April 18:

From Desperation to Divine Alignment - The day everything changed…

Are you tired of pretending you’re okay? Have you cried behind closed doors, hoping no one hears — not because you're ashamed, but because you're exhausted?  Maybe you’ve been showing up for others but secretly wondering:

• “God, do You even see me?”

• “Is it too far gone?”

• “Is it too late to turn this around?”

Let me speak life to your weary soul: It’s not too late. You are not too far. And He sees you — right here, right now.

Testimony:

Two years ago, I was right there, empty, numb and suicidal. Still in addiction. Still fighting demons that wore the masks of heartbreak, shame, and regret.  But one morning, in a simple moment of surrender, worship music played in the background.  Heart and Bible open and ready to receive and suddenly, Isaiah 43:19 jumped off the page — just as the lyrics behind me declared, “He’s making a way in the wilderness.” It wasn’t a coincidence. It was divine choreography.  That moment marked the beginning of everything new. It was the birth of Speak Life Transformation Ministry. But more than that, it was the resurrection of a daughter who thought she was too far gone. I opened my Bible... and God opened my heart. Maybe today’s not just my “Day 1” but maybe it’s your “Day 1” too.

Kingdom Key:

God doesn't need polished. He wants present. He meets us in the wilderness, not at the finish line. He’s not waiting for your perfection, only your permission. When we surrender, He aligns.

Scripture:

• Isaiah 42:6–7 – “...To open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”

• Isaiah 43:19 leapt off the page just as Maverick City sang, “He’s making a way in the wilderness.”

That was no coincidence. That was divine choreography.

 My Prayer with You:

Father God, I lift up my friend to you right now. In the mighty name of Jesus, I ask You to meet them like You met me. Send Your angels to surround them.  Erase the shame, quiet the lies, and bring stillness to their storm.  Give them ears to hear You and a heart to receive You.  If You did it for me — I know You, will do it again.  Thank You for finding us in the wilderness and leading us to purpose.  In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Worship Flow:

• “The Song of Isaiah” – Maverick City

Let this song wash over you. The lyrics echo the same scripture God used to breathe life into me: Isaiah 43 — rivers in the desert, restoration, redemption. He’s still doing a new thing.
