New daily devotional shares essays and prayers to uplift and strengthen the lives of believers
LOS ANGELES, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inspired by the image of a small flower blooming toward the sun, author Melanie Padilla weaves together intimate personal essays and encouraging prayers in her new memoir-style devotional, "Plant in A Tiny Space: 31 Daily Devotionals."
After losing her father at the age of 16, Padilla entered a Christian women's home. From there, she endured the valleys of drug addiction, homelessness, and an urgent medical diagnosis. Yet, she never lost faith that she was loved and valued in the eyes of her creator. While detailing her challenging journey, Padilla aims to uplift readers as her devotionals speak tenderly to those who may feel forgotten or broken, urging them to trust in the healing light of Christ.
"Even when the path is uncertain, I've learned to trust that God is working for my healing," Padilla said. "I remind myself daily: the lord loves me, the lord cares for me, the lord wants me to be well."
In addition, each day includes a prayer, offering readers a moment to pause, reflect, and connect with God. Padilla reminds readers how each prayer may serve as gentle prompts for stronger conversations with the lord, helping them internalize the devotion and carry it into their daily lives.
"Whether used individually or in a group setting, my devotional invites meaningful discussion, spiritual growth, and encouragement rooted in scripture and personal testimony." Padilla said, "His truth has carried me through. I pray that others will also recognize his presence, see the holy spirit, and know that even in the waiting of healing, they are deeply loved and never alone."
