A Heart
Reawakened
"The Lord is honest and good. He teaches sinners to walk in his ways."
Psalm 25:8, NIrV
Logan had been a "Sunday Christian" for as long as they could remember. Church was a routine, not a refuge. Every Sunday, they sat in the same pew, sang the same songs, and listened to sermons that washed over them without sticking. Faith, for Logan, had become a checkbox on the weekly to-do list.
Lately, though, the motions felt emptier than ever. The prayers at dinner were mechanical, the Bible on the nightstand was gathering dust, and the church felt more like a social club than a house of worship. Logan often asked themselves, "Is this all there is to faith?"
One Sunday, Logan was tempted to skip church entirely but felt a nudge to go. The guest preacher, a soft-spoken woman with an infectious joy, began to share her testimony. She spoke of how God had met her in her deepest doubts and rekindled her faith. Her words weren’t lofty or rehearsed—they were raw and real.
Something shifted in Logan as the preacher said, “God isn’t just for the lost outside these walls; He’s here for those of us who’ve grown cold inside them. He wants to teach us, guide us, and set our hearts on fire again.” Logan’s chest tightened as tears welled up in their eyes.
That evening, Logan opened their Bible for the first time in months, flipping through Psalms until Psalm 25:8 stopped them in their tracks: “The Lord is honest and good. He teaches sinners to walk in his ways.”
Logan whispered a prayer, their voice shaking. “Lord, I’ve been so lost in my comfort. Teach me again. I don’t want to just know about You; I want to know You.”
In the weeks that followed, Logan began to pray with purpose, join a small group, and read Scripture with curiosity and longing. They even found themselves sharing their struggles and rediscovered faith with others, something they’d never imagined doing.
Logan realized that faith wasn’t about perfect attendance or saying the right words—it was about letting God lead them, even when they thought they already knew the way.
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Thank You for being honest and good, even when we wander through life on autopilot.
Like Logan, we sometimes lose sight of what it means to truly know You.
Teach us, Lord. Rekindle our hearts with a passion for Your Word and a desire to walk in Your ways.
Help us to see faith not as a duty but as a relationship full of love and purpose.
Guide us to seek You with sincerity and to share Your light with others.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
