Hey friend,

When I close my eyes, I sometimes imagine Jesus standing in the middle of my driveway. We have a long, winding gravel path that leads to the main road. Our home is nestled off the street, hidden behind a swath of pine trees. From the road, the view is unclear. But as you inch down the path, our house comes into view.

When I think about Jesus drawing me near, I see Him just at the edge of the bend. I walk out to meet Him. And He waits for me.

As I reach Him, I lay my head upon His chest.

And He waits for me.

I go back to this image when my faith wavers. In those moments, I ask simple questions: Do I still love You, Lord? Do I trust You? Can I see Your hand at this moment?

On the days when everything feels like it’s falling apart — when the job changes, the diagnosis comes, the people leave — there is one truth I return to: God promises to love us forever. That is true. That is constant. That promise remains when everything else screams at us to move, change, strive, or give more than we have.

I choose to set my eyes upon the promises of God. To allow their peace to sustain me as I walk through life with my Savior.

Hand in hand. On hard days and glorious ones.

Together. We go together.

I invite you, friend, to do the same. To lay down your pursuit of purpose so you can find rest in the arms of a sovereign, holy God who loves you without blame or blemish.

Something to sit with: If you could walk out to meet Jesus today, what would you lay at His feet?​

This is the last devotional in this series — but it doesn’t have to be the last time these words meet you. Promise Over Purpose holds so much more of this journey. If this month gave you even one breath of peace, the full book will take you deeper. And the audiobook lets you carry it with you — on the commute, on the walk, in the quiet after the kids are asleep.

The book is available on Audible, Kindle, and Paperback.​
​

And here’s a gift:

Order the book in any format, then simply reply to this email with the word PROMISE (or forward your receipt to contact@danitacummins.com) — and I’ll send you the free Promise Over Purpose Companion Bundle.

The bundle includes:

• A Guide to Living in the Daily Promises of God — with daily practices, weekly actions, and a 4-week guided plan

• The Promise Over Purpose Reflection Guide — with study questions, scripture reflections, and journal space to walk alongside the book

It’s my way of saying thank you — and making sure you don’t just read these promises, but live in them.

Thank you for walking this month with me. It means more than you know.

With love,
