Day 02

I Believe God

“Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.”

Acts 27:22–25

Reflection

Paul was a prisoner on that ship with no authority over anyone, and he became the calmest person in the hold. In a crisis, one person's steadiness is a resource everybody else draws on.

Pray

Lord, make me the steady one in this room. Not falsely cheerful and not pretending — just steady enough that someone frightened can stand near me.

Amen.

Declare

My steadiness is something other people can borrow.

Today’s practice

Say one true, calm thing to someone who is frightened today. No forced optimism, no minimizing.
