Day 68 of 365: Cooling Down…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, I’ve always promised to be transparent and honest. Today is one of those days that I am mad, confused, and want to have an “Easy” button to push. It seems like things aren’t going as planned, and if they are going as planned, the plan is taking a mighty long time. I know that the space I’m in right now – I can’t hear the Holy Spirit because my brain is going 100 mph. It is in these times that I have to ask for the Lord’s forgiveness and allow his grace and peace to come and wash over me.

So, I leave you with this scripture for today.

God spoke these words to Israel when they felt trapped, overwhelmed, and unsure of the plan—much like we do sometimes. Stillness doesn’t mean giving up; it means trusting. When we can’t see progress, God is still at work. When our minds won’t slow down, His power hasn’t sped up or slowed down—it remains constant.

Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is stop striving, breathe, and remember: the battle is not ours to control, but God’s to fight.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Exodus 14:14
New International Version


14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Let Us Pray

Lord, quiet my racing thoughts. Forgive me when frustration clouds my faith. Help me to be still, trust Your timing, and rest in the truth that You are fighting for me. Let Your grace and peace wash over me today. In the precious and perfect name of Jesus, The Christ.

And we let it be…And so it is

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Greetings Precious Family:

I pray that this devotional finds you in a place of perfect peace. When I say, “Perfect Peace,” I don’t mean that everything in your life is perfect. The peace I’m talking about is not like what the world would call peace. The peace I’m speaking of is the peace that comes from the Lord.

In the 14th chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus is preparing the disciples for His departure. He is also preparing them for the arrival of the Holy Spirit.

There is always a process and an order with God. First the birth, then the life, then the death, then the resurrection, then the gift of the Comforter to continue teaching where Jesus left off while he was there in the flesh.

Scriptures of Hope

John 14:23-27

New International Version

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Song of Hope

So many times, one of the hardest things for us to do is to simply let go and let God lead. Please trust that if God brought you/us this far, He will continue to be faithful to bring us all the way home.

If you don’t know how to let go, just ask God. God never sleeps or slumbers. God is always available to listen. More than anything, God just wants to spend time with you. No fancy prayers are required. Just lay your head on God’s chest and talk. Be sure to have an open heart so that you will be able to listen.

I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of our Redeemer and Lord, Jesus, The Christ.

Your sister,

Rev. Marcia Davis
