We often face moments in our lives filled with uncertainty and doubt. Whether it be grappling with life’s unexpected challenges, feeling the weight of loss, or navigating periods of transition, these times can leave us feeling vulnerable and alone. But amidst these trials, we are invited to draw upon a source of strength that never wavers God’s enduring power.
Consider saying aloud to yourself, “I was bought and cleansed from sin with a price; purchased with a preciousness; paid for and made God’s own.” This simple affirmation reminds us of the profound truth: you are delivered from sin and all the “death” it brings with it.
Ephesians 6:10 KJV: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”
An important secret to being successful in any task that is set before you is to draw on God’s strength. Your strength will run out eventually, but God’s strength never will. Many times in my life, I have faced situations not knowing what to do, but God always helped me and brought me through to a place of victory. Each time, He met me with His strength that I desperately needed to be successful. You can expect God to do the same for you no matter what challenges you are facing right now.
God is your strength! Ephesians 6:10 assures us that God will pour strength into our lives as we live in close relationship with Him. And the prophet Isaiah says that those who have learned the secret of waiting on the Lord “shall mount up with wings as eagles” (see Isaiah 40:31 KJV). These scriptures, and others like them, show us that we are strengthened as we go to God for what we are lacking.
God has promised to never leave us or forsake us. He is with us each step of our journey, and He gives us the strength we need when we need it.
Father God, I know You want to do more than just give me strength—You want to be my strength. Thank You for that strength, amen.

Welcome to a special place where we think about God as the day ends. We believe every evening is a chance to think about our day and be thankful. Our goal is to give you a calm place to feel close to God.
At Sacred Evenings, we are a group of people who love to share the beauty of quiet moments with God. We have stories, devotional, short prayers, and thoughts that help you think about God. We want you to feel the magic of every evening.
Our journey is based on the Bible verse, “Be still, and know that I am God…” (Psalm 46:10). We invite you to stop, breathe, and find God as the day ends. When the sun goes down and it gets quiet, we believe these evenings are a gift. They remind us of God’s love and invite us to be closer to Him.
Join us on this journey of faith and thinking deeply. Whether you need help, comfort, or a quiet moment, you are welcome here. Let’s enjoy these special evenings together, as we get closer to God and each other.
