✝️OCTOBER 2025 FOCUS BIBLE VERSES✝️

PATIENCE AND HARVEST

Patience is essential for waiting for the Lord’s coming, as the farmer patiently waits for the land to yield its valuable crop. Just as the farmer waits for the autumn and spring rains, we too must be patient and stand firm, knowing that the Lord’s coming is near. (James 5:7-8)

HOPE AND ENDURANCE

Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that hope, and endurance are crucial in our journey.

“But those who patiently wait for the Lord will experience renewed strength. They will soar with the grace of eagles, running without fatigue and walking without exhaustion.”

This verse is a beautiful promise of renewed strength for those who patiently wait on the Lord.

Romans 12:12: “Rejoice in hope, endure in tribulation, and remain steadfast in prayer.”

This powerful reminder encourages us to maintain a joyful hope and constant prayer throughout any difficulties.

GRATITUDE

Colossians 3:15: “Let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, to which you were indeed called as one body. And be thankful.”

This timely reminder reminds us to be thankful, especially as autumn often brings the concept of harvest and the opportunity to express gratitude for what has been provided.

FINDING LIGHT IN DARKNESS

Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

This verse offers a powerful message of hope, especially during the darker days of October when some may experience feelings of anxiety.

🙏🏼OCTOBER 2025 PRAYER🙏🏼

Abba, Father, the trees are ablaze with your glory. The seasons change, but you never do. You are always beautiful, in the green and freshness of spring as in the golds and reds and chills of autumn. Make me like you. Let my life reflect your beauty, season after season, as the calendar of my life turns and turns and turns. The trees are letting go of this year's foliage. Help me let go of both blessings and burdens,

and surrender them both to your loving care. Fallen leaves pattern the ground with variety. So, design my own fallings and failings into whatever design will please you most. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen!
