Day 13

There is no doubting our pain, and no doubting our secure hope. One of the paradoxes of faith.

Focus

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead… In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.” —1 Peter 1:3-9

The gospel is a sure hope, even when we feel nothing of the sort. God is there in your darkest hour with His hope.

Journal

Take 2-3 minutes and journal what you imagined your day would look like if you believed today’s truth. Let the paradoxical feelings of pain and hope continue to remain in tension.
