Transitions often bring a mix of joy and grief. When we release something precious—a child leaving home, a season ending, or a chapter closing—it’s natural to feel empty or unsettled. Yet God, in His compassion, promises new mercies every morning and fresh blessings for every season.

In today’s prayer devotional, Keri Eichberger reflects on the bittersweet milestone of sending her son off to college and invites us to redirect our hearts toward God’s unfailing love. Even when grief lingers, His compassions never fail, and His unfailing love leads us into a future filled with purpose and joy.

Main Takeaways

• Transition often brings loss, but it also ushers in new opportunities for growth and joy.

• God’s mercies are new every morning—He continually provides compassion, strength, and blessing.

• Looking forward in faith helps us release the past while embracing the future God has prepared.

• Cherished memories remain gifts of joy even as God leads us into new seasons.

The first day of school is filled with excitement, nerves, and lots of “firsts.” For children, this can be a time of joy and wonder, but also of jitters and uncertainty. For parents, it’s an invitation to lift their children to the Lord in prayer—asking for His protection, wisdom, and presence as they step into a new year.

In today’s devotional, Lynette Kittle reminds us that while public prayer in schools has been limited, no one can stop us from praying for our children. Whether they are just beginning kindergarten or navigating high school hallways, we can stand in the gap, asking God to guard their hearts, guide their steps, and let His Word be a lamp to their feet.

Main Takeaways

• God calls parents and caregivers to pray over children as they learn, grow, and face new challenges.

• No laws or cultural changes can silence prayer—God always hears us.

• Scripture reminds us that His Word lights our children’s path and anchors their hearts in truth.

• Praying over our children equips them spiritually as much as new backpacks and pencils prepare them physically.

Bible Verse References

• Matthew 19:14 – Jesus welcomes the little children.

• Psalm 119:11 – Hiding God’s Word in our hearts.

• Lamentations 2:19 – Pour out your heart for your children before the Lord.

• Psalm 119:105 – God’s Word as a lamp and light.

Have you ever wondered if you’ve pushed God too far, if His love for you could ever run out? Maybe you’ve walked through a season of loss, made mistakes you feel are too big to forgive, or questioned whether God really cares about your pain.

In today’s devotional, Rachel Wojo, host of Untangling Prayer, reminds us of the unshakable truth found in Romans 8:35-39 — that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Not our past mistakes, not our present struggles, not even our doubts. God’s love is unbreakable, unchanging, and relentless.

Main Takeaways

• God’s love is not dependent on your performance, feelings, or circumstances.

• Paul declares with absolute certainty that nothing—life, death, angels, demons, fears, failures—can separate us from His love.

• When we’re tempted to believe otherwise, we must anchor our hearts in God’s Word, not our emotions.

• God’s love is pursuing you right now—stronger than your doubts and greater than your fears.

Bible Verse References

• Romans 8:35-39 – Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

• Ephesians 3:18-19 – To grasp how wide, long, high, and deep is the love of Christ.
