The Lord is My Strength: Finding Peace in His Power

Verse of the Day:

 "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me." – Psalm 28:7 (NIV)


When Your Strength Runs Out

We’ve all had days when it feels like the weight of the world is pressing on our shoulders — the bills are piling up, relationships feel strained, or the future looks uncertain. In those moments, it’s easy to think, “I just need to be stronger.”

But what if the solution isn’t about being stronger on our own, but about resting in God’s strength?

Psalm 28:7 reminds us of two powerful truths:

God is our strength – giving us the ability to keep going even when we feel like giving up.

God is our shield – protecting our hearts from the enemy’s lies and from fear that can paralyze us.


When our hearts trust in Him, He doesn’t just help us survive; He helps us thrive with peace and joy in the middle of the storm.

Learning to Lean on Him

Sometimes, we treat God’s strength like an emergency backup plan — we only call on Him when we’ve reached our limit. But His invitation is to walk in His strength daily, even on the good days.

This means:

Starting the day with prayer instead of worry.

Reminding ourselves of His promises before the pressures of life hit.

Trusting His protection over our lives instead of living in fear of “what ifs.”


When we lean on His power, we discover a peace that doesn’t depend on circumstances.

A Prayer for Today

Lord, thank You for being my strength when I feel weak. Teach me to rely on Your power and not my own. Guard my heart with Your peace today. Amen.

This 5-Minute Morning Habit Will Transform Your Entire Day

Mornings can be the hardest part of the day. The alarm rings, the kids are up, breakfast needs to be made — and before you know it, you’ve already poured yourself into everyone else but forgot to fill your own cup. But what if I told you that just 5 minutes with God every morning could change how you feel, think, and act for the rest of the day? Many moms want to start their day with God but… We feel too busy. We think we need a full 30-minute devotion to make it count. We get distracted before we even open our Bible. The truth? God can meet you in just 5 focused minutes — and those minutes can set the tone for everything that follows. Here’s how to do it: 1. Start with a Deep Breath and Gratitude (1 minute) Close your eyes. Whisper “Thank You, Lord, for this new day.” List 3 things you’re grateful for. 2. Read One Verse Slowly (2 minutes) Choose a short, powerful verse. For example: Psalm 118:24 – “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it...
