Daily Devotional: A person will always reap what they sow (Galatians 6:7)

“A person will always reap what they sow” (Galatians 6:7).

The attitudes, desires, and inclinations of our soul that will one day be perfected in heaven do not suddenly appear as something new and unknown. They must be developed, nurtured, and practiced throughout our entire life here on Earth. It is essential that we understand this truth: the perfection of the saints in eternity does not mean a magical transformation into another being, but rather the completion of a process that has already begun here, when the soul chose to surrender to God and obey His holy and wonderful Law.

The starting point of this transformation is obedience. When a soul, once disobedient, humbles itself before the Creator and decides to live according to His commandments, God begins to work in a deep and continuous way. He draws near, teaches, strengthens, and leads that soul on a path of growing communion and holiness. Obedience becomes the fertile soil where the Spirit of God acts freely, shaping character and refining affections according to His will.

Thus, when we finally arrive in heaven, we will not be starting something new, but merely continuing a journey that began here—a journey that started the moment we decided to obey the powerful, tender, and eternal Law of God. The perfect holiness of heaven will then be the glorious unfolding of the faithfulness lived on Earth. That is why there is no time to lose: every step of obedience today is a step closer to eternal glory tomorrow. -Adapted from Henry Edward Manning. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You because You reveal to me that the perfection that awaits me in heaven will not be something strange or distant, but the continuation of a life of surrender that begins now, at this very moment. You do not expect me to become another being at the end of the journey, but that I allow Your Spirit to transform me, step by step, as I choose to obey Your holy and wonderful Law. Thank You because every faithful attitude here on Earth is part of the process that prepares my soul for eternal glory.

My Father, today I ask You to plant in me the constant desire to obey You. May I not postpone this choice, nor despise the value of small acts of faithfulness. Help me to understand that it is in obedience that Your Spirit acts freely, shaping my character and refining my affections according to Your will. Strengthen me so that, even in the midst of struggles, I may remain firm on the path of Your Law, for I know that it is in this soil that true transformation happens.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You are preparing me from now for that which is eternal. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a road of light that guides me with tenderness and firmness toward perfect holiness. Your commandments are like divine seeds planted in the heart, which blossom here and are completed in eternity. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God…

“In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

God has a plan for your life—there is no doubt about that. But it is important to remember: the plan is His, not yours. And as long as you try to shape that plan to your own desires, you will live in constant conflict with the will of the Creator. That is why so many Christians live frustrated: they pray, fast, make plans, but nothing flows. Because, deep down, they still want God to bless the decisions they made without consulting Him. Peace only comes when we stop resisting and accept God’s plan exactly as He designed it.

Perhaps you say: “But I would accept God’s plan if only I knew what it was!” And here is the point that many ignore: God has no interest in revealing details of His plan to those who show no interest in obeying. The will of God is not an inaccessible mystery—the problem is that few are willing to fulfill what has already been revealed. Before seeking direction, mission, or purpose, it is necessary to obey what is already clear. And what is clear? The powerful, wise, and eternal Law of God, recorded in the Old Testament and reaffirmed by Jesus in the four Gospels.

Obedience always comes before revelation. Only when we surrender to the will of the Father and commit to His commandments does He begin to show the next step. And with revelation also come the mission, the blessings, and, finally, salvation in Christ. There are no shortcuts. The Father does not guide rebels. He guides the obedient. Do you want to know God’s plan for your life? Start today by obeying everything He has already commanded. The rest will be added at the right time—with clarity, with direction, and with the living presence of His Spirit. -Adapted from J. R. Miller. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear God, it is true that I often get frustrated when I do not understand what You are doing in my life. I try to seek You, but I still want things to happen in my time and in my way. When plans do not work out, I am tempted to think that You are distant, when, in fact, it is I who insist on following paths that do not have Your approval. You have already made it clear, through Your commandments, how I should live, but many times I ignore what is revealed and wait for new answers, when what I need is to obey what I already know.

My Father, today I ask You to remove from me all desire to control the future and to plant in me an obedient heart. I no longer want to keep seeking revelations while neglecting the foundation of faith, which is obedience to what You have already commanded. Teach me to value what is written, to love Your ways, and to practice, without delay, the teachings I have already received. I know that You do not guide rebels, but those who honor You with faithfulness. Give me discernment, Lord, so that my life may be shaped by Your truth.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You never fail to show the right way to those who seek You sincerely. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the firm road that leads to life, even when everything around seems uncertain. Your commandments are like living torches that shine in the midst of darkness, revealing Your character and giving direction to my soul. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

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.
