Weary: Holding on to God's Word in Hard TimesSample

Stay for a While

One of the most basic truths of Christianity is that God loves us. But in times of weakness, tiredness, or pain, it can be hard to see or make sense of this love.

I’m often tempted to chase after things I think will bring me joy, forgetting how good and beautiful it is to simply be in God’s presence. The good news is, even when we forget, He still invites us to remain with Him. Because of His love, we can love Him in return and extend that love to others, bearing lasting fruit.

I hope this track reminds you of God’s steadfast love—a love that seeks your complete joy and knows your every need. Let us remain in His love… stay for a while.

Reflection:

• What simple daily actions could you take to help you stay rooted in God’s love? It might be as simple as reflecting on His goodness during your commute to work, school, or even while running errands.

Prayer:

God, I thank you for the opportunity to be in your presence. I thank you for Jesus’s redeeming work on the cross, and I thank you for the gift of grace. I thank you because you are faithful even when I’m unfaithful, and I pray that you would help my heart to rest in what is already true: that I am fully known and loved by you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
