There’s a moment in every believer’s life where you’re faced with a defining choice: Do I stay where it’s familiar—where I know the pain, the patterns, and the predictable? Or do I step into what’s faithful—what I can’t yet see, but what God is calling me into?

 

That moment isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it comes in the stillness of your spirit—when you sense the Holy Spirit whispering, “There’s more for you. This is not where your story ends.”

Ruth stood at that very crossroads—Moab was familiar, but it was also marked by death, disappointment, and everything that had already ended. She could’ve stayed. She could’ve let the pain of her past determine her next steps. But instead, she made a bold, forward-moving choice:

 

“Where you go, I will go. Your God will be my God.” –Ruth 1:16

 

That decision changed everything.

 

You can’t return to the graveyards of your past and expect to find resurrection life. God has already redeemed it. You don’t have to relive it. Shake off the cycle. Let go of guilt. Refuse to rehearse what God has already healed.

 

Philippians 4:6 encourages us to shift our focus:“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

 

No more recycled prayers from a place of pain. Let fresh prayers—filled with trust and gratitude—rise from your spirit.

 

Today's Invitation
You were made for more. The forward YES is calling. No more spiritual U-turns. No more going back to Moab. Your Boaz—your next chapter, your redemption—is waiting on the other side of obedience.

 

 

You’ve come too far to turn around now.

Forward is where the harvest is.

And we’re walking there with you—step by step.

We’re expanding our reach in the Philippines by creating more opportunities for virtual assistants to be trained, placed, and empowered to walk in their calling.

 

Would you consider sponsoring monthly to help us raise up more Kingdom workers through ethical employment and purpose-driven placement? Your support goes beyond a paycheck—it restores dignity, builds futures, and advances God’s Kingdom one assignment at a time.

You don’t have to go to the nations to make an impact—you can start by saying yes right where you are. Let’s build this together.

I am praying for you today!

 

Much love to all of you partnered in the Spirit with Marlena Hollis Ministries.

 

Blessings,
