I set out to produce 5 minute daily devotionals I like to call a Daily Dose of Heaven! Tune in each weekday for a new bible verse, some devotional time, and of course a prayer.

    Progress Over Perfection

    Does perfection ever hold you back from starting something new?

    In today's episode, Richelle Alessi opens up about the struggle between striving for perfection and embracing progress. Together, we’ll uncover how perfectionism can sometimes be a mask for deeper fears, and explore how to push past those barriers, choosing action over hesitation, and faith over fear. As Richelle Alessi shares personal experiences and wisdom from Scripture, our community is invited to reflect on where fear may be stalling our own growth and how small steps can lead to big changes.

    Join us for this uplifting devotional, and let’s pray together as a community for the courage to make progress and trust God with each new beginning.

    When I Shut Down

    Ever felt lost for words when it matters most?

    In today’s episode, host Richelle Alessi invites us to explore the challenge of communication during moments when we want to express ourselves but just can’t seem to find the right words. Together, we’ll dig into the story of Moses from Exodus and examine how God guides us through our internal struggles—even when we feel shut down or misunderstood. We’ll learn how embracing grace, honesty, and patient growth leads us to stronger relationships, both with others and with God.

    Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, trusting that God is patient with us and will help us speak up, grow, and connect more deeply.

    You're Not Alone

    Do you ever find yourself wanting to retreat when life gets tough?

    In today's episode, host Richelle Alessi opens up about the internal struggle of isolation during hard times and reminds us that we're truly not alone. Together, we'll explore how disappointment and discouragement can lead us to withdraw, why that's a dangerous place to stay, and how God's promise to be near the brokenhearted offers hope and connection. We'll also learn practical steps for reaching out to trusted friends, family, and mentors, choosing community and faith over isolation.

    Join us in this heartfelt devotional as we pray for the courage to break out of loneliness and embrace God's presence and the support of our community.

    A Good Father

    What shapes your sense of identity when the world seems to pull you in every direction?

    Today on My Morning Devotional, Gaby Alessi Calatayud and Christian Calatayud invite us into a heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to be seen as God's special possession (a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation) as described in 1 Peter 2:9. Together, we'll explore how the love of a good Father redefines our worth, gives us unshakeable confidence, and calls us out of darkness into his wonderful light.

    Let’s embark on this journey as a community, choosing God’s perspective over the world’s, and learning to walk in the light of our heavenly identity. Join us in prayer and devotion as we ask God to reaffirm who we are in Him today.

    A Generous Father

    How do we recognize the generosity of God in our everyday lives?

    In today’s episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud and Christian Calatayud explore the beautiful truth of God as a generous Father. Together, we’ll reflect on Matthew 7:7-11 and uncover how God encourages us to continue asking, seeking, and knocking. Also, trusting that He provides good gifts in His perfect timing. We’ll learn what it means to take initiative in our relationship with Him, to appreciate the blessings already around us, and to remain patient when certain gifts are withheld for our benefit.

    Join us as a community for this devotional moment, and let’s pray together for hearts open to God’s generosity and endurance to pursue Him in faith each day.

    A Strong Father

    How do we respond when life gets tough and God seems to be guiding us with a firm hand?

    In today's episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud and Christian Calatayud invite us into a heartfelt conversation about the strength and discipline of our Heavenly Father. Together, we’ll explore how God’s loving rebuke and correction are signs of our beloved identity as His sons and daughters. Through personal stories and scriptural insights, we’ll learn to recognize His discipline not as punishment, but as care that realigns and strengthens us for greater purpose.

    Join our community in prayer and devotion as we embrace the nurturing presence of a strong Father and seek a fresh perspective on His loving guidance.

    A Loving Father

    What does it really mean to experience the love of God as a Father?

    In today's episode, we'll explore the lavish love our Heavenly Father pours out on us. A love that goes beyond what we feel day to day and is rooted in the greatest sacrifice ever made. Together with Gaby Alessi Calatayud and Christian Calatayud, our community will reflect on how God's love shapes our freedom, peace, and sense of belonging, and why even when we don't always "feel" it, His love remains steadfast. Christian will open the week with a powerful reminder from 1 John 3:1, examining how God’s justice and love meet in the heart of a perfect Father.

    Let’s journey together through this series, growing deeper in our understanding of God’s love, and let’s close with a prayer, asking that we may truly recognize and receive the love He has so freely given. Join our community in devotion as we thank God for His incredible gift and seek to live each day in the knowledge of His unending love.

    Loving Others

    How do we love others when it feels difficult or even impossible?

    In today's episode, Lauren Alessi invites us to explore the real challenges of loving those around us, from everyday encounters at the grocery store to broken relationships that may need healing and forgiveness. Together, we'll discover how scripture calls us to extend grace, not because it's easy, but because God loved us first. We'll reflect on what this looks like in our families, friendships, and even with those who've hurt us. We'll also learn to ask God for wisdom in expressing love and forgiveness.

    Join the My Morning Devotional community as we pray for guidance to love others well, seeking God's help to nurture grace, set healthy boundaries, and grow in godly compassion.

    Loving Yourself

    Do you ever find it hard to truly love yourself?

    In today’s episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to journey deeper into Psalm 139:14 as we explore the meaning of finding our confidence in Christ and embracing who God created us to be. Together, we’ll learn why loving ourselves is a vital foundation, before we talk about loving others, and how God’s truth can quiet our insecurities. We’ll reflect on the normal struggles we all face with self-image, from the earliest moments of childhood to adulthood, and discover a new way forward by submitting our flaws and fears into God’s hands.

    Join our community for this uplifting devotional as we come together in prayer, asking God to help us see ourselves as His wonderful creation and to remind our souls of His enduring love.
