Counterpoint, if you're open to it: I think all the font changes are a little fatiguing, personally. It's really just a heading, two opening quotations, body text, and a sort of aside. I think you could sufficiently keep everything distinct via e.g. a small symbol between the scripture passage and the quote, and perhaps a simple box around the affirmation. You could probably even do away with the symbol if you moved the scripture citation to the end of it instead of the beginning.

I'm not saying that's precisely what you should do, just saying that sometimes it can be useful to figure out the absolute bottom in terms of presentation and then build up a little from there rather than tackling it from the top and trying to navigate all the font stuff. Also context in the text itself can make things a lot clearer than we sometimes give it credit for. "Todays Affirmation:" alone tells me I'm about to read today's affirmation, font shift or no.
