Black children are disproportionately in underfunded preschool programs or in communities with limited early-literacy resources, which directly affects vocabulary, phonemic awareness, and reading readiness.

It’s not hard to ask God to take care of something.
We can pray, we can cry out, we can tell Him exactly what’s worrying us or what we desperately want Him to fix. Bringing our requests to God is the easy part because our hearts naturally run to Him when life feels heavy.

The hard part is letting go and letting Him.
Releasing control.
Loosening our grip on the outcome.
Trusting His timing when ours feels urgent.
Believing His plan even when it looks nothing like what we imagined.

Letting go means surrendering the need to manage every detail.
It means resisting the urge to take back what we just placed at His feet.
It means trusting that He knows more, sees more, and cares more than we ever could.

We don’t struggle to pray—
we struggle to stop worrying after we pray.
We struggle with the silence that follows.
We struggle with the waiting, the uncertainty, the “not yet” or “not this way.”

But that’s where faith grows.
That’s where trust deepens.
That’s where we learn that God doesn’t need our help—He needs our surrender.

And when we finally let Him take over, when we truly release it into His hands, we discover that He handles things with wisdom, grace, and power far beyond anything we could have done on our own.

Asking is easy.
Letting go is the real act of faith.
But oh, how peace floods in when we finally do.

You carried us from January to December. Thank you, God.
Through every high and every low, every unexpected blessing and every difficult season, You were there—steady, faithful, and unchanging. You walked with us through moments of joy and moments of sorrow, through answered prayers and silent waiting, through victories we celebrated and battles we didn’t think we’d survive.

Lord, thank You for the strength You gave when we felt weak.
Thank You for the peace You offered when our hearts were anxious.
Thank You for the protection that covered us, the provision that sustained us, and the grace that lifted us day after day.

There were days we didn’t know how things would turn out, but You carried us.
There were battles we didn’t think we’d win, but You carried us.
There were moments we couldn’t see a way forward, but You carried us.

From the first month to the last, Your faithfulness never failed. Every breath, every blessing, every breakthrough, every lesson—You were present in all of it.

So we pause, reflect, and say with full hearts:
Thank You, God.
Thank You for Your mercy that followed us, Your love that sustained us, and Your strength that carried us through another year.

And as we move forward, we do so with gratitude for what You’ve done and hope for what You will do.

Amen.

The Lowest Point

“The bottom is a lot deeper than you would even think,” says Dr. John Trent.

If you feel as if these dark days will never pass, we want to assure you that there is hope because of Jesus. He suffered and died and rose again on the third day.

Those early disciples saw Jesus put to death on a cross and were as hopeless as anyone ever was. All their dreams and hopes died with Him. Yet when they saw Jesus alive from the dead, it changed everything.

Even during the heaviest, most hurtful times of your grieving experience, you, too, can share the hope that only Jesus brings.

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19).

Jesus, my hope is in You. Amen.

America's 63 million family caregivers help make it possible for loved ones to live independently at home, where they want to be, while saving taxpayers billions. Yet many are stretched thin for time and money, averaging 27 hours of care each week and paying over $7,000 in out-of-pocket costs on average annually.

AARP is fighting for commonsense solutions to ease caregivers’ financial pressures. Learn more: http://spr.ly/61837osjl.

⚠️ Lung cancer isn’t just a “smoker’s disease.”
Many Black women diagnosed never smoked at all.

That’s not about personal choices. It’s about delayed diagnoses, misunderstood symptoms, and major research gaps that continue to leave Black women out of prevention and treatment conversations.

What we do know:
👉🏾 Black women are underrepresented in lung cancer research
👉🏾 We’re less likely to receive early screening
👉🏾 Symptoms are often dismissed or misattributed
👉🏾 Environmental and structural factors play a bigger role than most realize

This month, we’re shining a light on the full picture , because our stories, our symptoms, and our lives deserve to be taken seriously.
