A 30-Day Devotional – Life Changes, But God Remains

Day 1 – God Does Not Change

Hebrews 13:8 (NASB): “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.”

Life changes quickly, but Christ does not. People fail, plans shift, health declines, but Jesus is steady. Faith clings to the unchanging Savior in a changing world.

Poem: The Same Lord
Life turns and moves.
Days come and go.
People fail and leave.
But Christ remains.
Always the same.

Time cannot alter Him.
Sorrow cannot weaken Him.
Sin cannot stain Him.
Death cannot defeat Him.
He remains forever.

Christ yesterday in creation.
Christ today in salvation.
Christ tomorrow in glory.
Christ in all eternity.
Always the same.

My world is unstable.
My steps are uncertain.
My heart is restless.
But He is steady.
He does not change.

I trust Him still.
I rest in Him.
I walk with Him.
I wait for Him.
For He is the same.

Prayer
Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are the same in every season of my life. Forgive me for fearing the changes around me more than trusting Your stability.
Father, remind me daily that You are unchanging when everything else shifts. Keep me anchored in Your promises and Your presence.
Holy Spirit, steady my heart when I am restless. Teach me to rest in Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
When change unsettles me, remind me of the God who never changes. Amen.


Day 2 – Every Season Has Its Time

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NASB): “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven.”

Life’s seasons are not accidents; they are appointments. God ordains times of joy and times of sorrow, beginnings and endings. Nothing is wasted under His hand.

Poem: Appointed Time
There is a time to begin.
There is a time to end.
There is a time to laugh.
There is a time to weep.
God appoints them all.

Time is not random.
Time is not wasted.
Time is not chance.
Time is not chaos.
God holds it all.

My days are ordered.
My nights are known.
My future is written.
My past is covered.
My present is kept.

In joy, He is there.
In sorrow, He is near.
In gain, He is Lord.
In loss, He is still God.
Every time belongs to Him.

I trust the seasons.
I accept the change.
I rest in His plan.
I walk in His will.
He holds the times.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for appointing times in my life. I confess I resist the seasons I do not like. Forgive me for doubting Your hand in them.
Father, remind me that every change has purpose, even when I do not see it. Teach me to trust Your timing.
Holy Spirit, give me courage to walk faithfully in the season I am in. Help me not to wish for another, but to find You in this one.
Lord, let every appointed time bring me nearer to Christ and deeper into trust. Amen.


Day 3 – God Holds Our Days

Psalm 31:15 (NASB): “My times are in Your hand; Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.”

David confessed that his days, his future, and his present struggles were in God’s hand. Seasons are not held by men, enemies, or chance, but by God Himself.

Poem: My Times
My days are not mine.
My future is not mine.
My breath is not mine.
My steps are not mine.
They are His.

The hand of man fails.
The hand of the enemy threatens.
The hand of the world presses.
But God’s hand holds.
It never lets go.

In His hand I am safe.
In His hand I am steady.
In His hand I am strong.
In His hand I am secure.
My times are kept.

Seasons shift and move.
Enemies rise and fall.
But God rules all.
My times belong to Him.
Always.

I rest.
I trust.
I walk.
I endure.
He holds me.

Prayer
Lord, I confess my fear when I think others control my life. Forgive me for forgetting that my times are in Your hand.
Father, remind me that no season comes without Your permission, and no enemy can overturn Your purpose. Keep me steady in this truth.
Holy Spirit, help me to rest secure in the hand of God. When fear rises, remind me of His control.
Lord, let my trust deepen and my peace remain, for my times are held by You. Amen.


Day 4 – Seasons Are Set by God

Daniel 2:21 (NASB): “It is He who changes the times and the periods; He removes kings and appoints kings; He gives wisdom to wise men, and knowledge to people of understanding.”

God is Lord of time and seasons. Nothing changes by accident. Every shift in your life is under His rule.

Poem: God Appoints
Times change by His hand.
Seasons move at His will.
History bends to His rule.
Nations rise and fall.
God remains.

What feels uncertain is planned.
What feels random is ordered.
What feels broken is held.
What feels wasted is used.
God rules.

He sets the hour.
He guides the years.
He directs the days.
He appoints the season.
He governs all.

I need not fear.
I need not doubt.
I need not despair.
I need not run.
God reigns.

My life is secure.
My days are known.
My path is guided.
My future is kept.
God appoints it all.

Prayer
Lord, remind me that You hold all seasons. Forgive me when I fear change as if it is outside Your control.
Father, teach me to trust You in history and in my story. What seems unstable to me is steady in Your hands.
Holy Spirit, calm my restless heart when life shifts. Keep me leaning on the God who appoints every season.
Help me live confident that my times are ruled by the sovereign hand of God. Amen.


Day 5 – Change Teaches Dependence

Deuteronomy 8:2 (NASB): “And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, in order to humble you, putting you to the test, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.”

The wilderness was God’s classroom. He uses changing circumstances to teach us humility and dependence.

Poem: The Wilderness
The path is hard.
The road is long.
The day is dry.
The need is great.
God is near.

He humbles my pride.
He tests my heart.
He shows my weakness.
He proves His strength.
God teaches me.

I see my failure.
I see my need.
I see His mercy.
I see His power.
I see His love.

The wilderness is not waste.
The wilderness is not lost.
The wilderness is not random.
The wilderness is not cruel.
The wilderness is God’s tool.

Faith learns dependence.
Faith learns obedience.
Faith learns trust.
Faith learns surrender.
Faith learns God.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for resisting seasons that humble me. I want ease more than I want growth.
Father, teach me to see Your purpose in the wilderness. Show me that every dry path is a classroom for faith.
Holy Spirit, keep me from pride in times of change. Drive me deeper into dependence on Christ.
Let me remember the wilderness not as loss, but as the place where You drew me near. Amen.


Day 6 – Change Brings Sorrow but Not Despair

Psalm 30:5 (NASB): “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.”

Sorrow is real, but it is temporary. God’s favor endures beyond the night.

Poem: Night and Morning
The night is long.
The tears are many.
The heart is heavy.
The silence is deep.
But God is there.

The morning is coming.
The dawn is sure.
The sun will rise.
The joy will break.
God will restore.

Sorrow is not forever.
Grief is not the end.
Loss is not final.
Pain is not permanent.
God is faithful.

His favor is greater.
His mercy is longer.
His love is stronger.
His grace is lasting.
His joy is eternal.

I endure the night.
I wait for the dawn.
I cling to His Word.
I trust His promise.
I hope in His joy.

Prayer
Lord, thank You that sorrow is not forever. Forgive me when I see the night as endless.
Father, remind me that Your favor lasts for a lifetime, even when I walk through grief.
Holy Spirit, strengthen me to endure the night and hope for the dawn.
Let me live as one who knows joy is coming, because God is faithful. Amen.


Day 7 – Change Builds Strength Through Waiting

Isaiah 40:31 (NASB): “Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.”

Waiting is not wasted—it is strengthening. God renews us in the waiting.

Poem: Waiting Strength
Waiting feels empty.
Waiting feels slow.
Waiting feels useless.
Waiting feels heavy.
But God is at work.

Strength comes in waiting.
Hope comes in waiting.
Endurance comes in waiting.
Faith comes in waiting.
God gives wings.

The weary run.
The tired walk.
The faint rise.
The weak endure.
God sustains.

Waiting is not delay.
Waiting is design.
Waiting is not lost.
Waiting is gain.
Waiting is God’s gift.

I wait with hope.
I wait with faith.
I wait with joy.
I wait with trust.
I wait for God.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for despising waiting. I see it as wasted time, but You see it as shaping time.
Father, renew my strength in the season of delay. Teach me to hope when I want to hurry.
Holy Spirit, lift me on eagle’s wings when I am weary.
Let my waiting become worship, and my waiting become strength in Christ. Amen.

Day 8 – Change Produces Fruit Through Abiding

John 15:5 (NASB): “I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”

Fruitfulness is not about doing more but about staying connected to Christ. Change often reveals whether we are abiding or drifting.

Poem: The Vine
He is the Vine.
I am the branch.
Life flows from Him.
Strength flows from Him.
Fruit flows from Him.

Apart from Him is nothing.
Apart from Him is empty.
Apart from Him is barren.
Apart from Him is dead.
Apart from Him is loss.

In Him is life.
In Him is strength.
In Him is fruit.
In Him is fullness.
In Him is joy.

The branch does not strive.
The branch does not boast.
The branch does not produce.
The branch abides.
The branch receives.

I remain in Him.
I stay connected.
I cling to Christ.
I live by grace.
I bear fruit.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for trying to bear fruit apart from You. My efforts are empty without Your life.
Father, teach me to abide daily in Christ. Keep me close when change tempts me to wander.
Holy Spirit, let Your life flow through me, producing what I cannot.
Let my fruit be proof that I remain in Jesus. Amen.


Day 9 – Change Brings Loss but Not Hopelessness

Job 1:21 (NASB): “He said, ‘Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.’”

Loss strips us down, but faith blesses God in every season.

Poem: Blessed Be His Name
The gift is from God.
The loss is from God.
The life is from God.
The death is from God.
The Lord gives and takes.

My hands are empty.
My heart is broken.
My soul is shaken.
My world is changed.
But God is the same.

I bless His name.
I trust His hand.
I rest in His will.
I hope in His love.
I worship still.

Loss is not the end.
Loss is not wasted.
Loss is not hopeless.
Loss is not defeat.
Loss is His tool.

Blessed be His name.
Blessed in the giving.
Blessed in the taking.
Blessed in the sorrow.
Blessed forever.

Prayer
Lord, I confess that loss is hard. Forgive me for questioning Your goodness in pain.
Father, teach me to bless You when You give and when You take away.
Holy Spirit, draw me near when grief threatens to consume me.
Let my faith remain steady in the God who is faithful even in loss. Amen.


Day 10 – Change Tests Faith

1 Peter 1:6–7 (NASB): “In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Trials reveal if faith is real. Change often brings the fire that tests, but God uses it to refine us.

Poem: Tested Faith
Faith is tested.
Faith is tried.
Faith is refined.
Faith is proved.
Faith is strengthened.

The fire is hot.
The pain is real.
The weight is heavy.
The heart is pressed.
But God is at work.

Gold is purified.
Faith is more precious.
Gold perishes.
Faith endures.
Faith glorifies Christ.

Trials do not destroy.
Trials do not waste.
Trials do not win.
Trials reveal.
Trials refine.

I rejoice.
I endure.
I trust.
I wait.
I glorify Christ.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for resenting trials. Teach me to see them as tools in Your hand.
Father, refine my faith so it shines in glory to Jesus. Keep me from bitterness.
Holy Spirit, strengthen me when the fire feels too much. Help me endure with trust.
Let my tested faith honor Christ until the day He is revealed. Amen.

Day 11 – Change Reminds Us of Life’s Brevity

Psalm 90:12 (NASB): “So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.”

Change is God’s reminder that time is short. Numbered days bring wisdom.

Poem: Numbered Days
Life is brief.
Life is fragile.
Life is fading.
Life is short.
Life is passing.

God counts my days.
God orders my steps.
God knows my end.
God sets my time.
God rules my life.

Wisdom comes in numbering.
Wisdom comes in seeing.
Wisdom comes in humility.
Wisdom comes in urgency.
Wisdom comes in truth.

My days are gifts.
My breath is grace.
My time is limited.
My calling is real.
My eternity is near.

I live wisely.
I live humbly.
I live urgently.
I live faithfully.
I live for Christ.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for wasting days as if they were endless. Teach me to number them.
Father, help me present a heart of wisdom by living for what matters.
Holy Spirit, awaken me to the urgency of time. Keep me from drifting.
Let my days be used for Christ’s glory until I stand before Him. Amen.


Day 12 – Change Calls for Trust

Proverbs 3:5–6 (NASB): “Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.”

When change brings uncertainty, faith rests in God’s wisdom, not our own.

Poem: Trust the Lord
My heart is tempted.
My mind is restless.
My path is unclear.
My way is unknown.
But God is sure.

Trust with all.
Trust without doubt.
Trust without leaning.
Trust without fear.
Trust in Him.

Lean not on self.
Lean not on reason.
Lean not on sight.
Lean not on pride.
Lean on God.

Acknowledge Him daily.
Acknowledge Him fully.
Acknowledge Him always.
Acknowledge Him first.
Acknowledge Him only.

He makes paths straight.
He makes ways clear.
He makes steps firm.
He makes life steady.
He makes faith strong.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for trusting myself more than You. I lean on my own wisdom.
Father, teach me to trust You with all my heart, not just part of it.
Holy Spirit, direct my steps when the way forward is uncertain.
Let my life be marked by faith that trusts God in every change. Amen.


Day 13 – Change Teaches Surrender

Luke 22:42 (NASB): “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

Jesus prayed surrender in the garden. Change teaches us to lay down our will and accept the Father’s.

Poem: Not My Will
The cup is bitter.
The path is heavy.
The burden is real.
The pain is deep.
Yet I trust.

Not my will.
Not my way.
Not my plan.
Not my control.
But Yours.

Surrender is faith.
Surrender is trust.
Surrender is strength.
Surrender is obedience.
Surrender is life.

The Son surrendered.
The cross was borne.
The will was done.
The victory was won.
The Father was glorified.

I surrender.
I obey.
I follow.
I trust.
I live.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for resisting Your will. I cling to my own way.
Father, teach me to surrender as Jesus did in the garden.
Holy Spirit, give me strength to trust the Father’s plan, even in pain.
Let my life be marked by surrender that glorifies God. Amen.


Day 14 – Change Can Renew Our Strength

2 Corinthians 4:16 (NASB): “Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.”

Change may weaken the body but can renew the soul. God uses seasons of decline to strengthen the inner life.

Poem: Renewed Daily
The body fades.
The strength weakens.
The health declines.
The life shortens.
But God renews.

The inner man grows.
The soul strengthens.
The spirit lives.
The faith deepens.
The hope endures.

Day by day.
Moment by moment.
Grace by grace.
Mercy by mercy.
Life by life.

We do not lose heart.
We do not give up.
We do not despair.
We do not faint.
We endure.

Christ is near.
Heaven awaits.
Glory is coming.
Life is eternal.
God renews.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for losing heart when I feel weak. Teach me to see renewal in the inner person.
Father, renew me day by day by Your Spirit. Keep my heart steady.
Holy Spirit, strengthen me in the unseen even as the outer fades.
Let my hope be in Christ who renews me daily until glory comes. Amen.


Day 15 – Change Points Us to Eternity

2 Corinthians 4:18 (NASB): “So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Change teaches us not to cling to the temporary but to live for the eternal.

Poem: Eternal Focus
The seen fades.
The seen breaks.
The seen changes.
The seen ends.
The seen is temporary.

The unseen lasts.
The unseen holds.
The unseen endures.
The unseen shines.
The unseen is eternal.

Faith looks beyond.
Faith looks higher.
Faith looks further.
Faith looks deeper.
Faith looks eternal.

Life is not here.
Life is not now.
Life is not fleeting.
Life is not fading.
Life is forever.

I set my eyes.
I lift my gaze.
I fix my hope.
I trust the unseen.
I walk by faith.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for clinging to the temporary. I live as if this is all there is.
Father, teach me to fix my eyes on what is unseen and eternal.
Holy Spirit, help me to value the eternal above the fading.
Let my life reflect hope in the eternal Christ. Amen.


Day 16 – Waiting in Change

Psalm 27:14 (NASB): “Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord.”

Change often tempts us to hurry, but waiting is where faith grows. God strengthens the heart that waits for Him.

Poem: Waiting with Courage
Waiting is hard.
Waiting is long.
Waiting is silent.
Waiting is unseen.
But God is present.

Wait with strength.
Wait with courage.
Wait with trust.
Wait with hope.
Wait with God.

The heart trembles.
The mind doubts.
The soul tires.
The spirit faints.
But God restores.

Delay is not denial.
Silence is not absence.
Waiting is not waste.
Patience is not weakness.
God is working.

I wait.
I trust.
I hope.
I endure.
I see God.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for rushing ahead of You. Teach me to wait.
Father, strengthen my heart with courage while I wait for Your timing.
Holy Spirit, quiet my anxious mind when I cannot see Your hand.
Let me wait faithfully until You move, and trust that You are always working. Amen.


Day 17 – God’s Power, Not Ours

1 Corinthians 2:5 (NASB): “So that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God.”

When change strips away confidence in man, it calls us to trust in God’s power.

Poem: Resting in His Power
Man’s wisdom fails.
Man’s strength fades.
Man’s plans collapse.
Man’s knowledge ends.
But God remains.

His power holds.
His power saves.
His power sustains.
His power lifts.
His power endures.

Faith does not rest on man.
Faith does not rest on reason.
Faith does not rest on sight.
Faith does not rest on flesh.
Faith rests on God.

Seasons change.
Leaders fall.
Nations shake.
Lives shift.
God rules.

I rest in Him.
I trust His hand.
I walk by faith.
I live by grace.
I stand in power.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for trusting in men more than in You.
Father, anchor my faith in Your power, not my understanding.
Holy Spirit, remind me daily that God’s strength sustains me.
Let my life display trust in Your unchanging might. Amen.


Day 18 – God’s Promises in Change

Romans 4:20–21 (NASB): “Yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to do.”

Abraham’s story teaches us: change does not cancel God’s promises. His Word stands sure.

Poem: Faith in His Promise
The promise was delayed.
The years were long.
The hope was tested.
The faith was stretched.
But God was faithful.

Abraham believed.
Abraham trusted.
Abraham waited.
Abraham grew strong.
Abraham glorified God.

God’s promise stands.
God’s Word endures.
God’s hand performs.
God’s will is certain.
God’s power is sure.

Faith does not waver.
Faith does not doubt.
Faith does not quit.
Faith gives glory.
Faith rests assured.

I trust His Word.
I wait in hope.
I cling to promise.
I glorify God.
I live by faith.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for wavering when Your promises seem delayed.
Father, remind me that what You promise, You are able to do.
Holy Spirit, strengthen my faith to glorify God in the waiting.
Let me live assured that every word of God will stand. Amen.


Day 19 – Endurance Through Change

Matthew 24:13 (NASB): “But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved.”

Faith is not a momentary feeling but an enduring trust. Change tests our perseverance.

Poem: Enduring Faith
Faith starts.
Faith walks.
Faith struggles.
Faith suffers.
Faith endures.

The end is near.
The road is long.
The path is hard.
The fight is real.
But Christ sustains.

Endurance is victory.
Endurance is faith.
Endurance is strength.
Endurance is trust.
Endurance is life.

Seasons change.
Trials come.
Sorrows rise.
Responsibilities shift.
Faith remains.

I press on.
I hold fast.
I trust Christ.
I keep faith.
I endure.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for wanting to quit when the path is hard.
Father, give me strength to endure to the end.
Holy Spirit, remind me that salvation belongs to those who persevere.
Let my faith remain steady in every season until I see Christ. Amen.


Day 20 – Grace in Our Weakness

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB): “And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”

Change exposes weakness, but grace is sufficient. Christ’s power shines when ours fails.

Poem: Grace Enough
Weakness humbles me.
Weakness exposes me.
Weakness frightens me.
Weakness breaks me.
But God gives grace.

Grace is sufficient.
Grace is steady.
Grace is strong.
Grace is faithful.
Grace is Christ.

His power perfects.
His power sustains.
His power strengthens.
His power upholds.
His power dwells.

I boast in weakness.
I glory in Christ.
I trust His grace.
I rest in His strength.
I live in His power.

Seasons may weaken me.
Life may strip me.
Change may expose me.
But grace remains.
Christ is enough.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for hiding my weakness. Teach me to boast in Christ.
Father, remind me that grace is always sufficient.
Holy Spirit, perfect Your strength in my weakness.
Let every change drive me to deeper dependence on Christ. Amen.

Day 21 – Speaking Faith in Change

2 Corinthians 4:13 (NASB): “But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written: ‘I believed, therefore I spoke,’ we also believe, therefore we also speak.”

Faith is not silent—it speaks even in changing times.

Poem: Faith Speaks
Faith believes.
Faith confesses.
Faith declares.
Faith testifies.
Faith speaks.

Change cannot silence it.
Fear cannot mute it.
Opposition cannot stop it.
Doubt cannot bury it.
Faith speaks.

Faith speaks of Christ.
Faith speaks of grace.
Faith speaks of hope.
Faith speaks of truth.
Faith speaks of life.

Faith speaks in weakness.
Faith speaks in trial.
Faith speaks in joy.
Faith speaks in loss.
Faith speaks in Christ.

I open my mouth.

I share His Word.
I glorify His Son.
I speak in faith.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for being silent when I should speak.
Father, give me boldness to declare Christ in every season.
Holy Spirit, put words of faith on my lips.
Let my voice glorify Jesus in times of change. Amen.


Day 22 – Endurance Through Testing

James 1:3 (NASB): “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.”

Change tests faith, but testing produces strength.

Poem: Faith Endures
Faith is tested.
Faith is pressed.
Faith is stretched.
Faith is tried.
Faith grows.

Endurance comes.
Endurance builds.
Endurance strengthens.
Endurance holds.
Endurance lasts.

The test is hard.
The trial is long.
The fire is hot.
The weight is heavy.
But God sustains.

Faith does not break.
Faith does not quit.
Faith does not die.
Faith does not lose.
Faith endures.

I rejoice.
I trust.
I persevere.
I worship.
I wait.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for resenting testing. Teach me to see its purpose.
Father, produce endurance in me through trial.
Holy Spirit, give me strength to hold steady under pressure.
Let my tested faith shine with Christ’s glory. Amen.


Day 23 – Faithful Prayer in Change

Mark 11:24 (NASB): “Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.”

Faith prays with trust, even in shifting seasons.

Poem: Prayer of Faith
Prayer asks.
Prayer believes.
Prayer trusts.
Prayer waits.
Prayer receives.

Faith prays boldly.
Faith prays simply.
Faith prays daily.
Faith prays hopefully.
Faith prays always.

Change does not silence prayer.

Change does not empty prayer.
Change deepens prayer.

God hears.
God answers.
God grants.
God provides.
God remains.

I pray.
I believe.
I trust.
I wait.
I rejoice.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me for praying without faith. Teach me to trust as I ask.
Father, remind me that You delight to answer the prayers of Your people.
Holy Spirit, keep me persistent in prayer when change unsettles me.
Let my prayers show that my trust is in the Lord. Amen.


Day 24 – Living by Faith

Galatians 2:20 (NASB): “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

Change reminds us that true life is not us but Christ living in us.

Poem: Christ in Me
I died with Christ.
I live in Christ.
I am His.
I am kept.
I am loved.

The old is gone.
The new has come.
The life is His.
The love is mine.
The hope is sure.

I live by faith.
I walk by faith.
I breathe by faith.
I act by faith.
I endure by faith.

Christ loved me.
Christ gave Himself.
Christ lives in me.
Christ keeps me.
Christ carries me.

I live for Him.
I walk in Him.
I rest in Him.
I serve Him.
I hope in Him.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for living in me. Forgive me for trying to live apart from You.
Father, keep me crucified with Christ so I may live by faith in Him.
Holy Spirit, help me walk daily in trust of the Son of God.
Let my life display Christ in every season of change. Amen.


Day 25 – Faith Working Through Love

Galatians 5:6 (NASB): “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.”

Faith shows itself in love. Seasons of change test whether faith is real by how it serves.

Poem: Faith and Love
Faith works.
Faith serves.
Faith loves.
Faith gives.
Faith endures.

Love proves faith.
Love shows faith.

Change grows love.

Faith works through love.

I serve.
I give.
I endure.
I live.

Prayer
Lord, forgive me when my faith is loveless. Teach me to serve in love.
Father, let faith be visible in how I love others.
Holy Spirit, pour God’s love into my heart so faith may work through it.
Let my love in changing seasons show that Christ is real in me. Amen.


Day 26 – Peace in Change

Philippians 4:6–7 (NASB): “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

Change breeds anxiety, but faith turns it into prayer and receives peace.

Day 27 – God’s Faithfulness Each Morning

Lamentations 3:22–23 (NASB): “The Lord’s acts of mercy indeed do not end, for His compassions do not fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Change can overwhelm us, but every morning God renews His mercy.

Poem: Morning Mercy
Mercy never ends.
Mercy never fails.
Mercy never fades.
Mercy never stops.
Mercy remains.

Hebrews 10:23 (NASB): “Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

Faith holds tight to hope, because God is faithful.

Hebrews 12:1 (NASB): “Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us.”

Life is a race of faith. Change calls us to lay aside hindrances and keep running.

Poem: Running the Race
Lay aside weight.
Lay aside sin.
Lay aside shame.
Lay aside fear.
Lay aside pride.

Run with endurance.
Run with faith.
Run with joy.
Run with hope.
Run with Christ.

Witnesses cheer.
Saints testify.

God strengthens.

The path is hard.
The road is long.
The course is rough.

Every season of change points us forward to the one unchanging hope—Christ’s return.

The days pass.
The seasons move.
The years fade.
But hope remains.

Hope looks forward.
Hope looks higher.

He will appear.
He will reign.
He will shine.
He will restore.
He will come.

Pain will cease.
Loss will stop.
Tears will dry.
Christ will rule.

I wait in hope.

Holy Spirit, keep my heart watchful and longing for the return of Christ. Strengthen me to endure with joy until that day.
Lord, let every season of my life prepare me for the season that never ends—eternal life with You. Amen.
