My theme for 2026 is simple but bold: Lord, surprise me.
I literally have an envelope on my vision board filled with prayer requests—things I desire, things I’m believing God for. But beyond all of that, I want God to do something that will shock me with joy. Something I didn’t plan. Something I couldn’t predict. Something only He could do.
I’ve never been in this spiritual posture before, and I truly thank God for bringing me here. He has been stripping away layers of disbelief, fear, and emotional roadblocks that once kept me from expecting anything good from Him. For a long time, I believed in God—but I didn’t fully expect from Him.
Now, I stand in hope.
Not because I believe in magic.
But because I have come to believe—firmly—that God is who He says He is, and He will do what He says He will do.
I’ve slowly started transforming my doubt questions into hope questions.
It’s no longer about when or if God will do it.
It’s about Him doing it—because He said He would.
So I ask you:
When was the last time you expected a surprise from God?
Or has your spiritual life become so stale—because of life, frustration, disappointment, and turmoil—that your belief has slowly reduced?
You need hope.
You need to stop the negative backtalk.
You need to lean into hope more than the blocking ideas that constantly pop into your mind.
Your environment also plays a role.
Because I care deeply about my relationship with God, I guard it. I avoid content, conversations, and environments that lead me away from Him. This takes courage—but when you understand that your spiritual growth is more important than fitting in, you will walk away from anything that does not elevate you in Christ.
Jesus says in Matthew 16:24–25:
“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
Honestly, believe me—whatever you leave behind for God, He will give you something better.
If it’s a job, a friend, a relationship, a partner—He will replace it with something better. But first, you must walk away. You must learn to lean on Him as you rewire your mind to have the mind of Christ.
It’s fascinating how, after certain sermons, many of the people Jesus fed walked away because they did not find value in what He said. Yet you never read that Jesus chased after them, begged them to come back, or questioned why they left. He continued His mission. He performed miracles. He eventually died on the cross and was resurrected.
He did not focus on those who refused to walk with Him.
So why should you?
Jesus died for the whole world to know Him through His children—but not everyone will follow Him. Not because you are special, but because many will not yield to His voice or His path. And you must make peace with that.
You will not convert all your friends.
Not all your family members will love Jesus.
And that is not your fault.
Focus on those God has called you to.
Focus on those who love Jesus.
Support them on their journey—because the path is not easy, and you need a team.
Faith, Waiting, and the Supernatural
I have to be honest: what people usually say about God can sound true. Their arguments can sound logical, convincing—even intelligent. But remember this: facts can be distorted. And it is often easier to believe what people say about God than to actually ask God to meet you where you are and increase your faith.
Most of the time, the Christian walk becomes stale not because God has changed, but because we stopped asking bold prayers. We stopped asking for the miraculous. We stopped believing that God still moves in supernatural ways.
Faith cannot increase if you don’t allow room for the supernatural power of God.
You have to ask God to meet you in a miraculous way—because if you don’t, you will only see Him the way the world sees Him.
Just like the people in Jesus’ hometown were offended by Him, there are still people today who are offended by God—offended by the idea that He even exists. They project their disbelief, trauma, and disappointment onto you. And as a Christian, you cannot combat that if you have never personally encountered God in a miraculous way.
You don’t even need to go anywhere for it.
It can happen right in your room.
By seeking God consistently and faithfully with all your heart, every day, He will lead you into the supernatural—through dreams, through visions, through inner conviction, and through the ministry He has placed inside you.
God exists—no matter what people say about Him.
And once you meet Him for yourself, no argument, no mockery, no doubt planted by others will be able to shake your faith—because your belief will no longer be based on opinions, but on encounter.
So for 2026…
My prayer is simple:
Lord, surprise me.
Surprise me with Your goodness.
Surprise me with Your faithfulness.
Surprise me with Your power.
Surprise me with joy.
And I pray the same for you.
