In today's fast-paced world, it can be all too easy for men to get caught up in the daily grind—providing for our families, excelling in our careers, and fulfilling endless responsibilities. Yet, in the midst of it all, we often forget the two most essential pillars that sustain us spiritually and emotionally: prayer and the Word of God.
The Importance of Spiritual Leadership
As men, we have been entrusted with leading and protecting our families. But how can we truly fulfill this role if we are not connected to the ultimate source of wisdom, strength, and guidance? The truth is, without daily prayer and immersion in God’s Word, we fall short of our potential as spiritual leaders in our homes. We leave ourselves vulnerable to the pressures and distractions of life, which in turn affects our ability to lead our families with the love, patience, and understanding that only God can provide.
My Personal Journey
In my personal journey, I’ve realized that when I neglect to study the Word and pray, I miss the opportunity to hear from God, to gain His wisdom, and to receive the peace that comes from His presence. This absence creates a ripple effect, impacting not only my spiritual life but the spiritual well-being of my family as well. When we as men disconnect from God, we inadvertently fail our families by not giving them the spiritual covering they need. I've seen it in my own life: disconnection from my wife, my daughters, and even my church. Everything becomes heavy, and my spiritual life takes a hit.
Birth of Life’s Happening Devotional
That’s why I felt compelled to write "Life’s Happening Devotional." This book was born from my heart’s desire for God during the COVID-19 pandemic, where I felt weak and powerless to protect my family. In my struggles, God showed up, guiding me back to His word and prayer.
A Call to Action: Reclaiming Our Role
As men, a lot is on our shoulders. This book was written to see men return to prayer and the Word of God, reclaiming our role as spiritual leaders in our homes. It is a tool to guide us back to the basics—spending time with God daily through prayer and Bible study, which empowers us to navigate life’s challenges with divine wisdom and strength.
"Life’s Happening Devotional" is not just another devotional book. It is an invitation to reconnect with the source of our strength and purpose. Whether you are struggling with consistency in your spiritual life or simply seeking a deeper connection with God, this devotional will be a great asset to help you return to the foundation of your faith—prayer and the Word.
Conclusion
Now is the time to rise up, take back our spiritual authority, and lead our families the way God intended. Let "Life’s Happening Devotional" be your guide on this journey. Your family needs you, and it all starts with prayer and the Word of God. Grab a copy of my newly released book and experience a deeper walk with God through life's challenges.”
