The LORD Most High is your fortress.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:5 (NLT)
For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even when we are suffering because of our alignment with Christ, he is busy taking care of us.
DAILY FODDER
Why should people suffer for doing the right thing – the Christ thing? What saves you from discouragement when you suffer?
PRAYER
Risen Christ, you suffered on our behalf to overcome death for us. Yet, we still face difficult and painful times as we wait for the day when we're living fully in the resurrected life. Save me the despair that hits when I feel overwhelmed by the present. Lift me up with a fresh glimpse of what is to come. I'm putting my life into your hands. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
