We live in a time where technology evolves faster than we can keep up. And sometimes, as Christians, we wonder if there's still a place for faith in such a digital world. But recently, I was reminded that God can use anything—even artificial intelligence—to encourage, guide, and equip us for His purpose.
Not long ago, I was praying for clarity on a project I was working on. I felt stuck. I had ideas in my heart but didn’t know how to put them into words. That’s when I decided to try a tool called ChatGPT. It’s an AI designed to assist with writing and brainstorming—nothing spiritual about it, right?
But what surprised me was how the process sparked inspiration. I received help organizing my thoughts, crafting outlines, and even finding Bible verses that aligned perfectly with what I had been praying about. Of course, I don’t believe AI replaces the voice of God—but I do believe God can use anything He chooses to remind us that we’re not alone, and that He’s still guiding the process.
