Daily Hope with Pastor John S. Dickerson

Can one parent's faith change the future? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the story of Abigail Adams and the spiritual habits she instilled in her son, John Quincy Adams, who would later become one of America's most influential leaders. As the turmoil of war surrounded their family, Abigail taught her son to trust God, pray daily, and build his life on Scripture. Her example reminds us that revival is not only sustained through churches and movements—it is passed from one generation to the next through faithful parents, grandparents, and mentors. If you're raising children, influencing grandchildren, or investing in the next generation, don't underestimate the impact of your prayers and example. The small acts of faithfulness you practice today may shape lives for decades to come. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

God calls His people to remain spiritually urgent, dependent on Him, and committed to advancing His kingdom in every generation. If you've grown discouraged, distracted, or spiritually comfortable, this message is an invitation to seek God again, pray for revival, and become part of what He wants to do in our time.

Their story reminds us that God often uses ordinary people who are willing to stand firm, trust Him, and remain faithful during difficult times.

If you're discouraged, weary, or wondering whether your prayers matter, this message is a reminder that God works through believers who remain faithful and courageous. Revival begins when ordinary Christians decide they will serve Christ no matter the cost. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

What does it mean to live with spiritual urgency? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores the Bible verse that shaped Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech and the powerful warning found in Jeremiah 8:11. When people cry "peace, peace" while ignoring deeper spiritual realities, it's easy to become complacent. But God calls His people to seek first His kingdom, pray for revival, and remain faithful in every generation. This message is a reminder that revival does not begin with comfort or apathy. It begins when ordinary believers surrender themselves to God's purposes, pray with urgency, and refuse to settle for a faith that is merely routine.

Can God change a nation? The stories of King Josiah and America’s first Continental Congress remind us that revival often begins with a faithful remnant who seeks God when a culture has drifted far from Him. In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores how God used faithful believers in Josiah’s day to spark national renewal and how prayer played a foundational role in the earliest days of America. Discover why revival starts with ordinary people who trust God, pray boldly, and remain faithful even when the future seems uncertain. If you're concerned about the direction of your nation, discouraged by cultural decline, or longing to see spiritual awakening, this message offers biblical hope that God can still work powerfully today.

Dickerson explores a remarkable story from the First Great Awakening involving Samuel Davies, George Washington, and the courage of believers who trusted God during pivotal moments in history.

Through faithful preaching, bold faith, and confidence in God's providence, ordinary people became part of a movement that would influence an entire generation. This devotional will encourage you to stand strong in your faith, pray boldly for revival, and remember that God often uses ordinary believers to accomplish extraordinary things.

Could God bring another Great Awakening to America? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson begins exploring the story of Jonathan Edwards and the First Great Awakening—a revival movement that helped shape a generation and influence a nation. Before Jonathan Edwards became a revival leader, he was simply a young boy raised in a faithful Christian home. Through the influence of godly parents, the truth of Scripture, and a heart surrendered to God, he became part of a movement that transformed countless lives. This devotional will encourage you to pray boldly for revival, invest in the next generation, and remember that God often uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

Why do some people seem to have everything yet still feel unsatisfied? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores a surprising truth from Ecclesiastes: the ability to enjoy life is a gift from God. Many people spend their lives chasing more—more money, more success, more possessions—believing that the next achievement will finally bring happiness. But Solomon teaches that enjoyment itself does not come from having more. It comes from receiving God's gift of contentment and learning to place Him above everything else. This devotional will encourage you to stop chasing what can never fully satisfy and start enjoying the blessings God has already placed in your life. What if the secret to happiness isn't getting more, but learning to enjoy what God has already given you? Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

Why do so many people feel like they never have enough? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Solomon’s surprising wisdom about money, wealth, and contentment. Solomon had more wealth than most people could imagine, yet he warned that those who put their hope in money will never be satisfied. The pursuit of more can become an endless cycle that promises happiness but never delivers it. This devotional will challenge you to rethink where you place your trust, security, and hope. What if the satisfaction you're searching for isn't found in having more, but in trusting the God who provides everything you truly need?

What is worth giving everything for? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Jesus’ Parable of the Pearl of Great Price and the surprising truth that God's kingdom is worth far more than anything we could ever surrender. The merchant in Jesus' story gladly sold everything he had because he discovered something of far greater value. In the same way, when we truly understand God's kingdom, generosity, obedience, and surrender stop feeling like losses and start becoming joyful opportunities. This devotional will encourage you to see your resources, priorities, and future through the lens of eternity. What if the things you're afraid to give up are worth far less than what God wants to give you? Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

Why does Jesus say it's more blessed to give than receive? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores the surprising truth that generosity is not ultimately a loss—it's a gain. Most of us naturally think giving costs us something. But Jesus taught that when we understand God's kingdom and eternity, we begin to see generosity differently. What feels like sacrifice today can become a source of joy, purpose, and eternal reward. This devotional will challenge you to rethink your values, your priorities, and your perspective on money, time, and resources. What if the things you're most reluctant to give away are actually some of the greatest opportunities God has placed before you?

What if giving isn't really losing? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Jesus’ Parable of the Hidden Treasure and reveals a powerful truth about generosity, stewardship, and eternal investment. Most people view giving as something they lose. But Jesus taught that the kingdom of heaven is like discovering a treasure so valuable that giving up everything else becomes a joyful decision. When we see life from God's perspective, we begin to realize that investing in His kingdom is not a loss—it's a gain. This devotional will challenge you to think differently about your resources, your priorities, and your future.

God knows your heart better than you do. In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reminds us that true revival begins with honest self-examination and a willingness to let God reveal what’s really happening inside us. Scripture teaches that the human heart can be deceptive, but God’s Word acts like a mirror, helping us see ourselves accurately. While conviction can feel uncomfortable, it is often the first step toward deeper healing, freedom, and spiritual growth. If you’ve been challenged by this journey of learning to love God with all your heart, be encouraged. God is not exposing your heart to condemn you—He is inviting you to experience greater transformation and intimacy with Him.

What if one act of obedience could impact thousands of lives? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares a powerful story from Billy Graham’s ministry that highlights how God often works through surrendered people who are willing to respond when He calls. Jesus taught that where your treasure goes, your heart follows. When we truly surrender our resources to God, we become available for the opportunities He places before us—opportunities that may have far greater impact than we can see in the moment. This devotional will challenge you to live with open hands, trust God's direction, and remain ready when He invites you to participate in His work.

What if everything you have actually belongs to God? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores how revival movements throughout history were fueled by ordinary believers who surrendered their resources for God's purposes. Jesus taught that where your treasure goes, your heart follows. When we move beyond seeing generosity as simply giving God a portion and begin viewing everything we have as His, our hearts begin to align with His kingdom priorities. This devotional will challenge you to consider how God may want to use your finances, possessions, and resources to make an eternal impact. Whether you have much or little, every believer has a role to play in God's work. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

What does your money reveal about your heart? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Jesus’ powerful teaching that where your treasure goes, your heart will follow. Many of us assume our money follows our heart, but Jesus teaches the opposite: our financial priorities actually shape our affections, desires, and devotion. This devotional will encourage you to open every area of your life to God — including your finances, possessions, and future plans. As you learn to surrender your treasure to God, He can reshape your heart, deepen your trust, and grow your love for Him.

What you focus on every day is shaping your heart more than you realize. In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explains how our eyes influence our thoughts, our thoughts shape our emotions, and our emotions ultimately shape our passions. Many of the struggles we battle spiritually grow stronger because we continue to fix our attention on the wrong things. But through the Holy Spirit, God can redirect our focus and increase our passion for Him. If you’ve been feeling spiritually distracted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or distant from God, this devotional will encourage you to fix your eyes on what truly matters and allow God to reshape your heart from the inside out.

Why does your passion for God sometimes grow cold? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores how our attention shapes our desires — and how what we fix our eyes on will ultimately shape our hearts. The things we constantly look at, think about, and consume begin to direct our passions. But through the Holy Spirit and God’s Word, we can learn to intentionally redirect our focus and grow in genuine passion for God. If you’ve been feeling spiritually distracted, distant from God, or unsure how to grow your love for Him again, this devotional will encourage you to fix your eyes on what truly matters.

What does it really mean to love God with all your heart? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores how surrendering your emotions, identity, fears, and hidden struggles to God can deepen your relationship with Him. Sometimes we invite God into only certain parts of our lives while keeping other rooms of our heart closed off. But God lovingly invites us to trust Him with everything — our worries, accomplishments, relationships, fears, and emotions. This devotional will encourage you to slow down, pray honestly, and let the Holy Spirit “walk the halls of your heart” as you learn to love God more fully each day.

What does it mean to love God with all your heart? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through Mark 12:30, where Jesus teaches us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Loving God with all your heart includes your emotions, your passions, and even your resources. It means choosing to love Him when you do not feel it, and looking to Him first for emotional relief, joy, fulfillment, and connection. Our emotions can become messy when we try to manage them on our own. But in God’s hands, our hearts can be healed, balanced, and redirected toward Him. As we ask God to increase our love, He helps us see anything we have been looking to for fulfillment more than Him. If your emotions feel scattered, tired, or out of control, let this prayer become your starting place today: Lord, help me love You with all my heart.

How can you love God more today? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through Mark 12:30, where Jesus says the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. This verse is more than a command to understand. It can become a daily prayer: God, increase my love for You. As we bring our heart, soul, mind, and strength before Him, God begins to grow our love, deepen our joy, strengthen our faith, and help us hear His voice above everything else. If your love for God feels weak, distracted, or dry, do not give up. Ask Him again today to increase your love. He is eager to answer that prayer and draw you into a deeper walk with Him. May this simple prayer become your daily mission: Lord, help me love You more. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

How do you love God more? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson begins walking through Mark 12:30, where Jesus gives the greatest commandment: love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Revival begins in the heart. Before nationwide revival spreads outward, God starts by reviving our love for Him personally. Every day you turn your heart toward heaven, God is working — growing your love, reshaping your desires, and drawing you closer to Himself. Over the next few days, we will look at what it means to love God with your heart, soul, mind, and strength — not as a vague idea, but as a daily mission. As your love for God grows, repentance becomes more natural, kingdom prayer becomes more urgent, and every revival practice begins to flow from love. If your heart feels distracted, tired, or spiritually dull, let this invitation from Jesus become your prayer today: Lord, help me love You more.

Why do some Bibles end the Lord’s Prayer differently? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson wraps up the journey through the Lord’s Prayer by looking at the final phrase many Christians know by heart: “For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.” Some Bible translations include this ending, while others place it in a footnote because it appears in many manuscripts but not the oldest ones. But whether this line was part of the earliest manuscript or added later by believers, it beautifully summarizes the whole prayer. God’s kingdom is what we live for. God’s power is what we live through. God’s glory is what lasts forever. As you pray through the Lord’s Prayer, let this final line lift your eyes back to worship. Jesus wins in the end, His kingdom will prevail, His power is here to help you today, and His glory will last forever. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

What does “deliver us from evil” really mean? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how this final phrase teaches us to pray for protection from the evil one. Temptation does not only come from our own sinful desires. Scripture also teaches that we have a real enemy who lies, deceives, schemes, and sets traps. But if you belong to Jesus, you do not have to live intimidated by the enemy. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. When we pray, “Deliver us from evil,” we are asking God to protect us from Satan’s lies, renew our minds through His Word, guard our families and churches, and keep us walking in the freedom and power of the Holy Spirit. If spiritual warfare feels intimidating, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer remind you: your enemy is real, but Christ is greater.

How do you stop falling into the same sin? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how “Lead us not into temptation” can become a daily prayer for freedom. Temptation often wins when we wait until the moment of weakness to decide what we want. But Jesus teaches us to pray before temptation hits — to come to the Father, name the sins we are prone to, and ask Him to lead us away from what would pull our hearts from Him. This prayer is not about beating sin in your own strength. It is about humble dependence on God. When you pre-decide with Him that you want to worship Him above every temptation, He can reduce your appetite for sin, break strongholds, and lead you into greater freedom. If you feel trapped by a repeated sin struggle, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer become daily armor for your heart.

Are you tired of fighting the same sin? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how the phrase “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” gives us daily armor for spiritual battle. If you keep struggling with the same sin, you are not alone. Satan wants believers isolated, ashamed, and detached from the people who can help them stand strong. But Jesus teaches us to pray before temptation finds us — asking the Father to lead us away from temptation and deliver us from the evil one. Freedom from sin does not come from hiding, pretending, or fighting alone. It begins with honest prayer, dependence on God, and staying close to other believers who can help you stand firm. If you feel discouraged by repeated temptation, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer help you ask God for protection, strength, and real freedom today.

Who do you need to forgive today? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how the phrase “as we forgive our debtors” leads us into the daily practice of forgiving others. People wrong us every day. Sometimes the offense feels small, and sometimes forgiveness feels almost impossible. But unforgiveness and bitterness can clog the flow of relationship between us and God, slowing down our spiritual life and keeping us trapped under what someone else did. Jesus has forgiven us fully at the cross. Because we have been forgiven much, we are called to forgive others much. Forgiveness does not mean pretending the wrong did not matter. It means releasing bitterness to God and refusing to let unforgiveness build up in the pipes of your heart. If there is someone you need to forgive today, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer help you take the next step toward freedom.

Why do you feel far from God? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and the phrase, “Forgive us our debts,” showing how confession restores the flow of relationship with God. Unconfessed sin does not mean you have lost your salvation. But it can block the practical flow of fellowship, peace, joy, and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in your life. Like a clogged drain, sin can build up over time until you feel spiritually stuck, discontent, distracted, or distant from God. The good news is that repentance is not self-punishment. It is returning to the Father. When we confess our sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If your prayer life feels blocked or your heart feels far from God, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer lead you back into confession, cleansing, and restored relationship with Him.

What does “forgive us our debts” really mean?In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how this line teaches us daily repentance for relationship.When Jesus teaches us to pray, “Forgive us our debts,” He reminds us that we need daily forgiveness just as much as we need daily bread. Repentance is not about living in shame. It is about returning to the Father, clearing away the idols that have grown between us and God, and lifting Christ above every false source of security, comfort, success, reputation, or fulfillment.If you have drifted toward anything other than God for your worship, security, or satisfaction, this prayer is a daily doorway back into relationship with Him.Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.Download the CP+ Spiritual Fitness App for more.More resources: https://www.connectionpointe.org/revival/

What does it mean to pray for daily bread? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows another way to pray, “Give us today our daily bread.” Daily bread is not only something we ask God to provide for ourselves. We can also pray for the churches, ministries, leaders, and people God is using to equip us and advance His kingdom on earth. When we pray for daily bread, we can ask God to provide the resources, staff, finances, open doors, wisdom, and strength needed for His work to continue. We can pray for our families, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and the ministries that help us grow in faith. If God has used a ministry to encourage you, teach you, or help you follow Jesus, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer remind you to pray for their needs too.

What does “daily bread” really mean? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how “Give us today our daily bread” teaches us to trust God one day at a time. When Jesus’ first listeners heard “daily bread,” they would have remembered the manna in the wilderness. God gave His people enough for each day, teaching them not to hoard tomorrow’s provision or live trapped in tomorrow’s worries. You do not need tomorrow’s bread today. God is already in tomorrow, already providing, and already faithful. Today, He invites you to bring Him the needs in front of you — your wisdom, provision, patience, finances, strength, and peace — and trust Him with what has not come yet. If you are anxious about the future, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer slow your heart down and help you depend on your Father one day at a time.

What does “daily bread” really mean? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how “Give us today our daily bread” invites us to bring God every real need we have today. Your physical needs matter to God. Your sickness, your family, your work, your emotions, your relationships, your practical needs, and even the people you love who are hurting can all become doorways into His presence. But Jesus also teaches us to pray beyond our earthly needs. As we bring God our daily bread, He lifts our eyes toward kingdom prayer — praying for souls, salvation, eternal things, the Father’s glory, His kingdom to come, and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. If your prayer life has become mostly a list of requests, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer help you bring God your needs while also learning to pray deeper, higher, and more eternal prayers.

What does “daily bread” really mean? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how “Give us today our daily bread” is more than a request for food. It is a prayer of childlike boldness, daily dependence, and trust in the Father’s provision. Jesus teaches us to come to God with confidence because He is our Father. When we are surrendered to His kingdom and His will, we can boldly ask Him to give us everything we need today to do His work on earth. That includes our physical needs, but it also includes wisdom, strength, health, transportation, provision, and the help we need to follow Him faithfully. And when we pray, we never pray alone. Jesus intercedes for us, and the Holy Spirit helps us when we do not know what to pray.

What does “Your will be done” really mean? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and shows how this simple phrase can reorder your heart, your desires, and your view of the world. When we pray, “Your will be done,” we are asking God to take His rightful place on the throne of our lives. Instead of being ruled by our own desires, fear, pride, or confusion, we surrender to the will of the Father and ask for heaven to invade earth. This prayer reminds us that God’s will is the only lasting answer to sin, injustice, deception, spiritual darkness, and the brokenness we see around us. And through the Holy Spirit, God sends His people into the world as vessels of His kingdom, His peace, and His truth. If life feels chaotic or your desires feel out of order, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer help you pray with surrender, clarity, and hope today.

What does “Your kingdom come” really mean? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S.

When we pray, “Your kingdom come,” we are remembering that Jesus’ kingdom is the only lasting answer to sickness, injustice, fear, conflict, and every form of human brokenness. This prayer lifts our eyes above earthly circumstances and sends us back into the world as ambassadors of the peace, love, and joy of Jesus. If you feel tired, discouraged, distracted, or overwhelmed by the world around you, let this simple line from the Lord’s Prayer help you pray bigger than your problems today.

What is the highest motivation for revival? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shows that the deepest answer is not our comfort, our future, or even our nation’s well-being. The highest motivation is the glory of God: “Hallowed be Your name.” This message opens the next doorway in the Lord’s Prayer and helps us see that kingdom prayer begins by lifting our eyes above ourselves. Jesus teaches us to start prayer with who God is, where He reigns, and why His name deserves to be honored above all else. Revival matters because it brings glory to God—first by reviving our own love for Him, and then by leading more people to worship Him. This devotional will help you pray with a higher purpose. As you move through your day, may God shift your motivation from self-protection and comfort to something greater: His fame, His renown, His kingdom, and His will. When “hallowed be Your name” becomes the cry of your heart, it changes the way you pray, the way you live, and the way you see revival.

If your prayer life has mostly centered on daily needs, worries, and circumstances, this Daily Hope devotional is for you. Pastor John S. Dickerson opens the Lord’s Prayer and reminds us that Jesus absolutely teaches us to bring our earthly needs to God—but He also teaches us not to stop there. This message helps you see the bigger shape of prayer. In the Lord’s Prayer, “give us today our daily bread” matters, but it sits inside a much larger vision of prayer centered on God’s name, God’s kingdom, and God’s will. Jesus is teaching us to pray beyond comfort, beyond anxiety, and beyond the temporary needs of this world into the higher realm of kingdom prayer. This devotional will encourage you to bring God everything that burdens you while also letting those earthly needs become a doorway into deeper prayer. As you pray, may God teach you to move from fear to faith, from earthly pressure to heavenly perspective, and from surface-level requests into bold, spiritual, kingdom-centered prayer.

If you are in a season of doubt, this Daily Hope devotional is for you. Pastor John S. Dickerson reminds us that even in Matthew 28, after seeing the risen Jesus, some of the disciples still doubted. That means doubt does not automatically disqualify you from walking with God or being used by Him. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} This message is a powerful encouragement to keep praying, especially for the people on your salvation prayer list, even when you do not yet see the answer. God is still at work behind the scenes.

If you are walking through doubt right now, this Daily Hope devotional is for you. In Matthew 28:17, we find a surprising and deeply comforting phrase: when the disciples saw the risen Jesus, they worshiped Him—but some doubted. Pastor John S. Dickerson reminds us that doubt does not mean you are failing God. It does not mean you are disqualified from following Jesus. Even the disciples had moments where their feelings wavered. What mattered was not the perfection of their emotions, but the object of their faith. Jesus was still faithful, steady, and true. This message will encourage you to stop letting doubt define you. Doubt is a feeling, but faith is a choice. When your emotions are unstable, you can still choose obedience. You can still pray. You can still trust. You can still walk by faith and not by feelings. And as you do, God can keep using you, strengthening you, and maturing you through the process.

If you have been praying for someone who does not yet know Jesus, this Daily Hope devotional is for you. Pastor John S. Dickerson shares a powerful reminder from Matthew 28 that when Jesus sends us to make disciples, He also promises, “Surely I am with you always.” As you pray for people by name and look for open doors, you are not doing that alone. Jesus is with you, and God is already at work behind the scenes. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} This message shows how faithful daily prayer can prepare the soil of someone’s heart long before you see visible results. A salvation prayer list is not just a habit to make you feel spiritual.

Sometimes one simple invitation can lead to a much deeper conversation than you expected. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} This devotional will encourage you to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep watching. If you have people in your life who seem far from God, do not assume nothing is happening. God may be working in ways you cannot yet see.

If you want to grow in evangelism but do not know where to begin, this Daily Hope devotional is for you. Pastor John S. Dickerson shares a simple and powerful practice: start a salvation prayer list and begin praying daily for specific people who need Jesus. This message reminds us that brokenhearted boldness does not begin with pressure or performance. It begins with prayer.

Faithful prayer keeps your compassion alive and your eyes open to the people God has already placed in your life. This devotional will encourage you to keep it simple and stay consistent. Start with five names. Pray for them every day. Trust God to work over time.

What if sharing your faith is not just obedience, but worship? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson opens Matthew 28 and shows that when the disciples worshiped Jesus, He immediately called them to go and make disciples. This message gives a fresh way to think about evangelism. Talking to people about Jesus is not just a duty to check off or an awkward obligation to endure. It is an act of surrender. Every time you step out of your comfort zone, die to yourself, and point someone to Christ, you are worshiping Jesus in a way He desires to receive. This devotional will encourage you to see everyday opportunities differently. A spiritual question, a word of encouragement, a conversation about Jesus, or a simple act of bold obedience can become worship when it is done to honor Him. As you go through your day, may God help you lift Christ above your comfort, above your fear, and above your own plans.

What if the people around you are in more danger than they appear? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares a vivid reminder that many people are bleeding spiritually, even when life on the outside looks normal. Without Jesus, people are not just struggling temporarily—they are facing eternity without God. Through John 3:17 and John 14:6, this message points us back to the heart of the gospel: Jesus did not come to condemn the world, but to save it, and He is the only way to eternal life. Pastor John challenges us not to be so distracted by our schedules and routines that we keep driving past the spiritual needs right in front of us. This devotional will encourage you to ask God for spiritual eyesight, a broken heart for the lost, and boldness to respond when He opens a door. Whether it is someone on your salvation prayer list, a coworker, a friend, or a stranger, may God help you stop, care, and point them to the cross while there is still time.

People can look fine on the outside and still be spiritually harassed and helpless inside. In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson points us to Matthew 9:36, where Jesus saw the crowds with deep compassion because they were like sheep without a shepherd. This message reminds us that spiritual eyesight changes how we see the people around us. Instead of only noticing appearances, success, status, or surface behavior, God teaches us to see the deeper reality of the soul. Many people are hurting more than they show, trapped in confusion, sin, deception, and spiritual need apart from Jesus. This devotional will encourage you to ask God for both compassion and courage. When Jesus helps you see people the way He sees them, you begin to care differently—and that compassion can move you to pray, speak, listen, and help point them to the Good Shepherd.

This message shows us that a broken heart for the lost does not appear by accident.

What once looked like inconvenience, distraction, or surface-level behavior can begin to look like spiritual need.

As you repent, pray, and keep drawing near to Jesus, He can begin to give you His heart for people who are wandering, hurting, and looking for a shepherd.
