A single verse can reframe a whole day. We open with Matthew 4:10—“Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only”—and let that command guide a full arc of praise, confession, intercession, and practical devotion. The morning moves from gratitude for ordinary gifts to a bold request for a clean heart and a steady mind, then widens to cover our youth, our elders, and the leaders shaping church and community life. The aim is simple and serious: align our hearts with God and let His Word lead every decision.
We press into the needs of the next generation, asking God to guard them from violence, addiction, and despair while teaching us to mentor with love instead of judgment. Then we honor the wisdom of older saints and call for mutual respect that bridges the gap—mentorship that flows in both directions, ministries that see the value of every age, and a church culture where memory and momentum move together. From there, we pray for faith leaders to stand on truth without compromise and for civic leaders to act with integrity, transparency, and compassion. We ask God to expose corruption, break strongholds that distort choices, and give decision-makers a genuine heart for people.
If temptation and fear have been loud, the devotional offers a clear strategy: fight with the Word. Jesus didn’t argue; He quoted Scripture—sharp, decisive, and powerful. We challenge ourselves to memorize, speak, and believe God’s promises, because authority begins where God has spoken. As we look toward the weekend, we ask for anointing in our services, divine appointments with people searching for a church home, and courage to invite them into a community of faith. Join us, be strengthened in prayer, and carry “It is written” into every battle you face. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the prayer they need today.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
