Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for January 24, 2026

This daily Christian devotion centers on Psalm 41:4–6 (ESV), where David models a prayer of honest confession and deep trust in God’s grace. Rather than beginning with the sins of others, David cries out, “O Lord, be gracious to me,” recognizing that true healing starts with forgiveness of sin. This Christ-centered Lutheran devotion explores the pain of false friends, hidden malice, and insincere words, while pointing to the greater mercy found in Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and healed our souls through His wounds. Even when repentance does not remove suffering or betrayal, God’s grace remains sure. This meditation offers comfort for wounded consciences and encouragement to return daily to the Lord’s mercy. Ideal for those seeking LCMS teaching, biblical repentance, and confidence in Christ’s forgiveness.
