I Need to Get Something Off My Chest - Day 5 of 5

Day 5: Choosing Worship Over Complaining

Five-day devotional based on the message, "I Need to Get Something Off My Chest" by Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers on June 22, 2025. Click here to watch the video.

Devotional
As we conclude our journey, we focus on choosing worship over complaining. By aligning our hearts with God’s will, we open ourselves to His peace and joy. This transformation begins with honesty, confession, and a commitment to being a blessing. Replace complaints with gratitude and encouragement. Trust in God’s promises to guide your path. By choosing worship, we not only draw closer to God but also reflect His light into the world. Let your life be a testimony of trust and faith in God’s steadfast love.

Bible Verse
"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Sermon Quote
"So the next time you feel that urge to ‘get something off your chest,’ pause. Take a breath. Ask yourself—is this helping anything? Is this making me more like Christ? And instead of complaining, choose worship."

Reflection Question
How can you actively choose worship and gratitude in situations where you might typically complain?

Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to choose worship over complaining. Fill my heart with gratitude and remind me of Your promises. Guide my words and actions so they reflect Your love and bring glory to Your name. May my life be a testimony of Your faithfulness. Amen.
