The Jesus No One Talks About Pt. 2 Series: Clearing Space for Jesus | Monday Devotion

Send us Fan MailJesus walks into the temple and does something that feels almost backward to how we handle stress: he deals with the space first. Pastor Robert Young takes us to Matthew 21:13 “My house shall be called a house of prayer” and invites us to hear it as a word for our inner life, not just a moment in history. Before Jesus confronts corruption, he restores quiet. Before he challenges injustice, he makes room for presence. That sequence becomes a map for spiritual renewal when life feels crowded and prayer feels squeezed to the edges.We explore the idea that God often begins restoration by clearing space. The clutter is not only physical noise or busy calendars; it can be anxiety, bitterness, distraction, and the constant pressure to perform. If the heart is the temple, what has moved in and taken over the rooms that belong to prayer, presence, and rest? We slow down long enough to notice, because awareness is the first honest step toward change.This is also a practical, guided moment. You are invited to imagine Jesus placing a hand on your shoulder and saying, “Let’s make some room,” then to sit with a simple question: what is currently taking up the space in your heart that belongs to prayer, presence, and rest? We close with an affirmation you can carry into your week: “I make room for God, and God meets me in the space I open,” followed by a closing prayer to help you step back into your day with clarity.If this helped you breathe again, subscribe for more, share it with someone who feels spiritually crowded, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.Support the showRegister for Our Upcoming Live Virtual Meditation Retreat (9/25 & 9/26) here:[email protected] a voicemail question or prayer requests here:(585) 331-3424
