause. But it is exactly there that we learn the deepest lessons about who God is and about who we truly are in Him. Seeking human approval is like slowly drinking poison. It drains the soul, because it forces us to live to please unstable and limited people, instead of glorifying the eternal and unchanging God. The true man or woman of God must be willing to walk alone, knowing that the Lord’s company is worth more than the acceptance of the whole world.

When we decide to walk with God, we will hear His voice—firm, constant, and unmistakable. It will not be the sound of the crowd, nor the echo of human opinions, but the sweet and powerful call of the Lord to trust and obey. And this call always leads us to the same point: obedience to His mighty Law. For in it is the path of life. God gave us His Law not as a burden, but as a faithful map that leads to blessing, protection, and above all, salvation in Christ. To follow it is to walk a safe path, even if it is a lonely one.

Therefore, if you must walk alone, walk. If it is necessary to lose the approval of others to please God, so be it. For obeying the magnificent commandments of the Father is what brings lasting peace, deliverance from the snares of the world, and true fellowship with heaven. And whoever walks with God, even in silence and solitude, is never truly alone. -Adapted from A. B. Simpson. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Beloved Father, I thank You for Your constant presence, even in moments when everything feels like a desert. I know that walking with You often requires giving up being understood, admired, or accepted by others. But I also know that nothing compares to the peace of being by Your side. Teach me to value Your voice more than any other.

Lord, deliver me from the desire to please men. I want to walk with You even when that means walking alone. I want to hear Your voice, obey Your call, and live according to Your mighty Law, trusting that it is the right path—the path that leads to blessing, deliverance, and salvation. May my steps be firm, even if lonely, as long as they are grounded in Your truth.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You for being faithful to those who walk with You in holiness. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is like a luminous trail in the midst of darkness, guiding faithful hearts to Your throne. Your commandments are like eternal anchors, securing the steps of those who obey You, even when the whole world turns away. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Lord, you search me and you know me. You know when I…

“Lord, you search me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar” (Psalm 139:1-2).

There is no place where we can hide our sins. No mask is effective before the eyes of the One who sees everything. We may deceive people, appear pious, seem upright on the outside — but God knows the heart. He sees what is hidden, what no one else sees. And this should fill us with awe. Because nothing escapes His gaze. But at the same time, there is something deeply comforting in this: the same God who sees the hidden sin also sees the smallest desire to do what is right. He notices that fragile longing for holiness, that timid will to draw near to Him.

It is through this sincere desire, even though still imperfect, that God begins something great. When we hear His call and respond with obedience, something supernatural happens. The powerful Law of God, so rejected by many, begins to work within us with strength and transformation. This Law has a divine energy — it not only demands, it strengthens, consoles, encourages. Obedience does not lead us to burden, it leads us to freedom. The soul that decides to live according to the magnificent commandments of God finds peace, finds purpose, finds God Himself.

Therefore, the question is simple and direct: why delay? Why keep trying to hide, trying to control life your own way? God already sees everything — both the failures and the desire to get it right. So, if He already knows you completely, why not surrender once and for all? Start obeying today. Don’t wait any longer. The peace and happiness you so desperately seek are found in the place you may have avoided: in obedience to the powerful and eternal Law of God. –Adapted from John Jowett. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Beloved Father, before Your holiness I acknowledge: there is nowhere to hide. You know every corner of my being, every thought, every intention. This fills me with awe, but also with hope, because I know that You see not only my sins, but also my desire to please You, even when that desire seems small and fragile.

Lord, I ask You: strengthen this desire within me. May it grow and overcome all resistance. May I not only hear Your call to obedience, but may I respond with real actions, with true surrender. Help me to live according to Your powerful Law, to walk firmly in the direction of Your magnificent commandments, because I know that is where peace, joy, and the true meaning of life are found.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore You and praise You for looking with mercy upon the weakest desire for holiness. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a heavenly wind that sweeps away all lies and establishes truth in the hearts of those who obey You. Your commandments are like eternal pillars, sustaining the soul amid the storms and guiding it with steady light to Your heart. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Daniel, as soon as you began to pray, an answer was given…

“Daniel, as soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to deliver to you because you are greatly beloved” (Daniel 9:23).

There is a deep peace in knowing that God hears and answers every prayer from an obedient heart. We do not need to shout, repeat words, or try to convince heaven—it’s enough to be aligned with His will. And what is that will? That we obey what has already been revealed through His prophets and by Jesus. When we pray in the name of Christ, with faith and submission to the powerful Law of God, something powerful happens: the answer is released even before we finish the prayer. It is already complete in heaven, even if it is still on its way to Earth.

But unfortunately, many people live in a constant cycle of pain, frustration, and spiritual silence because they pray while remaining in disobedience. They want God’s help without submitting to what He has already commanded. That does not work. Rejecting the incredible commandments of God is the same as rejecting His will, and there is no way to expect positive answers from Him while we live in rebellion. God cannot bless a path that goes against what He Himself has declared to be holy and eternal.

If you want to see your prayers answered with clarity and power, then the first step is to align yourself with God through obedience. Start with what He has already shown you—the commandments revealed by His holy Law. Do not complicate it. Just obey. And when your life is in harmony with the Father’s will, you will see: the answers will come with peace, with strength, and with the certainty that heaven has already moved on your behalf. -Adapted from Lettie B. Cowman. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Holy Father, what a joy to know that You hear Your faithful children even before the words finish leaving their lips. I thank You because Your faithfulness never fails and because You keep Your promises to those who align themselves with Your will. Teach me to live in a way that pleases You, and may every prayer of mine be born from a surrendered and obedient heart.

Lord, I no longer want to live inconsistently, expecting Your blessings while ignoring Your incredible commandments. Forgive me for the times I asked for something without first submitting to Your powerful Law, revealed by the prophets and by Your beloved Son. Today I choose to live in holiness, according to all that has already been revealed to me, because I know that this is the path that pleases You and opens the doors of heaven over my life.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore You and praise You for answering with love and faithfulness those who obey You. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a river of justice that flows straight from Your throne, bringing life to those who walk in righteousness. Your commandments are like sacred notes of a heavenly song, tuning the soul to the sound of Your perfect will. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: We trust in God, who raises the dead (2 Corinthians 1:9)

“We trust in God, who raises the dead” (2 Corinthians 1:9).

Difficult situations have a special power: they awaken us. The pressure of trials strips away the excess, cuts out what is unnecessary, and helps us see life more clearly. Suddenly, what seemed guaranteed reveals itself to be fragile, and we begin to value what truly matters. Each trial becomes a chance to start over, an opportunity to draw closer to God and live with greater purpose. It is as if He is telling us: “Wake up! Time is short. I have something better for you.”

Nothing we face is by chance. God allows us to go through struggles not to destroy us, but to refine us and remind us that this life is only a passage. But He has not left us without direction. Through His prophets and His Son, Jesus, He has given us His powerful Law—a perfect manual on how to live in this fleeting world so that we may live eternally with Him. The problem is that many choose to follow the pressure of the world, but those who decide to obey the Father’s amazing commandments experience something extraordinary: the real closeness of God Himself.

When we choose to live in obedience, God moves toward us. He sees our firm decision, our true surrender, and responds with blessings, guidance, and peace. He sends us to the Son—the only one who can forgive and save. This is the plan: obedience that leads to presence, presence that leads to salvation. And it all begins when, even in the midst of pain, we choose to say: “Father, I will follow Your Law. No matter the cost.” -Adapted from A. B. Simpson. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for the trials that awaken me to what truly matters. Each difficulty has helped me see life more clearly and seek Your presence more deeply. I do not want to waste my pain with complaints, but use it as steps toward spiritual maturity.

Father, I know that life here is short, and so I decide to live according to Your eternal instructions, given by Your prophets and by Jesus, Your beloved Son. I want to walk according to Your powerful Law, even if it goes against the opinion of the world. Give me courage to obey Your amazing commandments with faithfulness, even when it is hard, because I know that is what attracts Your favor and Your presence.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore You and praise You because You are faithful at all times, and good to those who obey You. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a torch that never goes out in the dark night, showing the safe path to those who desire eternal life. Your commandments are like incorruptible jewels, full of glory and power, adorning the soul of those who truly love You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord…

“And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord” (Numbers 11:1).

There is a profound beauty in a heart that surrenders to God with joy and gratitude, even in the midst of afflictions. When we choose to endure with faith everything the Lord allows, we become participants in something much greater than ourselves. Spiritual maturity is not about avoiding suffering, but about knowing how to face it with humility, trusting that there is purpose in every trial. And the man who, with all the strength God gives him, commits himself to faithfully fulfilling the holy will of the Lord, lives honorably before heaven.

It is common for us to seek comfort by telling everyone around us about our pains. But wisdom lies in bringing everything only to the Lord — with humility, without demands, without rebellion. And even in our prayers, we must adjust our focus. Instead of crying out only for relief, we should ask God to teach us to obey, to strengthen us to follow His mighty Law with faithfulness. This request, if sincere, changes everything. Because obedience to the magnificent commandments of God not only solves the problem — it heals the root, restores the soul, and establishes a peace that the world cannot give.

He who decides to live this way finds something glorious: friendship with God. Just as it happened with Abraham, the one who obeys, the one who surrenders completely to the will of the Most High, is received as a friend. There is no greater title, no more sublime reward. The peace that is born from this friendship does not depend on circumstances. It is firm, lasting, eternal — a direct fruit of a life shaped by obedience to the holy, perfect, and eternal Law of God. -Adapted from John Tauler. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Eternal Father, I thank You for the opportunity to surrender my life entirely to You, even in the midst of afflictions. I do not want to run away from what You have appointed for me, but rather to endure with joy and gratitude, trusting that all things work together for the good of those who love and obey You. Give me, Lord, the strength that comes from above to fulfill Your will in every detail of my life.

Lord, today I decide to stop focusing only on my difficulties. I want, in my prayers, to seek something greater: understanding, wisdom, and strength to obey Your mighty Law with integrity and reverence. May my mouth be silent before men, and may my heart open before You with humility and faith. Teach me to walk according to Your magnificent commandments, for I know that this is the only path to true peace.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You for being faithful to those who seek You sincerely. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is like a divine seal upon those who love You, granting them rest even in the midst of storms. Your commandments are like golden keys that open the doors of friendship with You and of the peace that surpasses all understanding. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will do it all…”

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will do it all.” (Psalm 37:5).

Surrendering to God’s will is not just patiently waiting for something to happen—it is much more than that. It is looking at everything He allows with a heart full of wonder and gratitude. It is not enough to simply endure difficult days; we need to learn to recognize the hand of the Lord in every detail, even when He leads us down unexpected paths. True surrender is not silent and resigned, but full of trust and gratitude, because we know that everything that comes from God first passes through His wisdom and His love.

But there is something even deeper in this surrender: to accept with faith and humility the holy instructions that God Himself has given us—His magnificent commandments. The central point of our surrender is to accept not only the events of life, but to accept living according to the powerful Law of God. When we recognize that this Law is perfect and was given with love by the prophets and confirmed by Jesus Himself, we are left with no other attitude but reverent obedience. It is at this point that the soul finds true rest—when it decides to obey in everything, and no longer just in part.

God is long-suffering, full of patience, and kindly waits for the moment when we surrender ourselves completely. But He also has a treasure reserved of blessings for the day when we let go of pride and humble ourselves before His holy Law. When that day comes, He draws near, pours out grace, renews the soul, and sends us to His Son for forgiveness and salvation. Obedience is the secret. And true obedience begins when we stop arguing with God and start saying: “Yes, Lord, everything You have commanded is good, and I will follow.” -Adapted from William Law. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Wonderful Father, how liberating it is to know that everything You allow has a purpose. I do not want to merely endure the difficulties of life; I want to receive them with gratitude, knowing that Your loving hand is behind it all. Teach me to trust, to rejoice, and to worship You even on cloudy days, for I know that You are good and faithful at all times.

Lord, I repent for so many times I have resisted Your holy instructions for life. I tried to adapt Your will to mine, but now I understand: the path of blessing is to accept, with joy and reverence, each one of Your magnificent commandments. I want to obey wholeheartedly, with humility and with pleasure, for I know that this is the only way to truly live in peace with You.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore You and praise You for guiding all things with wisdom and patience. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a song of justice that echoes in the soul of those who obey You and leads them to true freedom. Your commandments are like heavenly diamonds, pure and unbreakable, that beautify the lives of the faithful. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: say to those with fearful hearts: Be strong, do not…

“say to those with fearful hearts: Be strong, do not fear! Your God will come” (Isaiah 35:4).

How many times do we carry crosses that God Himself never gave us? Anxiety about the future, fear of what may happen, the restlessness that steals our sleep—none of this comes from God. When we try to anticipate events and control what is to come, we are saying, even if not in words, that we do not fully trust in the Lord’s providence. It is as if we were saying: “God, let me take care of this.” But the future does not belong to us. And even if it arrives, it may be completely different from what we imagined. Our attempt at control is useless, and often, the root of this anxiety lies in a lack of true surrender.

But there is a path of rest—and it is accessible. This path is obedience to the powerful Law of God. When we decide to use all our strength to please the Lord, obeying His wonderful commandments from the heart, something changes within us. The presence of God manifests itself with power, and with it comes a peace that cannot be explained. A peace that does not depend on circumstances, a calm that dissolves worries as the sun dissipates the morning mist. This is the reward for those who live faithfully before the Creator.

The soul that chooses to obey no longer needs to live in tension. It knows that the God it serves is in control of all things. Obeying the holy and eternal Law of God not only pleases the Lord, but also places us within the flow of His peace and care. It is a blessed cycle: obedience brings presence, and the presence of God drives out fear. Why continue carrying the weight of tomorrow, if today you can rest in the faithfulness of the God who honors those who obey Him? -Adapted from F. Fénelon. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Father of mercy, how many times have I tried to control what belongs only to You? Forgive me for the sleepless nights, for decisions based on fear, for the restless thoughts that stole the peace You desire to give me. Today I choose to let go of this burden. I no longer want to live trying to predict or control the future. I want to rest in Your care.

Lord, I now understand that anxiety has its root in disobedience. When I turn away from Your wonderful commandments, I disconnect from Your presence, and with that I lose peace. But I choose to return. I want to live in a way that pleases You, obeying Your powerful Law with all my heart. May my soul be anchored in Your Word, firm, calm, and protected.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because in You there is no shadow of turning nor instability. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a shield of light that surrounds the obedient, driving away fear and establishing peace. Your commandments are like golden cords that bind us to Your heart, leading us to true freedom and rest. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
