Entering a New Season Rooted in God | Your Nightly Prayer
A new season can make life feel scattered fast.
New schedules.
New expectations.
New responsibilities.
New things demanding your attention.
But a tree does not grow strong by chasing every gust of wind.
It grows strong by going deeper.
Jeremiah 17:7–8 says those who trust in the Lord are like trees planted beside water, with roots that reach deep.
Before you try to fix everything on the surface this season, ask God to strengthen your foundation.
Share your reflections on today’s devotional in the Your Daily Prayer discussion on the Crosswalk Forum.
