Hello people of God, Once again, we apologize for our short pause in our God Pauses and Daily Devotions. You can view the ones you have missed at Facebook or just prepare for the upcoming Devotions and God Pauses coming! God's Peace, The Faith Lutheran Church Online Media Team

Gracious God, out of your love and mercy you breathed into dust the breath of life, creating us to serve you and our neighbors. Call forth our prayers and acts of kindness and strengthen us to face our mortality with confidence in the mercy of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

A Blessing to Breathe Today . Long before we had words for anxiety or exhaustion, the Church prayed blessings like this... slow, steady, and full of hope. A reminder that we are not held by fear… but by God Himself. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you.” — Numbers 6:24–26

Oh, Wondrous Image, Vision Fair (Evangelical Lutheran Worship 316) 1 O wondrous image! O vision fair Of glory that the Church may share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 With Moses and Elijah nigh The incarnate Lord holds converse high; And from the cloud the Holy One Bears record to the only Son. 3 With shining face and bright array Christ deigns to manifest today What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God with perfect love.

Love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a way of being shaped by God. A love that carries. A love that stays. A love that chooses hope, even when it costs something. May these words guide how we love today... with patience, courage, and grace.

FORGIVENESS I choose to forgive them—no matter what. Not because they deserved it, not because the pain didn’t matter, but because my heart deserves peace. Their actions don’t get to hold me hostage.
