An ordinary trip to the car wash turned into an unexpected reminder: faithfulness isn’t about what we have—it’s about how we care for it.

When our cat disappeared during a stretch of stormy weather, I found myself praying a prayer that felt small—but honest. What happened next reminded me that God cares about the details, even the ones with fur and whiskers.

Surrender sounds simple, but living it out is a daily struggle. Even faithful believers throughout history wrestled with wandering — and returning again to Jesus.
