Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Psalm 10:1-2 (NIV) “Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.”

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for another day and for never turning Your back on us, even when we struggle to feel Your presence.

Lord, sometimes life gets so overwhelming that we find ourselves asking where You are. We see people being mistreated, innocent people suffering, and others taking advantage of those who are already struggling.

Father, protect those who are vulnerable. Give strength to those who feel powerless and courage to those who are afraid. Help us recognize wrongdoing without allowing anger and bitterness to take over our hearts.

And Lord, when our prayers seem unanswered, remind us that Your silence doesn't mean You've abandoned us. Help us keep trusting You, even when we don't understand what's happening.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Brothers and Sisters, have you ever prayed so hard about something and wondered if God was even listening?

I think most of us have had moments like that.

Psalm 10 reminds us that even David struggled with questions about God's presence when he saw injustice and suffering.

And here's something important. Having questions doesn't mean you've lost your faith.

Sometimes faith is continuing to pray when you're frustrated, hurting, or just plain exhausted.

God isn't asking us to pretend everything is wonderful when it isn't. We can bring Him our fears, our tears, our frustration, and even our questions.

So if you're going through something difficult today, don't stop talking to Him.

You may not understand what He's doing right now, but you haven't been forgotten.

Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does.

Jesus once said "let there be light" and the next thing you know, there was light!!! And that's one of the most powerful creations that Jesus has ever done, but not as powerful as the creation of me and you😁

Thought for the Day from Unshakable Kingdom Life

The kingdom life requires daily death to self, crucifying our agenda to embrace His. It's costly, uncomfortable, counter-cultural, and absolutely worth every sacrifice made.

A thought to ponder.
