I don't know what today looks like for you: if you have a feast planned, or if you're scraping the cupboards...if your family is nourishing your heart, or the source of pain.
But however this note finds you, I want you to know this:
💗 Your Father in heaven cares deeply for you (1 Peter 5:7) 🎁 He is the source of everything good and beautiful in your life (James 1:17) 🫂He is close to you—no matter how you're feeling or what you've done (Acts 17:27) 👰♀️God calls you His beloved (Colossians 3:12)
I hope that today (whether you're celebrating, grieving, or going to work), you sense His love and nearness.
And if you’re not sure how to carry these truths into the rest of your day, try writing them down! A simple prayer journal entry—your worries, your gratitude, or even just a few honest sentences—can create space for God to meet you right where you are. ✍️
Are you new to prayer journaling? We put together a blog post with helpful ideas (and a free guide to get you started!).
P.S. For this weekend only, you'll get 50% off the How To Prayer Journal digital course when you buy the prayer journal—get yours today! 💖
Feeling Overwhelmed By The News? The Pour Over Offers Peace 🫖
Staying informed shouldn’t leave you anxious. Yet for many of us, today’s news cycle feels heavy. Is it really possible to stay up to date and stay rooted in joy and peace?
Here's what one Coffee and Bible Time listener shared:
"Keeping up with the news used to feel like a drain on my peace of mind. I struggled to find a news source that didn't leave me feeling scared, angry, or powerless—until I found The Pour Over.
I love that with every headline, there are corresponding verses and prompts to turn to God for His help and wisdom. I don't feel scared to keep up with the news anymore."
