Take a Moment: Wk 3 Day 1 Devotion & Prayer From Pastor Batiste

Title: The Struggle Is Proof

Devotion:

Even Paul struggled to live up to what he knew was right. The fight within you isn’t a license to stay stuck—it’s a call to keep growing. The fact that you’re wrestling with sin is a sign that your heart is still tender toward God. But don’t confuse grace with permission. Grace empowers you to rise above, not remain beneath. Struggle doesn’t make sin okay—it makes dependence on Christ essential.

Reflect:

What area are you battling in that you’ve grown tired of confronting? How can you invite Christ into that fight today?

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for not giving up on me. Help me not to excuse my sin but to fight it with Your strength. Amen.

"Struggle isn’t permission to stay the same—it’s the push to keep pursuing change through Christ."
