Day 1: Finding Strength in Solitude
Reading: Mark 1:35-39
Devotional: Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray, even when crowds were seeking Him. In our busy world, it's easy to neglect quiet time with God. Yet it's in these moments of solitude that we find strength, clarity, and purpose. Today, carve out 15 minutes of uninterrupted time with God. Silence your phone, find a quiet space, and simply be still in His presence. As you do, reflect on areas of your life where you need God's guidance. Remember, it's not about having all the answers, but about connecting with the One who does.

Day 2: Breathing Deeply in God's Presence
Reading: Isaiah 40:1-8
Devotional: The prophet Isaiah speaks of God's comfort and the transient nature of earthly things compared to the enduring word of God. Just as we learned about the Church at Godly Station being called to "breathe deeply," take time today to practice this literally and spiritually. Find a comfortable position and take several deep, slow breaths. With each inhale, imagine drawing in God's peace and strength. With each exhale, release your worries and fears. As you breathe, meditate on the phrase "the word of our God endures forever." In a world of constant change, how does this truth anchor your soul?

Day 3: Trusting God in Uncertainty
Reading: Psalm 46:1-11
Devotional: This Psalm reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Billy Graham in their moments of doubt, we too face times of uncertainty. But God invites us to "be still and know that I am God" (v.10). Today, identify an area of your life where you're struggling to trust God. Write it down, then symbolically place that paper in your Bible at Psalm 46. Each time you see it, remind yourself to be still and trust in God's sovereign control.

Day 4: Embracing God's Comfort
Reading: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7
Devotional: Paul speaks of the God of all comfort, who comforts us so that we can comfort others. Reflect on a time when you experienced God's comfort in a difficult situation. How did that experience equip you to comfort others? Today, reach out to someone who might be struggling and share an encouraging word or act of kindness. Remember, as we breathe deeply of God's comfort, we're called to exhale that same comfort to a hurting world.

Day 5: Living with Eternal Perspective
Reading: Colossians 3:1-4
Devotional: Paul urges us to set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. This echoes Isaiah's words about the temporary nature of earthly life compared to God's eternal word. In light of eternity, how might your priorities shift? Take time to list your top five priorities. Now, prayerfully consider how these align with eternal values. Ask God to help you "breathe deeply" of His eternal perspective, allowing it to infuse your daily decisions and interactions. As you go through your day, practice viewing each situation through the lens of eternity.
