Devotion
God is in the midst of our life, especially when there is brokenness. When we lose friends, when we experience the death of a loved one, we experience pain and suffering. As we embrace Jesus, we will find a new relationship growing. We need to be in relationship with Jesus to discover the resurrection in our life when nothing seems to be going right. We come hungry for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. As we draw near to God, we draw near to each other.
Prayer
Dear God, send your Spirit to renew us and encourage us daily.
