Believe with me November 8, 2026 Jesus didn’t say, “Repeat after me, and I’ll see you when you die.” He said, “Follow me.” The gospel is the announcement that Jesus Christ is Lord. The promised King came, died for our sins, was buried, rose from the dead, and reigns today. That news calls for a response. Repent. Turn from your sin. You’ve been running your own life. It’s not working out so well, is it? Believe. Put your trust in Jesus, in who he is and what he accomplished through his death and resurrection. Be baptized. Publicly identify with him. Become part of his people and learn to walk in his ways. Can that begin with a prayer? Absolutely. Call on him. Ask for mercy. But understand who you’re calling on. He’s the risen Lord, and his invitation is to follow him with your whole life. You don’t earn his grace by getting your act together. You come because you need his grace, and that grace begins changing you. Your money. Your mouth. Your relationships. How you treat people when you’re tired, angry, or convinced you’re right. He can help with all of that. And when you stumble, you return to the Savior whose mercy brought you here in the first place. The King who calls you to surrender is the King who gave himself to save you. He’s worthy of your trust. Follow him.

Pray with me November 7, 2026 Heavenly Father, Thank You for another morning. Before we focus on our phones or start carrying the weight of the day, help us remember that every breath is a gift from You. Your mercies are new this morning. We come to You through Jesus, grateful that we can bring You our whole lives, including the parts we’re still struggling to surrender. You know what’s waiting for us today. Give us wisdom for the decisions ahead and patience when things don’t go according to plan. Where we’ve been anxious, help us bring our concerns to You and trust Your care. Keep us from being so occupied with what comes next that we overlook the person in front of us. Help us listen carefully, speak graciously, and do the good we already know to do. Father, we place this day in Your hands. Make us faithful with the life You’ve given us beginning right now. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

And just like that, the agenda is out in the open. Ready for it folks? Two years of investigations, Satan worship and sharing this country with emboldened LGBTQ mafia members who celebrate the assassinations of young American fathers. Our nation needs to repent.

Pray with me (The Book of James) November 6, 2026 Father, You are the giver of every good and perfect gift, the One who never changes. Give us an undivided heart that trusts Your goodness in every season. When trials come, teach us to count them as joy because You are producing steadfastness in us. Let endurance finish its work. When we lack wisdom, help us ask You in faith. When temptation comes, keep us from blaming You. Expose the desires that draw us away, and strengthen us to obey. Make us quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Help us receive Your Word with humility and become doers of it. Keep us from hearing truth while refusing to let it change us. Deliver us from favoritism. Teach us to honor the poor, welcome the overlooked, care for orphans and widows, and love our neighbors as ourselves. Let our faith bear fruit through mercy, generosity, and obedience. May we never offer empty words where You have given us the means to help. Father, tame our tongues. Forgive us for blessing You while wounding people made in Your likeness. Put a guard over our mouths, and let our words bring truth, healing, and peace. Give us wisdom from above, pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruit. Uproot jealousy, selfish ambition, and the pride that turns our desires into quarrels. We submit ourselves to You. Help us resist the devil and draw near to You. Cleanse our hands, purify our hearts, and teach us to grieve our sin without running from Your grace. You give more grace. Humble us before You, and lift us up in Your time. Keep us from slandering others and speaking as though we sit in Your judgment seat. Remind us that our lives are a mist. Teach us to hold our plans with open hands and say sincerely, “If the Lord wills.” Give us courage to do the good we already know to do. Protect us from trusting wealth or gaining comfort at another person’s expense. Make us honest in our dealings, generous with our resources, and faithful to those who depend on us. As we wait for the coming of our Lord, establish our hearts. Keep us patient in suffering and free from grumbling against one another. Remind us of Your compassion and mercy when we cannot understand what You are doing. When we suffer, turn us toward prayer. When we rejoice, fill our mouths with praise. When we are sick, help us seek prayer from the elders and trust Your care. Give us humility to confess our sins and faithfulness to pray for one another. And when someone wanders from the truth, give us the love to pursue them and the gentleness to help bring them home. Father, let the faith we profess become visible in the lives we live. Make us steadfast, merciful, prayerful, and whole, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. In His mighty name, amen.
