Have you ever walked past a beautiful tree in spring, lush with green leaves, swaying in the breeze, and thought it looked perfect from a distance? But then, when you got close, you realized it was empty. No fruit. No nourishment. Just leaves.

The Word of God is clear: when believers walk by the Spirit, the evidence of that relationship is fruit.

Key Verse:"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." – Proverbs 18:21 (ESV)

Hey, sweet friends— Let’s take a moment to breathe. You’re here because you care about your walk with Jesus. You want to grow deeper, stand stronger, and live a life that truly reflects Him. I see you—and I want you to know, you’re not alone. I’m walking this journey too.

Sweet friend, have you ever faced something so big, so overwhelming, that you didn’t even know where to begin? One of those moments that leaves you whispering, “Lord, I don’t know how I’m going to get through this… but I’m choosing to trust You.” If that sounds familiar, you’re in good company. The Bible gives us precious examples of what to do in times just like this—and one of the most powerful is the story of King Jehoshaphat.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by life's challenges? Distant from your spiritual peace? In these difficult times, prayer can be a comforting refuge and a powerful source of strength. I ask you to reflect: Have you been neglecting time with the Lord? Could reconnecting with Him through prayer bring you the solace and guidance you need?
