I cry out day and night, but you don’t answer, and I can never rest. ~ Psalm 22:2 (CEV)
They begged him, “Stay with us! It’s already late, and the sun is going down.” So Jesus went into the house to stay with them. ~ Luke 24:29 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Jesus stays with us during the stressful times.PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, you cried out in anguish from the cross saying that you felt abandoned. I sometimes feel that way and appreciate that you are human with us in that way. I also appreciate that you are eager to "stay" with us during the stressful times. Help me to turn to you rather than inward into myself when I feel the frustration. For the way of the cross leads to resurrection living. Amen.
