Prayers for the Unborn: A Christian Call to Protect Life

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Today, my heart has been heavy—aching for every precious, unborn life that has been lost to abortion and aching for every woman facing that painful decision. I can’t shake it; God has given me a burden to pray, to grieve, to intercede… yet I’m also filled with compassion, questions, and the longing to truly reach out in love.

I keep coming back to Psalm 139:13–14: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” The weight of those words brings tears—life is first breathed in–not created in–the womb. Every heartbeat, every fingerprint, every unseen cell is woven into being by the Master Creator.

And I believe in this truth more than anything: Life is sacred because God made it. Christians oppose abortion not out of condemnation, but out of reverence for the Creator and compassion for women made in His image.

But what does that look like, practically, in the middle of an unplanned pregnancy? In the confusion, the shame, the fear?

I don’t have all the answers, but what I do have—what I cling to—is prayer.

Prayers for the Unborn: A Christian Call to Protect Life

  1. Father of Life, thank You for knitting the unborn in secret places. May every heartbeat be heard by heaven’s throne. Spirit of God, speak life over wombs that feel neglected or scared.
  2. Jesus, Compassionate Savior, open the eyes of every expectant mother to see her baby as a gift, not a problem. Surround her with loving support that reflects Your grace.
  3. Holy Spirit, breathe courage into those trembling in the face of unwanted pregnancy. Replace fear with faith, and terminate the lie that abortion is the only way.
  4. God of Healing, heal the wounds—physical, emotional, spiritual—of women who’ve walked through abortion. Bring restorative peace and the reminder of Your redeeming love.
  5. Prince of Peace, soothe the storms inside every conflicted mother. Let her find calm in Your arms, and wisdom in Your Word to choose life.
  6. Compassionate Father, send a community of believers to affirm, support, and protect these women. May no one walk this road alone.
  7. Lord of Mercy, silence the lies that say life will trap or ruin plans. Show how a child brings purpose, not just responsibility.
  8. Everlasting God, pour down supernatural provision—financial, emotional, spiritual—for families considering adoption. Let hope overflow.
  9. Spirit of Truth, expose the tactics and fears that drive abortion. Empower believers to speak truth in love, without condemnation, but with grace.
  10. Redeemer King, for those walking daily regret, teach them that forgiveness exists for every sin. Restore their souls, multiply their hope, and transform their pain into praise.

There. Ten heartfelt prayers. Yet the weight remains: “Why do Christians hate abortion?” It’s not hate—we oppose abortion because of love—love for the unborn, love for women made in God’s image, and love for the Gospel that teaches forgiveness and value for all life.

Christians cannot stand by and watch the vulnerable—both mothers and babies—be harmed by deception, fear, or isolation. Our opposition to abortion is anchored in belief that all life—at every stage—has purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). We oppose it not with weapons, but with prayer, compassion, and sacrifice.

How do we help women turn away from abortion? It starts with walking alongside them:

  • Listening without judgment. Let her tell her story: the fear, the shame, the loneliness. Let her feel seen by Jesus through us.
  • Offering tangible support. Offer rides to appointments, financial help, the presence of a trusted friend when she’s scared.
  • Resource connection. Pregnancy crisis centers, adoption agencies, single moms’ groups… connect her with Christians who are already walking this path.
  • Praying with her. And for her—right now, daily. Prayer is powerful. Having someone pray that she might choose life, authentic community, and peace.
  • Sharing biblical truth. Verses like “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you… I set you apart” (Jeremiah 1:5), and “Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely” (Psalm 139:4), teach deep worth and premeditated love.
  • Modeling post-abortion grace. If women feel they’re past redemption, we must show them the power of grace: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just…” (1 John 1:9). No one is ever too far gone.

I’m reminded of my friend Abby. Two years ago, she found out she was unexpectedly pregnant. She was terrified—college, no job, no plan. She felt alone. But a small group from our church simply showed up. They didn’t preach. They brought meals, they listened, they cried with her. She decided to keep her baby. That child is now a healthy baby boy, named Levi. Every time she texts me a photo of him sleeping, I think about the power of love to interrupt death.

Sometimes I wonder: would I have had the courage to choose life if the world told me I couldn’t?

That’s the Church’s call. To be the arms, voices, prayers that let women know they don’t have to choose abortion—they have a community, a Savior, and a purpose.

Reflection

Sometimes the temptation is to feel helpless. When the news blares statistics—so many abortions every year—it’s like staring at a storm. But, oh, God…

He reminds me: the rain is coming, but seeds planted—even one—grow in the storm. One baby kept, one mom encouraged, one prayer answered…starts a ripple.

Let’s not minimize that.

Maybe I can’t personally fight on every front, but I can pray. I can love like Jesus. I can bring hope. When I’m tempted to feel small in this battle, I remind myself of the mustard seed…

Jesus said even a tiny seed, planted in faith, can grow into something life-giving and immense.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that every single soul is sacred—mother and child alike. Help me be Yours in battle for life—through prayer, through presence, through perseverance. Teach me to love pregnant women who are scared, uncertain, or alone with compassion that looks like You.

Give me the words, the wisdom, and the courage to step forward when the world says, “You can’t.” Let me be faith in motion—clinging to Your truth that You’re not done with her story yet.

Amen.

God’s Guardrails Are Not Just a List: How the 10 Commandments Keep Me Grounded

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

More than ever before I feel God’s presence like a warm light wrapping around my soul—just comforting enough to remind me I’m not alone. I’ve been thinking deeply about something a new friend said at small group over the weekend: “God’s guardrails are more than just a list.” How true that is! The Ten Commandments—they’re not rules meant to chain me; they’re loving boundaries from a Father who wants the best for me.

When I first encountered the Ten Commandments as a kid, I thought of them as a little pile of “thou shalt nots,” like rules that threatened punishment if broken. But over the last few years—especially now at 24—I’m discovering they’re liberating guardrails. Ironically, these boundaries don’t limit me; they protect me. They keep me grounded in truth, love, and purpose.

📖 “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” —2 Timothy 1:7. This tells me He didn’t give those commandments to scare me. He gave them so I could walk in confidence, rooted in His love, free from fear of “messing up.”

💕 Commandment by Commandment: How They Guide Me

  1. “You shall have no other gods before me.”
    — It’s a daily reminder that when I idolize my career ambitions, relationships, or even comfort, I’m drifting away from Him. I pray: “Lord, You alone are worthy of my highest devotion. Teach me to keep You at the center.”
  2. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image…”
    — In this age of comparison on Instagram and TikTok, it’s easy to idolize trends, aesthetic, or image. I whisper: “Help me focus on who I am in You, not what I look like to others.”
  3. “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.”
    — I catch myself sometimes saying God’s name in frustration. I repent: “Father, forgive my careless words. Let my tongue speak life and honor.”
  4. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
    — Oh, how I struggle with rest! My heart races at the thought of doing nothing. But Sabbath reminds me that rest is holy and necessary. “God, grant me peace in stillness and remind me You are enough.”
  5. “Honor your father and your mother.”
    — This one has softened me. My parents have taught me so much about faith and grace. I pray: “Thank You for them. Help me honor them in word, deed, and heart.”
  6. “You shall not murder.”
    — It’s about more than physical harm—it’s about words. I’ve let frustration boil into bitterness. “Lord, guard my heart and my words; let me speak life, forgiveness, and grace.”
  7. “You shall not commit adultery.”
    — My future spouse deserves holiness. I guard my eyes, my thoughts, my purity—heart, mind, and body. “Keep my mind pure and my heart faithful, Lord.”
  8. “You shall not steal.”
    — It’s more than property—what about time, attention, honor? Do I “steal” someone’s right to feel seen? “Give me a generous heart, not a selfish one.”
  9. “You shall not bear false witness.”
    — Gossip is insidious. “Help me speak truth in love and defend those who can’t defend themselves.”
  10. “You shall not covet.”
    — That ache in my chest when I scroll and feel less-than? That’s covetousness. “Lord, cultivate contentment in me. Teach me to delight in Your provision.”

🌺 Guardrails or Gateways?

This morning, I was running late and my heart thundered in my chest—fear, worry, frustration. My to-do list rolled on. And then I caught the whisper: “Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10). In that moment I realized, the guardrails aren’t barriers; they’re gateways. The guardrails offer a route back to Him when I’ve drifted into chaos. They invite me into shelter.

When I honor the Sabbath, I actually find joy in rest. When I guard my speech, I build up others. These commandments protect me from self-destruction and evil influences.

🙏 Prayer of the Heart

Heavenly Father,
I thank You that You are not distant or cold. You are a loving Father who set these commandments to guide my heart, not condemn it. When I was younger, I saw them as burdens. Now, I’m seeing them through the lens of redemption and transformation. Please:

  • Root me in Your love and not in fear.
  • Illuminate the times I drift without realizing it.
  • Guard my heart from idols—money, approval, even my own agenda.
  • Help me offer rest to my soul and mercy to others.
  • Shape my speech to be truth-laden and life-giving.
  • Give me contentment so covetousness has no foothold.

Thank You that Jesus fulfilled the law and that in Him, I don’t walk in condemnation. Instead, I walk in grace. When I fail, I remember “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us…” (1 John 1:9).

✨ Real-Life Glimmers

This week, I saw the power of the commandments in real life.

  • At work, when gossip bubbled up, I chose to change the subject. My coworker thanked me later—it felt like a mini-mission moment.
  • In a friendship, I offered a listening ear rather than advice. Took the commandment against taking from someone else’s time personally.
  • Internally, I noticed less comparison when I devoted ten minutes of prayer each morning. It’s subtle, but oh, so sweet.

It’s like each commandment is a little lamp lighting my path. They’re not legal chains—they’re kind directions that help me walk with clarity.

💞 My Prayer for You

If you’re reading this and wondering, “Do I really need these ancient rules?” I’d say yes—because they’re not ancient limits, but divine love letters. In a world that tells us to define our own truths, the commandments are like a Compass pointing us back to our Creator.

I pray that you find freedom in each guardrail:

  • Let the first two commandments remind you who you are in Christ and who God is—evoking awe, worship, and alignment.
  • Let the middle commandments shape your rhythms: rest in Him and honor family.
  • Let the last ones guide your ethics: how you speak, act, love, desire.

💌 Nighttime Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are the fulfillment of the law. At night, when the world quiets down, You whisper rest to my soul. Help me to rest not from work but in You. Remind me that I am not defined by my performance or perfection. You see me, You love me—even when I fall short. Thank You for sending Your Spirit to convict, guide, and empower me. May I live tomorrow tethered to Your truth. No cultural trend, no fear, no strife can unmoor me when You are my anchor.

“The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun‑scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well‑watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” —Isaiah 58:11

With all that I am and all that I will become, I place my trust in You. I want Your commandments to be written on my heart (Jeremiah 31:33), not out of obligation, but out of love.

Amen.

🌙 Final Thought

As a 24-year-old who stumbles, dreams, hopes, and seeks, the Ten Commandments aren’t obsolete—they’re so relevant. They guard the digital spaces where I dwell, the relationships I treasure, and the dreams I chase. They’re not just a list—they’re a lifeline.

So tonight, I tuck into bed, whispering, “Goodnight, Lord. Thank You for Your guardrails. Keep me grounded—and free—in You.” And I rest with that sweet sense of being deeply, truly, unconditionally loved.

Dear God, Is Anyone Still Fighting for You?

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is on fire tonight — but not the kind of fire you want. It’s the kind that burns because I’m angry, frustrated, and afraid all at once. I’m afraid that we’re losing something sacred. Something eternal. I’m afraid that Christianity — true, Bible-rooted Christianity — is being mocked, twisted, erased.

And worst of all, I feel like no one around me even cares.

Please Checkout My New YouTube Channel When you Have Time (It’s New So It’ll Get Better)

Everywhere I turn, the world is bowing to the Liberal agenda. Everything’s “tolerance” and “love wins” — but only if you agree with them. The moment you stand up for God’s Word, you’re called hateful, backwards, or worse. I’m tired. I’m mad. I feel like I’m watching the flame of our faith flicker under the pressure of politics and popularity contests.

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” — John 15:18 (ESV)

Lord, help me remember that it’s not me they hate — it’s You. But still, it hurts. It hurts to feel like I’m shouting into a void. It hurts to see churches flying rainbow flags and “celebrating pride” while ignoring the pride that leads to destruction.

Prayer 1:
God, please open the eyes of the Church. Wake us up before it’s too late. Give us boldness, not softness. Give us conviction, not compromise. I don’t want to be a lukewarm believer. I want to burn for You, not blend in for them.

What scares me the most is how fast we’re moving. Just a few years ago, things felt different. Now, if you don’t use the “right” pronouns, you could lose your job. If you say marriage is between a man and a woman — just like the Bible says — you’re called a bigot. I’m only 24, but I feel like I’m already living in a country that doesn’t want me — or at least doesn’t want what I believe.

And I keep wondering: Where are the other Christians? Why are so many of us silent?

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

Prayer 2:
Lord, give Your people courage. Wake us up from our comfort. Let us speak with truth and love — not fear. Let us vote, shout, pray, and live like Your kingdom matters more than their approval.

Tonight I read a headline about another pastor arrested for “hate speech” because he quoted Scripture in a sermon. I wanted to scream. How can we just let this happen?! How can Christians be silenced in a country built on freedom? The same freedom they use to tear us down?

I know not every liberal is evil — I’m not that naive. But I also know the ideology they push is poison to our faith. It’s not about kindness or justice anymore. It’s about control. It’s about replacing God with government, sin with pride, truth with confusion.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” — Isaiah 5:20 (ESV)

Prayer 3:
Jesus, be our defender. Be our truth in a sea of lies. Help me not to become bitter — but I can’t pretend I’m not furious. Channel my anger into action. Let me fight for You! Give me a voice that carries and a heart that doesn’t give up.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if every Christian in America actually voted with the Bible in mind. Not with emotion. Not with culture. But with truth. What if we demanded that our politicians protect the unborn, defend religious liberty, and stop forcing godless agendas into our schools? What if we stood up — together?

It breaks my heart to see how many Christians say, “Well, Jesus isn’t political.” And yes, He wasn’t running for office — but He sure stood up to power. He didn’t sugarcoat the truth for Rome or the Pharisees. He turned over tables. He called sin what it was.

So why are we too scared to even post a Bible verse?

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” — Romans 12:2 (ESV)

Prayer 4:
Father, help me live transformed. Don’t let me mold to this world. Make me holy — set apart — even if it costs me popularity, friendships, or peace. Let me care more about pleasing You than fitting in.

I think of the kids growing up right now, being taught to question everything — except the lies. It’s a world where drag shows are “family-friendly,” but prayer in school is banned. A world where Christian voices are censored, but everything else is celebrated in the name of “freedom.” If we don’t fight back now, will there be anything left for the next generation?

I don’t want to sit back and watch our light go out.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:10 (ESV)

Prayer 5:
Jesus, make me worthy of being persecuted for You. If I have to suffer to stand for truth, let it be done. I don’t want comfort — I want courage. I don’t want peace with the world — I want peace in You. And I want to see revival in my lifetime. Please, Lord. Let it begin with me.

It’s almost midnight now. I probably won’t sleep much tonight. My mind is racing with everything I want to do — everything I feel called to shout from the rooftops. Maybe this article is just a release. But maybe it’s also a reminder: I’m not crazy. I’m not alone. And I’m not giving up.

God is still on the throne. But His people need to rise. We can’t afford to play nice anymore. Not when souls are at stake. Not when truth is under attack.

If we don’t carry the flame — who will?

More Than Possessions: Finding God’s True Wealth Amidst Consumer Culture

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Tonight my heart feels pain as I reflect on how deeply materialism and greed have woven themselves into the fabric of American society. Everywhere I look—on social media, on TV, in conversations—it seems like the pursuit of more things, more money, and more status dominates the minds and hearts of people around me. It pains me because I see how this focus is slowly eroding the Christian values I cherish and strive to live by.

Please take a look at my YouTube Channel Here!

Growing up in church, I remember the countless sermons warning us about the dangers of loving money. One verse always sticks with me: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:10). It’s such a powerful reminder that greed doesn’t just affect our wallets—it can break our faith and shatter our souls.

What’s sad is that this love of money isn’t always obvious or malicious. Sometimes it’s subtle—a constant chase after the latest phone, the trendiest clothes, the biggest house. It’s easy to get caught up in it without even realizing it. I admit, I’ve felt that pull too. Social media bombards me with images of influencers flaunting their wealth and luxury, and I have to remind myself daily that my worth is not measured by what I own.

Jesus had a lot to say about this kind of attitude. I keep coming back to Matthew 6:19-21: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” It’s convicting because it shows me that what I value most shapes where my heart truly lives. Am I storing up treasures in heaven, or am I distracted by fleeting earthly things?

I think about how much pressure there is to conform to this materialistic culture, especially as a young woman trying to build a career and life in this world. Advertisements tell me that buying this or that will bring happiness, success, or even acceptance. But deep down, I know that’s not true. Happiness built on things is like a sandcastle—beautiful but washed away by the next wave. Only God’s love is eternal and unchanging.

The Bible offers a different perspective—one that values generosity, contentment, and trust in God’s provision. Hebrews 13:5 says, “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’” What peace there is in that promise! It reminds me that I don’t need to cling to possessions or chase after more because God is always with me, providing exactly what I need.

Another passage that encourages me is Proverbs 11:28: “Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.” It warns against putting our trust in money and possessions, which are so fragile and temporary. Trusting in God, on the other hand, leads to true flourishing—spiritually and emotionally.

I see the effects of materialism and greed not just personally but in my community and church. Sometimes it causes division—people comparing themselves, competing, or even envying others. It makes me sad to think that something as shallow as possessions can steal the joy of fellowship and unity that Christ desires for us.

It also affects how we care for others. The Bible tells us in 1 John 3:17, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” This challenges me to think about how much I’m really willing to give and share. Am I holding tightly to my things out of fear or greed, or am I generous like Jesus taught?

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the contradiction between the world’s values and the kingdom values I want to live by. The world says, “Get rich, get famous, get ahead.” God’s Word says, “Serve others, be humble, love sacrificially.” How do I navigate that tension daily?

I remind myself that it’s not about rejecting all material things—they are gifts from God and can be used for His glory. But the heart behind owning and using them matters. Are my possessions serving me, or am I serving them? Luke 12:15 warns, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” That verse shakes me every time because it cuts through so much of our culture’s noise.

The way I think about money and stuff is a spiritual matter. Jesus taught that our hearts are where our treasure lies, so I want to ask God to help me have a heart like His—generous, content, and focused on eternal things.

I pray for wisdom to live simply in a world that screams for more. I pray for courage to say no to the temptation of greed and materialism, even when it feels like everyone else is chasing after those things. And I pray for compassion to care deeply about others and not let possessions blind me to their needs.

It’s encouraging to remember that I’m not alone in this struggle. So many believers are wrestling with the same issues. We can support each other, pray for each other, and keep pointing one another back to God’s Word—the only true source of lasting joy and fulfillment.

Tonight, as I close my laptop, I’m reminded of Jesus’ words in John 10:10: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” The “full life” Jesus offers isn’t measured by material wealth but by the richness of His love, grace, and peace. I want to pursue that fullness—not the empty promises of materialism.

May my heart always treasure God above all else. May I find joy in His presence, peace in His provision, and freedom from the chains of greed. I want to live a life that reflects His kingdom values, even when the world pulls me the other way.

Unlike the Racist Left, God’s Image Knows No Skin Tone

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Yesterday I saw something that made my heart sink—not because I didn’t expect it, but because deep down I had hoped for better. News broke that President Trump is allowing in 58 white refugees from South Africa, and instead of celebrating the rescue of human beings—God’s creations—the Left is up in arms about it. Not because they’re against refugees per se, but apparently, because these particular refugees are white.

I had to sit with that for a moment.

For years, I’ve heard the Left shout that “refugees are welcome,” that “America is a land of immigrants,” and that “no human being is illegal.” So why is it different now? Is mercy only righteous when it aligns with a political narrative? Is compassion only acceptable when it checks the right identity boxes?

“For God shows no partiality.” —Romans 2:11

Lord, You are not swayed by skin tone, nationality, or social class. You see the heart, the need, the soul. Why can’t we do the same?

I’m not here trying to defend every decision Trump has made. But what I can’t ignore is how quickly compassion is questioned when the recipients are white. It’s like being white disqualifies you from pain or persecution in the eyes of this world. But persecution doesn’t ask for skin color—it strikes where evil thrives.

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28

People talk about equity and fairness, but they don’t want fairness—they want revenge disguised as justice. It’s heartbreaking. What happened to just loving people?

Prayer 1:
Lord Jesus, open my eyes wider and cleanse any bias within me. Help me love like You, without filters, without conditions. Give me discernment in a world full of lies.

What I’m seeing is the fruit of a culture that has lost its moral compass. It’s not even about politics anymore. It’s about spiritual decay. When people hate mercy, something’s wrong. When people cheer for destruction, we’ve left the Gospel far behind.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” —Isaiah 5:20

They say they want love, but then hate those who look a certain way. They say they want inclusion, but then exclude people for being the wrong kind of oppressed. It’s all backwards.

Prayer 2:
Father, I lift up this nation to You. We are confused, divided, and sick with pride. Humble our hearts and bring repentance to this land. Let Your truth shine through the noise.

I keep thinking about how Jesus would respond. He wouldn’t care about the politics. He’d care about the person—the refugee mother trying to protect her children, the man fleeing violence, the family seeking a safe home. And yes, that includes white people too.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” —Psalm 34:18

Why does the world want to assign value based on melanin instead of mercy?

I feel a deep ache in my spirit. Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong in this culture anymore. The values I see shouted from the rooftops—sexual confusion, identity politics, hatred of faith, and open disdain for biblical truth—make me feel like a stranger in my own country.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” —Romans 12:2

I want to be bold in love but also bold in truth. It’s not loving to remain silent while people celebrate sin or weaponize compassion.

Prayer 3:
Jesus, help me be a voice of clarity in a foggy world. Give me strength not to compromise, and courage not to stay silent. Make me more like You.

This isn’t about defending whiteness—God help us if that’s what it becomes. This is about standing for what’s right even when it’s unpopular. If it were 58 black refugees, I would feel the same. If it were 58 Muslims fleeing war, I would still say: protect them. Because they are human beings. Because they are loved by God. Because Christ died for all.

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:8

But instead of seeing God’s mercy reflected, I see people getting upset simply because mercy was shown to the “wrong” race. If this isn’t a heart problem, what is?

Prayer 4:
Holy Spirit, break the chains of racism in every direction—black, white, left, right. Only You can purify hearts and restore true unity. Let Your church rise up in holiness and love.

This is why I cling to Scripture more than ever. The world’s values are shifting sand, but God’s truth is my anchor. I can’t afford to let culture define what’s good and evil. Only God can.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” —Psalm 119:105

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” —Matthew 5:9

“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” —Romans 12:9

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” —Galatians 6:9

I pray that we don’t lose sight of what mercy really means. That we remember Jesus died not for categories, but for souls. That we hold the line on righteousness, even when the world mocks us.

Prayer 5:
Lord, keep my heart soft but strong. Let me not be desensitized by hatred or fear. Help me shine for You, even when the darkness feels loud.

Today I cried—not because 58 white refugees were rescued, but because people were mad about it. The world needs Jesus, desperately. But we have Him. And I won’t let go.

—Amen.

Hey Christians: Stop Being ‘Nice’! The Dangerous Comfort of Christian Passivity

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Stop Being ‘Nice’: The Dangerous Comfort of Christian Passivity

As Christians, we are called to love and serve others. This is a commandment from our Lord, expressed clearly in scripture. In Colossians 3:12, we are instructed: “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.” These qualities are beautiful and essential in our walk with Christ. We are to embody kindness, compassion, and understanding in all we do, following the example of Christ Himself.

However, there is a danger in becoming too nice. While kindness and compassion are vital aspects of the Christian faith, there is a fine line between being kind and being too nice. When we cross that line, we may unintentionally harm ourselves and others, despite our good intentions.

In a world that often celebrates the idea of being “nice,” we need to pause and reflect on whether we are embracing God’s call to live with purpose and strength or if we are falling into the dangerous comfort of Christian passivity. This passive niceness can ultimately leave us feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and drained, all while we avoid the harder but necessary aspects of our faith, like confrontation and standing up for what is right.

The Problem with Being Too Nice

When we are too nice, we often prioritize the needs and desires of others over our own. It sounds loving and generous, but the reality is that consistently neglecting our own needs can lead to burnout and a lack of fulfillment. If we are constantly seeking to please others, we may forget that we too have limits, desires, and emotions that matter to God.

The danger of always putting others first is that it can create a pattern of resentment. Over time, we may begin to feel unappreciated or even taken advantage of. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” If we are not careful, neglecting our own emotional and spiritual needs can harm our hearts and ultimately hinder our ability to serve others in the way God intends.

Furthermore, being too nice often causes us to avoid difficult conversations or uncomfortable situations. We may choose to let things slide when we should be addressing them. Maybe someone has hurt us, but we avoid confrontation because we don’t want to upset them. Or perhaps we see someone behaving in a way that’s not in line with God’s will, but we hold back from speaking out because we don’t want to rock the boat. In doing so, we allow unresolved issues to fester, often causing more harm in the long run.

God calls us to be truthful and loving, not passive. Ephesians 4:15 tells us to “speak the truth in love”. This means we are to be honest, but in a way that is gentle and compassionate. We should never shy away from the hard things that need to be said, but we must say them with love, humility, and grace.

Why Setting Boundaries Is Crucial

One of the most important things we can do as Christian women is to set boundaries. Matthew 7:12 tells us, “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.” If we want others to respect our time, energy, and emotions, we must first learn to respect ourselves by setting healthy boundaries.

Setting boundaries doesn’t mean we don’t love or serve others—it means that we are protecting ourselves so we can continue to serve in a way that honors God. Luke 6:31 says, “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.” Just as we seek respect and care from others, we must learn to protect ourselves from being overwhelmed by the needs of others, lest we lose the ability to serve effectively.

If you are someone who struggles to say “no,” remember that saying “no” to something that doesn’t align with your priorities or values is not a rejection of others. It is an affirmation of your own worth and well-being. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us that “you are not your own; you were bought with a price.” We belong to God, and we must steward our bodies, minds, and spirits wisely, which includes knowing when to set limits.

Communicate Effectively and Speak Up

Being a Christian doesn’t mean we should accept mistreatment or allow others to walk all over us. Philippians 2:4 encourages us to “Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others.” We are called to care for others, but we are also called to protect our hearts and be honest when something isn’t right.

When someone crosses your boundaries or takes advantage of your kindness, it’s essential to speak up. Proverbs 27:5 teaches, “Better is open rebuke than hidden love.” Confronting others in love, though difficult, is sometimes necessary to maintain healthy relationships and protect your own well-being. This doesn’t mean being rude or attacking; it simply means that you communicate with clarity, truth, and respect.

Jesus Himself modeled this for us. He didn’t shy away from hard conversations, whether it was confronting the Pharisees or addressing His disciples about their misunderstanding of His mission. Matthew 23:33 shows Jesus’ boldness in truth when He called the Pharisees out, saying, “You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?” While this is a strong rebuke, Jesus’ actions were motivated by His love for them and His desire for them to turn from their ways. This is the example we are to follow—speaking the truth with love, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Take Care of Yourself

As women of faith, we often pour ourselves into the lives of others—our families, our friends, and our communities. But in doing so, we sometimes forget the importance of caring for ourselves. Mark 6:31 shows us that even Jesus recognized the need for rest: “And he said to them, ‘Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.’” We need to prioritize our own emotional, physical, and spiritual health if we want to continue serving others in the way God intends.

Taking time for self-care is not selfish; it’s a form of stewardship. 1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” We glorify God by caring for the body He has entrusted to us and ensuring that we are well-rested and spiritually nourished.

Stand Up for Yourself and Others

As Christians, we are not meant to be passive observers in the face of injustice. In Luke 4:18, Jesus proclaims, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.” Just as Jesus stood up for the marginalized, we too are called to advocate for justice and truth. Whether it’s standing up for someone who’s being mistreated or speaking out against societal injustices, we must be bold in our faith.

A Prayer for Boldness and Strength

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the beautiful example of love, kindness, and strength that You’ve shown through Jesus. I pray for boldness to live according to Your will and to stand firm in my faith, even when it’s difficult. Help me to balance kindness with truth, compassion with boundaries, and service with self-care. Give me the courage to speak up when I need to, and the wisdom to know when to set healthy limits. May I always seek to glorify You in all I do.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Conclusion

Being kind and compassionate is at the heart of our Christian faith. However, we must also remember that God calls us to live with courage, wisdom, and strength. We are not meant to live in passivity or fear of confrontation. Let us be bold, loving, and wise, reflecting God’s love in all we do—while also taking care of our hearts and standing firm in His truth.

The Growing Storm: The Greatest Challenges Christians Face in 2025

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

In my opinion, as we step further into 2025, Christianity is facing not just challenges, but spiritual warfare of historic proportions. What was once cultural resistance has escalated into full-blown hostility against biblical truth. The enemy prowls more boldly than ever, as foretold in Scripture:

“Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” — 2 Timothy 3:12

These are not just difficult times—they are perilous times. And unless the Church awakens, the light risks being overshadowed by darkness.

1. Persecution and Discrimination: The Blood of the Saints Cries Out

Across the world, over 380 million Christians endure violent persecution—a modern-day martyrdom hidden behind political silence and apathy. These are not just statistics. These are brothers and sisters being beaten, raped, imprisoned, tortured, and murdered for simply uttering the name of Jesus.

“They will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.” — Matthew 24:9

In nations ruled by tyrants, in regions controlled by extremists, believers are hunted like criminals. Bibles are burned. Churches are bombed. Children are abducted. The Cross is illegal.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, protect Your persecuted Church. Strengthen their spirits and deliver them from evil. Let their suffering not be in vain, but a testimony to Your power. Amen.

2. The Falling Away: Empty Pews, Empty Hearts

The Church in the West is bleeding out. Sunday services echo with the silence of missing generations. Entire families walk away from the faith, seduced by secularism, distracted by digital noise, or disillusioned by shallow religion.

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching… and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” — 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Evangelism has stalled. Many pastors stand before half-empty sanctuaries, preaching to the faithful remnant while wondering how to reach a culture that views Christianity as a joke or a threat.

Prayer:
Father God, rekindle the fire of revival in our hearts. Fill Your Church with conviction, urgency, and boldness. Raise up laborers for the harvest. Amen.

3. The Crisis of Theological Illiteracy: A Church Without Roots

A growing number of Christians cannot articulate the Gospel, define the Trinity, or distinguish truth from falsehood. The age of shallow spirituality has left the Church vulnerable to deception.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6

Many believers now form their theology from social media memes and TikTok influencers rather than the Word of God. This famine of biblical understanding weakens the Church from within.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, ignite a hunger for truth in us. Give us discernment, wisdom, and a deep love for Your Word. Protect us from lies clothed in light. Amen.

4. The World’s Pressure: Conform or Be Canceled

The spirit of this age demands conformity. Biblical convictions are now labeled as hate speech. Those who stand for truth risk losing jobs, relationships, reputations—even freedom.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Christians are cornered into silence on issues like abortion, gender, and sexuality. Even within the Church, division festers. Entire denominations fracture over doctrines that Scripture made clear centuries ago.

Prayer:
Lord, make us bold like lions, gentle like doves, and unwavering like the saints of old. Strengthen Your people to speak truth in love and endure mockery for Your name’s sake. Amen.

A Final Word: Hold the Line

The days are dark, but the light of Christ shines brighter still. We are not called to comfort—we are called to courage. The Church must return to the Word, to prayer, to holiness.

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13

Now is not the time to retreat. Now is the time to stand.

Final Prayer:
Almighty God, awaken Your Church from its slumber. Let the fear of the Lord fall upon us again. May we endure hardship, rejoice in suffering, and glorify You until the very end. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Faith and Friendship: Christian Verses to Speak Life and Hope

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Lord, I felt You stirring my heart today to reflect on the kind of friend I am—and the kind of friend You’ve called me to be. In a world that often feels heavy and uncertain, I want to be someone who brings light and life to those You’ve placed in my path.

I opened my Bible this morning and found myself soaking in verses that speak truth and hope over relationships. Your Word is alive, and I felt You nudging me to share these promises—not just in texts or cards, but in how I live and love.

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” — Proverbs 17:17

This reminds me that true friendship is not about convenience. It’s about being present, especially when it’s hard. Help me be that kind of friend, Jesus.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9–10

I want to be someone who lifts others up, not just with words, but with prayer, presence, and patience.

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18

God, let my love for my friends be more than sentiment. Let it be active and true.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

When someone feels like giving up, let me be the voice that reminds them of their worth in You.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2

There is something holy in simply showing up. Help me carry the weight when someone can’t carry it alone.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:17

Lord, give me friendships that challenge me to grow, not just feel good. And help me do the same for others.

“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” — Romans 12:10

Forgive me when I make it about me. Humble me. Teach me to serve and honor those I care about.

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” — John 15:12

Your love was selfless and sacrificial. That’s the standard—not what’s easy.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

Jesus, You laid down Your life for me. Let me lay down my pride, my time, even my comfort if it means loving others well.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.” — Numbers 6:24–25

I want to speak these words over the people I love. May they feel Your favor on their lives.

Prayers for Friendship and Faith

  1. Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift of friendship. Help me be the kind of friend who reflects Your love, grace, and truth. Let every word I speak bring encouragement and life.
  2. Father God, remind me that my friends are not mine to fix, but Yours to carry. Teach me to intercede for them in prayer before I offer advice or opinions.
  3. Holy Spirit, guide my conversations. Let my words be gentle, timely, and soaked in Scripture. Use my life to point others back to You.
  4. Gracious God, when my friends are hurting, let me be a vessel of comfort. May I show up not with answers, but with presence and peace.
  5. Faithful Lord, knit my friendships together with trust, patience, and forgiveness. Help me love even when it’s not easy, and speak hope when others feel hopeless.

Lifting Up One Another: A Christian Call to Encourage in Times of Need

Life has a way of bringing seasons we never asked for—loss, illness, heartache, or just deep weariness that words can’t fix. And when those seasons come, one of the greatest gifts we can give each other is the gift of encouragement. As Christians, we’re not only called to love God but to love people—and that love must show up when it matters most.

The Bible reminds us again and again that we were never meant to walk through pain alone. “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). This isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a calling. When someone we love is hurting, our presence, prayers, and words can be the very lifeline God uses to sustain them.

I’ve been on both sides—lifting others up and being lifted myself. I remember a time when I faced a painful loss. No one could fix it, but a few dear friends showed up with simple kindness: meals, scripture texts, or just silence and a hand to hold. Those moments helped me breathe again. They reminded me that even in the valley, I wasn’t alone—and neither was God.

Encouragement doesn’t have to be fancy. Sometimes it’s as simple as a phone call or a handwritten note that says, “I see you. I’m praying. You’re not forgotten.” Or maybe it’s sharing a Scripture that has carried us through our own storms. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18) is one I’ve whispered over many aching souls, including my own.

We are the Body of Christ, and when one part suffers, we all feel it (1 Corinthians 12:26). That’s why comfort isn’t optional for us—it’s part of how we reflect the heart of Jesus. He didn’t run from sorrow; He stepped into it. He wept with the grieving. He noticed the hurting. And He called us to do the same.

Let us be women who show up. Let us be people who don’t just say “I’ll pray,” but actually do—right there, in the moment. Let’s be vessels of hope in a world that desperately needs it.

And when we don’t know what to say, that’s okay. Sometimes, being present is enough. Just our faithfulness in those hard moments can point someone to the faithfulness of God.

Friend, who in your life needs encouragement today? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you. Send that text. Write that card. Offer that prayer. Because when we lift others, we’re not only easing their burden—we’re reflecting the very love of Christ.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” —1 Thessalonians 5:11

As I close this entry tonight, I’m reminded that You are the truest Friend, Jesus. You never leave, never tire, never fail. Thank You for loving me, so I can love others. Help me walk in this calling—with humility and with joy.

With a full heart,
—Christian Tech Nerd

Faith Under Fire: Liberalism’s Assault on CHRISTIAN Values

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Lord, this world grows darker by the day. The noise of deception is deafening, and truth is being trampled in the streets (Isaiah 59:14).

Today I saw more of the left’s agenda being pushed into law—policies that spit in the face of Your Word. They call it “justice,” “equality,” and “freedom,” but they do not mean the justice You declare, the equality of all made in Your image, or the freedom found in Christ. They champion ideologies that celebrate sin, that glorify rebellion, and that enslave people to brokenness.

They claim to uplift the oppressed while mocking Your order and calling evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20). They wave flags drenched in pride—pride, Lord!—over things You clearly condemn. They butcher the innocence of children in schools, indoctrinating them with confusion instead of truth. They legalize what You call abomination (Leviticus 18:22), and they silence those who dare speak Your name.

Father, how did we get here?

The left has not merely strayed—they’ve declared war on everything holy. Marriage is no longer sacred. Gender is no longer fixed. Life in the womb is treated like disposable tissue, not the precious creation You knitted together (Psalm 139:13–16). And yet they say they are the moral ones, they are the compassionate ones. But You said, “Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight” (Isaiah 5:21).

Lord, they legislate perversion and outlaw prayer. They mock the Cross and yet speak of “love.” But You are love—not the warped, permissive love they preach, but the holy love that disciplines, convicts, and redeems. You call us to deny ourselves, not indulge our every desire (Luke 9:23). They call that hate.

Your people are asleep. Churches are afraid to speak. Pastors tickle ears with soft words and ignore the fire falling all around us (2 Timothy 4:3–4). And the Enemy dances while we worry about being “offensive.” God forgive us.

2 Liberal Policies that are EXTREMELY Opposed to Biblical Christian Values:

1. Abortion is LOVED by the LEFT (PURE EVIL)

Abortion grieves me—not just as a social issue, but as a spiritual wound in our world.

From the moment of conception, I believe a child is known and loved by God. Psalm 139 speaks so clearly: “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.” These aren’t poetic metaphors to me—they are divine affirmations that every life is handcrafted by the Creator, imbued with purpose and dignity.

Abortion, then, is not just a medical procedure. It is the ending of a life that God Himself has breathed into existence. It interrupts a sacred story before it has even begun. How can something so holy be treated so casually by our culture? My heart aches for the babies who never get to see the light of day—and for the mothers who are often caught in fear, confusion, or desperation.

I know Jesus offers mercy, not condemnation. That’s important. His love reaches even into the darkest places. But as His follower, I must stand for what is true. And truth says that life is a gift, not a choice to be undone.

2. LIBERALS HAVE DESTROYED TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE

In our culture, the definition of marriage has changed, but for many Christians, including myself, there’s a call to hold to what Scripture teaches, even when it’s unpopular or misunderstood.

From Genesis onward, God paints a picture of marriage as a covenant between a man and a woman. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). This isn’t just a tradition—it’s a design. Jesus Himself affirmed this in Matthew 19, reminding us that this union reflects something sacred, not just social.

It’s not about hate or exclusion. I truly believe God loves every person unconditionally—regardless of who they’re attracted to. Jesus died for us all. But love does not mean affirmation of all choices. Just as I am called to turn away from my own sinful desires and surrender to God’s will, I believe all of us are called to align our lives with His truth, even when it costs us something.

Gay marriage, from a biblical standpoint, redefines something God created to reflect His relationship with the Church. It’s not about denying love between people—it’s about honoring God’s intention for how that love is expressed in covenant. That’s why many Christians can’t affirm same-sex marriage, even when we want to walk in compassion and grace.

“Republican Men Are AWFUL!” – Liberal Journalist Goes OFF on Conservatives- Click To Watch!

I know this is hard. I grieve how often the Church has failed to show love while standing for truth. But I also can’t escape the conviction that God’s Word is not ours to edit. My job isn’t to change His commands—it’s to obey them, and love others deeply while doing so.

Oh God, awaken Your remnant.

Bring back the fear of the Lord—a fear this world has forgotten. Raise up voices unashamed of the Gospel. Let us be like Elijah on Mount Carmel, standing alone against a culture soaked in Baal worship (1 Kings 18). Let us be like Daniel, refusing to bow when the law demands it (Daniel 6:10). Let us be like Paul, who counted all things as loss for the sake of Christ (Philippians 3:8).

Strengthen me, Lord.

Let me not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9), though I feel surrounded by darkness. Let me not be silent when truth is gasping for air. Use me, even if it costs me reputation, comfort, or safety. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? (Mark 8:36).

And Father, I pray—not in bitterness, but in brokenness—for those leading this madness. Open their eyes. Shatter the deception. Turn their hearts from stone to flesh. Your mercy is greater than any sin, and if You could redeem Saul of Tarsus, You can redeem even the loudest voice in Hollywood or Washington.

But if they will not turn… then rise up in justice.

Let Your truth prevail. Let Your judgment purify. Let Your church shine brighter because of the darkness. And when the fire comes, may I be found standing, not with the world, but with the Word.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

The Christian “Secret” To Healthy Living

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Every day, as I’m on my way to church, I witness something unusual.

People around me are frowning.

They look at their phones to make sure they are not missing anything.

And they walk like they’re running away from something.

Everyone in the street seems constantly concerned.

This transforms once I step foot inside my church.

The Christians around me are joyful.

They are more relaxed.

And they laugh with their whole hearts.


It is like a whole different world.

Laughter is something that’s almost gone extinct in the modern world.

But it is an essential aspect of our health.

One that we should strive to maintain.

As Christians, we live with joy and gratitude, no matter what challenges we may face.

God has given us the present of laughter, and He wants us to use it to lift our spirits and those of others.

It naturally reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and boosts the immune system. 

When we laugh, we release endorphins, which are natural painkillers that promote feelings of happiness and well-being.

It is so important.

And yet, a lot of people nowadays have almost forgotten about it.

They focus solely on everything that goes wrong.

And they neglect to care for their mental and spiritual health.

As Christians, this is something that we have to support everyone with.

Everyone should be able to laugh and appreciate what they have.

Nehemiah 8:10 says, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” When we cultivate joy and laughter, we are tapping into the strength and joy that come from God.

Laughter can allow us to feel more connected to God and His creation.

When we laugh at the absurdities, we are reminded of God’s sense of humor and His ability to turn even the most difficult situations into blessings.

Taking everything too seriously can have a lot of negative consequences.

Remember, we are on this earth for a finite amount of time.

Having fun and living happily should be a no-brainer.

So let us remember that laughter is a present from God.

And that He wants us to use it to lift our spirits and those of others.

May we always find joy and gratitude amid our challenges.

Biblical “Secret” For Improved Health

I have noticed a positive trend lately.

Regular folks across America are trying to be healthier.

That’s good! It means that people are starting to realize the importance of self-care.

However, most of them run into a significant matter.

They don’t know what to do.

No matter where you look nowadays, there is someone giving different advice.

How are you supposed to know which one is the right one?

Well, no matter how chaotic things become, there is always a place where we can find answers

Our Holy Texts.

Biblical figures show us how to go through our journeys.

Some advice is obvious

But the Texts often talk with symbolism. 

So many people don’t recognize some of these symbols when they see them.

In Proverbs 31, a woman is described as being active from before dawn until after sunset.

She works with eager hands, brings food from afar, wakes up while it is still night to provide for her family, and her lamp does not go out at night.

These simple sentences underline some very important messages.

Firstly, she is a woman of constant activity. 

She’s not sitting idle, she’s working, moving, using her hands, her feet, her strength.

Physical activity is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, strengthening the heart, reducing the risk of many diseases, and promoting mental well-being.

Secondly, she is conscious of her family’s nutrition.

She brings her food from afar, suggesting she searches for the finest, most nutritious food for her family.

In an age of ultra-processed foods and quick meals, this is a reminder to us of the importance of balanced and thoughtful nutrition.

Of course, this is not just about physical health. 

She also shows us the importance of mental and spiritual well-being. 

“She speaks with wisdom, fears the Lord, and extends her hands to the needy.”

This is not just a story, these are guidelines.

Modern science confirms what Christianity hinted at millennia ago. 

Physical health is intertwined with our mental and spiritual health. Optimal physical well-being can nurture a flourishing spirit, and vice versa.

So if we want to care for our health, let us strive to be like the Proverbs 31 woman.

How To Perform A “Holy Detox”

Have you ever heard of a detox center?

Where you eliminate the harmful toxins from your system?

What if you did the same for your spirit?

I will show you how to perform a Holy Detox.

Rather than focusing solely on physical cleansing, this divine approach provides you with spiritual renewal and emotional healing. 

It’s a holistic practice that encourages us to pause, reflect, and rekindle our connection with God.

The core of the Holy Detox is prayer. 

Prayer is our direct line of communication with our Heavenly Father.

And it plays a pivotal role in helping us purify our minds, systems, and souls. 

Through prayer, we let God in and ask for His guidance, forgiveness, and strength.

By releasing our fears

Our doubts

And our resentments, we create space for His love, peace, and healing to enter our existence. 

This process of surrender is essential for the Holy Detox.

It allows us to shed the spiritual toxins that impede our growth and well-being.

When you perform the divine cleanse, you also need some moments of solitude and reflection in nature.

By immersing yourself in the beauty of God’s creation, you can quiet your mind.

You will not be distracted, so you’ll be able to foster a deeper connection with our Creator.

These sacred moments in nature help to revitalize our souls and remind us of the grandeur and majesty of the Lord.

So for a few weeks, or however long you need to, take a few hours of your day to connect deeper with God in solitude.

The Holy Detox is a transformative journey that invites us to experience the fullness of God’s love and healing.

By committing ourselves to this divine practice, we can cleanse our spirits and emerge as renewed, vibrant, and spiritually-centered individuals.

I invite you to embark on this sacred journey of renewal.

And experience the power of the Holy Detox for yourself.

And if you want to invite a fellow Christian to perform this with you, why don’t you forward this Christian article to them?

How To Plan Your Meals According To The Holy Texts

There is no question about it

Our eating habits are essential for our health.

However, eating right consistently, and consuming every nutrient you need can be tough.

Especially if you don’t have any guidance.

That is why I want to give you easy ways to plan your meals in a way that serves God.

First things first, it’s important to be mindful of what you eat.

When you eat with intention and gratitude, you acknowledge the blessings God has given us.

And by making thoughtful food choices, you demonstrate our commitment to stewardship of the environment and compassion for others.

In faithful meal planning, we strive to select wholesome, natural ingredients that benefit our health but also reflect our values as Christians.

Such foods are fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, which are mentioned and recommended throughout our holy texts as healthy and nutritious.

Incorporating these foods into your meals will nourish your health and strengthen your spiritual connection with God.

Additionally, it’s important to steer away from processed and artificial foods, as they often contain harmful additives that can be bad for your health.

So this is what you should or shouldn’t eat

But what about how much you should eat?

Well, this is why mindful eating is so important.

Gluttony is a sin.


And we shouldn’t ever overindulge in food.

You have to listen to your natural hunger and fullness signals and quit eating when you feel satisfied, not stuffed.

This seems simple, but a lot of people forget to do it.

And they eat too much without realizing it.

Our hunger levels are controlled by hormones such as ghrelin, and leptin.

God has put these in us for a reason.

To be able to tell when we should eat and how much we eat.

We have to pay attention to our hunger signals and eat in moderation.

We could be talking about the subject of nutrition for days

But in the end, everything boils down to eating whole foods in the way that God has given them to us

And listening to our natural instincts.

So stay mindful of what you eat and prefer natural, wholesome foods over processed ones.

God’s Answer To Overeating

Stress often leads us to seek comfort.

In our relationships. In our households. But most importantly, in our food.

Yes, comfort food is a lot of regular folks’ go-to when they feel anxious. A large bowl of ice cream or a large bag of chips may seem like an excellent remedy for a rough day. 

But before you reach for that snack, there’s something you should know.

A recent report from the Garvan Institute in Sydney has revealed something concerning.

Stress, combined with indulging in high-calorie comfort food, is very dangerous.

It doesn’t just make us gain weight. It also alters our cognitive abilities.

These alterations amplify cravings for sweet, unhealthy food and foster a cycle of overeating.

Once you begin indulging in that behavior, stopping becomes more and more difficult.

You keep craving ultra-processed, unhealthy foods that you find in the supermarkets.

Even though you know it is bad for your system.

It’s a startling finding.

But as followers of Christ, we hold a potent tool to combat this cycle. Prayer.

Scripture encourages us to cast our anxieties on God, for He cares for us. 

When the stress of everyday concerns starts to weigh us down, we shouldn’t instinctively reach for that box of cookies.

Instead, we should reach out to our Heavenly Father in prayer.

Prayer transfers our worries and stresses onto the One who can carry them for us.

The calming effect that this transfer brings reduces our stress levels and curbs the urge to seek solace in food.

The next time you feel the burdens piling up and the pull of the kitchen growing more intense, I challenge you to try a different approach.

Breathe. 

Take a moment. And reach out to God in prayer.

This prayer doesn’t need to be an elaborate ritual. 

A simple conversation with God, sharing your anxieties, and asking for His peace to fill you is more than enough.

You will quickly feel calmer, and the urge to overeat will subside.

Let us remember that the next time we become stressed.

How Your Backyard Can Aid Your Fight Against Diabetes

God’s creation is a grand testament to His love for us.

He has given us every tool we need to remain healthy at any age.

I want to talk to you about a profound way to prevent diabetes naturally. Without spending a fortune on medication.

I came across a study from the University of Sydney on a quiet evening after I came back from my church.

I had been praying to God for ways to support my fellow Christians in my congregation.

Diabetes cannot be cured. And once you have it, it can lead to severe health challenges.

I had always been on the lookout for ways to fight it before it even happens.

And last week, our Lord brought this excellent piece of knowledge from the University of Sydney my way.

According to a study they performed there, activities as simple and pleasurable as gardening, brisk walking, or dancing can reduce the risk of diabetes.

By how much?

Well, this is the exciting part.

It minimizes diabetes risk by an astounding 75 percent.

This is what the researchers found when they observed 59,325 adults for seven years.

The author of the study and Associate Professor Melody Ding said his father was also suffering from type 2 diabetes.

So he was especially motivated to find a way to support him and every other person who has this terrible disease.

And his 7-year-old precision bore fruit.

He found that anyone can reduce the risk of diabetes, by simply doing activities like gardening.

Gardening is an excellent way to take care of our health, while also caring for God’s beautiful creations.

As we embrace the physical capacities God has gifted us, we can reduce our risks for diabetes and experience healthier, fuller journeys.

Let us keep this wisdom in mind, and stay active.
