Today, I want to spend our time praying for our adult children. As parents, our prayers are important because they allow us to support our children through life's challenges, help them grow in their faith, and surrender our parental anxieties to God's care.

The parental role shifts as children become adults, but the concern for our children’s well-being remains. Prayer is a powerful, active way to continue supporting our children when you can't "fix" their problems or make decisions for them.

Our adult children may face complex decisions regarding careers, relationships, and major life choices. Our prayers can help them develop wisdom and discernment to navigate these choices according to God's will.

This world presents many negative and destructive influences. Our prayers provide a spiritual "protective shield," asking God to help our children to resist temptation, grow in their knowledge of Him, and develop a strong, personal faith.

There are seasons in life when everything feels unclear. The road ahead feels uncertain, and even the next step feels like a guess. You’re doing your best to keep going—checking the boxes, showing up, holding it together—but inside, you’re tired. Not just physically, but soul-deep weary. The kind of tired that sleep does not fix.

It’s in these foggy places—where clarity fades and burnout creeps in—And when visibility is low, God invites us to trust differently. Not with part of our heart, not with a backup plan in our pocket, but to trust Him with all of our heart. God doesn’t tell us to figure it all out. He simply asks us to lean on Him.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 (NLT)

This episode is for the one who’s walking through the fog. For the one who’s questioning, doubting, or just plain worn out. It’s a reminder that God doesn’t abandon us in the haze—He walks with us through it. And when we can’t see the way, He becomes the way.

So let’s take a deep breath, quiet the noise, and listen for the whisper that changes everything and says, “You are not alone.”

Today, we’re diving into the core of the gospel. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, ashamed, or stuck in guilt—this message is for you.

Let’s begin with Romans 3:23-24, which states, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.”

The reality is that “everyone” has sinned (that includes you, myself, our friends, and yes, even our pastors have sinned)…this is not a condemnation, but a universal truth. We ALL fall short in some area of our lives. We may experience pride, selfishness, bitterness, fear, addiction, or the temptation of comparison.

But sin isn’t just a list of wrong behaviors—it’s a condition of the heart. It’s the fracture in our relationship with God, the distortion of His image in us. “Sin isn’t just what we do—it’s what separates us from the One who made us.”

Let’s look at the metaphor of a broken, shattered mirror to help us grasp this truth in a deeply visual and personal way.

Just as a mirror is designed to reflect light, we were created to reflect the glory of God—His love, His holiness, and His truth.

Genesis 1:27 states, “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

My friend, we were made in His image, God’s image. That means we were meant to shine with His character, to be living reflections of His goodness in the world.

But sin—whether pride, envy, lust, bitterness, or unbelief—cracks the mirror and distorts the reflection. We may try to piece the mirror (which is ourselves) back together with effort, religion, or self-help, but the shards of brokenness may cut deeper, and the cracks remain.

The light of God still shines, but the reflection is distorted. Instead of clarity, there’s confusion. Instead of beauty, there’s brokenness. And no matter how hard we try to fix ourselves, we can’t restore the cracked mirror on our own.

And guess what, a broken mirror doesn’t just fail to reflect fully—it can even block the light. And that’s what sin does. It separates us from God’s presence, leaving us in a spiritual shadow. In our sin, we feel the ache of that separation in guilt, shame, restlessness, and the longing for something more.

But praise God, who is our master restorer, for His generous Grace. God doesn’t discard broken mirrors. He redeems them. The key scripture that declares we are made new in Christ is 2 Corinthians 5:17, “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

This verse beautifully captures the transformative power of salvation. When we place our faith in Jesus, we don’t just get a fresh start—we become a new creation. Our identity shifts from broken to redeemed, from guilty to forgiven, from lost to found.
