MY Devotional: Daily Biblical Encouragement & Prayer from Leading The Way

Faith is a daily muscle every believer must exercise—but God also gives some Christians a special gift of faith that strengthens the whole body. Dr. Michael Youssef shows how Spirit-gifted faith sees God’s will as certain, even when circumstances scream “impossible.”

When deliverance feels delayed, it’s easy to wonder if God has forgotten you—but Scripture says He hears, He knows, and He is working. Dr. Michael Youssef encourages you to choose hope, trust God’s timing, and remain unconditionally obedient as He prepares you for what’s next.

When God allows you to remain in a hard place, He may be growing your faith—not wasting your time. Dr. Michael Youssef points to Joseph’s long “dungeon” season and Jesus’ surrender in Gethsemane to show how prayer shifts from escape to obedience.

Joseph’s story proves that God can turn betrayal, delays, and forgotten seasons into saving purpose. Dr. Michael Youssef encourages you to trust God’s timeline—because what others intend for harm, God intends for good.

Your salvation isn’t held together by your grip on God—it’s held together by God’s grip on you. Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks Jude’s closing benediction and the Jewish wedding picture that proves Jesus will keep His bride secure until the day He presents her spotless to the Father.

Scoffers and deceivers thrive when believers grow careless with Scripture and prayer. Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks Jude’s end-of-letter strategy for spiritual resilience—discern truth quickly, pray in the Spirit, stay close to God’s love, and show mercy to doubters.

False teachers may look harmless, but Jude says they’re hidden reefs—quietly wrecking faith beneath the surface. Dr. Michael Youssef explains Jude’s vivid warnings and reminds believers: the milquetoast Jesus of apostates is not the Jesus of Scripture—King Jesus is coming to judge.

False teachers don’t usually announce themselves—they blend in while subtly twisting the Gospel. Dr. Michael Youssef highlights Jude’s three Old Testament warning signs—Cain, Balaam, and Korah—so you can recognize deception and contend for the faith with confidence.

One day, every believer will see Jesus face to face—and the joy will be beyond words. Dr. Michael Youssef uses a moving story to remind you that Christ is coming soon, and today is the day to be ready.

Hell is a detestable doctrine—but the real question is whether it’s true. Dr. Michael Youssef explains why God’s mercy in the cross makes hell all the more sobering, and why Revelation couples its warning with an urgent invitation to the water of life.
