In the wilderness of life you find yourself wondering what is there that’s good anymore. Maybe a loved one passed away or is terribly sick, a close friend betrayed you, or financially you could be losing everything you worked so hard for. Life can beautiful one moment, and next moment kick you in the stomach and leave gasping for air. In fact Jesus himself, the One and only true God, dealt with horrific circumstance. But because of Jesus, one day we will see Paradise and it will look even much better than this mountain view. We are only temporarily here and we will live eternity somewhere else, be it hell because we did not choose Jesus’ Way, or Heaven because we chose Jesus’ Way. I’ve had my share of pain, but I choose to seek Jesus who has all the answers and peace for my weary soul.

Jesus, be with everyone that is struggling today. Be their guide and their source of peace as they seek You. I desire to have more of your Spirit and not live for y own selfish desires. I choose to place you at the front of my life even when I experience persecution for your name sake. In your name I pray to you, Jesus, Amen.
