Strength for the Journey

Scripture:
“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” — Isaiah 40:31

Reflection:
The New Year often begins with energy, but life’s demands can quickly drain us. Isaiah reminds us that strength is not self-generated—it flows from hope anchored in God. Notice the rhythm: soaring, running, walking. Some days we soar with vision; others we simply walk, one step at a time. All are holy when sustained by God’s strength. For caregivers and leaders, this truth is vital: renewal comes not from pushing harder, but from pausing in hope.

Prayer:
Lord, renew my strength today. Teach me to wait on You, not rush ahead. Whether I soar, run, or walk, let Your presence sustain me. Amen.

Practice:
Take five minutes to breathe deeply and pray this phrase slowly: “My hope is in You, Lord.” Let each breath remind you that strength is a gift, not a demand.

👁️ Community Health Spotlight: Glaucoma Awareness 👁️
Our Regional Community Development Manager, Kelly Elkins, recently had the pleasure of speaking with seniors at the Summers County Council on Aging about glaucoma—an eye condition that affects millions and is one of the leading causes of vision loss.
💡 What’s important to know about glaucoma: Glaucoma often has no early warning signs, which is why it’s sometimes called the “silent thief of sight.” It can cause gradual vision loss if not detected and treated early. Regular comprehensive eye exams are the best way to catch glaucoma early—especially for adults 60+. Family history, diabetes, high blood pressure, and previous eye injuries can increase risk.
👓 Good eye health tips:
Schedule routine eye exams, even if your vision seems fine
Take prescribed eye drops exactly as directed
Protect your eyes from injury
Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular activity and balanced nutrition

Thank you to Summers County Council on Aging, Inc for welcoming us and for helping spread awareness about protecting vision and maintaining independence. Early detection truly makes a difference! 💙

Commit Your Plans to God

Scripture: “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3

Reflection:
New Year goals are good servants but poor masters. The wisdom of Proverbs re-centers us: we entrust our work to God, and He shapes the outcomes. For caregivers and leaders, this means we set priorities, yet hold them with open hands. God’s establishment may look like clarity, correction, or unexpected doors—each a sign of His care.

Prayer:
God, I place my plans in Your hands. Align my desires with Your purposes. Establish my steps for Your glory and others’ good. Amen.

Practice:
Write one goal for the year, then add a sentence that commits it to God: “I will ___, trusting God to establish it in His timing and way.”

New Mercies, New Beginnings

Scripture: “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23

Reflection:
The calendar turns, and with it God’s mercies greet us again. We don’t start the year as blank slates—but as beloved people with fresh grace. In chaplaincy, we see yesterday’s burdens carried into today. This text invites us to acknowledge those burdens while receiving mercy that is new enough for today’s needs. Newness isn’t erasing the past; it is God’s faithful presence redeeming it.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for mercies that meet us every morning. Renew our minds and steady our hearts. Let Your faithfulness set our pace this year. Amen.

Practice:
List three “new mercies” you notice today—in your body, your work, your relationships. Speak one of them aloud as a blessing over your day.
