Abandoning God is easier than we'd like to admit. In this raw, vulnerable episode, I share a deeply personal struggle from the past week when overwhelming stress, financial challenges, and parenting responsibilities led me to temporarily walk away from the very source of my peace.
It's a pattern I've repeated—much like ancient Israel in Judges 10, who enjoyed forty-plus years of peace under godly leadership before turning back to false gods. The parallels are striking and humbling. Just as God allowed Israel to experience the natural consequences of their choices until they genuinely repented, I felt the physical manifestation of my spiritual wandering through severe back spasms that literally brought me to my knees.
If you're feeling abandoned, remember—God hasn't left you. Perhaps it's time to examine who actually walked away? Join me in this devotional that asks the critical question: Are you ready to spiritually move back home to God?

Hello, hello.
You're listening to the JesseMorgan Devotions for the
Christian Heart Podcast, episode57.
This week's devotional istitled when you Abandon God,
let's go.
Hi, I'm Jesse Morgan.
I used to just share home decorand renovation tips on social
media, but now I'm sharingsomething even closer to my
(00:21):
heart my journey and love forJesus Christ, my Savior.
Welcome to the Jesse MorganDevotions for the Christian Hot
Podcast.
This is a weekly devotional.
I started back in May 2024, butthe inspiration for it came
much earlier.
It was rooted in a faithjourney that began when my
daughter was born four monthsearly in 2023.
Through that challenging time,god worked in ways that truly
(00:43):
amazed me.
On this podcast, I sharepersonal stories of faith, woven
together with scripture to showjust how incredible God's word
can be in our everyday lives.
My hope is that through thesestories, you'll be encouraged,
uplifted and reminded of God'slove and presence, no matter
what you're going through.
So I invite you to spend lessthan 15 minutes with me each
(01:05):
week as we reflect on thesedevotionals together.
Let's all pray within when youAbandon God.
Key Passages Judges 10, episode57.
Welcome back to the podcast.
This week's episode is veryvulnerable and, honestly, it's
(01:26):
one I really didn't expect toshare so soon, but here we are.
So let's call it what it iswhen you abandon God.
I did it again.
I abandoned God this past week,and not for the first time.
I've done it before, over andover again, just like Israel,
sinning over and over again andasking God to deliver them over
(01:50):
and over again.
And I'm human, but stillsometimes I look in the mirror
and say, girl, get it together.
Well, anyways, this past weekhas been really hard.
Work has been nonstop jugglingmultiple programs, deadlines,
meetings.
It feels like a hamster wheelthat never stops spinning, even
(02:13):
when I'm off or on vacation.
My work doesn't pause theprograms I manage.
They just keep going and goingand going.
And then I need to focus onhome.
I'm a mom to a toddler, mysweet, busy little girl.
I love her.
I'm trying to keep her on aroutine to ensure she continues
(02:34):
to progress.
Well, since she was, you know,a micro preemie and just like
work, that doesn't stop either,not until bedtime, and all of it
starts over again the nextmorning.
So yeah, I've been overwhelmed,but then the enemy crept in and
I felt it.
(02:54):
Satan knows exactly how to getto me and this time he came for
my peace mentally, spirituallyand through three of the biggest
triggers for me finances, billsand misinformation.
Let me explain.
This week I've been fighting anincorrect therapy bill for Sage
(03:14):
.
Then, out of nowhere, we getnotified that we're late on our
car note, which we're not.
The dealership added these wildfees and labeled us delinquent.
It was a mess, something thatcould have hit our credit if we
didn't fix it fast.
I literally crawled in a corner, sat down and cried.
I was tired, done.
(03:37):
And then last Friday hit.
I had a scary episode severe,severe back spasms like I've
never felt before.
I had to call for help.
By Saturday they were prettymuch gone.
I was still in some pain, butthen that's when it hit me.
It was stress.
I was holding on to so much,trying to figure out everything
(04:00):
by myself, trying to carry itinstead of surrendering it.
Then my husband God bless himlooked at me and said Jess, he
never really calls me Jess, hecalls me.
You know pet names and lovenames.
So for him to say my name, hewas serious.
He said Jess, look at whatwe've accomplished this year.
(04:21):
All of it happened because ofGod.
He's going to take care ofthese bills.
Please don't stress, you knowwhat.
My husband is just so calm, theexact opposite of me.
That's what makes us work, Ithink, his faith and mentality.
(04:42):
It just grounds me all overagain and I realized right then
I was sinning, I had abandonedGod.
I was walking in fear, anxietyand pride.
I was walking in fear, anxietyand pride, thinking I could
solve it all by myself.
But this past Tuesday morningit just something shifted and I
(05:02):
walked into my office and Ididn't just pray, I praised.
I praised God in advance.
I thanked him for the miraclesI hadn't seen yet.
I thanked him that the car noteissue was already resolved.
I praised him that the therapybilling issues for Sage was
already taken care of.
I praised him like it wasalready done.
(05:25):
That moment was surrender, thatmoment was repentance.
That moment was repentance,that moment was peace.
And that brings me to Judges,chapter 10.
It's a short chapter but itsays so much.
It opens up with two judgesmentioned Tola, who led Israel
(05:49):
for 23 years, and Jair, who ledfor 22 years, that's over 40
years of peace, no oppression,no chaos, just rest.
But when they died, israelabandoned God again.
Here's what it says in Judges10, 6-7.
(06:09):
I'm reading from the NIVversion.
Again, the Israelites did evilin the eyes of the Lord.
They served the Baals and theAshereths, and because the
Israelites forsook the Lord andno longer served him, he became
angry with them.
He sold them into the hands ofthe Philistines and the
Ammonites.
Wow, they didn't just mess up.
(06:30):
They walked away from the onewho gave them peace, who gave
them the promised land.
And what did God do in return?
He abandoned them.
Finally, he let them feel theweight of their choices.
Israel cried out for 18 years,though they were oppressed, and
at first God didn't responduntil this, judges 10, 15
(06:55):
through 16, it says.
But the Israelites said to theLord we have sinned.
Do with us whatever you like,whatever you think best, but
please rescue us now.
Then they got rid of theforeign gods among them and
served the Lord, and God couldbear Israel's misery no longer.
You see, god saw their heartshad turned back to him.
(07:19):
They didn't just cry out, theytook action.
They removed the idols and theyreturned to the Lord and God.
He couldn't bear that miseryany longer.
That hit me hard because I sawmyself in that I had been
sinning in my worry, stressingover things I know God has
already handled for me in thepast.
(07:40):
He's shown up time and timeagain, and yet I still walked
away.
But then I turned around.
I removed my idol, which wasworry.
I laid it at his feet, justlike Israel removed Baal and
other false gods, and God beinggood, loving father that he is
stepped in again.
(08:01):
He blessed us, just like heblessed Israel.
He began resolving the veryissues I cried about just days
earlier.
Not everything is perfect rightnow, but my faith is rebuilding
and God has already fixed somany things, and God is walking
right beside me again.
(08:22):
So I ask you this why do weabandon God when he's the only
one who never abandons us?
Why do we walk away from thevery source of our peace?
How do we keep the bond strongwhen life feels like it's just
too much?
Let's stop leaving God behindin our stress and instead let's
(08:43):
lean on him, especially when itgets hard, you know, because
he's the alpha and omega, theonly one who can truly deliver
us.
So I'll leave you with thisquestion Are you ready to
spiritually move back in withGod?
He hasn't left you.
Will you stop abandoning him?
Let's pray.
(09:06):
Heavenly Father, thank you fornever abandoning us, even when
we abandon you.
Thank you for being a constantpresence in our chaos, our
stress and even our silence.
God forgive us for the times welet worry, fear and pride take
the place of your peace, of yourrefuge.
Lord, we lay down every burdentoday, every financial concern,
(09:29):
every unanswered question, everysource of stress.
We give it to you.
You are our deliverer, justlike you were for Israel.
You're the God who sees us,hears us, believes in us and
still chooses to rescue us.
Help us to praise you inadvance, even when outcome
hasn't come yet.
Help us remember that faithisn't about what we can fix.
(09:52):
It's about who we can trust.
We love you, lord, and wepraise you, and we need you
always.
In Jesus' name, we pray amen.
Till next time, everyone, we'llbe covering our next judge, god
bless.
Well.
That wraps up this week'sepisode.

Welcome back to Jesse MorganDevotions for the Christian
(11:03):
Heart Behind the Scenes.
I was kind of iffy about doing aBehind the Scenes this week
because I at first felt like Ididn't have that much to say.
Hopefully you guys reallyenjoyed this week's devotional.
Didn't have that much to say.
Hopefully you guys reallyenjoyed this week's devotional,
and I just wanted to come onhere and just be really real.
This has really been one of thetoughest weeks in my adulthood
(11:24):
I mean, aside from, you know, mydaughter being born at 23 weeks
.
It was just mentallychallenging.
And as I sit back and I thinkabout it, I'm disappointed in
myself because I'm sitting heretrying to build this platform,
showcasing my faith, how amazingGod has been to me and
(11:45):
encouraging others to reallybelieve in God, witnessing to
people, getting people tobelieve in Jesus Christ, and I'm
sitting here going through areally tough spiritual battle
and like abandoning God and likebasically not even like
forgetting how great he's beento me.
But you know what?
I wanted to be honest about it,because we're human, we're not
(12:08):
perfect.
I'm not perfect and it's justbeen really hard and I I think a
new exercise for me that I do,a spiritual exercise that I do
is I started to I'm going tokeep going with this but I
started listing like list.
I started listing all themiracles or blessings God has
(12:31):
done for me and the list canjust keep going.
And sometimes, when I'm justlike down and out, I go back now
and I look at that list ofblessings and I'm just like, wow
, god, you have done so much forme and it keeps going.
Because it just keepscontinuing.
(12:51):
It's not like it stops unlessI'm not doing what I'm supposed
to do.
That's the only time.
And if you see that pattern ofsomething like seems like things
aren't just going well, thatmight be because you've walked
away from God, you've abandonedhim, or you're doing some things
that you know you're notsupposed to be doing.
And it keeps you in check.
So you know, we list out onresumes all our experience,
(13:12):
right?
We list out you know why we'regood for this job.
Why wouldn't we list out whatGod's done for us?
And it's a way to be thankfuland realize that God is
continuous, you know, and it'sanother way to just praise him
for what he's done for you inthe past and to me.
It changed my attitude, itlightens my mood.
(13:32):
I got to keep doing it,constant and consistently, so I
can hold myself accountablespiritually, and it also can
steer me in the direction of youknow what?
I'm going through a tough time,but God's got me, and you know
what.
Sometimes too, you got to putdown the blessings that are just
little, like it doesn't mean,it doesn't seem like it's a huge
thing, but it could meansomething so powerful later on.
(13:55):
You know, like I mean, I wentthrough a situation where I had
this, really, this really youngkid.
He's nice kid, he washes ourcars, he's the nicest guy.
He literally just knocked on mydoor one day and said, hey, you
know, do you need somebody towash your car?
And I don't know.
I just God laid it on my spiritto say yes and he's been
(14:15):
absolutely a blessing.
He's just trying to get someextra money and he's been great.
One day he was here.
My grandfather's truck is just Imean, that thing hasn't been
cleaned in 20 years.
And he allowed this, this guythat cleans my car to clean his
truck, and you know he did itfor free.
I was like okay, whatever.
(14:41):
But you know what I think tomyself now.
What a blessing, because mygrandfather called me last week
and said, hey, I'm getting upthere in age.
Do you know that kid that didthe car?
He's like I just really thinkhe did a great job and this and
this, and could he come clean mycar?
And you know what?
I don't think much of it, butwhat a blessing that was to find
somebody that my grandfathertrusts with his cars.
It takes a lot for mygrandfather to not do things
since he's older and it was justsuch a blessing that I found
(15:04):
somebody that works, that youknow cleans my car, that also
now cleans his car, and that'sone less burden that my
grandfather has to deal with,because you know he's getting
over losing my grandmother andhe just it just light.
It just brightened his day thathis cars are clean.
It just gave him an extra pepin his step.
Like what a blessing that is.
That's so little but that meansso much, you know.
(15:25):
So just count your blessings,as people would say, but write
them down so it's a visual andif the list is like miles long.
Great, if the list is threethings, then you know what.
Maybe you're not looking at thesmall things as blessings, but
that's just a new exercise Istarted doing and I encourage
(15:45):
you to look at it like that aswell.
Thank you so much again for allthe support.
We're going to continue judges.
We have about a couple of moreleft and we know that we're
going to be concluding thisstudy with Samson, which is
obviously a very famous judge,and actually into Samuel, which
is also considered a judge aswell.
God bless, till next time.

everything.

Why wouldn't we list out whatGod's done for us?
And it's a way to be thankfuland realize that God is
continuous, you know, and it'sanother way to just praise him
for what he's done for you inthe past and to me.
It changed my attitude, itlightens my mood.
(13:32):
I got to keep doing it,constant and consistently, so I
can hold myself accountablespiritually, and it also can
steer me in the direction of youknow what?
I'm going through a tough time,but God's got me, and you know
what.
Sometimes too, you got to putdown the blessings that are just
little, like it doesn't mean,it doesn't seem like it's a huge
thing, but it could meansomething so powerful later on.
(13:55):
You know, like I mean, I wentthrough a situation where I had
this, really, this really youngkid.
He's nice kid, he washes ourcars, he's the nicest guy.
He literally just knocked on mydoor one day and said, hey, you
know, do you need somebody towash your car?
And I don't know.
I just God laid it on my spiritto say yes and he's been
(14:15):
absolutely a blessing.
He's just trying to get someextra money and he's been great.
One day he was here.
My grandfather's truck is just Imean, that thing hasn't been
cleaned in 20 years.
And he allowed this, this guythat cleans my car to clean his
truck, and you know he did itfor free.
I was like okay, whatever.
(14:41):
But you know what I think tomyself now.
What a blessing, because mygrandfather called me last week
and said, hey, I'm getting upthere in age.
Do you know that kid that didthe car?
He's like I just really thinkhe did a great job and this and
this, and could he come clean mycar?
And you know what?
I don't think much of it, butwhat a blessing that was to find
somebody that my grandfathertrusts with his cars.
It takes a lot for mygrandfather to not do things
since he's older and it was justsuch a blessing that I found
(15:04):
somebody that works, that youknow cleans my car, that also
now cleans his car, and that'sone less burden that my
grandfather has to deal with,because you know he's getting
over losing my grandmother andhe just it just light.
It just brightened his day thathis cars are clean.
It just gave him an extra pepin his step.
Like what a blessing that is.
That's so little but that meansso much, you know.
(15:25):
So just count your blessings,as people would say, but write
them down so it's a visual andif the list is like miles long.
Great, if the list is threethings, then you know what.
Maybe you're not looking at thesmall things as blessings, but
that's just a new exercise Istarted doing and I encourage
(15:45):
you to look at it like that aswell.
Thank you so much again for allthe support.
We're going to continue judges.
