Category: 5 Minutes with God

  • Wield His Name

    ou were never meant to face the darkness in your own strength. When we encounter temptation, fear, injustice, corruption, or spiritual darkness, we can call upon Jesus. We aren’t powerful because we’re powerful. We stand because of Who stands with us. There is power in the name of Jesus because there is power in Jesus…

  • Recognize the Lure

    Sometimes the things that look good aren’t good for us. In fact, that’s often how temptation works—it looks appealing enough to make us reach for it before we recognize the danger attached to it. Seduction isn’t only sexual. It can be anything that attracts, entices, or tempts us away from God. The enemy rarely shows…

  • The Dedication of a Watchman

    After my dog was hit by a car, I was sure I was going to lose her. But later that night, we found our injured girl sitting in the back field—right back at her post, faithfully watching over us and our property. God used my beloved watchdog to teach me something about dedication, prayer, healing,…

  • A Little Time to Rest ❤️

    Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is stop, rest, and enjoy the life God has given us. ❤️ My husband and I are taking a much-needed vacation September 19–27, so 5 Minutes with God will be taking a little “day of rest” too. 😂 Rather than stressing myself out trying to work ahead,…

  • Don’t Delay Repentance

    Have you ever known you needed to repent but kept putting it off? Repentance doesn’t have to begin with a perfectly worded prayer. It begins with honesty: “Lord, I was wrong.” You don’t need to punish yourself first or spend days feeling terrible enough to prove you’re sorry. Acknowledge it. Confess it. Ask His forgiveness.…

  • Don’t Be Afraid to Share What He Gives You

    Sometimes receiving something from God is easier than having the courage to share it. What if people think I’m weird? What if they don’t understand? What if nobody wants to hear it? But fear of people’s reactions shouldn’t be the thing that decides whether we obey. God reminded me: “Don’t be afraid of the things…

  • Keep Drawing Near

    There is always more of God to discover. ❤️ As we continue seeking His heart and spending time in His presence, we begin recognizing Him in ways we couldn’t before. Seeking God isn’t about chasing experiences; it’s about pursuing relationship. The encounter isn’t the destination. He is. So keep seeking. Keep listening. Keep drawing near.…

  • You Will Never Regret Giving Him Your Time

    There are plenty of ways we can spend our time, but today the Lord gave me this simple promise: “You will never regret giving Me your time.” Time with God is never wasted. It changes the way we think, helps us recognize His voice, and gives Him room to comfort, teach, and redirect us. Someday,…

  • Learn From It, Then Let It Go

    There is a difference between learning from the past and living in it. Your past can teach you without controlling you. Your mistakes can make you wiser without becoming your identity. We can’t change yesterday. But we can allow God to use what happened yesterday to change how we walk with Him today. So take…

  • Are You Really Trying?

    Sometimes we genuinely don’t know what to do next. Other times, we know exactly what the next step is. We just don’t want to take it. God isn’t asking you to leap all the way to the finish line today. He’s asking you to take the next faithful step with Him. Today the Holy Spirit…
