God's Power for Our Battles — Sunday, March 15, 2026

He is Risen!

Happy Resurrection Sunday from Heartlight and Verse of the Day!

 Read 'Resurrection!'
Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.
— Revelation 3:10-11 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, some days it feels like I can’t hold on; it seems like I’m slipping away from You in spite of my heart's desire to trust and obey. I often let the cares of this present world overcome my desire to do good and be faithful. Forgive me, Lord, and help me to persevere. Help me to last even though it seems like I can’t; help me to keep going when it feels impossible; help me to look up when the world has got me down. You are my only hope, Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
