Take a Moment: Wk 5 Day 4 Devotion & Prayer From Pastor Batiste

Title: “Renewed in the Middle”

It’s possible to feel exhausted on the outside while being renewed on the inside. That’s what Paul describes—a strange but beautiful paradox. Life may be draining your energy, but God is pouring in strength at the soul level.

This kind of renewal doesn’t come from perfect circumstances—it comes from staying connected to the Source. You don’t have to wait for a better season to feel refreshed. You can experience renewal right in the middle of the storm.

Every day you wake up and say “God, I’m still here,” you invite new strength into old places.

Reflection: Are you seeking surface-level comfort or soul-deep renewal?

Prayer: Jesus, renew me in the places where I feel weak. Fill my spirit with what my strength can’t provide. Help me find peace in Your presence, not just relief from my problems. Amen.

"God doesn’t always change your situation, but He always offers strength to stand in it."
