Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotional. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA. THE WORD FOR TODAY WEDNESDAY JANUARY 7, 2026. "WHEN FATIGUE THREATENS YOU (2)" ‘Be still, and know that I am God.’ Psalms 46:10 NIV WHEN YOU'RE running on fumes, instead of berating yourself for failed attempts at ‘spirituality’, one writer says it’s time to ‘tie a tourniquet on the wound of busyness…[or] we’ll bleed a spiritual death. Doing more, and doing it faster, isn’t taking us to a place of peace. The distraction is nothing more than a momentary escape. Sooner or later we have to stop…Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” When we’re forced to be still the magnitude of the weight we carry becomes enormous, the loneliness unbearable. We think momentum keeps us from thinking…from feeling…from knowing sooner or later we have to stop.’ When you need to be spiritually restored, go to the throne, not the phone! No matter how good your friends are, they can’t meet your need like God can. Jesus said, ‘Come to Me…and I will give you rest’ (Matthew 11:28 NIV). Consider it His personal RSVP to talk to Him and tell Him how you feel, like a child talks to a loving parent who can help them. Designate a special place to be alone with God, and discipline yourself to go there often. And don’t just tell Him what you need; listen for what He’s trying to tell you. Don’t be in a hurry to get back into the rat race; stay in God’s presence until you understand that the burdens you’re carrying were never meant to be shouldered alone. The most important thing: we find time for what we consider important, so get your priorities straight and ‘seek first His kingdom’ (Matthew 6:33 NIV). When you ‘come near to God…He will come near to you’ (James 4:8 NIV). Bible In A Year: Isa 17-21, Luke 1:57-66, Ps 42:1-5, Pro 1:20-27.

Morning Prayer Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. ⏤ John 8:12 To pray well is the better half of study. ⏤ Martin Luther Our heavenly Father, as the light of this new day brightens the world, let the light of Your love fill our hearts and surround us. We can’t live without You! Show us Your grace and mercy today. We know we’re not worthy—not even worthy to gather the crumbs from under Your table—but You invite us to come close, not just to take crumbs, but to sit at Your table as honored guests, sharing in all the blessings of Your grace! So, we come to You now, asking to be filled with good things from Your hand. Let us drink deeply from the rivers of Your joy. We want to go through today with You watching over us and staying close by our side. Show us the way, because we can’t find it on our own and would never make it home without Your guidance. Fill our minds with good thoughts, because we can only think beautiful thoughts when they come from You, like stars lighting up our hearts! Every good thing in our lives comes from You. Just like every stream is born in the clouds, every good thing in life is born in Heaven, coming straight from Your heart! Send good and beautiful thoughts and feelings into our hearts, so that we can spread Your blessings to everyone we meet today. Father, prepare us now to make other lives better today. Let the fire of love burn in our hearts, and may others be inspired to love and find joy through us. Help us comfort those who are hurting. May we carry each other’s burdens. Let us always show the greatness of Your mercy, the tenderness of Your love, and the abundance of Your grace. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/03/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
