Day 3 — July 2, 2025
THE STORM STILL OBEYS HIM
Today’s Scripture:
Psalm 89:9 (NLT) –
“You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, You still them.”
Key Point:
No storm you’ve walked through—or are in right now—is stronger than the voice of Jesus.
Storms don’t just shake your world.
They answer to His authority.
Devotional Thought:
Some of us know storms by name.
Addiction. Domestic violence. Sexual abuse. Relapse. Rejection. Grief. Depression. Shame.
Some of us were born into storms.
And we’ve been fighting to survive ever since.
We’ve learned how to fake smiles while silently drowning.
We’ve learned how to stay busy so we don’t have to face the storm still raging inside.
We’ve cried out, “Jesus, when will it stop?!”
But sis, here’s the truth that today’s scripture is screaming into your storm:
It still obeys Him.
That addiction that held you hostage?
That anxiety that won’t let you sleep?
That past trauma that replays in your mind like a broken record?
It all still obeys the voice of Jesus.
He doesn’t just calm the storm.
He commands it.
He doesn’t just ride the waves with you — He rules over them.
You don’t serve a distant Savior.
You serve the King of the sea — and when He speaks, every storm must sit down.
To Every Woman of Encouraging Her Resilience:
Maybe you’re in the middle of a storm right now.
One no one sees. One you can’t even explain.
Maybe it’s in your mind. Your heart. Your house. Your relationships.
Maybe it feels like it’s too late.
But hear me:
It’s not too late when Jesus steps in.
And He has authority over every storm that ever tried to take you out.
You don’t have to fight for control.
You just have to trust the One who already has it.
Speak This Out Loud Today:
“The storm obeys Jesus. I refuse to fear what He already rules.”
Say it like your freedom depends on it—because it does.
Challenge for Today:
Write down every area in your life that feels out of control —
Your emotions, your finances, your healing, your home, your faith walk.
Then, over each one, write these words in bold:
“This still obeys Jesus.”
Then take it to prayer and surrender it back to the One who commands peace.
Prayer for Today:
Jesus, I’ve been battling storms that I was never meant to carry alone.
Today, I surrender every wave, every fear, every part of me that feels overwhelmed.
You are not just my Savior — You are the One who commands the sea.
You speak, and the storm has no choice but to be still.
Speak peace over my chaos.
Speak calm over my confusion.
Speak light into my darkness.
I trust You to silence the storm in me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Day 2 — July 1, 2025
PEACE IS A PERSON
Scripture of the Day:
Ephesians 2:14 (NLT) –
“For He Himself is our peace…”
Read that again.
HE. HIMSELF. IS. OUR. PEACE.
Not a vibe. Not a temporary escape.
Not something you find in a quiet room or a perfect moment.
PEACE has a name. His name is JESUS.
Key Point:
Peace isn’t a feeling you wait for — it’s a Savior you run to.
You don’t need everything around you to be calm when the One inside you carries peace in His voice.
Your situation doesn’t need to change for you to have peace.
Your circumstances don’t have to cooperate.
Because peace isn’t something you create — it’s someone you connect to.
Devotional Thought:
Let’s get honest.
You’ve said it before:
“I just need peace.”
But deep down, what you were really saying was:
“I need this pain to stop.”
“I need this fear to go away.”
“I need something or someone to fix this mess.”
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need a solution — you need a Savior.
You don’t need everything to change — you need to rest in the One who doesn’t.
Peace doesn’t come when the storm ends.
Peace comes when JESUS walks in.
You can have a thousand things falling apart around you — and still have peace when Jesus is present.
You can be in the courtroom, the hospital room, or the trauma of your past… and still feel peace that makes no sense — because it’s not from this world.
It’s not about control.
It’s about connection.
To Every Resilient Woman Reading This:
You’ve tried to find peace in people who left.
In pills that wore off.
In silence that didn’t last.
In relationships that broke you.
But peace was never a place. It was never a person on this earth.
Peace has always been Jesus.
He doesn’t just give peace.
He IS peace.
And the moment you make room for Him —
in your heart, in your mind, in your morning, in your pain —
everything changes.
The storm may not stop.
But you’ll be unshaken.
Today’s Spoken Affirmation:
“Jesus, You ARE my peace. Not my feelings. Not my circumstances. You alone.”
Say it like your soul is listening.
Say it until the chaos inside gets quiet.
Say it until your anxiety can’t speak louder than your faith.
Today’s Challenge:
‘’When anxiety rises today — and it will try —
PAUSE.
Put your hand on your chest and say aloud:
“Jesus, You are my peace.”
Then breathe.
Again.
And again.
Until His presence is greater than your pressure.
Daily Prayer (Let This Be Your Reset):
Jesus, I’ve been chasing peace through people, through progress, through performance… but none of it works.
Today, I come to You. I sit with You. I invite You into every storm, every fear, every place I pretend to be okay.
Be my peace — not just in theory, but in reality.
Settle my spirit. Still my thoughts.
And help me to stop looking for peace, and start looking to You.
Because You don’t just carry peace — You ARE peace.
And in You, I am safe.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Day 1 — June 30, 2025
JESUS IS IN THE BOAT
Foundation Scripture:
Mark 4:37–38 (NLT) –
“But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with His head on a cushion. The disciples woke Him up, shouting, ‘Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?’”
Key Point:
The storm does not scare Jesus. It submits to Him.
Devotional Thought:
Let’s be real.
When the waves of life start crashing in — when betrayal hits, when your name is dragged, when the addiction calls again, when the bills pile up, when depression sits heavy on your chest — it can feel like God is nowhere to be found.
And like the disciples, we cry out:
“Jesus, where are You? Don’t You see I’m drowning?”
But here’s the truth that the enemy doesn’t want you to remember:
Jesus was never missing. He was resting.
Why?
Because the storm couldn’t sink the boat He was in.
And sis, if He’s in your life… then the storm can’t sink you either.
Let that settle in your soul:
The presence of a storm doesn’t mean the absence of God.
It means you’re about to see His power up close.
What This Scripture Really Means:
The disciples thought the storm had more power than Jesus.
But storms don’t shake Jesus — Jesus shakes the storm.
He may seem silent, but He’s not absent.
He’s watching. He’s waiting. And when the time is right — He gets up and shuts the storm down.
One word from Jesus is louder than a thousand waves.
To the Woman of Encouraging Her Resilience:
You know storms too well.
You’ve lived through nights where the tears wouldn’t stop.
You’ve sat in jail cells, in shelters, in recovery centers, in empty apartments wondering if anyone would show up for you.
You’ve felt abandoned, broken, and buried under shame.
And through it all, the storm whispered:
“You’re alone.”
But today, Heaven is shouting back:
“You are NOT alone. Jesus is in the boat!”
You don’t have to fight this thing by yourself anymore.
You don’t have to explain why the waves are getting higher.
You just need to remember who’s in your boat.
Affirmation:
Jesus is in my boat, and my storm will NOT win.
Challenge for Today:
Take 10 quiet minutes. No phone. No noise.
Close your eyes and imagine Jesus sitting beside you — in your kitchen, in your room, in your chaos.
Then, in your journal, write a letter to the storm you’ve been battling.
Start it like this:
“You don’t scare me anymore. Jesus is with me. And your time is up.”
Prayer (Read Last and Pray Boldly):
Jesus, I’ve been overwhelmed by storms that never seem to stop. I’ve questioned if You were near. I’ve doubted if You even cared. But today, I take my eyes off the waves and I look at You. You are not afraid. You are not shaken. You are not late. You are here. And that changes everything. Speak peace over my life. Command silence over every lie. And remind me, moment by moment, that because You are in my boat — I will not drown. I trust You, Jesus. Be my peace. Be my anchor. Be my rescue. In Your mighty name I pray, Amen.
Sunday Devotional – June 29, 2025
Still Surrounded… But Still Standing
Scripture Focus: Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)
“The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Sis, have you ever looked around and felt like the attack was closing in from every direction?
Like the storm got louder.
Like the weapons got heavier.
Like the silence from God was deafening?
You’ve been standing. You’ve been praying. You’ve been crying out.
But it feels like Heaven is quiet and hell is having a field day.
You’re wondering:
“God… have You forgotten me?”
Let me declare this into your spirit this morning:
No, He hasn’t.
No, He won’t.
And no, this isn’t the end of your story.
When You’re Surrounded, Remember Who Surrounded You First
The enemy may be circling you right now.
People may be plotting.
You might feel the weight of spiritual warfare like never before.
But look again.
You’re not just surrounded by struggle.
You’re surrounded by the Savior.
The God who promised never to leave you is still in the middle of the mess.
The God who said, “I go before you,” is still out front.
He didn’t bring you through hell and heartbreak just to abandon you here.
This Battle Is Not Proof of His Absence—It’s Proof of Your Anointing
You don’t get attacked like this if you’re not carrying something dangerous to the kingdom of darkness.
The enemy didn’t come for you because you’re weak.
He came for you because you’re chosen.
Because you’re powerful.
Because you’re about to step into something that hell can’t stop.
But here’s what hell forgot:
You’re not fighting alone.
What Do You Do When You’ve Prayed and Nothing’s Moved?
You PUSH.
Pray Until Something Happens.
Even if your voice is tired.
Even if your knees are weak.
Even if your heart is broken—you PUSH.
You PUSH because God is still God.
You PUSH because His promises are still true.
You PUSH because even if you can’t see Him—you can trust Him.
Don’t Be Moved by What You Feel—Be Anchored by What You KNOW
God is not flaky.
He’s not finicky.
He’s not like people who walked away when it got hard.
He is FAITHFUL.
- He was faithful when you were broken.
- He was faithful when you had nothing left.
- He was faithful when they betrayed you.
- He was faithful when you felt unworthy.
And He is faithful right now.
He Hasn’t Brought You This Far to Leave You Here
Sis, you are too close to give up.
The fire didn’t destroy you.
The pit didn’t hold you.
The prayers haven’t been wasted.
God has walked every step with you.
Through every night of tears.
Through every unanswered question.
Through every moment you questioned your own worth.
And today, He’s reminding you:
“I have not forgotten you. I’m not done with you. And I will not fail you.”
Today’s Challenge:
- Get still. Turn off the noise. Shut down the voices of fear.
- Write down three battles that feel too heavy.
- Next to each one, write this: “BUT GOD IS WITH ME.”
- Then declare out loud:
“Even surrounded by trouble—I’m surrounded by glory.”
Today’s Declaration:
“God has not forsaken me.
He has not changed His mind about me.
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Though I am surrounded, I will not be shaken.
I will pray until something happens.
I will trust when I cannot trace Him.
I will believe when my faith feels thin.
Because my God is faithful.
My God is with me.
And He has never lost a battle.”
Sis, lift your head.
Wipe your tears.
Straighten your crown.
You are not forgotten.
You are not forsaken.
You are not finished.
You are surrounded—
but you are STILL STANDING.
DAY 5 – REFINED, NOT DESTROYED
Scripture Focus: Job 23:10 (NIV)
“But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.”
This is it, sis.
Day 5.
The final day.
The finish line.
And the beginning of your becoming.
You didn’t walk through these five days by accident.
You didn’t press through the fire for nothing.
You didn’t survive just to go back to who you were.
You are not destroyed—you are refined.
God Didn’t Let the Fire Take You—He Used It to Reveal You
There’s something dangerous about a woman who makes it through what should’ve killed her.
And you, sis? You’ve made it.
Through the trauma.
Through the addiction.
Through the abuse.
Through the silence.
Through the self-doubt.
Through the fire.
But the fire didn’t take you out.
It took off everything that wasn’t you.
- It burned away the lies.
- It broke the chains.
- It exposed the wounds you were hiding.
- It melted the masks you were wearing.
- And it gave birth to a woman who is fearless, focused, and full of fire.
You’re Not Coming Out Ashy—You’re Coming Out Anointed
Let’s be clear.
You are not emerging from this as a victim.
You are not crawling out with your head low.
You are stepping out crowned in oil and covered in glory.
You are the woman hell hoped wouldn’t recover.
But what hell didn’t know is…
the fire was never your end—it was your awakening.
God didn’t just bring you through the flames—He reintroduced you to yourself in the middle of them.
To the Woman of
Encouraging Her Resilience
…
You’ve spent years carrying other people’s pain.
You’ve mothered out of brokenness.
You’ve ministered while bleeding.
You’ve shown up when you had nothing left.
You’ve shouted with a shattered soul.
You’ve smiled while secretly sinking.
But now—you rise.
Not just because the fire is over,
But because the fire finally revealed the YOU that can no longer be hidden.
You are gold.
Refined.
Risen.
Resurrected.
And ready for everything God has been preparing you for.
You’ve Been Tested. But You’ve Also Been Trusted.
God trusted you with the fire.
Not because you were perfect.
But because He knew there was something unbreakable in you.
You didn’t give up.
You didn’t cave in.
You didn’t bow.
And now you come forth—not barely breathing, but roaring like a daughter who knows who she is.
DAY 5 CHALLENGE:
Write your resurrection.
Not your trauma.
Not your timeline.
Not your pain.
Write your resurrection story—in real time.
Start with:
“This is who I became because of the fire…”
Then let your words prophesy the woman you’ve become.
FINAL DECLARATION:
“I am not destroyed.
I am refined.
I am the proof that the fire didn’t win.
I am the evidence of God’s mercy and might.
What was sent to kill me only uncovered me.
I am not fragile—I am fire-tested.
I am not broken—I am rebuilt.
I didn’t just make it through—I’ve been made NEW.
I am gold. I am chosen. I am anointed.
And I will never bow again.”
Let this be the day you stop surviving.
And start walking like the weapon the fire produced.
You are not the same.
You are Refined. Not destroyed.
