When Life Feels Uprooted | Your Nightly Prayer

What does it really mean to be blessed? In our evening prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that, too often, we equate blessings with success, comfort, or ease — but Jeremiah reminds us that true blessing comes from being rooted in God, even in seasons of drought.

In this episode, Kyle Norman reflects on how God’s blessings sustain us in times of change and challenge. Like a tree planted by water, the faithful remain nourished and steadfast even when life feels uprooted. God’s promise isn’t the removal of hardship — it’s the assurance of His sustaining presence through it all.

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE:

“They will be like a tree planted by water…its leaves are always green.”
— Jeremiah 17:8

🌿 MAIN TAKEAWAYS

God’s blessings are not defined by outward success, but by inward connection to His presence.

Even when “heat” and “drought” come, those rooted in God remain strong.

The faithful life draws continuously from God’s living water — His Spirit, Word, and grace.

True stability in life comes from confidence in the Lord, not in circumstances.
