Your Daily Prayer

Editor's note - the wrong episode originally aired here - we have replaced the audio and the correct episode is now here. Thank you for your patience with us! Bible Verse: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” - Matthew 5:43-47 (NIV) ✨ Daily Meditation: In today’s profound devotional, Jaime Hampton, host of Praying Christian Women Podcast., explores one of Jesus’ most radical and challenging teachings: loving our enemies. This message, drawn from the Sermon on the Mount, calls us not only to tolerate but to bless, pray for, and show compassion to those who oppose or hurt us. We are reminded that our real enemy is not flesh and blood, but the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). When we shift from retaliation to intercession, we begin to see others through God’s eyes — as image-bearers, not adversaries. It’s in these moments of surrendered love that God does His deepest transformative work in us and through us. 💡 Main Takeaways: Loving enemies sets believers apart as children of the Father. Spiritual warfare is not with people, but with unseen forces of darkness. Praying for those who hurt us leads to heart transformation and reconciliation. Compassion doesn’t condone sin, but it reflects God’s grace-filled character. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, even the hardest obedience becomes possible. 🎙️ About the Author: Jaime Hampton is a speaker, writer, and co-host of the Praying Christian Women Podcast. With a heart for prayer and spiritual transformation, she encourages women to develop bold, Spirit-led lives rooted in biblical truth.

📖 Bible Verse: Philippians 1:3 "I thank my God every time I remember you." ✨ Devotional Overview: Vacations with family are meant to be joyful times of connection, laughter, and memory-making. But for many, the stress of travel, the pressure to make everything “perfect,” or the challenge of family dynamics can threaten that peace. In today’s devotional, Chelsey DeMatteis reminds us that while moments may be imperfect, God uses these times to teach us about joy, perspective, and extending peace—even amid the chaos. Chelsey shares heartwarming and humorous stories from her own family trips and encourages us to become intentional carriers of God’s peace in every setting, especially during vacations. Whether you're chasing toddlers by the lake or navigating difficult conversations around the dinner table, you are called to bring calm, reflect Christ, and cherish the people in front of you. 💡 Key Takeaways: Memories are a blessing from God—meant to remind us of His goodness and faithfulness. We have a choice to be a peaceful presence or to add to the stress. Shifting our mindset from personal expectations to a focus on shared joy and connection invites more moments of grace. God uses family time to shape our hearts and reflect His love to those around us. 🙌 Encouragement: You don’t need a perfect trip to have a meaningful vacation. Allow God to use each moment—good and hard—to reveal His heart, deepen your gratitude, and grow your love for one another. Let peace be your default setting this season, and let your presence point your loved ones toward Jesus. 🧭 Reflective Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 – “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” 📚 Related Resources and Articles: “10 Scriptures to Pray Before a Family Vacation” – Crosswalk.com “3 Practical Tips for Peaceful Family Time” – iBelieve.com 📌 About the Author: Chelsey DeMatteis is a devotional writer, speaker, and podcast host passionate about helping women walk closely with Jesus in every season of life.

The Church was never meant to be stagnant, divided, or distracted. In this urgent and inspiring devotional, Victoria Riollano shares her perspective as a pastor’s wife and spiritual leader, reminding us that revival doesn’t begin in a building—it begins in the hearts of believers. Too often, churches are caught in petty divisions or cultural debates, losing sight of the Great Commission.
