Onwards and Upwards 🇱🇨

Kevin James revealed he once fasted for 40 days straight — all for his daughter. She was on the spectrum, struggling with tics and sleepless nights. Nothing else was working. So he turned to prayer and fasting. He planned to do it one tough day at a time, but it stretched into 40. On the very day he was about to quit from hunger, his daughter told him she’d finally slept well. The breakthrough came quietly, not dramatically. He kept going. The prayers, he said, were being answered. In a noisy world full of quick fixes, this is a powerful reminder that turning to God and embracing discipline can open doors we can’t force open on our own. There’s something deeply encouraging about stories like this — they show that God often works in the waiting, through our small acts of faithfulness. It’s a beautiful nudge to keep showing up in prayer, even when it feels hard or pointless at first. Have you ever seen prayer and perseverance bring a breakthrough that surprised you?

We stopped disciplining children & started diagnosing them. Now we have a nation with unaccountable adults. 🤷‍♂️ Tell me I’m wrong

Jesus Christ came to save us from the disease that we as humans cannot get out of.

🚨Woman says intimacy with God isn’t a mood booster 🙌🏾

Can you relate?

I saw someone say "God covered me in a season when I wasn't even talking to him" and bruhhhh.

Hey bro, have you read your bible today?

I just walked out of church after great service , and I can’t shake this feeling… we’re wasting way too much of the little time we’ve been given. Not because we’re lazy, but because we’re distracted by things that don’t matter. We stress over money, opinions, validation, social media… we hold onto resentment, bitterness, anger, things people said years ago, and none of it serves any purpose in God’s kingdom. None of it is coming with you when this life is over.

He offers great consideration for parents to have conversations with their teenagers. All things considered .

Stay flexible enough to receive. You have not met all the friends life has for you. You haven't touched or tasted all the abundance the world has for you.

a pastor said something that stuck with me. he said don’t assume your trials are punishment for past sins. God doesn’t hold grudges. that’s a human thing. keep good thoughts about God even in the hard seasons. he’s working something out for you

IF THIS APPEARED FOR YOU, IT IS MEANT FOR YOU!!... Proverbs 16:9 What is meant for you will never have to be forced. God's plans do not require pressure; they require trust. He is not asking you to strive; He is asking you to rest. Be still. God knows exactly what you are going through right now—every struggle, every tear, every moment of doubt. He sees it all. You do not have to explain anything to Him, for He understands better than anyone else. And even when you feel that no one else does, He is there, ready to uphold and carry you. He is not asking you to have all the answers; He is asking you to trust in Him. Trust that He is at work in the midst of your pain, that His plan for you is good, and that He is with you every step of the way. When you have no answers, He is the One who holds them all. Keep trusting. He sustains you. Very soon, you will look back and say: "God, this is more than I ever prayed for."😊 

This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying: They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development. Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.” We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans. This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different. Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?

Be so rooted in God’s plan that even disappointment feels like divine protection.

Abiding > Striving

You're not waiting on God. God is waiting on you. We say "I'm waiting on God" about things He already gave us clear instruction on. Forgive that person. Take that step. Let that thing go. Sometimes waiting is obedience. Sometimes it's avoidance.
