🌿 HERE I AM, SEND ME 🌿

From James Langston’s Words of Encouragement (4th Edition)
πŸ“– Available on Amazon

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” — Isaiah 6:8

There are moments in life when God quietly places something on your heart: to help someone, encourage someone, forgive someone, speak up, step out, or trust Him in a greater way.

Yet many people hesitate because they feel unqualified, broken, afraid, or unworthy.

That is exactly what makes Isaiah’s response so powerful.

After encountering the holiness of God, Isaiah became deeply aware of his imperfections. But instead of running away from God’s call, he surrendered himself to it.

“Here I am. Send me.”

God is not searching for perfect people. He is looking for willing hearts.

Too often we think our past disqualifies us, our weaknesses limit us, or our fears make us unusable. But throughout Scripture, God consistently used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

Your availability to God can become the doorway to someone else’s miracle, encouragement, healing, or hope.

Maybe today God is calling you to:
πŸ™ Pray for someone
πŸ™ Encourage someone
πŸ™ Share your testimony
πŸ™ Help those in need
πŸ™ Step out in faith
πŸ™ Trust Him with your future

Do not let fear silence your purpose.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, give me the courage to answer Your call with faith and obedience. Help me trust that You will equip me for every assignment You place before me. Amen.

If this devotion encouraged you, please share it. Someone today may need this reminder.

πŸ“Œ QUESTION OF THE WEEK — May 19, 2026

From James Langston’s book, Real Answers to Life's Tough Questions (2nd Edition)
Available on Amazon

✉️ From: Selma, 16 — Paterson, New Jersey

“Hi Pastor James. I’ve been saved for 3 years, 6 months, and 85 days, but I still struggle to understand prayer. What is the purpose of prayer?”

Selma, thank you for your honesty. Your question is one millions of Christians—young and old—have quietly wrestled with. The truth is, prayer is not about sounding perfect or using fancy words. Prayer is simply talking to God from your heart.

Prayer is where fear meets faith.
Where confusion meets peace.
Where weakness meets strength.
And where broken people encounter a loving God.

Prayer is more than asking God for things. It is how we build a relationship with Him. Through prayer, we seek wisdom, direction, comfort, forgiveness, healing, and courage for everyday life.

Some of the greatest battles people face are invisible: anxiety, loneliness, depression, temptation, family struggles, broken relationships, fear about the future, and silent pain no one else sees. Prayer reminds us that we do not face those battles alone.

The Bible says:

“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18

Prayer will not make you perfect overnight, but it will draw you closer to the One who changes hearts and lives.

If you struggle with prayer, do not quit. Start simple. Start honest. Start today.

πŸ™ Prayer changes things.

We are praying for you, Selma—and for everyone reading this today.

Today, we invite you to prayerfully stand with Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International as we continue reaching hurting communities in the Philippines and throughout Asia with food, hope, encouragement, disaster relief, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

⏳ Time is critical.

The annual rainy season officially begins June 1, 2026, bringing flooding, mudslides, displacement, food shortages, sickness, and damaged infrastructure to many vulnerable communities. Every week matters right now.

THE PRAYER OF JABEZ: IT WAS NEVER ABOUT GREED — IT WAS ABOUT GOD’S HEART

Oh that You would bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” — 1 Chronicles 4:9–10

The Prayer of Jabez is one of the most talked-about prayers in the Bible. Yet many misunderstand it.

This was never a “name it and claim it” formula. It was never a shortcut to riches, fame, or an easy life. Jabez was not manipulating GOD with fancy words. He was crying out from the depths of his heart.

And that is what GOD still listens to today.

Not empty repetition.
Not religious performance.
Not eloquent speeches.

But the HEART.

Jabez understood something many people still miss: GOD is not against blessing His people. He is a loving Father who desires to guide, protect, strengthen, use, and grow those who genuinely seek Him.

“Bless me indeed” was not selfish ambition—it was dependence upon GOD.

“Enlarge my territory” was not just about land—it was about influence, purpose, usefulness, and impact for the Kingdom of GOD.

“Let Your hand be with me” acknowledged that without GOD’s presence, success means nothing.

“Keep me from evil” revealed humility and a desire to live rightly before GOD.

And the Bible says: “And God granted him what he requested.”

Why?

Because GOD saw his heart.

Today, Christians must remember: prayer is not about getting GOD to obey us. Prayer is about aligning our hearts with His will. The Prayer of Jabez reminds us that GOD still hears sincere prayers, honors humility, and responds to faith-filled hearts.

May we stop praying merely for comfort—and begin praying for purpose.

AMERICA IS AT A CROSSROADS — ARE WE PAYING ATTENTION? πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

There was a time when truth mattered. When conviction mattered. When right and wrong were not blurred by politics, culture, compromise, or convenience. Today, America stands at a defining moment in history — morally, spiritually, politically, and culturally.

In these powerful and eye-opening books, author, pastor, and retired U.S. Navy veteran James Langston pulls back the curtain on the times we are living in and asks the questions many are afraid to ask.

πŸ“˜ America 2027: A Nation at the Crossroads of Destiny
America 2027: A Nation at the Crossroads of Destiny

πŸ“˜ So Much Wasted Time (2nd Edition)
So Much Wasted Time (2nd Edition)

πŸ“˜ Prophecy

πŸ“˜ Times and Seasons (2nd Edition)
Times and Seasons (2nd Edition)

These books do not sugarcoat reality. They confront it.

They examine where America is… how we got here… and where we may be headed if we continue down the same path. They challenge complacency, spiritual blindness, cultural confusion, and the dangerous cost of ignoring truth.

The prophet Hosea warned long ago:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”

That warning still echoes today.

This is more than a collection of books.
It is a wake-up call.
A challenge to think.
A challenge to pray.
A challenge to return to truth before truth becomes unrecognizable.

If you are tired of watered-down answers, political spin, and surface-level conversations, these books were written for you.

Read them. Share them. Talk about them.
Before it’s too late.
