Scripture: “Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs.” – Ephesians 4:29

The power of words is immeasurable. We all know the sting of a harsh comment or the comfort of a kind word. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to use our words as instruments of encouragement. In Ephesians 4:29, Paul is giving us a clear directive: let our speech be “helpful for building others up.” This means that each word we speak should serve to strengthen, uplift, and support those around us, not tear them down.

It’s easy to fall into the habit of complaining, criticizing, or speaking out of frustration, but when we do, we miss the opportunity to be agents of grace. The words we speak should reflect the heart of God; His words are always life-giving, full of hope, and always in pursuit of our good.

Sometimes, we overlook how people need to hear affirming words—words that remind them they are not alone, they are seen, and they are loved. Whether it’s a colleague, a friend, or a family member, each person we encounter is carrying burdens we may not see. But God knows, and He has equipped us to speak life into those situations.

Challenge: Reach out to someone you know who might be struggling or feeling down. Send them an encouraging message or give them a call with words of hope.

Scripture: “For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”

2 Corinthians 1:20

As believers, we are often called to walk by faith, trusting in God even when the path ahead is unclear. When life gets challenging, it’s easy to forget that God has made countless promises to us. 2 Corinthians 1:20 reminds us that all of God’s promises are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. And these promises are guaranteed—"Yes" and "Amen" in Him.

These words, "Yes" and "Amen," are powerful declarations. "Yes" means that God's promises are not conditional on anything we do, but rooted in His faithfulness. And "Amen" means that those promises are sealed and unchanging in Christ. When we place our faith in Jesus, we are claiming the entirety of God's promises for ourselves, and His glory is reflected through our trust in Him.

His promises are eternal and dependable. He promises us peace that passes understanding, strength in our weakness, provision in times of need, and a future full of hope. And above all, He promises His presence—He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Reflecting on these promises is about allowing them to change how we live. The promises of God give us confidence in trials, hope in hopelessness, and peace in our anxiety. We are not walking this journey alone; God’s promises are with us every step of the way.

Challenge: Spend time today reflecting on God’s promises in your life. Write down at least three promises from Scripture that give you hope and share them with someone.

Scripture: “Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” – James 5:16

There is power in prayer, especially when we come together to pray for one another. James 5:16 reminds us that prayer is both a personal and communal practice. When someone is struggling, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually, we are called to lift them up in prayer—not just praying for them but praying with them. James tells us that when we pray for each other, we open the door for healing.

It's important to remember that prayer isn't just about asking God to fix a situation; it's about aligning our hearts with His, seeking His will, and trusting that He will intervene in ways that bring glory to His name and good to His people. When we pray for someone in need, we acknowledge that we are not self-sufficient and that God alone holds the power to heal, restore, and bring peace.

Perhaps today, you know someone struggling—someone battling illness, brokenness, or discouragement. Maybe it's a friend facing a difficult season or a loved one feeling lost. God calls us to intercede for them, to step into the gap and bring their burdens before Him. Prayer doesn’t just change circumstances; it changes us as we reflect God’s love, mercy, and care for those around us.

As we pray, let’s remember that healing takes many forms. Sometimes, healing comes physically, and other times, it comes emotionally or spiritually. Sometimes, it’s the healing of relationships or the peace that surpasses understanding in the midst of trials. But God hears every prayer and He promises to answer according to His will.

Challenge: Think of someone who needs hope or healing (physically, emotionally, or spiritually). Take time today to pray for them and ask God to restore their hope.

Scripture: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Have you ever faced a time when everything felt too much to bear, and yet, in the midst of it, you experienced God's comfort? It could have been during a personal loss, a period of uncertainty, or a challenging season of life. When we reflect on these moments, we often recognize that God was right there with us, offering His compassion and comfort, even when we didn't realize it at the time.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us of this truth: God doesn’t comfort us just for our own sake, but so that we can share that same comfort with others. Our experiences of God’s faithfulness in difficult times become powerful testimonies of hope. They reveal that even in the darkest moments, God is there, offering His peace, strength, and grace.

When we experience God's comfort, it's not just meant to be kept to ourselves—it becomes a tool to help others. Our stories of hope, born from hardship, can offer encouragement to those who are struggling. They show that God's presence and peace are real and available, no matter the pain someone is enduring. Our testimonies remind us that, through God's comfort, we can find the strength to move forward and help others find the same peace we’ve received.

Your story of hope may look different from someone else’s, but it’s just as powerful. Whether it’s a journey of overcoming fear, healing from past wounds, or witnessing God’s provision in times of need, your story can be the encouragement someone else needs to keep going. It can help others trust God’s faithfulness and find the comfort that only He can provide.

Challenge: Share a personal testimony or a story from Scripture with someone about a time when you or others experienced God’s hope in a difficult situation.

Scripture: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” – Luke 6:31

Our world often feels chaotic and fast-paced, so a simple act of kindness can make a difference. Jesus’ words in Luke 6:31, “Do to others as you would have them do to you,” remind us that the way we treat others matters deeply. This golden rule isn't just about how we respond when others show us kindness; it’s about actively choosing to sow kindness into the world around us.

Kindness can be as simple as holding the door for someone, offering a word of encouragement, or even paying for someone’s coffee. It’s not about the size of the gesture, but the intention behind it. When we extend kindness, we reflect the heart of God, whose love and grace are endless.

Imagine how powerful it could be if we, as believers, intentionally performed random acts of kindness every day. Maybe you’ll send a text to someone to encourage them, help a neighbor with their groceries, or smile at a stranger who might be having a hard day. These small acts can be just the touch someone needs to feel seen, loved, and valued.

Challenge: Perform an act of random kindness today without expecting anything in return. It could be as simple as paying for someone’s coffee or helping a neighbor with their groceries.

Scripture: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16

In a time when the digital world is such an integral part of our lives, the opportunities to share our faith and spread hope have expanded in ways that were once unimaginable. We can reach people across the world in seconds with a simple post, comment, or message. But how often do we think about the influence we have in these spaces? In Matthew 5:16, Jesus calls us to let our light shine, not for our own recognition, but so that others might see our good deeds and glorify God.

When we take this call into the online world, it challenges us to reflect God's love, grace, and hope in every interaction, post, and conversation we engage in. Our digital presence—whether on social media, blogs, or even in messages to friends—can be a powerful tool for spreading hope and encouragement. Every like, share, and comment can become a chance to uplift someone, point them toward God’s love, or encourage them in their faith.

It’s easy for negativity and division to dominate online spaces. But as Christians, we are called to be different. Instead of engaging in arguments or sharing negativity, we can choose to spread peace, love, and hope. A simple scripture shared, a word of encouragement, or a thoughtful prayer can stand out as a beacon of light in a dark and weary world.

Challenge: Post a Scripture, an inspiring quote, or a personal message of hope on social media to encourage others who may be feeling discouraged.

Scripture: “The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” – Proverbs 11:25

Encouragement is one of the simplest yet most powerful gifts we can offer to others. It costs us nothing but can change someone’s entire day, and sometimes, even their entire outlook on life. In Proverbs 11:25, we’re reminded that when we refresh others, we too are refreshed. This is the beautiful cycle of generosity—when we encourage and bless others, it not only impacts their lives but fills our own hearts with joy and peace.

Encouraging a stranger might seem like a small thing, but it can have an immeasurable impact. Maybe it's a smile, a compliment, or a kind word to someone you don’t know. It could be offering a moment of time to listen to someone who is having a difficult day. The person you encourage may be facing struggles that you’re unaware of, and your simple act of kindness could be the one thing that lifts them out of despair.

Encouragement has a ripple effect. When you encourage a stranger, you refresh their spirit, and in return, you will find your own spirit refreshed. It’s not always about expecting something in return but knowing that, as we live out God’s love through our words and actions, we align ourselves with His heart for the world.

Challenge: Take a moment today to offer a kind word to someone you don’t know. Whether it’s a compliment or a simple greeting, make someone’s day brighter.

Scripture: “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.” – James 1:17

When we think about giving, we often focus on material things—gifts wrapped in pretty paper or presents that fit a specific occasion. But God’s perspective on giving goes beyond the physical. The gifts we give should be a reflection of the love, grace, and hope we’ve received from Him.

James 1:17 reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from above—from the Father of lights. This truth tells us that all the gifts we give, no matter how big or small, can be infused with the hope and joy that comes from God. Gifts aren’t just items; they are expressions of love, encouragement, and care. When we give, we reflect God's generosity and His unending grace.

A hope-filled gift doesn’t necessarily have to be a tangible item. It could be a thoughtful note, a prayer, or an act of kindness that brightens someone’s day. A hope-filled gift is something that encourages the recipient and reminds them that they are loved by God. Perhaps it’s a reminder of a promise from Scripture, a word of affirmation, or even a small gift that has personal meaning to someone.

In times of uncertainty or hardship, a hope-filled gift can be a powerful way to remind others of God’s goodness and faithfulness. It’s not about the gift itself but the heart behind it. God has given us everything we need—His love, His grace, and His hope—and we are invited to pass that on to others.

Challenge: Gift a book, card, or something meaningful to someone with a note that reminds them of God’s unending hope.

Scripture: “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7

We all face moments when life feels heavy, when the weight of our worries, doubts, and fears threatens to overwhelm us. The pressures of our daily life, personal struggles, or the weight of the unknown, it’s easy to become consumed by feelings of hopelessness. In these moments, we can often feel like we’re carrying a burden alone, and it’s even worse if you feel like the future seems uncertain. But in 1 Peter 5:7, we are given a beautiful invitation: “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

This verse reminds us that God is not distant or indifferent to our struggles. He cares for us, and He wants us to bring our worries and burdens to Him. The act of "casting" our anxiety on God is about releasing them into His hands, trusting that He is capable of handling them far better than we can.

Hopelessness often comes when we hold onto our struggles too tightly, believing that we have to figure everything out on our own. God has already made a way for us through Jesus Christ. When we confess our feelings of hopelessness and surrender them to Him, we allow God's peace to flood our hearts, even during our chaos. We don’t have to carry the weight of hopelessness alone—God promises to carry it for us.

Challenge: Take time today to bring any areas of your life where you’re feeling hopeless to God in prayer. Release them to Him and ask for renewed hope.

Scripture: “Encourage one another and build each other up.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11

In a world where we are constantly connected, it can be easy to forget the simple yet profound power of a handwritten note or a personal letter. Yet, there is something deeply meaningful in taking the time to write words of encouragement. In 1 Thessalonians 5:11, we are reminded of the importance of encouraging one another and building each other up. Sometimes, a letter of hope can be the exact thing someone needs to hear—a reminder that they are not alone, that they are loved, and that God is with them in every season.

When we take the time to write a letter of hope, we are actively participating in God's call to build others up. Our words can be an extension of God's love, grace, and peace. Think about someone in your life who may be struggling—perhaps a friend going through a tough time, a family member facing uncertainty, or someone who has been feeling isolated. A thoughtful letter can bring light into their darkness, just as God’s Word brings light into our hearts.

A letter doesn’t need to be long or elaborate. It could be as simple as a few lines of encouragement or a Scripture that has spoken to your heart. It’s not about perfection; it’s about being genuine and sharing what God has placed on your heart. In doing so, you remind the recipient that they are not forgotten, that they are valued, and that God's promises are true for them too.

Challenge: Write a letter or email to a friend, family member, or church member, sharing how God has brought hope into your life and encouraging them to trust in Him.

Scripture: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure.” – Psalm 122:6

There is a deep call for believers to intercede on behalf of their communities, to lift them up in prayer and seek God's peace over their lives. Psalm 122:6 gives us a clear directive: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” While this refers to the literal city of Jerusalem, it also symbolizes the peace and security that all communities need to thrive. This is a call for us to pray not just for our immediate surroundings but for the wider community of believers and the places we live, work, and serve.

In times of uncertainty, division, or hardship, we can often forget the power of prayer. Yet, it’s through prayer that we invite God into the hearts and homes of those around us. God is our protector, our provider, and our peace, and when we pray for the well-being of our communities, we are asking God to cover every aspect—physical, emotional, and spiritual. We are seeking His guidance, healing, and grace over the people around us, believing that through prayer, peace can be established.

When we pray for our communities, we are also praying for the relationships and connections that are formed there. We pray for peace in our homes, in our schools, in our workplaces, and even within the larger society. Whether your community is struggling with division, injustice, or despair, God has the power to heal and restore it. And when we pray, we invite His intervention.

Challenge: Pray for those in your community who may be struggling. Pray for unity, peace, and hope to spread through your neighborhood, workplace, or church.

Scripture: “The greatest among you will be your servant.” – Matthew 23:11

In a world that often values power, influence, and success, Jesus flips the script. In Matthew 23:11, He teaches us that true greatness is not measured by how much we can accumulate or the positions we hold, but by how much we serve others. “The greatest among you will be your servant.” These words are a profound reminder that Jesus Himself came not to be served, but to serve. His life was the perfect example of humility, kindness, and selfless love. He healed the sick, comforted the broken-hearted, washed His disciples' feet, and ultimately gave His life for us all.

Serving others may not always come with recognition or accolades, but it holds incredible value in God’s eyes. When we choose to serve, whether through a simple act of kindness or by going out of our way to help someone in need, we reflect the heart of Christ. Serving others doesn’t require grand gestures; it can be as simple as making a meal for someone, helping a neighbor with their groceries, or listening to a friend who needs encouragement.

Serving someone today is about putting someone else’s needs above our own, even in the small, everyday moments. Sometimes, the most meaningful service comes when we least expect it. It’s in those acts that we show God’s love in practical, tangible ways. Jesus taught us that when we serve, we are ultimately serving Him.

Challenge: Offer to help someone who might be going through a tough time—whether that’s running errands for them, making them a meal, or simply listening.

Scripture: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” – Hebrews 6:19

You ever have those days where life just feels off? Like nothing’s going right, and you’re being tossed around by everything—stress, anxiety, change, doubt… all of it. It’s exhausting. And in those moments, I think we all just want something solid. Something we can hold onto when everything feels shaky.

Hebrews 6:19 says, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” And that verse? It hits different when life feels unstable.

This kind of hope isn’t just a “I hope everything turns out okay” kind of thing. It’s deeper than that. It’s knowing that even when life is messy, God’s got us. It’s a confidence that we’re not drifting aimlessly—that there’s an anchor holding us steady. That anchor is Jesus. His love, His promises, His presence. Unshakable.

And I love that it says firm and secure. Not maybe. Not only when things are good. But always. Even when you're doubting. Even when you’re tired. Even when you feel like you're barely hanging on.

So if you're going through something right now, just breathe. You’re not alone in the storm. You’ve got an anchor. And that hope? It’s holding you together, even if it doesn’t always feel like it. God’s not going anywhere.

Hold on to that.

Challenge: Spend time speaking aloud God’s promises of hope over your own life. Proclaim them with confidence and faith, believing that He will fulfill them.

Scripture: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” – Mark 16:15

As followers of Christ, we have been given the great commission to share the gospel with the world. In Mark 16:15, Jesus commands us to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." This is a call to spread the message of God’s love, grace, and salvation to everyone we meet. But sometimes, sharing the gospel doesn’t have to be a grand, sweeping speech. It can begin with a simple invitation.

Inviting someone to church, a Bible study, or a Christian event might seem like a small act, but it can be a life-changing moment for someone. Many people are open to hearing about Jesus, but they may not know where to start. A personal invitation can be the first step toward them encountering God in a powerful way. It’s a chance to bring someone into a community where they can experience love, hope, and truth in ways that may be new to them.

Think about the people in your life who may not know Jesus or who may be searching for hope. This could be a friend, a colleague, a neighbor, or even someone you cross paths with regularly. Sometimes, all it takes is an invitation to show them that you care about their spiritual journey. You never know how God will use that simple step of faith to plant seeds in their hearts.

Challenge: Invite someone to church or a faith-based event as an opportunity for them to experience the hope of Christ.

Scripture: “Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

Life moves fast, doesn’t it? There’s always something demanding our attention—work, texts, emails, responsibilities. It can feel like we’re constantly running, with barely a moment to catch our breath.

But then comes this gentle reminder from Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” It’s like God is whispering, “Slow down. I’m here.”

Stillness can feel unfamiliar, even uncomfortable. But it’s in those quiet moments that we’re reminded of something deeper—God is present, even in the chaos. He’s not asking us to have all the right words or to fix everything before coming to Him. He just wants us. Our time. Our presence.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply stop and sit with God. No pressure. No performance. Just being with Him, letting Him remind us that He’s in control—and we’re not alone.

So today, even if it’s just for a minute, find a quiet spot. Breathe. Be still. Let Him meet you there.

Challenge: Find a quiet place to sit in stillness and invite God to speak to your heart. Listen for His voice and allow His peace and hope to fill you.

Scripture: “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encourage one another.” – Hebrews 10:25

Life gets busy, and it’s so easy to lose touch with people we care about. Whether it’s an old friend, family, or someone we used to see all the time, time and hectic schedules can create distance without us even realizing it. But Hebrews 10:25 reminds us how important it is to stay connected: "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encourage one another."

God created us to be in relationships—not just with Him, but with each other. When we lose contact with people, we miss out on the chance to encourage them and be encouraged ourselves. Reaching out, even in a small way, can remind someone of God's love and grace. Just like God always reaches out to us, He calls us to do the same for others—offering a word of encouragement, reconnecting, and building each other up in faith.

It might seem like a small thing, but even sending a text, making a quick call, or setting up a time to catch up can make a huge difference. You never know, your simple reach-out could be exactly what someone needs to feel noticed, appreciated, and supported.

Challenge: Send a message or call someone you haven’t connected with in a while. Rebuild a bridge of friendship and offer hope in their life.

Scripture: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him.” – Romans 15:13

Life has a way of throwing curveballs—stress, uncertainty, personal struggles, and those moments when everything feels just a bit too much. In times like these, hope can seem like a distant concept. But Romans 15:13 brings us back to a powerful truth: our hope isn’t anchored in our ever-changing circumstances but in an unchanging God.

This verse reminds us that God is not just a source of hope—He is the God of hope. And when we choose to trust Him, He fills us—not just a little, but fully—with joy and peace. This isn’t a surface-level calm; it’s a deep, soul-sustaining peace that stays steady, even when life feels shaky.

Trusting God doesn’t mean we won’t face hard times. But it does mean we don’t face them alone. God is present, active, and always at work within us. And as we lean into that trust, something beautiful happens: His joy and peace begin to overflow in our lives, becoming a beacon of hope for others too.

So today, no matter what you’re walking through, hold on to this truth—God is the God of hope, and He is ready to fill you with His peace and joy as you put your trust in Him.

Challenge: Read a Bible passage of hope (like Romans 15:13 or Isaiah 40:31) and meditate on it throughout the day. Write down how it speaks to your current situation.

Scripture: “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Life isn’t always easy. There are days when the weight we carry feels too heavy, and we wonder if anyone notices. But the truth is, we were never meant to do this alone. In 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Paul reminds us of something simple but powerful: “Encourage one another and build each other up.”

God designed us for community. He calls us to be encouragers—people who lift each other up with kindness, compassion, and truth. Encouragement doesn’t always need to be big or elaborate. Sometimes, it's a sincere word, a short prayer, or just showing up and saying, “I’m here.” Those small gestures can spark hope and remind someone they’re seen and loved.

When we take time to encourage someone, we’re not just offering support—we’re pointing them back to God’s promises. We’re helping them remember that they’re not alone, that God is still in control, and that He’s working even in the hard moments.

So today, look around. Is there someone who needs a word of hope? A reminder that they matter? Let’s be intentional with our words and actions, and build each other up in love. Because together, we grow stronger in faith—and together, we reflect the heart of Christ.

Challenge: Reach out to a friend in your church or small group and encourage them with words of affirmation, support, and hope.

Scripture: “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope.” – Lamentations 3:21

In times of uncertainty or struggle, it’s easy for hope to feel distant. The burdens of daily life can often cloud our vision, leaving us overwhelmed by our circumstances. Yet, in Lamentations 3:21, we find a powerful reminder: “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope.” The prophet Jeremiah, who wrote these words, was living through one of the most difficult times in Israel's history. Despite the devastation and suffering around him, he chose to reflect on God’s faithfulness, which became the anchor for his hope.

This verse highlights the importance of intentionally remembering God’s goodness. Hope isn’t always something we feel instantly—it often comes when we choose to remember and reflect on what God has already done. It’s an act of the mind and heart, where we intentionally call to mind God's past faithfulness, His promises, and His unfailing love.

One way to cultivate this hope is through journaling. Writing down our thoughts, prayers, and reflections can help us process our emotions and deepen our relationship with God. When we journal our hope, we create a space to look back on how God has worked in our lives, both in the past and present. We can recount His promises, His provision, and His presence. This act of reflecting on what we know to be true can revive our spirit and renew our trust in God’s plans for us.

Challenge: Take some time to journal where you see God’s hope in your life right now. Write about moments you’ve seen Him at work and thank Him for His faithfulness.

Scripture: “You are the light of the world.” – Matthew 5:14

As followers of Christ, we are called to be a source of light in a world that is often masked in darkness. In Matthew 5:14, Jesus tells us plainly, “You are the light of the world.” He doesn’t say we might be or could be, but that we are the light. This is a weighty calling—a declaration of our identity as His children.

What does it mean to be light? Light dispels darkness. It illuminates paths, reveals truth, and offers warmth. In the same way, our lives are meant to shine the light of Christ to those around us. We are not to hide our light, but to let it shine brightly so that others can see the goodness of God through us.

When you live with Christ in your heart, your very presence can make a difference. Whether it's a word of kindness to a struggling friend, standing firm in your faith when others are wavering, or showing love and grace to those who are hard to love—these actions reflect the light of Jesus. Our light doesn't come from ourselves, but from Him. It’s His love, His truth, and His grace that we share with the world.

While the world is full of confusion, pain, and uncertainty and people are searching for hope, the light of Christ in us can point them to the One who is the true source of all light. As we live out our faith, we become beacons of hope and love to others. Our light is meant to draw others to Jesus, not to shine for our own glory but for His.

Challenge: Look for ways to be a source of positivity in your daily interactions. Smile at people, be kind, and offer words that bring encouragement and hope.

Scripture: “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” – 2 Peter 3:9

One of the most beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking truths is that God’s heart is for everyone to be saved. He doesn’t want anyone to miss out on His love, and His patience is rooted in His desire for everyone to come to repentance. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or neighbor—God’s heart beats for those who don’t know Him yet, or who may be walking through life without His grace.

I know it can be tough when we look around and see the people we care about still far from God. We might wonder why things aren’t moving faster, why God doesn’t seem to act more quickly. But Peter reminds us that God’s timing isn’t about being slow—it’s about His mercy. He’s giving more time for hearts to soften, for lives to be changed, and for people to turn to Him.

As believers, we’re called to be part of that mission—to reach out to the lost and share the hope we’ve found in Christ. Yes, there’s an urgency to spread the gospel, but we’re also called to pray. Our prayers can be powerful, helping open hearts and minds to the love and truth of Jesus.

Think about those in your life who may not know Christ yet—maybe a loved one, a coworker, or even someone you meet in passing. Your prayers can make all the difference.

Challenge: Spend time today praying for the lost. Ask God to open their hearts to the gospel and bring them into His hope and salvation.
