Verse of the Day: 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

May 20, 2023

☀️ Good morning!

As we greet this new day, let's draw upon the extraordinary resilience we've been gifted through God's grace. Remember, even when the pressures of life seem intense, we are never crushed or driven to despair. His strength within us makes us not just survivors, but overcomers. Be encouraged by this truth today and every day. Have a truly blessed and triumphant day!

Verse of the Day

"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." 

Navigating the twists and turns of life often exposes us to pressures and uncertainties. We may feel cornered by the issues that surround us, puzzled by the questions with no clear answers, and even persecuted by the trials that seem incessant. We may even feel like we have been knocked down by the weight of our troubles.

Yet, these verses from 2 Corinthians serve as a powerful reminder of the enduring hope and resilience granted to us through Christ. Even when we are hard-pressed, we are not shattered. We may feel bewildered, but we do not succumb to despair. We may face opposition, but we are never deserted. And even when life knocks us down, we are not destroyed.

This is the promise of God for us. Our trials may be relentless, but the sustaining grace of God is infinitely more so. His grace is sufficient, even in our deepest trials.

So, today, let us approach Him in prayer, inviting His strength into our weakness. Regardless of the hardships we face, let's recall that our true resilience is found in Christ, who fortifies us with His unending strength.

Prayer of the Day

Dear Lord,

In the midst of pressures and trials, I come before You, seeking Your strength and guidance. Your word assures me that even when I am hard-pressed, I am not crushed; when perplexed, not in despair; when persecuted, not abandoned; and when struck down, not destroyed.

Today, I ask You to fill me with Your grace and resilience as I face my challenges. Remind me to lean on Your strength when I feel weak, and guide me to persevere through every difficulty.

Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing presence and for the assurance that, in You, I am more than a conqueror.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
