pray for faith – we are seen and cherished by a loving Creator who calls us into His light and purpose.

Message: The passage presents a profound truth about identity and the nature of God’s love. The devil may recognize us by our faults, shame, and sin, seeking to define us by our mistakes. In contrast, God sees our true essence, our potential, and our worth as individuals. He knows our struggles, yet He calls us by name, inviting us into a relationship marked by grace and redemption. This distinction reminds us that our past does not dictate our future. We are not wholly defined by our wrongdoings; rather, we are seen and cherished by a loving Creator who calls us into His light and purpose. Embracing this truth empowers us to live freely, shedding the labels placed upon us by fear and guilt. We can step into a life filled with hope, knowing that each day offers a new opportunity to grow in faith and love. Our identity is rooted not in our imperfections but in the unconditional love that God extends to each of us, reminding us daily that we are worthy of His grace and mercy. Prayer: Heavenly Father, in the quiet moments of reflection, we come before You, acknowledging the weight of our insecurities and the names we have been called by those around us and even by ourselves. We thank You for the truth that Your love transcends our mistakes and the lies that the enemy attempts to sow in our hearts. In a world that often seeks to define us by our sins, help us to remember that You see us for who we truly are — children of God, cherished and loved. Lord, we pray for the strength to reject the labels that hold us back. Help us to embrace our true identity as Your beloved children. When doubt creeps in and we hear whispers of condemnation, remind us gently of Your infinite grace and the fact that You call us by name, not by our shortcomings. May we find solace in knowing that our sins do not define us, but rather, Your love reshapes us into who we are meant to be. As we navigate the challenges of life, may we continually seek to radiate Your love and light to those around us. Equip us to extend grace to others, just as we receive it from You. Let us be mirrors of Your mercy in a world that often feels cold and harsh. Guide us in walking boldly in our identity, that we may not only experience Your love deeply but also share it generously. Today, we surrender our fears, our pasts, and our sins to You, trusting in Your perfect plan for our lives. Help us to live as testimonies of Your goodness and to encourage others to step into the freedom of knowing they are called by name. We thank You for never abandoning us and for the assurance that no matter where we are or what we have done, You are ever-present, inviting us to draw closer to Your heart. In gratitude and faith, we lift our voices to You, Lord. Thank You for knowing our names and loving us despite our flaws. May our lives reflect the beauty of belonging to You. Amen.
