About Us
Most of us feel like our faith should impact the way we live every day, but oftentimes it doesn’t.
Christianity can feel disconnected from our lives, irrelevant, or outdated. But we know that it’s not. It points us to Jesus, who invites us into a better way to experience life with him as we reclaim our everyday moments.
That’s why we’re creatively exploring how we connect with God in the ordinary, extraordinary, everyday moments of life. We do this through solid and compelling words and visuals that model a practical way forward.

His mercies, love, and faithfulness are refreshed every single day.
This reality has been a comforting reminder that even on my worst days, when negativity creeps in and doubts arise, His steadfast commitment, kindness, and compassion still surround me.
Tomorrow offers a fresh start, and today I’m embracing gratitude for the One who fills my life with endless love and faithfulness.
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23).

This month, we’ve been talking a lot about prayer. But if you’re like us, it can be easy to go through your day thinking about God… without actually talking to him. That’s why we made this tote bag, with a simple prayer to guide your heart back to God throughout your day. For the rest of the month, the Reclaim Today Tote Bag is 20% off. Free shipping on U.S. orders (currently shipping to U.S. and Canada only).
Nothing’s going right at work. Your friend’s mad at you. And there’s still so much on your to-do list. Today’s just…rough.
Where’s God in this? Is he just as present here as he is at church? It’s weird to think of God having a bad day alongside us…but in the gospels, he had quite a few. In Matthew 13-14, we get a glimpse into a low point in the life of Jesus. He traveled home to Nazareth only to have his identity questioned and message rejected. Then, his cousin was killed. So, understandably, he just wanted to be alone. What happened next? A bunch of people heard he left and followed him, asking to be healed and fed. I wonder, as he was performing miracles for all these strangers, if he had a tear in his eye, thinking about his beloved cousin who just died.
It’s so freeing to know our struggles, frustrations, and limitations don’t separate us from God. He isn’t confused by our tears or put off by our anger. The author of Hebrews tells us Jesus “understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do” (4:15, NLT).
Going to God amid our feelings, not once we’ve “cleaned them up” is actually a mark of spiritual maturity and confidence in God’s character. So here’s a quick prayer to help you invite God into this hard day.

“So John was beheaded in the prison…Later, John’s disciples came for his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus what had happened. As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns” (Matthew 14:10-13, NLT).

Comforter, you don’t require all my days to be good days. And that’s good news because today was really hard. I’m burned out, frustrated, and tempted to think I’m alone. But you know what it feels like to be misunderstood, lonely, angry, and left behind. You know what it feels like to get to the end of the day exhausted, discouraged, and wanting to be by yourself. That’s me right now. To be honest, I don’t have the energy to say much else. I know I don’t have the best attitude right now, but if it’s okay, I just want to be with you. Amen.

"If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
the raging waters
would have swept us away.
Praise be to the Lord,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth" (Psalm 124).
Matthew 7:16-20

"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them" (Matthew 7:16-20).

🙏4 Lessons from Paul about Prayer
🙏Pray All throughout the Day (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Every moment of every day can act as an invitation to prayer. Some of these prayers might be more formal or more specific. Maybe you’re thanking God before a meal, or asking for his help in a particular circumstance. But, in order to pray continually, as Paul says, sometimes our prayers might look a little less traditional, like a quick conversation with him about something you noticed on your drive to work or a word spoken to him about that person you saw in the coffee shop.
🙏Ask God for Anything (Philippians 4:6-7)
Paul tells us to feel free to ask God for anything. It doesn’t matter how big or how small our requests are– God wants us to share them all with him. While God might not always answer our prayers in the ways we expect or desire, we can rest assured that he works for our good and the good of the world. When we don’t see the good in our present circumstances (because, let’s be real, sometimes we won’t), Paul encourages us to cling to the promise that God can still bring us peace, even when and where we least expect it.
🙏The Spirit Helps Us (Romans 8:26)
In the moments when we’re feeling lost, weak, overwhelmed, or heartbroken, we can offer these feelings to God in prayer. Sometimes we’re unable to come up with the right words to pray, the desire to pray, or when we don’t know what to pray for— in these times, we can rely on the intercession of the Helper, the Holy Spirit, to lift up our needs to God. We can commune with God, even if it’s in silence, trusting that he’ll still know and meet our every need as he sees best.
🙏Use Scripture to Pray (Colossians 1:9-14)
Having our heart tuned to Scripture helps us learn more about the character and story of God, and provides beautiful and relevant words to bring to God in prayer. Some people find great peace in praying the Psalms, where there are words for both celebration and lament. Others might find the blessings and prayers Paul uses in his own letters (like in the verse above!) to be meaningful.
When was the last time you felt tired of all the ads telling you you need more? Ever have the urge to unplug and get away from it all? As followers of Jesus, we’re invited into lives of simplicity, where we’re freed from the compulsion to have, do, and be more.
Dive deeper into the spiritual habit of Simplicity, we’ve got everything you need right here. Check out our video on YouTube!
You should’ve been done with this yesterday. And, you could’ve been done the yesterday before that. But, for some reason, your brain keeps kicking the job further down your “to-do” list. After all, what’s one more day?
Each day you put it off, it gets a little bit harder to pick it back up. After all, there are so many better things you’d rather be doing. It’s hard to make time for this. Plus, you work better under pressure. Maybe you just need more time to *think* about it. Or, maybe there’s even a part of you that’s just worried: what if you’re really bad at it?
Thoughts like these can make a procrastinator’s avoidance tendencies go into overdrive, causing us to push the job off even more (for real though, how long do you think it took to write this prayer?).
Thankfully, we can come to God with these worries too, and ask for his strength— and some supernatural focus— to set out and do our work well.
While you still might procrastinate a little, maybe this verse and prayer will help you out when it’s time to hunker down and really get things done.

“So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

God over space and time, I want to spend my hours right now doing pretty much anything but this… Please, remove all my distractions, but also remove my doubt in my abilities to complete this project well. Give me the confidence and motivation to move forward with my work, and help me see how you are at work, even in the smallest of tasks. Show me how to prioritize what’s important and how to best accomplish what needs to be done. Amen.
Where do you struggle with procrastination the most?

We see the hand of God in everything.
All of creation reflects His character.
From the seas to the skies, we see Him.
“In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand…”
Psalms 95:4-7

God, when I face hard things, please show me that you’re near.

Sometimes it can be hard to feel seen by Jesus. He isn’t physically walking around our world today like he was 2,000 years ago. But even back then, it’s not like Jesus could see everything that was going on all the time anyway… right? Well, about that— Jesus tells Nathanael, the very first time He meets him, that He’s seen Nathanael before, under the fig tree. Before Nathanael even knew Jesus, Jesus saw him. Nathanael would go on to become one of Jesus’s disciples, but he didn’t know that yet. Jesus had so much in store and planned for him, before they’d even met.
In the same way, Jesus sees and knows us today, even though we don’t see Him face to face. He knows every little detail about our lives and our futures. He sees us in our darkest places when we feel utterly alone. He sees us in our highest moments when everything is going right. He sees us, He knows us, He is with us.
