Day 4 of 365: The Cost

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greeting, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

On day four of our year-long devotional journey, I would like to continue our discussion of preparation. Specifically, as we continue our preparation to go deeper in our spiritual journey, we must also consider what our decision will cost us.

Scripture of the Day

Galatians 2:20
New International Version


20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, we thank you for all you gave in human form as Jesus Christ. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice you made in order for us to have an intimate relationship with you. May we humbly and soberly realize that this journey will also cause us to make sacrifices as well, in order to draw closer to you. May we easily let go of anything that tries to keep us in a stagnant spiritual place. We desire to draw closer to you. In the name and power of our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus, The Christ.

And we let it be.. And so it is.

Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Day 3 of 365: The Preparation

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

We are officially in the first weekend of the new year. The year has a clean slate, and so many wonderful things can happen as long as we make the proper preparations. How are you going to prepare to make your dreams, goals, and visions manifest into reality?

Scripture passages of the day:

Luke 14:28-29
New International Version


28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower (house). Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you.

Let us pray:

Spirit of the Living God, we bless your name and put nothing before or ahead of you. Guide our steps so that we may know the right way to go according to the will of Heaven.  Let not our pride or our free will cause us to stumble, but instead, we willingly and freely bend our will to your way. Strengthen our faith as we walk according to your will. In the name of Jesus our Lord.

And we let it be…and so it is.

Amen, Amen and Amen.

Day 2 of 365: Deserving of Worship

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Good morning, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, as we embark on the second day of our 2026 journey together, I woke up this morning thinking about how deserving God is of all of our praise, worship, sacrifice, and obedience. Even in the most trying of times, God’s faithfulness has always been the same.

Today’s scripture passage:

Psalm 100:4

New International Version

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.

Let us pray:

Spirit of the Living God:

We lift our hands and voices to give you the glory today. Thank you for your faithfulness toward us. May our lives be living testimonies of your goodness and favor. Spirit of the Living God, show us and remind us of the good way to walk.

Allow our spiritual ears to be finely in tune with the will of Heaven. May we live a life on purpose and in freedom from the sins that separate us from you. May we forever be a suitable dwelling place for you reside.

In the name of our Redeemer, Way Shower, and Chief Intercessor, Jesus Christ our Lord.

And we let it….and so it is… Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Spirit of the Living God…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Spirit of the Living God. We bless your holy name. We speak the name that is above every name, when we call on Jehovah Rapha because YOU, Lord, are the One who heals. We cry out in repentance to you. There is no part of us that does not bless your name.

Spirit of the Living God, forgive us for being lovers of ourselves and placing so many idols in front of you. We repent for making idols of people, places, things, politics, religion instead of a relationship with you, money, and so many other things that satisfy our flesh and cause us to turn away from you.

Spirit of the Living God, those of us who are in a relationship with you, we rip our clothes and mourn our selfish ways and the selfish ways of those on earth. May your Kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

We have made a mockery of the name of Jesus as we hide behind our personal and global agendas. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

We turn to you, Lord, for an intimate relationship with you and nothing else. We have no other agenda but you. Search our hearts, Lord. Burn out any unclean thought, seed, weed, and root that is not like you.

As we turn back to you, may we manifest your glory. As we turn back to you, may we manifest your peace. As we turn back to you, may we manifest your Love.

We lift these prayers to you, Lord, and we ask that the Blood of the Lamb, our Chief Intercessor, and Redeemer cover them as they rise to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness2 Comments

Good morning, Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

I have some exciting news to share. I have been in prayer lately regarding the future of  Sacred Journey Devotional Blog. I was thinking, for some time, that it may be time for this chapter of my life to come to an end.  I have been writing these devotionals for exactly 10 years.

Once I became quiet enough to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice, I realized that I was confusing Ending with Transformation!!!!

God led me to Isaiah 43:19 earlier this year and it keeps popping up in different areas of my life, which gives me confidence of the word that I heard. Not an ending of something but a transformation of something.

WE ARE IN THE SEASON OF TRANSFORMATION!!!!

Holy Scriptures

Isaiah 43:19

New International Version

19 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Time of Prayer

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for your faithfulness and love. Thank you for always calling us to a higher place and consciousness. Allow our thinking to expand to be able to follow you with complete surrender and joy and allow our faith to do the rest. I will trust you through the blessed wilderness as you lead us to a new place both inside and out. In the matchless and powerful name of Jesus Amen.

Song of Praise and Faith

Be blessed, Family.

Love Is…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness2 Comments

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.

I woke up this morning with a spirit of gratefulness and love. In 2015, God allowed my husband to find me. We were married on December 18, 2015. Yes, today is our anniversary.  The first few years of marriage were so exciting and fun, full of travel, adventures, and new love. We were in complete and total Bliss.

Then, 2021 came, and all of our vows were tested. All of our vows…for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health and all the places and phases that life found us.

My husband and I have had to learn what love “looks like” will take different shapes and forms, depending on what season we are currently going through. There is no ONE way to love. Each season has taught us new and different ways to love each other.

Beginning in 2016, I began to officiate weddings. There is a reason that 1st Corinthians 13 is called the “Love Chapter” in the Bible. As Christians, we have a different model to follow than the world does. As a married couple, we are modeling Christ to each other.

Holy Scriptures

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

English Standard Version

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[a] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8 Love never ends, or fails.

Love Song

This week’s worship song is a little different. It is not a worship song, in the traditional sense, but it is mine and my husband’s song.

Babyface – Exceptional

Family, I would like to wish each and every one of you a very happy and healthy holiday season. May you celebrate the birth of God’s only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, Our Emmanuel.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I will return in 2025 with more devotionals – if God allows it to be.

Your sister,

Withholding Nothing

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Good morning, Family:

I pray that today’s letter finds you all abiding safely in the peace of God. May that peace, in which we dwell, be evident in every area of our lives. 

Family, the Holy Spirit of God is so precious and patient. The Holy Spirit leads and guides us in growth and knowledge of God so that we can share with the world around us the message of God’s greatest act of Love, which is the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of his only begotten son Jesus Christ.

With all that Jesus has done for us, for the sole purpose of having a relationship with Him, we are encouraged to withhold nothing from Him. If there are any areas of your life that you know are blocking you from total fellowship with God, it/they need to be removed. Give yourself away to God to use for His holy purposes.

May our heart’s cry be, “Lord, all I want is you.” May our lives be a continual act of worship, withholding nothing for God’s holy purpose for our lives.

Holy Scriptures

Romans 12:1-2

New International Version

A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Good morning, Precious Family:

May the Peace of our Lord and Savior be with you. No matter what you may be facing, it is the Lord’s Peace that will keep you steady, in this season and every season after.

Family, it is so good to be able to write to you again. I’m always excited when the Lord gives me the opportunity to share in his inspired Word.

I know that I talk about the Lord’s Peace quite often, but the reason is that I know it can transform lives. The Lord’s Peace is a shield against the enemy. The Lord’s Peace is a stabilizer and it is our strength.

I pray that if you have not already that you would allow and invite the Holy Spirit of God to pour out His Peace on you, in a supernatural level, so that in any situation you my find yourself in, you will feel God’s Peace pulsating through you.

Our brother Paul says this about the Lord’s peace.

Holy Scriptures

Philippians 4:4-7

New International Version

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Family, I constantly pray for your strength in the Lord. May you always remember that you are never alone. I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus the Christ.

Good Day!!!

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness1 Comment

Good morning, Family;

I am so glad to be connecting with you this week. Last week, my body was not cooperating with me, but I feel like myself again.

Today’s devotional is going to be straightforward and to the point. I take every day as a wonderful gift from God.

I’m going to let you deep into my world. If you were to ever ride in my car, you would hear me blasting ONE radio station. This radio station is not in Atlanta (I’m praying for it to come here). I listen to it through their mobile App.

Please know that this station did not ask me to write anything. I am one of their biggest fans. Why am I a fan??? Boost Radio plays Christ-Centeted music that makes you want to bop your head, raise your hands, and if you are feeling a bit wild….Tap your feet. They are a listener supported station and do not play commercial about politics, and they are not backed by any particular church. Their soul mission is to spread the Hope, Love, and Peace of Jesus Christ.

I have heard testimony after testimony of lives that have been saved from suicide attempts, addiction, life choices and many other things, because of a song that was played. Families call the station in gratitude that the whole family can listen to the radio.

Yes, I love my gospel music and contemporary Christian music, but my everyday music is upbeat urban Christian music that spreads HOPE, JOY, and LOVE through Jesus Christ.

So today, I’m thankful that I am having a good day. I leave one of my songs by Forrest Frank with you. Check out the Boost Radio App (Android and Apple) for yourself for a week and let me know what you think.

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

Our Father…

Greetings, Precious Family:

I pray that you all had time to reflect and be thankful for the many blessings in your life, over the holiday weekend. Whether it is your family, your health, or your ability to be able to talk to the Creator of the whole world, there are so many things to be thankful for today.

There are days that even though we are grateful, we still go through trials and tribulations in this thing called life. One thing to remember is that we are never alone. God promised to never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6).

On more than one occasion, in conversation, someone would talk to me about something they were going through. Inevitably, at some point in the conversation, they would share their frustration in not knowing how or what to pray for in their particular situation.

I would always remind them that Jesus had already taught us how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13.

Our prayers should be structured in this format:

1. Give God and the Kingdom of Heaven honor

2. Acknowledge that you want to be in agreement with what has been spoken and decreed in heaven.

3. Our prayers MUST be in agreement with the will of God. Our prayers are for what has been spoken in heaven to manifest on earth. It is not about our will.

4. In prayer, it is not about what we want. Ask God to teach you how to pray in agreement with heaven (Your will be done. Your kingdom come, on earth, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN).

4. Ask God to keep you from all hurt, harm, and danger. Ask for protection from any seen and unseen traps, snars, and witchcraft of the enemy. Ask God to teach you how to pray specifically over your home, town, and country, according to His will.

5. Close the prayer by acknowledging the majesty and power of God.

6. Seal your prayer with the all-powerful name of our Lord, Wayshower, and Redeemer Jesus, The Christ, who intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father.

That is the formula to effectively pray in ANY situation.
