Psalms 94:18-19
When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O Lord , held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

Love God Greatly: Growing Through Prayer
SOAP – Psalm 51:2-4
David laments describing the sorrow he feels after committing great sin. David’s desire to have a clean heart before God is one that believers should also seek. But God made an everlasting provision for permanent cleansing from sin. The demonstration of God’s great love for believers was the sacrifice of His Son for ungodly sinners. Believers were once sinners who actively opposed God’s agenda. Believers were once sinners who cared nothing for the things or ways of God. Believers were once sinners who deserved the wrath of God. Believers were once sinners who were the enemies of God. Through that one act of Jesus alone, the opportunity was given for all to be reconciled with God by making the choice to surrender our lives to Him and follow Him. A believer’s confidence, assurance, hope, and stability can stand on the fact that God did the hardest thing. He sacrificed His Son to become one with His enemies. God freed us from the penalty and power of sin through our surrender to Jesus Christ.
Have you surrendered your life to the Lord? Who do you know that needs to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross? Will you share that Good News today?
Father God, I thank You Lord for loving me out of the darkness. I thank You for sacrificing Your Son for me. Lord, help me to totally rely on You, trust You completely, and surrender all of my problems and my pain to You…knowing that You love me as Your own. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Pain Is a Microphone
Suffering isn’t an obstacle to being used by God. It is an opportunity to be used like never before.
You’re actually better fit for ministry in the crucible of pain. You have a stronger voice to project and to declare, and it’s easier to belt from the diaphragm of your soul when you’re hurting. It’s counterintuitive, but in the middle of my hardest mess, I’ve found ministry to be a great strength waiting to be tapped into. It was welling up within me—a greater desire than ever before to tell the whole world that Jesus Christ can turn off the dark—because I experienced it myself. Right there, at ground zero, in the valley of the shadow of death. As hard as it was to claw our way through on hands and knees in those moments, Jennie and I found that when we poured our pain into ministry, whole new levels of usefulness opened up. There’s perhaps no time you are as powerful as when you minister in the midst of pain.
