When Following God Makes No Sense - Peter's 5 Words | Luke 5:5 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Wednesday 22 April 2026

Have you ever felt nudged to try something that looked completely pointless - and found yourself doing it anyway? That quiet, tired act of trust might be the most powerful thing you do today.

In this 5-minute devotional, we look at five small words from a worn-out fisherman that changed everything - and discover why trusting God doesn't always feel the way we expect it to.

What you'll take away:

- Why real faith often sounds more like a quiet exhale than a confident shout
- How Mary modelled the same trust before the very first miracle Jesus performed
- The difference between trusting a plan and trusting a person - and why it matters
- One tiny, practical step you can take today

📖 Scriptures: Luke 5:5 | John 2:5
