*5-day Daily Devotional* Cast your cares on Jesus, for He cares for you. Don't let anxiety choke out the Word. Abide in Christ, let His Word abide in you, and you'll bear fruit. It's too late for the enemy—you already know too much to stay the same. Keep your focus on God's promises. *Day 1: Abiding in Christ's Love* Reading: John 15:1-11 Devotional: Jesus uses the metaphor of a vine and branches to illustrate our relationship with Him. Just as branches must remain connected to the vine to bear fruit, we must stay connected to Christ to experience spiritual growth and fruitfulness. Today, reflect on what it means to "abide" in Christ. How can you intentionally stay connected to Him throughout your day? Remember, you are already clean because of the word Christ has spoken to you. Rest in His love and allow His words to remain in you, transforming your thoughts and actions. *Day 2: Casting Your Cares* Reading: 1 Peter 5:6-11 Devotional: Worry and anxiety can choke out the fruitfulness God desires for our lives. Peter encourages us to cast all our cares on God because He cares for us. This act of "casting" is more than just telling God about our worries - it's releasing them entirely into His capable hands. Today, practice humbling yourself under God's mighty hand by identifying your biggest concerns and consciously giving them over to Him. Trust that as you do this, He will lift you up in due time and equip you to stand firm against the enemy's attacks. *Day 3: The Power of God's Word* Reading: Luke 8:4-15 Devotional: In the parable of the sower, Jesus reveals how different heart conditions respond to the Word of God. The enemy seeks to snatch away the word, while cares and riches can choke it out. But those who hear the word, retain it, and persevere will produce a bountiful harvest. Examine your own heart today. Are there areas where the worries of life or the deceitfulness of wealth are choking out God's word? Ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate good soil in your heart, that you might bear fruit with patience and perseverance. *Day 4: Renewing Your Mind* Reading: Romans 12:1-2 Devotional: The battle against worry and unbelief often takes place in our minds. Paul urges us not to conform to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This renewal happens as we meditate on God's word and allow it to shape our thinking. Today, identify a worry or negative thought pattern in your life. Find a scripture that counters that thought and commit to meditating on it throughout the day. Allow God's truth to transform your perspective and align your thinking with His. *Day 5: Producing Fruit Through Trials* Reading: James 1:2-8 Devotional: James encourages us to consider trials as opportunities for joy, knowing they produce perseverance and maturity. However, he warns against being double-minded, as this instability hinders our prayers and spiritual growth. Reflect on a current challenge in your life. How might God be using this to produce spiritual fruit in you? Ask for wisdom to see your situation from God's perspective. Choose to remain steadfast in your faith, trusting that as you abide in Christ and His word abides in you, you will bear much fruit - even in the midst of difficulties.

*5-day Daily Devotional* Favour begins with grace, but grows through faithfulness. It's not random—it follows biblical character. Seek God's favour through humility, righteousness, and obedience. Like Jesus, may we grow in wisdom, stature, and favour with God and man. *Day 1: Growing in God's Favour* Reading: Luke 2:52, Proverbs 3:3-4 Devotional: Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and favour with God and man. This growth wasn't automatic - it was the result of intentional living. As we seek to grow in God's favour, we must cultivate wisdom through the fear of the Lord, develop godly character, and nurture relationships with both God and others. Reflect on areas where you need growth. How can you actively pursue wisdom today? In what ways can you demonstrate faithfulness in your relationships? Remember, favour is not just given, but earned through a life of obedience and integrity. Ask God to help you grow in ways that please Him and benefit others. *Day 2: The Power of Humility* Reading: James 4:6-10, 1 Peter 5:5-6 Devotional: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. It's recognising our dependence on God and our proper place in relation to Him and others. Consider areas in your life where pride might be hindering your relationship with God or others. How can you cultivate a more humble attitude today? Perhaps it's admitting a mistake, asking for help, or giving credit to others. Remember, humility positions us to receive God's grace and favour. Pray for God to reveal areas of pride in your life and for the strength to walk in humility. *Day 3: Living Righteously in an Unrighteous World* Reading: Genesis 6:5-9, 2 Peter 2:5 Devotional: Noah found favour with God in a world consumed by wickedness. He stood out because of his righteousness, blameless living, and faithful walk with God. In our increasingly secular world, standing for righteousness can feel isolating. Yet, like Noah, we're called to be "preachers of righteousness" through both our words and actions. Reflect on challenges you face in living righteously. How can you demonstrate God's standards in your workplace, family, or community? Ask God for the courage to stand firm in your convictions and for opportunities to influence others towards righteousness. *Day 4: Embracing God's Calling with Humility* Reading: Luke 1:26-38, 46-55 Devotional: Mary's response to God's calling exemplifies humility and obedience. Despite the enormity of being chosen as the mother of the Messiah, she humbly submitted to God's will. Her Magnificat reveals a heart that recognized God's favor and responded with praise. Consider how you respond to God's calling in your life. Are there areas where you're resisting out of fear or pride? How can you cultivate Mary's attitude of humble obedience? Pray for the grace to say "yes" to God's plans, even when they seem daunting or unclear. *Day 5: Stewarding God's Grace and Favour* Reading: Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 2:11-14 Devotional: While we're saved by grace through faith, we're also created for good works. God's favour isn't meant to make us complacent, but to empower us for righteous living and service. Grace teaches us to say "no" to ungodliness and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives. Reflect on how you're stewarding God's grace in your life. Are you using your gifts and opportunities to serve others and glorify God? How can you be more intentional about living out your faith today? Ask God to help you recognise His favour in your life and to use it for His purposes.

*5-day Daily Devotional* Jesus ever lives to intercede for you, that your faith fail not. He prays you'll see yourself as Benjamin (son of the right hand), not Benoni (son of sorrow). Don't let problems eclipse God's promises. Your faith is crucial. When weak, ask Jesus to pray for you. He is your high priest. *Day 1: The Power of Unwavering Faith* Reading: Luke 22:31-34 Devotional: Jesus' words to Peter reveal the spiritual battle we all face. Satan desires to sift us, to shake our faith to its core. But take heart! Jesus intercedes for us, praying that our faith will not fail. Today, reflect on areas where your faith feels challenged. Remember that Christ Himself is advocating for you, strengthening you to overcome. How does knowing Jesus is praying for you change your perspective on your struggles? *Day 2: From Sorrow to Strength* Reading: Genesis 35:16-20 Devotional: The story of Benjamin's birth shows how God can transform our sorrows into strength. Jacob renamed his son from "son of my sorrow" to "son of my right hand." Similarly, Christ bore our sorrows so we could become children of God's strength. Consider a current sorrow in your life. How might God be working to transform this into an area of spiritual strength? Pray for eyes to see beyond your current circumstances to God's greater purpose. *Day 3: The Wisdom of God in Christ* Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, Proverbs 3:13-18 Devotional: Paul reminds us that Christ is our wisdom from God. This wisdom isn't just knowledge, but righteousness, holiness, and redemption. The Proverbs describe wisdom as more precious than riches, offering both long life and honor. How have you experienced Christ as your wisdom? In what areas do you need to rely more fully on His wisdom rather than your own understanding? Ask God to reveal areas where you can apply His wisdom today. *Day 4: Standing in Times of Trial* Reading: Acts 7:54-60 Devotional: Stephen's martyrdom shows us a powerful example of faith in the face of extreme opposition. Even as he was being stoned, Stephen saw Jesus standing at God's right hand. This image of Christ standing, rather than sitting, speaks to His active involvement in our trials. When have you felt Jesus "standing" with you in difficulty? How can Stephen's example inspire you to maintain your faith in challenging times? *Day 5: Our Interceding High Priest* Reading: Hebrews 7:23-28 Devotional: The book of Hebrews emphasizes Jesus' ongoing role as our High Priest. Unlike earthly priests, Jesus lives forever to intercede for us. This means that at every moment, in every struggle, Jesus is advocating on your behalf before the Father. How does this reality change the way you approach prayer? Take time to thank Jesus for His constant intercession, and bring your deepest needs before Him, knowing He is already praying for you.
