Day 58 of 365: Exhausted

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, you know that my blog is real with transparent feelings and emotions. I’m going to be honest. I am exhausted.

Exhausted describes a state of being extremely tired, fatigued, or having absolutely no energy left. It also means completely used up, depleted, or drained of resources. Common synonyms include worn out, spent, drained, and fatigued.

Yep, that sounds about right.

Here is one thing that I am as well… Hopeful!!

I have learned that no matter how low I get, God is always with me. There is no place I can go where God can’t reach me.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for hearing my heart, when my mouth is too tired to open. Hear my heart and know that I love you, but I’m tired. Help me to rest in your presence and wait for you. In Jesus The Christ name, we do pray.

And we let be,…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 57 of 365: God Specializes

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, as we continue through this final week of Black History Month, I want to share a song that is deeply meaningful to me. Earlier today, I called my mother to ask her the name of the song I used to request that she and my father perform for me in Daddy’s den. Even in the early stages of dementia, she responded without hesitation: “It was called God Specializes.”

As she softly spoke the opening line of the song, I felt tears begin to well in my eyes. One of the last times my father was well enough to play the keyboard for me, he and my mother sang this very song together. That moment remains etched in my heart.

Today, I invite us to let the message of this song serve as our devotional —reminding us that God specializes in what seems impossible and meets us with grace, strength, and faithfulness in every season.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Ephesians 3:20-21
New International Version


20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Song Lyrics

God Specializes” – Lizz Wright

Have you any rivers
That seem uncrossable?
And have you any mountains
That you cannot tunnel through?

God specializes
In things thought impossible
And He will do what no other
No other power but holy power can do 

(God specializes)
God specializes
(God specializes)
When your body
(God specializes)
Is full of disease
(God specializes)
And your medicines
(God specializes)
It don’t give you no ease
(God specializes)
God specializes
(God specializes)
Yeah, God specializes

Day 56 of 365: This Far By Faith

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Growing up, I was always surrounded by music. My father was an exceptional musician with an expansive collection spanning every genre. My mother often shared that, even as an infant, music or singing was the only thing that could soothe me when I was upset. That remains true today. Music is my love language—especially music that reflects our relationship with God. It brings me the greatest joy, and I cannot count the number of battles I have faced and overcome by allowing music to carry the weight when words fell short.

Through music, I experience God’s presence in a deeply personal way. It becomes a form of prayer—one that quiets my spirit, strengthens my faith, and reminds me that I am never alone. In moments of uncertainty or struggle, music has been God’s instrument of peace, renewal, and reassurance, aligning my heart with His promises and restoring my hope.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Mark 11:22-24
New International Version


22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for creating us to worship you and walk with you. Thank you for every song that you have inspired that draws us closer to you. May the melody of our heart always be to worship you. In name of Jesus, The Christ, we do pray.

And we let it be…And so it is...

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 55 of 365: Jacob’s Ladder

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, as the month of February is about to come to a close, I want to give honor to some of the older gospel hymns. Today, I want to give honor to the hymn Jacob’s Ladder. The hymn is taken from Genesis 28:10-19 and accounts when Jacob is running from Esau because he stole his brother’s blessing and birthright by tricking his father. His mother told him to run, and Genesis 28 is the account of what happened.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Genesis 28:10-19
New International Version
Jacob’s Dream at Bethel


10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it[a] stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[b] 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”

18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. 19 He called that place Bethel,[c] though the city used to be called Luz.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for teaching us in every moment. You teach us and bless us even when we don’t deserve it. May our hearts always be for obedience. In the name of Jesus, The Christ we do pray.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 54 of 365: Be Still And Know..

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, I’m ready to jump right into the Word of God this evening.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Psalm 46
New International Version
Psalm 46[a]
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.[b]

A song.


1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living, thank you for helping us find our stillness in you. You are our refuge and our strength. We run to you for hope and for our future. We bless your holy and wondrous name. There is no name above the name of God, Jehovah. You are our Alpha and Omega. May we continually keep your name in our heart, mind, and spirit. In the matchless and holy name of our Redeemer, Jesus, The Anointed Christ.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 53 of 365: What Happens Now?

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, what happens when we close a major chapter of our lives or find ourselves in territory we have never been in before?

Whether it is a loss of a loved one or brand new parents bringing home a newborn baby from the hospital? What do we do when facing a new season?

Scripture Passage of the Day

Psalm 94:19
Living Bible


19 Lord, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for never leaving us or forsaking us. Even when we experience things that are new and exciting, we still may have some nervousness. Thank you for giving us peace in the midst of it all. In the name of Jesus, the Christ we do pray.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 52 of 365: Making Peace

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, have you ever had a falling out with a friend or family member? Have you ever held a grudge for days, weeks, months, or even years? Have you ever had a falling out with God? How do you make peace? What does the Bible say about it?

Scripture Passage of the Day

Matthew 5:23-24
The Message


23-24 “This is how I want you to conduct yourself in these matters. If you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you, abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and work things out with God.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for reminding us not to hold hate or anger in our hearts toward anyone. May our relationship with you cause us to forgive with a sincere heart. Search our hearts, and if you find anything that is not right, please show us so that we can be right with you. In Jesus name.

And we let it be… And so it is...

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 51 of 365: He Cares…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, when life gets tough and you feel like throwing in the towel, please remember that God cares for you. Also, remember that there are so many instances when the world watches how we respond to trials, tests, and tribulations. No, I’m not saying to be fake or insincere. What I’m saying is to trust God through whatever you are going through.

When you are tired and want to sit down and throw your hands up, it is perfectly alright to do that. Just remember to take a deep breath, ask the Lord to help you to your feet, and keep moving until you can grab ahold of hope. You are not alone. Remember to ask for help and prayer. The enemy will try to isolate you through depression and anxiety but don’t give in. Call out for help. You are not alone.

If you ever need someone to talk to because you are thinking about giving up, please call 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. You are NEVER ALONE.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Isaiah 41:10-13
New International Version


10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

11 “All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for reminding us how to pray when words escape us. Jesus told us to pray this prayer. Our Father who are in heaven, holy is your name. Your kingdom come, and your will be done in my life, as it has been spoken and decreed in heaven.

Lord God, you are the Bread of Life. Go with us today and be our portion and our sustenance. You are the Great, I Am. Everything we need you already have prepared for us.

Forgive us of our sins against you and our sins against others. I will remember to forgive others as well. Protect us from anything that would try to separate us from you. You Lord deserve all the glory, honor, and power. In Jesus name we do pray.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 50 of 365: The Appointed (Kairos) Time

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, have you ever put together a jigsaw puzzle or a large 100-piece or 1000 piece  puzzle? The front of the box is this perfect image that you are so excited to put together.

First thing, you open the box, and all the pieces are on the table. Suddenly, you begin to realize that this puzzle may not be as simple as it looked. This puzzle is going to take patience, time, and looking back at the cover to remember what the image is supposed to look like.

What you thought was going to take a few hours has now turned into a few days and maybe even a few weeks, depending on how much time you dedicate to it each day. Each time you sit back down to work on the puzzle, the first thing you do is look at the cover to remind yourself of the completed look. Then, one day, it is finally time to put the last piece of the puzzle into its place. What a wonderful feeling!!! You did it!!!

Family, it is the same with God. He knows where all the puzzle pieces go in our lives. How often are we willing to lay on the table, in stillness, and allow him to put the right pieces into place?

Scripture Passage of the Day

Jeremiah 29:11-13
New International Version


11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for continuing to work on us. Let us not grow weary, tired, or frustrated when we are not as far along as we think we should be. Give us peace in knowing that the more we surrender to your will, the faster the pieces will come together. So many times we want to ask, “Is it done yet?” but we trust you and your kairos (ordained time). Let it be so, in Jesus’ name.

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 49 of 365: Heavy Weights

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, have you ever had to carry in a lot of groceries from the car? In school, did you have to tote book bags that weighed a ton? Isn’t it such a relief to put down something that is heavy?

For me, taking off the weight is literal. I have to lose weight because of what the extra unnecessary weight is doing to my body.

The Bible talks about taking the weight off of anything that ensnare or hinders us from our high calling in Jesus Christ.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Hebrews 12:1-2
Amplified Bible
Jesus, the Example


12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of [a]witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us, 2 [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, [b]disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for reminding us that there are certain things we were never supposed to carry. Let us remember that we have a higher purpose and calling that is before us. Remind us to do a self check to make sure we are not carrying anything that would slow us down or derail us from our mission in Christ Jesus. It is in the name of Jesus that we lift up this prayer.

And we let it be…And so it is

Amen, Amen, and Amen
