The first day of October deserves more than a fresh calendar—so we set the tone with a focused morning prayer anchored in Luke 16:10: be faithful in little. We praise God for who He is, ask for cleansing and clarity, and then press into the daily practices that turn conviction into change. From “saints beyond Sunday” to steady time in Scripture and prayer, we map out what quiet obedience looks like when no one’s watching and why those small choices open doors to greater stewardship.
We lean into stability with Psalm 1’s rooted tree—planted, nourished, and fruitful in season—and speak resilience over disappointments and delays. Together we break cycles that waste focus, release relationships that hold us back, and lay down the excuses that keep us from growing. With economic uncertainty and headlines looming, we lift our eyes and call God by His name—Jehovah Jireh. The wilderness story returns as a living promise: if God sustained a nation with manna, shade, warmth, and shoes that didn’t wear out, He can stretch your resources, keep your pantry supplied, and open paths you can’t yet see.
Gratitude replaces heaviness as we declare God’s kingship over leaders, wars, and the unknowns of a new month. We speak expectation over October—turnaround, provision, and progress—and embrace the divine math of agreement: one can chase a thousand; two, ten thousand. We also share how to access the full devotional that inspired this prayer and invite you into corporate prayer rhythms that keep momentum alive. Join us, set your “little things” for the month, and let’s watch what God entrusts to faithful hands. If this encourages you, follow, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review so more people find this space of prayer and hope.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
