The Power of Patience in Prayer

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 9/2/25

“Since ancient times no one has heard,
    no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” Isaiah 64:4

I have found that sometimes it seems like God is not answering my prayers when, in reality, He is asking me to wait and be patient.

This happened recently. I have been praying for over two years for guidance in an important decision. Guidance finally came when circumstances changed and the answer to my prayers became obvious. I had done the right thing by waiting. Sometimes, we just don’t have all the facts!

“… the fruit of the Spirit is … patience…” Galatians 5:22

Jesus said we should “pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1

5 Ways to Safeguard Your Child’s Faith

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Monday, 9/1/25

Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

My Thoughts: Worldly influences prey upon our children every day. They may come through TV, social media, schools, music, or books. How can we protect these little ones? Here’s a start:

  1. Pray for them.
  2. Teach them God’s Word.
  3. Take them to church.
  4. Protect them from propaganda as much as you are able.
  5. Have conversations with your child when controversial subjects come up, letting them know they can talk to you, unafraid. Listen to them carefully. Respond with love and gentleness.

In His Love, Cindy

The Blessing of Meekness

Cindy Dawson

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 8/10/25

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5

The Greek word for meek is praus. It means: gentle, meek, the positive moral quality of dealing with people kindly, with humility and consideration

Meekness … implies a humble acceptance of one’s lowly position before God. One day they will inherit the earth as they reign with Christ.” ( Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

“Confidence that one’s impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.”

The Power of God’s Love: Insights from Lamentations 3:21-24

Cindy Dawson

Verses for Meditation, 7/3/25

Israel had been decimated by Assyrian armies… Judah’s elite (including Daniel and his three Hebrew friends) had been deported to Babylon… The temple was obliterated, the walls of the city flattened. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Yet amid the devastation, the writer of Lamentations says,

“Yet this I call to mind
    and therefore I have hope:  Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”” Lamentations 3:21-24

Finding Hope: A Reflection on Psalm 130

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read for Friday, 6/20/25

“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.” Psalm 130:5-6 NIV (emphasis mine)

Commentary: The word hope in our present thinking most often carries the idea of wishful thinking, but in Biblical thought, hope was synonymous with certainty. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)
