Daily Devotional: In your patience, possess your souls (Luke 21:19).

“In your patience, possess your souls” (Luke 21:19).

Impatience is a subtle thief. When it settles in, it steals from the soul the sense of control, tranquility, and even confidence. We become anxious because we cannot see tomorrow. We want quick answers, immediate solutions, visible signs that everything will work out. But God, in His wisdom, does not reveal the complete script of life to us. He invites us to trust. And there lies the challenge: how can we rest in peace when we do not know what is to come?

The answer is not in knowing the future, but in drawing closer to the Father. True peace does not arise from prediction, but from the presence of God within us. And this presence is not automatic—it manifests when we make a firm decision: to obey. When we choose to live according to God’s will, something extraordinary happens. He draws near to us. And instead of giving us a detailed map of everything that will happen, He gives us spiritual vision. We begin to see with the eyes of faith. We understand the present more clearly and perceive signs of what is to come, because the Spirit of the Lord guides us.

Obedience to the wonderful Law of God produces a stillness that the world does not understand. It is a natural calm, a deep rest. Not because everything is resolved, but because the soul knows it is right with the Creator. This peace cannot be manufactured or taught in books and sermons. It is the direct fruit of a life aligned with the eternal commandments of the Most High. Whoever obeys, rests. Whoever obeys, sees. Whoever obeys, lives. -Adapted from F. Fénelon. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, it is true that I often let impatience take over me. When answers are delayed, when tomorrow seems uncertain, I feel my heart tighten and my mind run without direction. I try to control what I cannot, and that robs me of the peace that only You can offer. Instead of resting in You, I keep searching for signs, explanations, and guarantees, as if knowing the future were what I needed most. But deep down, what my soul desires is something deeper: Your presence.

My Father, today I ask You to teach me to trust, even without understanding. I want to stop chasing after immediate solutions and learn to wait for You with a peaceful heart. Give me courage to joyfully obey Your magnificent commandments, even in silence, even when everything seems still. I want the spiritual vision that only comes when Your Spirit dwells in me. Draw near to me, Lord. Show me the value of a life in total submission to Your will. May my greatest security not be in quick answers, but in Your constant care for Your obedient children.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because Your presence is better than any detailed plan. You are my rest in the midst of waiting. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is like a calm river that runs through my heart, bringing order where there was once confusion. Your commandments are like lights shining in the darkness, showing the next step with clarity and kindness. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: If the Lord had not helped me, I would already be in the silence of…

“If the Lord had not helped me, I would already be in the silence of the grave” (Psalm 94:17).

There are moments in life when everything seems to fall apart at once: dreams fade, prayers seem unanswered, and the heart, crushed by circumstances, no longer knows where to turn. In these times, the mind becomes a battlefield. Negative thoughts, frustrations, unfulfilled desires, and feelings of helplessness take over. And the worst part is that, when we most need direction, we are tempted to make hasty decisions just to ease the pain. But acting on impulse rarely leads us to a solution—and almost always takes us further away from what God wants to do.

True strength, in these moments, is not found in doing something immediately, but in surrendering. To be still, to trust, and to give our desires to God requires more courage than many imagine. Silencing the soul amid chaos is a deep spiritual exercise. It is in this place of surrender that inner healing begins. The mind calms, the spirit is strengthened, and we begin to see with the eyes of faith. This humble posture opens the way for the Spirit of God to sustain us and guide us safely.

But there is no way to live this reality without obedience. The only true source of strength, peace, and direction is in faithfulness to the Law of God. His instructions do not change, do not fail, and do not depend on how we feel. When we decide to obey—even when it hurts, even when we do not understand—something supernatural happens: our fragile spirit is joined to the strength of the Creator. It is this union that lifts us up, that strengthens us, and that leads us step by step to eternal life. Obedience to the Law of the Lord is not a burden; it is the only safe path through any storm. -William Ellery Channing. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, it is true that I often find myself surrounded by inner struggles, insecurities, and difficult decisions. When dreams seem to collapse and Your answers seem delayed, my heart becomes confused and my mind fills with thoughts that do not come from You. In those times, I am tempted to act on impulse, trying to escape the pain in any way—but I end up moving away from Your will.

My Father, today I ask You to quiet my soul and help me to trust in You more than in my feelings. I want to learn to wait quietly, to depend on You with humility, and to hear Your voice in the midst of chaos. I know I cannot win this battle by my own strength. Therefore, I ask You for courage to obey even when I do not understand. Sustain me with Your Spirit, and guide me in Your eternal ways.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for being my firm rock when everything around me falls apart. You are faithful, even when I am weak; and Your Law, Lord, is the beacon that leads me back when I am lost amid the storms. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the compass that does not fail, even on the darkest nights. Your commandments are like rivers of life that refresh the weary soul and purify the afflicted heart. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Everything is possible for the one who believes (Mark 9:23)….

“Everything is possible for the one who believes” (Mark 9:23).

Remember: for those who have courage and are guided by truth, by mercy, and by the living voice of God’s creation, the word “impossible” simply does not exist. When everyone around you says “this can’t be done” and gives up, it is precisely at that moment that your opportunity is born. This is your call to step forward in faith. Do not rely on the limited opinions of others—trust in what God can accomplish through you if you are willing to obey.

When a man decides to follow the commandments of the Creator—those holy, wise, and eternal commandments—something extraordinary happens: God and the creature are united. The man, once weak and insecure, becomes strong and steadfast, for he is clothed with the Holy Spirit. And in this new state of communion, nothing can stop him on the path that God Himself has set. This strength does not come from human effort, but from faithful obedience to God’s will. It is obedience that releases the power of Heaven upon a person’s life.

And what does all this teach us? That the true secret of success, fulfillment, and victory lies in obedience to the powerful Law of God. This is where many fail: they want to receive blessings and achieve their goals without following the clear instructions the Creator has given. But that is impossible. The path to a blessed and victorious life has always been—and will always be—the path of obedience. Whoever walks with God walks in safety, with strength and with a purpose that nothing can frustrate. -Thomas Carlyle. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You for reminding me that, in You, the word “impossible” loses its meaning. You call me to trust not in human opinions, but in what You can accomplish through me if I am willing to obey. Thank You that, even when everyone else gives up, You give me the courage to step forward in faith, knowing that it is You who opens doors and strengthens those who follow You.

My Father, today I ask that You give me an obedient and steadfast heart, ready to follow Your commandments with faithfulness. Clothe me with Your Holy Spirit and transform my weakness into strength, my hesitation into confidence. May I walk with courage along the path You have set, knowing that true victory does not come from my own effort, but from my union with You through obedience. May every step I take be guided by Your holy and powerful Law.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because the secret of success and true fulfillment is to obey You with all my heart. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a safe road amid chaos, where each commandment is a lamp that lights the path to victory. Your commandments are like pillars of strength that sustain my journey, leading me firmly toward a life that nothing and no one can frustrate. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15)

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15).

The best way for a person to truly enjoy life — with depth, peace, and purpose — is to maintain a full, ready, and joyful acceptance of the divine will, which is perfect and unchanging in all things. This means recognizing that nothing can come from the source of all goodness, which is God, except that which is, in its essence, good. The soul that understands this learns to rest. It is not offended by the Lord’s ways, does not question His decisions, and does not resist His will, because it understands that everything is being conducted by an eternal rule of wisdom and love.

The truly good and humble person lives in harmony with the divine plan because they see, even in difficulties, the hand of a loving Father. They recognize that there is an infinite and omnipotent Love governing everything — a Love that withholds nothing out of selfishness or jealousy, but gives itself generously to creation. This Love guides, corrects, sustains, and transforms, always for the good of those who choose to trust. And what makes this real trust possible is the certainty that God has revealed to us the secure foundation of life: His powerful Law, given by the prophets and confirmed by Jesus.

This Law is the foundation of happiness. It is the clear, safe, and holy path by which we can live in tune with the divine will. When the soul stops resisting, ceases to bargain with its own desires, and humbly accepts to follow God’s Law completely — without exceptions — then everything that is good begins to flow naturally from the Creator’s heart to the heart of the faithful. Peace, joy, direction, and salvation no longer need to be sought as something distant. They come to dwell within the soul that has completely surrendered to the will of the Father. -Dr. John Smith. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You for teaching me that the true way to live with peace, depth, and purpose is to joyfully accept Your perfect will. Thank You for reminding me that the soul that trusts in Your guidance rests — does not question, does not resist, but surrenders, knowing that everything is being conducted by eternal wisdom and love.

My Father, today I ask You to shape my heart so that I may live in total harmony with Your divine plan. May I recognize Your hand even in difficulties and learn to see Your care where before I saw only obstacles. Teach me to fully trust in that infinite Love that keeps nothing for itself, but gives itself generously to guide, correct, sustain, and transform my life. May this trust grow in me each day, nourished by sincere obedience to Your amazing Law.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You have revealed to me the foundation of true happiness. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a living current that connects my heart to Yours, causing peace, joy, and salvation to flow into me. Your commandments are like sacred gateways that lead me to harmony with Your will, where all that is good ceases to be a distant promise and comes to dwell within me. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things…

“For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things” (Psalm 107:9).

God, in His infinite wisdom and goodness, uses even the most ordinary situations in life to expand our capacity to rejoice in His love—if we allow Him to do so. And here, “allow” does not mean that the Creator depends on the permission of His creatures, but that He honors the heart that desires to please Him, that recognizes who He is and understands that all blessings that truly matter can only be received when we choose to live according to His will. God acts with power, but also with respect for the decision of the soul that chooses or rejects obedience.

Think carefully about this: we all want to be blessed. We all desire peace, guidance, provision, joy. But not everyone is blessed—and it is not because God is partial, but because many are not willing to sacrifice their selfish desires. Many prefer to follow their own wills, even if that means living in disobedience to the mighty Law of God. And how could the Lord bless someone who consciously chooses to live in opposition to His perfect and holy will?

The truth is simple and direct: God has no incentive to pour out blessings on a rebellious heart. His promises are for the faithful, for those who truly love Him—and to love God is to obey His commandments. Why, then, resist? Why not submit humbly to the Creator and begin to live in full obedience to His wonderful commandments? In Him there is life, there is peace, there is abundance. The blessing is available—but only on the path of obedience. -Edward B. Pusey. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You because, in Your wisdom and goodness, You use even the simplest situations in life to teach me to rejoice in Your love. You do not depend on my permission to act, but You honor the heart that desires to please You, that recognizes You as Lord and understands that true blessings only come when we choose to live according to Your will. Thank You for being so patient with me and for showing me that each moment can be a step toward fullness, if I choose to obey.

My Father, today I ask You to remove from me every selfish desire that keeps me from Your will. Help me not to seek Your blessings while resisting Your commandments. Give me a humble spirit, ready to sacrifice my own will in order to live in full obedience to Your mighty Law. I know that You do not pour out Your blessing on rebellion, but on those who truly love You—and I want to be counted among them. Teach me to love You by obeying, even when it requires self-denial.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because in You there is life, peace, and abundance for all who follow You sincerely. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is like a firm path that leads to the place where promises are fulfilled. Your commandments are like keys that open the treasures of peace, guidance, and true joy. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?…

“Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” (Mark 4:40).

Look, brothers and sisters, let your spiritual life be shaped by what truly matters: faithfulness in obeying the Lord’s commandments and dedication to the duties that your present circumstances require of you. Do not let yourselves be consumed by anxiety about tomorrow. The same God who has sustained you until now, who has delivered you, taught you, and strengthened you, will continue to guide you with the same faithfulness to the end. He does not change, and His care never fails. Rest completely in this holy and loving trust in divine providence.

Many Christians live in constant restlessness because they have prioritized things and desires that have no weight in eternity. That is why their souls remain troubled and insecure. But spiritual life finds rest when it turns to what will never end: the will of God expressed in His mighty Law. There we find direction, steadfastness, and purpose. When we make obedience to the Lord our main focus, everything else falls into place.

Jesus Himself taught that if we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness [dikiosini], all other things will be given to us as well. It has always been this way, and it will always be this way. God honors those who honor Him. And when we make obedience our priority, we discover that nothing is lacking—neither peace, nor provision, nor direction. The soul becomes stable, and life gains meaning. This is the path of the faithful, the path of blessing, and the path that leads, in the end, to eternal life. -Francis de Sales. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You because You call me to focus on what truly matters: faithful obedience to Your commandments and dedication to the duties You have placed before me today. You are the One who has sustained me until now, who has taught me, delivered me, and strengthened me, and I know You will continue with me until the end. You do not change, and Your care never fails. Therefore, today I rest in Your holy providence, with loving trust in Your attentive care over every detail of my life.

My Father, today I ask You to help me set aside anxieties about fleeting things. Deliver me from the anxiety that comes from seeking status, possessions, or recognition, and turn my heart to what is eternal: love for the Father, for Jesus, and for Your mighty Law. Teach me to live each day with faithfulness, knowing that when I honor You with obedience, You Yourself arrange everything I need. May my spiritual life find rest in Your will and my soul be anchored in Your truth.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You never let anything be lacking for those who obey You wholeheartedly. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your incredible Law is like a solid foundation that supports my soul against the winds of doubt and instability. Your commandments are eternal signs that always point to Your Kingdom, leading me step by step to the life that never ends. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man…

“But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Matthew 13:23)

God does not need to transport us to a new setting or change all the circumstances around us to begin His work in us. He is fully capable of acting exactly where we are, with the conditions that surround us today. It is there, in the current soil of our lives, that He makes His sun shine and His dew fall. What once seemed like an obstacle can become exactly the instrument He will use to strengthen us, mature us, and transform us. No limitation, no frustration, no delay on our journey is able to thwart the Lord’s plans—as long as we are willing to obey.

Many believe that their past has taken them too far from God, that their previous failures have made spiritual growth impossible. But this is a lie from the enemy. As long as there is life, there is hope. It does not matter how dry the soul may be or how many imperfections we have accumulated—if we decide today to faithfully obey the powerful Law of God, transformation begins immediately. Obedience is the starting point of restoration. It is the practical and courageous decision to walk with God, even when everything around us seems confusing.

The truth is simple and powerful: blessings, deliverance, and salvation await those who choose to be faithful. The new spiritual identity does not come from emotions nor from empty words, but from a heart that decides to obey the Lord’s commandments. God is not far away. He is ready to act—and all He needs is a heart willing to live according to His will. Obey, and you will see life flourish where it once seemed impossible. -Hannah Whitall Smith. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You because You do not need to change the setting of my life to begin Your work in me. You are powerful to act right here, in the soil where I stand today, with all the limitations, frustrations, and challenges that surround me. Thank You because, even when everything seems stagnant or difficult, Your sun can still shine and Your dew can still fall upon my soul. You turn obstacles into instruments, and nothing can thwart Your plans when I choose to obey with faith.

My Father, today I ask You to break every lie that makes me believe that the past has taken me too far from You. I know that as long as there is life, there is hope—and that obedience to Your powerful Law is the beginning of everything. Give me courage to walk with You even when everything seems confusing. Purify my heart, restore my vision, and make life blossom in this dry soil, the life that only You can bring forth. May my transformation begin today, through the simple act of sincerely obeying You.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You offer restoration and new life to those who decide to follow You faithfully. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like the gentle rain that renews the weary soil and prepares the ground for the eternal harvest. Your commandments are like seeds of light that sprout even in the desert, bringing forth joy, peace, and a new identity in You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which…

“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever” (Psalm 125:1).

When God is present at the center of a kingdom or a city, He makes it unshakable, as firm as Mount Zion, which endures forever. In the same way, when the Lord dwells within a soul, even if it is surrounded by catastrophes, persecutions, or trials, there is within it a deep calm—a peace that the world can never offer nor take away. It is a stability that does not depend on external circumstances, but on the constant presence of God reigning on the throne of the heart.

The great problem is that many do not have this inner refuge. They allow the world to occupy the place that belongs only to God, and so they live insecure, vulnerable, and overcome by fear. When the world rules the heart, even the smallest threat becomes an earthquake. But when God rules, even the fiercest storms cannot shake the soul. The presence of the Lord within us does not happen by chance—it is activated by a conscious and practical act of obedience to His will as revealed in the Scriptures.

And this will has been clearly revealed: through the powerful Law that God gave us by His prophets and by Jesus in the Gospels. When a soul decides, with firmness, to ignore the voice of the enemy and resist the pressure of the world to obey the commandments of the Lord, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in it in a real and permanent way. But this will never happen to those who, even knowing the Law, choose to ignore it. The presence of God is for the obedient. They are the ones who experience true peace, inner strength, and the firmness that nothing can shake. -Robert Leighton. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You because when You dwell at the center of a soul, no storm can destroy it. It is You who make firm what the world tries to tear down. Even in the midst of persecutions, pain, and uncertainties, Your presence within me is an unshakable refuge, a deep peace that no one can steal. Thank You for being my Mount Zion—secure, eternal, and constant—when everything else around seems to collapse.

My Father, today I ask You to take Your place on the throne of my heart. I no longer want the world to rule my thoughts or emotions. Give me courage to ignore the voice of the enemy, to resist the pressures of this age, and to obey Your powerful Law with faithfulness. I know that it is in this conscious act of submission to Your will that Your Holy Spirit comes to dwell in me in a real and transforming way. Strengthen me so that I never choose to ignore what You have already revealed to me so clearly.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You offer a peace that the world can never give. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a wall around my soul, protecting me from the attacks of fear and uncertainty. Your commandments are like deep roots that sustain me when everything shakes, giving me firmness, direction, and rest in You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: The steps of a man are directed by the Lord; how then can a man…

“The steps of a man are directed by the Lord; how then can a man understand his own way?” (Proverbs 20:24).

Many times, we let ourselves be carried away by complaints about the routine of life, about the simplicity of our role in the world, or about the absence of great opportunities or recognition. We feel as if our efforts are being wasted, as if the years are passing by without purpose. When we adopt this attitude, we are, in practice, denying the careful presence of a loving Father who directs each of our steps. It is as if we are saying that God has forgotten us—as if we know better than He does what the ideal kind of life for us would be.

This kind of thinking is born in a heart that has not yet fully surrendered to obedience to the Creator’s instructions. As long as a human being rejects the powerful Law of God, he remains distant from his source of light, which inevitably results in spiritual blindness. And within this inner darkness, no matter how much effort we make—we will never clearly know where we are going. Without the light of obedience, life seems confusing, frustrating, and directionless. But there is a way out, and it begins with a decision: to obey.

When we sincerely turn to the Lord’s commandments, something glorious happens. Darkness gives way to light, confusion gives way to clarity. We begin to see with the eyes of faith and understand that God has never abandoned us. He is guiding us with wisdom, even on the simple and hidden paths. In this new vision, we find peace, tranquility, and the certainty that the best is reserved for those who remain faithful. And the final destination of this journey illuminated by obedience is glorious: eternal life in Christ Jesus, where everything will finally make sense. -Stopford A. Brooke. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You because, even when my vision is limited and my heart gets lost in silent complaints, You remain faithful, leading my steps with love. How many times have I questioned my routine, lamented the simplicity of my life, or desired recognition, forgetting that every detail is under Your control.

My Father, today I ask You to give me a surrendered heart, one that abandons all complaints and stands firm in obedience to Your holy instructions. May I no longer walk in the darkness of disobedience, but choose to follow the light of Your powerful Law. Open my eyes to clearly see what You are already doing, even when I do not perceive it. Give me peace to accept the simple paths and strength to remain faithful, knowing that You wisely guide even the most hidden steps.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because, as I obey, everything is illuminated and gains meaning. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a torch lit in the night, revealing the beauty of Your care even in the quietest valleys. Your commandments are like heavenly compasses that guide me with precision toward the promise of eternal life, where every effort will be rewarded and every doubt, at last, will be answered. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Let the wise reflect on this and consider the goodness of…

“Let the wise reflect on this and consider the goodness of the Lord” (Psalm 107:43).

What invisible principle could be at work, even in the most chaotic moments of nature, so that everything, in some way, results in beauty? The answer lies in the very essence of God: holiness. The beauty of holiness is the invisible thread that runs through all of creation. Our God is pure, good, and infinitely loving, and every work of His hands bears the mark of His perfect character. Even the most violent thunder, the roughest sea, or the darkest sky carries within itself a unique beauty — because everything comes from Him and is shaped by Him. The entire natural world, in its diversity and complexity, is a living canvas where the Creator’s hand has left visible traces of His glory.

This thought fills our hearts with reverence and comfort. Knowing that God’s holiness not only governs but also beautifies transforms our way of seeing the world. Nothing is out of control, nothing is truly random. Every detail, even in the most arid environments or the most intense situations, contributes to a great masterpiece: the revelation of divine beauty. And the most extraordinary thing is that we, human beings, were also created to reflect this same beauty as we align ourselves with the Creator.

When we choose to obey the powerful Law of God, a fusion occurs between Creator and creature. The love of God, His peace, and His holiness begin to dwell in us. This union brings a happiness so deep and solid that it goes beyond circumstances — it is the certainty that all is well and will continue to be well, now and for all eternity. The beauty we see in creation then begins to be revealed in us as well. -George MacDonald. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, even in the most chaotic scenes of creation, Your holiness remains the invisible principle that sustains and beautifies everything. The thunder that frightens, the sea that roars, the sky that darkens — all reveal something of You, for all comes from Your pure and perfect hands. Thank You for leaving visible traces of Your glory in every corner of nature, transforming what seems like disorder into an expression of deep and intentional beauty.

My Father, today I ask You to help me see the world with eyes shaped by Your holiness. May I perceive, even in difficult situations or in the most arid environments of my life, Your beautiful and sovereign work. And above all, may I remember that I was created to reflect this same beauty through sincere obedience to Your amazing Law. May each of my decisions be a reflection of Your character and each step an expression of Your presence in me.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because Your holiness not only governs the universe but also beautifies my soul when I surrender to Your will. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a divine brush that shapes my life with strokes of light, purity, and purpose. Your commandments are like heavenly paints that color my path with the beauty that can only come from You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
