Life is full of beautiful moments, but we often rush through them without noticing the fingerprints of God. In today's prayer and devotional, Chelsey DeMatteis shares a personal story of how God revealed His presence during a time of uncertainty and nervous anticipation. As she stepped into a new experience—traveling without her child for the first time—Chelsey asked the Lord to show Himself in the everyday details. He answered through both visible signs and heartfelt encouragement.
This devotional is a reminder that God wants to be seen and sought in our ordinary, daily moments. He delights when we boldly ask for His presence and pay attention to the ways He reveals His love and faithfulness. Whether through peace, kindness, or something as unexpected as a traced heart or late-night prayer, the Lord is near and active in our lives.
Today's Verse: 📖 Romans 10:13 – “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
