December 17 - Bible Verse for Today

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

Exodus 14:14

There are moments when the weight of our battles feels too heavy to carry. We strive, we plan, we push forward—and yet the Lord whispers, “Be still.”

Stillness is not weakness. It is trust. It is the posture of surrender, where we release control and allow God’s strength to prevail. Just as He parted the sea for Israel, He makes a way for us when none seems possible.

In stillness, we discover His presence. In surrender, we find His victory.

Stillness is a sanctuary. Let it hold you.

December 17 - Our Prayer for Today

Lord, I surrender my battles to You.
Teach me to be still and trust in Your victory.
In Jesus' name, Amen.


It is hard to be still. 
I pray for our stillness.

December 2nd Bible Verse and Prayer

The Quill and Me Daily Prayer and Bible Verse for Today - December 2 Daily Bible Verse for Today - December 2 Scripture: Give all your worries and cares to God, because he cares about what happens to you . 1 Peter 5:7 from the NLT (New Living Translation) Scripture: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you . 1 Peter 5:7 KJV Reflection: Worry has a way of creeping into our hearts, especially when life feels uncertain. Yet this verse reminds us that we are not meant to carry the weight alone. God’s care is not distant or abstract — it is personal, tender, and constant. Every detail of our lives matters to Him. When we release our burdens into His hands, we exchange anxiety for peace. It doesn’t mean the challenges disappear, but it does mean we walk through them with courage, knowing the Lord is holding us steady. Today, let us practice surrender by naming our worries and laying them before Him, trusting His love to carry what we cannot. Prayer for Today: December 2 Father,...

Forgiveness Meaning

The Quill and Me Forgiveness Meaning: What the Bible Teaches About Letting Go People everywhere are searching—searching for the meaning of Bible verses, searching for the biblical meaning of forgiveness, searching for the very heart of forgiveness itself. And I am searching for those people. Bible Verses About Forgiveness Matthew 18:21–22 tells us: Then Peter came to Him and asked, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” Forgiveness. It is all about forgiveness. The Lord commands it. He suffered greatly, died a horrible death—for us, for our sins. Every sin of the world, before He was alive, after He died, and after He ascended to reign as Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell within us, so that we might have the Comforter with us at all times. That is what it was all about: the forgiveness of our sins. Without His blood cl...
