Day 5

What are you feeling and experiencing right now? Do you ever ask yourself this question? We were made to live now, with the ability to express what is happening, and choose accordingly. The rest we seek isn’t found in escaping, but in being accepted.

Begin the guided prayer using the audio player.

Focus

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters suffer with you.” —1 Peter 5:7-9

It is normal to be struggling in this life—and to have moments of joy. Be honest about your experience and allow for connection with others. Suffer together.

Journal

Take 2-3 minutes and journal what you imagined your day would look like if you believed today’s truth. Our experience is to be lived, not fled.
