MOTIVATIONAL: Running on Empty? Here's How to Refuel Your Faith!


Hey Reader

Happy Monday!

Have you ever felt like you’re running on empty—spiritually, emotionally, or even physically? Life has a way of pulling us in so many directions that we forget to refill our own cup. I remember watching a video from Bill Devall talking about how his therapist had to remind him that the scripture, Psalm 23:5...
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” says nothing about tilting your cup:

People are supposed to receive from your overflow, not the tilt of your cup. You can’t pour from an empty vessel, and God never intended for you to run on fumes. But the good news? God never runs out of strength, and He is ready to pour into you.

Scripture of the Week:

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” – Psalm 23:5

God wants to fill you to overflowing, not just enough to get by. When you rest in Him, He renews your strength so you can pour into others from abundance, not exhaustion.

Journal Prompt:

Where in your life have you been giving from a place of emptiness? Write a prayer asking God to refill you so that you can serve from a place of overflow, not depletion.

You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. Pause, pray, and allow God to restore your soul—because you were made to run over, not run out.

Have an amazing week on purpose, Reader!

Hey Reader, This Mother’s Day, I’m reflecting on a journey that’s been anything but easy, but it’s also been filled with unexpected blessings and proof that God’s promises never fail. Last year, I shared something deeply personal, a moment I’d waited years to experience. After loss and seasons of doubt, I finally revealed that I was carrying the baby girl God promised us. I'm still in awe of how God answered. He didn't have to do it, but He did. And, I can't thank Him enough. Sometimes, life...

Hey Reader Happy Monday to You! Recently, I shared a post on Instagram about recognizing the voice of God—and wow, I was blown away by how many resonated with this struggle. It's a journey, isn't it? One that's both deeply personal and incredibly vital to our faith walk. I know firsthand how challenging it can be. There are moments I find myself asking, "Lord, are You even speaking to me?" But here's the beautiful truth: God is always speaking. Sometimes, though, we need to fine-tune our...

Hey Reader, Happy March! Scripture for the Month: “ “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” — Isaiah 43:19 As we step into... a new month, I want to remind you of a powerful promise from God: Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, waiting for a breakthrough, or wondering if God is still working in your life. Let this be your confirmation—He is making a way, even in the most impossible situations. “...
