Pathways to PurposeSample

Jesus, in Gethsemane, felt the full weight of what was ahead—betrayal, suffering, and death. He didn’t pretend to be strong; He admitted His sorrow. Yet, He still chose to trust the Father’s plan. There are moments when hope feels fragile, when we don’t see a way through the darkness. But hope isn’t about having perfect faith; it’s about holding on even when it’s hard. Jesus carried our sorrow so that even in our darkest moments, we are never alone.

If you feel overwhelmed today, bring your honest emotions to God. Like Jesus in the garden, surrender your burdens to Him, trusting that hope is still alive—even in the struggle.

Prayer:
Jesus, thank you that I can look to your example, knowing that you understand even my most hopeless moments. Help me today to hold on to hope and be a beacon of hope to those around me. Amen.
