Hereās a prayer I prayed this morning. Am I the only imperfect Believer who fails their own standards of righteousness? I need a return of the fire. š„
āCreate in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
Ā so that sinners will turn back to you.ā
Psalm 51: 10-13 (NIV).
Did you know that under NYC's new mayor, Zohran Mamdaniāthe city's first Muslim leaderāthe 5x daily Adhan (Muslim call to prayer) is now authorized to echo through the streets of New York? This expands on previous policies, allowing broadcasts every day, from dawn to night.
What started as Friday-only under Adams is now a full daily ritual, voted in by the majority of New Yorkers who backed this administration.
But here's a thought: If public expressions of faith are the new norm in one of America's most diverse cities, why not balance the scales? I challenge Christians and Jewsāespecially in areas where Islamic influence is strongāto organize our own daily public prayer vigils. Let's unite in prayer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacobāthe same God Christians know as Jesus Christ. Push back against division and reclaim the light in our shared spaces.
This isn't about confrontation; it's about equality and spiritual resilience. The gauntlet is downāwill we pick it up? Let's ...
What does God want to accomplish in your life in 2026? He certainly has my attention.
āBut he said to me, āMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.ā Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.ā
(2 Corinthian 12:9).
āNow to him who is ableĀ to do immeasurably more than all we askĀ or imagine, according to his powerĀ that is at work within us,Ā to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,Ā for everĀ and ever!ā
(Ephesians 3:20).

āAnd I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, āLook! Godās dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. āHe will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more deathā or mourning or crying or pain,for the old order of things has passed away.ā
He who was seated on the throne said, āI am making everything new!ā Then he said, āWrite this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.ā
He said to me: āIt is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.ā
Revelation 21: 3-6 ( NIV).
