Unshakable Curiosity: A Messianic Jew’s Journey (Diane Cohen)

As the day draws to a close, come and rest in the presence of a God who hears every prayer. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to lay your requests before Him and wait in quiet trust. Reflecting on Psalm 5:1–7, we are reminded that our confidence does not come from our own worthiness, but from God’s unfailing love. Like the psalmist, we can come before Him honestly, knowing that He listens and welcomes us through His mercy.

Come and find all you need in the presence of the Lord. He will speak, just what you need to hear. No matter what kind of day you’ve had, rest in hope and peace tonight as you draw near to the heart of God. This short, uplifting meditation from His Word will create a space at the end of the day for you to refocus on the goodness and nearness of the Lord, entrust your burdens to Him and fill your mind with His promises and faithfulness towards you. 

How long do you think your attention span is? A lot has been written about the attention spans of people, and there’s debate about whether attention spans are getting shorter or not. Well, if it’s true that we have short attention spans, and if they are potentially getting even shorter, there’s a really important invitation in the Bible that we’re going to struggle with. It’s an invitation that shows up 1000 times–the invitation “to behold.” What does it mean to “behold”, and why is “beholding” so important? Explore that with the group in this study called Behold. 

Find strength and reassurance after a difficult day; be reminded that the Lord holds you safe in every trial. No matter what kind of day you’ve had, rest in hope and peace tonight as you draw near to the heart of God. This short, uplifting meditation from His Word will create a space at the end of the day for you to refocus on the goodness and nearness of the Lord, entrust your burdens to Him and fill your mind with His promises and faithfulness towards you.

As the day comes to a close, take a moment to recognise the God who sustains your every breath. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to rest in His presence and reflect on His constant care. Reflecting on Acts 17:24–28, we are reminded that God is the giver of life, breath, and everything else. He is not distant, but near—holding every moment of your life in His hands. As you settle into the stillness of the night, breathe deeply and rest in the truth that your life is sustained by a loving and faithful Creator.

As night falls, lift your eyes beyond today’s troubles to the future God has prepared. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to rest in the promise of His coming kingdom of peace. Reflecting on Micah 4:1–5, we are given a glimpse of a world made new—where conflict ceases, justice reigns, and God’s people live in safety and joy. This promised future is certain, held securely in His hands. As you prepare to sleep, let this vision calm your heart and steady your spirit, reminding you that peace is not just a hope—it is your future in Christ.

As you come to the close of your day, take a moment to rest in the promises of God. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to reflect on the transforming power of His Word at work within you. Reflecting on 2 Peter 1:2–8, we are reminded that God has already given us everything we need for life and godliness. Through His “great and precious promises,” He is shaping us, strengthening us, and drawing us closer to Himself. As you settle into rest, let His promises quiet your heart and renew your hope, knowing He is faithfully at work in you.

God desires for each and every one of us to feel loved and valued, but throughout our lives we face moments where we may feel unlovable or worthless. Tori Hope Petersen struggled with these feelings deeply as she grew up in multiple foster homes. When one of her foster moms honestly answered one of Tori’s questions about God, it completely changed her life. Now, Tori shares her story to inspire people toward radical hospitality and an ever-present, loving Father. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they learn about Tori’s time on Season 2 of Unshakable Moxie and more of her personal testimony during this episode of God Hears Her.
